Senator Barack Obama is facing flak over a picture showing him in a turban. Until the 1960's the US was a country in which almost every self respecting individual would be found wearing a hat. And there is nothing wrong in it as the head dress is a part of the sartorial get up of any culture. In fact most parts of the world would probably interpret a bare head as a gesture of rudeness and unseemly behavior. Covering the head for prayer, in church and other ceremonial situations is still co...
Of the two presidential "wannabes" in the democratic summer camp Hillary Clinton has a more realistic view of political direction and has a more professional presentation.
I know you all are thinking this conservatie has lost his mind. Well I have not. I do not like democrats. I think they are the worst evil that exist in America.
In my mind, nothing is worse than some one with false promises playing with people's dreams.
However, if democrats are to be taken...
All right, kiddies. Time for a break from regaling you with tales from Spain, and back to the mire with more President Bush quotes! (Don't worry, my faithful Spain-tales readers - yeah, all two of you - they'll be back later today with a very, very juicy episode. Yay yay yay.)

So everyone is "eulogizing" Fidel Castro right now (regardless of his actual status, it is clear his time on the stage of the world is at an end. I was reading the comments to Armed Liberal's post on the subject; and ran across a lovely comment by Celebrim (in response to an earlier comment that the US has not realized "health care is a human right.")
I propose a simple test for human rights. Human rights are those things that a man would possess were he the only person on the Earth. They are...
The Texas Debate was quite an event. Both candidate seated sedately in the Great auditorium of Texas, Austin, a campus where more than 30 years ago the first of several campus shootings took place, the latest being De Kalb. Hillary Clinton was at here charming best and Barack Obama looked confident: just the right mix of reserve and openess to look presidential. The debate raised several questions and at the end of it the lead of Barack Obama will become impossible for Hillary to bridg...
One of the big debates in this election is the issue of health care in the U.S. On one side we have the democrats who think the government should be the authority, and in Hillarys case, make you forcefully pay for your insurance whether you want it or not. On the republican side we have....well ya know, I really cant' figure out what the republican stand is on it aside from not wanting socialized health care.
Conventional liberal thinking is that the government (and more mon...
It is official. I am crazy. On January 31, I accepted a position as a Counselor Intern in a Drug and Treatment center. Today, 19th of February I resigned that position.
When I took the job I did not know why I took it. I do not know why I resigned. I do know that I am convinced that the world does not function anymore.
This last point brings me to my overall point of this BLOG. Mr. McCain sold his soul to the devil banking on the support of indepen...
The clueless liberal once again states that we have to raise taxes. Anybody who thinks that raising taxes will benefit anyone is just plain stupid. The U.S. government is the biggest waste machine going, and the majority of spending is already going to social programs for people who are non-producers, and in many cases, the losers of society.
Spending is the problem! Look at the "free" giveaway just passed where republicans and democrats just added over $100 billion to help ...
The other day I was reading and posting on a polictical disscussion board when one of the posters wrote a post that quoted a news article and what he wrote was not so shocking as was his response to some posters who responded to it. Here is the orginal post:

A very long time ago I started thinking about what are the contributing factors to social issues. I can to the conclusion that there is a social force that creates destructive attitudes in people. Then, I came to the conclusion that this creation of destructive attitudes is deliberate.
It helps liberals, whether in politics or in the media, to have people buy in to their emotional diatribe about fairness and justice.
It by all means is sad that people suffer in life. However, it is even...
I just read a post from the derranged, obsessive Bush hater where as usual, they blame basically every problem on Bush. In typical liberal democrat fashion, Bush and the federal government are to blame for everything that goes on in your life.
Can't afford your home.....it's Bush's fault. Don't have an extra HD TV....it's Bush's fault.The list goes on and on.
People are not losing their homes because of Bush, they are losing their homes because they bought something they...
I was watching the Potomac Primaries this Tuesday, and both Barack Obama and John McCain swept all the contests. If you want my opinion, John McCain needs to work on his rally set up, because after the contests, both he and Obama had a victory rally. Let me give you a photographic representation of both their rallies:
1st John McCain:
2nd: Barack Obama:
Now of course this is a gross graphic misrepresentation, except for the Obama rally because that is a real picture of his. I am...
"The Election Bribe Package of '08"
Sponsored by republicans and made worse by the democrats and media.
What started off as a bad idea by republicans was made worse when democrats added even more billions and used more propaganda about unemployment and senior citizens which was then helped by the media.
If you get a rebate, take your money and put it into a CD or something. You will need it for when Obama/Hillary really start "motivating" the economy.
In this election season, the words: Rich, Tax-Cutting, IRS-Extermination and Money-Stealing -From-The-Rich -Democrats are so prevalent in the speeches of the Rep. candidates that I thought about what these words do really mean.
The first word, RICH, is defined by the Dictionary as: possession of wealth. Its Second meaning is Valuable. The first definition does not exclude the second, since it did not define wealth exclusively as "money" or "material things".
So, in reality being Rich is ...
I find it interesting how "some" people have done nothing for the last couple of years of their life but complain, and complain more about the federal budget, but when the government is ready to spend billions and billion on a welfare scheme that they are somehow supportive and even upset that even MORE money was not included for it.
I call it hypocrisy.
Increasing unemployment benefits to people will not help the economy. Dependency never helped anyone. Getting a job will help...
