National Values 102

We often get so caught up in the fighting, name calling, assigning blame, bickering, that we forget that our nation was predicated on some very solid fundamental values, drawn from the Bible, the teachings of great philosophers and legendary teachers, the wisdom of the ages, even drawn from the ministry of Jesus Christ during his short time on Earth.

Dead kids sure are a bummer but….

None of the discussions about guns and gun control are remotely coherent or rational. We can nitpick over the details of gun regulation but frankly the whole discussion is so far out off the edge, it’s like a conversation in an insane asylum between Napoleon and Jesus about what they should do with Elvis over there in the corner to keep him from singing “All Shook Up” during arts and crafts. Yes, it’s that bad. It’s pure insanity. Continue reading

The Face of Courage

On September 18, 2001, the Authorization to Use Military Force was signed into law by President George W. Bush. It had passed 98-0 in the Senate and 420-1 in the House of Representatives. The one dissenting vote against the legislation that has sent this nation headlong into the abyss which we have been brainwashed into embracing as the War on Terror, was cast by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA). Continue reading

Going Postal

We can deliver enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 25 times over with 12,000 active ICBMs, and fleets of nuclear submarines and long range bombers.

What if they gave a war and everybody showed up?

Back in the 60s, there was an anti-war slogan popularized by Charlotte E. Keyes, which was then turned into a full-length film: “Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?” Well, I’m proposing the opposite: “What if they gave a war and everybody showed up?” Continue reading

“Take me to your leader!”

I personally believe the President, and members of the House and Senate, both Democrat and Republican, fail on all counts to provide anything resembling strong, visionary, decisive leadership. They have proven time and time again to be weak, evasive, cowardly, unimaginative, sometimes simple-minded, at a time in our history that demands much more. Continue reading

Spreading The Love

TPP is being promoted by a public relations campaign using our public officials as spokespersons for the transnational corporate elite who are promoting this onerous, ill-conceived weapon of economic destruction.

Don’t be fooled by this self-serving and bogus propaganda. Continue reading
