President Obama’s Most Important Jobs are Husband and Father

All those conservatives worried that President Obama is going to socialize the economy and try to control everybody all the time, relax. He’s too late. Not only is he too late to place the federal government in control of America’s economic and social systems, those systems are rapidly collapsing to being valueless and debauched. The passing Bush Administration did its part to wreck both as he entered the White House pledging budgetary parsimony and humility in foreign affairs but is leaving after doubling the... Read article

Bicycling Across America

A Christmas Tale About a Man Named Joe–Funny as all git out! “I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I­ never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another’s ­creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion­ to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. ­For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion­ must be judged.” ~ Thomas Jefferson While I usually write about heavy subjects facing Colorado and the... Read article

Where Are Dobson And PCC Now?

I ask my non-Christian friends to bear with me on this column. As one will quickly see, this column is addressed to my fellow Christian conservatives. Regular readers of this column know that one of my chief frustrations is the way Christian conservatives (otherwise known as the “Religious Right”) are so easily deceived by Republican politicians. The all-time classic illustration of this foible is the way the Religious Right was (and is) so enamored with President George W. Bush. No matter what Bush did: no matter... Read article

Illinois Citizens Deserve Corrupt Government

The current Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, recently charged with crimes by the federal government, just follows in the footsteps of previous convicted Illinois governors and a huge number of other Illinois officials convicted of crimes. What is remarkable is that in the 2008 election Illinois voters had the opportunity to recognize that they needed to use their constitutional convention opportunity to reform state government. They voted not to use it. Which raises the question: How stupid or brainwashed are most Illinois... Read article

The Inaugural Speech President Obama Needs To Give

As America’s problems and challenges mount by the day, President-elect Obama faces extraordinary national and international quandaries. He finds 14 million Americans out of work with additional unemployment troubles accelerating as auto and manufacturing jobs vanish by the thousands weekly. He faces an ever growing avalanche of dilemmas that include legal and illegal immigration, infrastructure degeneration, medical systems collapsing, 47 million Americans without insurance, debilitating wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, energy... Read article

Retailers say Bah! Humbug to Christmas

At this time last year, I visited our local mall to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Lo and behold! Not a sign, a song, a word of Christmas! All I saw were signs of “Happy Holidays” proclaiming “buy, buy, buy!” Stunned by this lack of recognition of “Christmas,” I bought one gift and as the clerk rang it up, I asked her, “What happened to ‘Merry Christmas’?” She shrugged her shoulders and as I left, she said, “Happy Holidays.” I said “Merry Christmas” anyway. A senior moment? I know I’m getting... Read article

The Socialist and the Stone

When I was still within a stones’ throw of ladhood, I had an acquaintance who was essentially a socialist. I can’t say for sure he proclaimed himself as such – although I believe he did – but that was certainly where his passions lay. He was a man of about 60 years, and his exterior matched his ideology. Much of his hair and its melanin had obviously been redistributed, and he certainly was the very model of a modern minor socialist. I’d say the year was about 1989, the tail end of the booming Reagan... Read article

The Power Elite Playbook, Establishing Precedents

Part Nineteen The exploitation of the Philippine Islands’ vast mineral reserves, so strongly encouraged by President McKinley, gave one particular American Expeditionary soldier, First Lieutenant John William Haussermann (1867-1965, discharged September 1, 1899),[1] an Ohio-born attorney from Leavenworth, Kansas, a (literally) golden opportunity. [2] Since Philippine law didn’t recognize the American entity known as a “corporation,” the U.S. Congress passed a law on July 1, 1902 which enabled Haussermann, then city... Read article

Ideas for Change in America

Enforce our Immigration Laws… Never in the history of the world has one country, the United States of America, absorbed so many immigrants from around the world—into the tens of millions. However, no other country ever tolerated or survived over 20 million ILLegal alien migrants like the U.S. in the past 20 years. Finally, U.S. citizens find their country filled up, out of water, lacking energy and suffering unsolvable problems. You may discover a website that encourages what Americans want to see changed in the... Read article

Role of Alleged CIA Asset in Mumbai Attacks Being Downplayed

The role in the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last month of an underworld kingpin that heads an organization known as D-Company, has known ties to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and who is alleged to have ties with the CIA is apparently being whitewashed, suggesting that his capture and handover to India might prove inconvenient for either the ISI or the CIA, or both. It was Dawood Ibrahim who was initially characterized by press reports as being the mastermind behind the attacks. Now, that title of “mastermind”... Read article

Selective Constitutionalism

Many conservatives are up in arms regarding the charge that President-elect Barack Obama may not have been born in the United States and is, therefore, not qualified under the U.S. Constitution to be President of the United States. Article. II. Section. 1. of the U.S. Constitution states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President . . . .” Some accuse Mr. Obama of not being born in... Read article

Card Check

“You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chains” though the Federal Reserve is now the biggest single participant in the financial system, the myth of a “free market” still lingers on. Go figure? The Fed has expanded its balance sheet by $2 trillion, guaranteed $8.3 trillion of dodgy mortgage-backed paper, provided a backstop for bank deposits, money markets, commercial paper, and created 8 separate lending facilities to ensure that underwater financial institutions can still appear to be solvent. The... Read article

Obama Conspiracy

Mr. G.B. Shaw sez: “I often quote myself; it adds spice to my conversation.” With that concept in mind, I’ll remind you of something I said in a recent interview, re: St. Barack. Obama’s ascendancy, I posited, “is an excellent illustration of how the system handles dissent. A black face, a soothing voice and a vague message of change – all designed to keep the rabble pacified without changing anything at all.” This, I submit, could be deemed the ultimate conspiracy theory. The power elite, especially... Read article

Misallocated Infamy

For the past 67 years America has commemorated over 2,400 sailors, soldiers and airmen who were killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Every such anniversary reminds us that all history is to some extent contemporary history: Almost seven decades after the event, the myth of FDR’s goodness and greatness – revived for current political purposes during and after this year’s election campaign – makes it less “appropriate” than ever to ask if he knew about the attack; and, more importantly,... Read article

Next Added 100 Million Americans: Poverty in America

Chapter Eleven… “Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavor on any scale, from the microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases in population, locally, nationally, or globally?” Dr. Albert Bartlett While attending a conference in Denver, Colorado, I noticed dozens of beggars on the streets. They stood at intersections carrying cardboard signs that read, “Homeless, anything will help, God bless.” As I walked... Read article

National Sins

Ignored and Festered… With great exuberance we are told by our media that we have elected our first Black President who is about to bring needed change to our nation. Naïve voters are filled with high expectations. The actions of the president-elect belie his promises. He is choosing cabinet members who have been active promoters of world government. Read about his choices here. Paul Volker, his latest pick, is an ultimate insider, a former chairman of the Federal Reserve. In 1981 he created a recession by... Read article
