THE DEVIL BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US

  Has anyone ever wondered where wars come from and just who starts them and why?  We already know who fights them (us) because we are just pawns in this spiritual chess match.    There always seems to be two great spiritual entities...

October 26, 2012 – Dear Ms. Noonan…

True to my word, I have not read one of your columns since the election of Barack Obama as president.  I am always intrigued when Drudge decides to put your prose upon his web page.  For the most part I ignore it.  But today I found that I had to see...

October 09, 2012 – Poll the Polls…

The polls, the polls!  Who’s up?  Who’s down?  Round and round we go.  Spin, spin, spin for the one they want to win. The way things are going with these pollsters they will soon be polling ONLY Socialist Democrats in order to get their desired...

  • The truth always hurts when you have kept your eyes blind to the truth for so long. Like an Eskimo living in the third igloo down and coming out to the sunshine.

  • All in all, what you think does matter – even though you cannot yet vote. The fiscal crisis that Obama has put the United States in (through unprecedented increases in the national debt and the failure to secure a budget in four years) will have long-lasting results that will directly affect you for most of your working life. You (even at this age) must stay informed and educate yourself. Do not listen to the media propoganda, but use their talking points as a basis for research yourself – then, as an educated citizen, decide for yourself.

    With respect to Romney’s tax plan – a full disclosure of his plan would have been met with distortion from the Obama administration and taken the focus off of Obama’s failed economic and foreign policy agenda.

  • Obama, as a Senator from Illinois, also voted to allow “shelf abortions” – if a baby is born during a botched abortion, then the baby is to be put on a shelf and allowed to die, rather than having medical care provided.

  • Turnout in early voting and absentee ballot requests IS off the chart for Republicans across the whole country. As of Saturday, 67% more Republicans have taken advantage of early voting or absentee ballots than have Democrats. The Obama internal polling matrix used the voter turnout from 2008 to come up with their hoped for Obama victory in 2012. Republicans are clearly ahead in the early vote and Democrats rarely turn out to the polls on Election Day in the same number as Democrats. All this bodes well for a resounding Romney/Ryan victory.
