Despite denials from about half of our own citizens, it’s readily apparent that changes are happening in the U.S… and not for the better. It’s a sad day, though, when it’s recognized by the Russians:
From Pravda-
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening […]

OK, so Congress causes a problem … the financial mess our country is in … and, while ignoring or denying their involvement, assert that THEY are the only ones who can “solve” the problem. While I have very little confidence that they can (or should) do that, it doesn’t change the fact that Congress […]

I can’t believe it. The President addressed Congress recently and, while he was explaining his decision to take a certain course of action in response to the current economic problems, he lied to everyone. Just like that. No hesitation, no blinking. While looking us straight in the eye.
It’s one thing when […]

This is the most confusing time in our country that I can remember. While I have not always understood every nuance of government action, political moves, or economic gyrations, I’ve generally been able to recognize why most things happened. Not so, today.
It reminds me a lot of the investment confusion during […]

Without even knowing all the science behind it, most of us know the common sense of “cause and effect”… of probable outcomes from certain actions. If I drive a car with my eyes closed, I’ll probably run into something. If I ignore the “low oil” light in my car dashboard, the engine will eventually seize […]

Every election cycle, the topic of illegal voting comes up in the news, but it seems especially visible this time around. Typically, it’s some minor situation that gets a few minutes of air time and then fades away. That’s not the case this year. Perhaps we’ve reached the point where internet news sources, blogs and […]

Often, we’re unconsciously aware of a problem well before it rises to conscious recognition. Even then, most people are very tolerant. We recognize the problem as such but are not motivated to do anything about it at first… we allow the problem to grow until it reaches a higher pain threshold… and THEN they do […]

Americans often talk fondly of our Free Enterprise system and its virtues. America certainly would not have grown so rapidly to such a height as a world power were it not for the opportunity it offers. Opportunity for those who are WILLING TO WORK to pull themselves up and become successful in our capitalistic society. […]

While fingers are pointing in all directions to lay blame for the current financial calamity, and there’s plenty of blame to go around, it seems that most people agree — at least tacitly – on the root fo the problem. Getting some to say it out loud is difficult, however, since saying it DIRECTLY seems […]

I’m not going to delve into all the political details that emerged after Sarah Palin was chosen as John McCain’s running mate, but I do find one aspect particularly interesting. This has nothing to do with the personalities involved in this election but, rather a situation that has come, once again, to the forefront. Ms. […]
