Recently I've been studying at length Israel's ancient history during the times of the Kings. More specifically I'm reading about the four kings in the prophet Isaiah's lifetime. I couldn't help but draw some comparisons to what's happening in our country today. Not for the better I might add. The King's success or failure was directly related to their relationship with God. Israel suffered or prospered as a result of the current King's actions. ...
"Name some of Obama's legislative accomplishments." http://www.chrishowie.com/2009/09/25/chris-matthews-vs-kirk-watson-re-obama/
German. Translation follows below the link: Obama nach sechs Monaten unbeliebter als Bush Ein halbes Jahr nach seinem von großen Hoffnungen begleiteten Amtsantritt als US-Präsident wird Barack Obama vom Alltag eingeholt. Eine Mehrheit der Amerikaner empfindet seinen Kurs als falsch. Obamas persönliche Umfragewerte sind sogar schlechter als die von George W. Bush zur gleichen Zeit. Obama bleibt gelassen. http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article4166364/Obama-nach-se...
So Obama's made history yet again. He wasn't just content in being the first black President. He wasn't content in being the first President ever in helping the government obtain dominate shareholder status in the auto industry. He wasn't even content on having the unemployment rate jump higher than ever. He now can boast of yet another historical first. He now can say he's the only President EVER who has run the deficit all the way to ...
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. ... Democrat President John F. Kennedy ...
KFC Ditching Col. Sanders for Young Face? After its grilled-chicken promo with Oprah got burned, KFC has decided to try out a new recipe: direct outreach to fans. In a campaign that launched yesterday, the fast-food chicken maker is searching for what it called the new face of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Sorry, Colonel: Your beaming, slightly irascible visage might just be scrapped for that of a real, live person. From now till July 7, you can upload a video of yourself to a KFC MySpac...
The business of selling used MP3s Carting a crate of used CDs to your local record store so you can make rent is a rite of passage as ancient as it can be tearful. But what about those MP3s and iTunes songs you're ready to unload? Is there a way to sell those off, too, when you get tired of them or just need some extra scratch? A new crop of consumer-facing music stores is focused on helping fans resell "used" digital music the way they do CDs. But the big conundrum with ...
There's a lesson in here somewhere. Loose lips sink ships? It's better to keep your mouth shut and let others think you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt? Don't let the cat out of the bag? Put up or shut up? Or how about.....say what you mean and mean what you say? Anyway, you'd think with the way the world is sinking fast and furious there would be alot less talk and a lot more action. Nope. *Sigh* b...
"According to the U.S. government, I am an extremist. I am a Christian and meet regularly with other Christians to study God's word. My faith convinces me the prophecies in the Holy Bible are true. I believe in the sanctity of human life, oppose abortion, and want to preserve marriage as the union of a man and a woman." Wow! While I would like to take credit for the above quote because it's exactly what I could say as well, I can't. This was written ...
As often happens, satirical news site " The Onion " is among the first to notice that the media have been supporting Obama too much and created this little piece of what-if: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/media_having_trouble_finding_right?utm_source=a-section This begs the question: if Obama does screw up, how will we ever find out? The media won't tell us. They didn't tell us about Obama's racist church or his scary views on child murder. Can we trust them to tell us if...
Ok, dust off your history books. I've got a quote and a story for you. Let's start with the quote from Norman Matton Thomas (Nov 29, 1884-Dec 19-1968). He was a leading American Socialist, pacifist and six time Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. He was an ordained Presbyterian Minister in 1911. As a candidate for President of the U.S. Thomas said in a 1944 speech: " " The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, ...
She has to be one of the worst leaders in history.
After savaging McCain in the campaign over McCain's plan to trade a tax credit for taxes on healthcare benefits, to move the buying decision from the employer to the employee, calling it 'the largest middle class tax increase in history,' BO has decided to let Congress know that, 'Hey, I opposed this idea, but if you guys wanna do it, what can I do to stop you?'
As if they already haven’t spent enough money in one month of power, they are already opening the prospects for more of this so-called “stimulus”. “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she is open to introducing a second stimulus bill, but it's too early to determine the size of such a package and the timing on another major economic measure. “We have to keep the door open to see how it goes,” Pelosi told reporters Tuesday following a House Democratic Steering a...
Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says, "I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?" The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed. At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor’s house. ...
