Voters elect the people who run the government so if it is broke…we did it!

Voters elect the people who run the government so if it is broke…we did it!
For the sake of plain old fashioned truth, let me start this piece of communication with a fundamental fact. Every one of the people responsible for governing the United States of America was elected to do so in campaigns where they [...]

Who knew tea could cause such hateful stupidity…

Who knew tea could cause such hateful stupidity…
Let’s start with a common truth. The tea-party is as racist as the guy in the photo that attacked black students during the busing days in Boston. Having said that, maybe that’s why they keep rambling on about how Obama is taking food out of the mouth of [...]

Corporations can now buy politicians to make everything legal!

January 22, 2010

The Supreme Court voted 5-4 to allow corporations to spend any amount they want to support the campaigns of presidential and congressional candidates. I must admit I did not see anything like this coming. I think it is an astonishing decision although if I reflect on who the members of the court are, I should [...]

In 2010 and hereafter, let us return to the one true God …

January 8, 2010

I chose to follow the teachings of Jesus because the things he said are common to every religion. They all admonish their followers to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and suffer the children to learn to love their neighbor as they love themselves and so on. The selflessness of these admonitions tends to attract [...]

For there is one true God of mercy who has made us, each and every one…

January 3, 2010

I do not have a religion. Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and the rest are merely words coined by men. In each case, the members of these groups worship a singularly powerful entity they refer to as God, Allah or other name. And that is precisely why there is no such thing as religion: there is [...]

I say old chap, maybe there is and maybe there isn’t…

December 24, 2009

Earlier this year, I wrote an article about a growing discontent with church-based Christianity in the United States. A study due for release in January in the U. K. has reached some very startling and disturbing conclusions. Unlike an earlier study by the Pew Forum finding that people are stitching elements from various faiths together [...]

A Very Delicious Irony…

December 11, 2009

What a delicious irony. For the first time in our history, an African American has been elected President of the United States of America. After hearing his campaign remarks, the world has accepted, embraced and hailed him as one of the greatest leaders of our time. And this comes in spite of the relatively large [...]

Where the hell is Abe Lincoln & Teddy Roosevelt when you need them?

December 1, 2009

Isn’t it interesting that the only thing the majority of Republicans agree on is that President Obama is not good for the United States for some reason or other. While almost 3 out of 4 Republicans feel that way, there is still that 1 in 4 that thinks he is at least a human being [...]

Wasn’t 1997 a great year for Dom Romane Conti? Please bring another bottle…

November 14, 2009

Close your eyes and try to picture you and all the members of your family in this environment. You are living in Afghanistan where every so often, Al-Qaeda blows something up trying to kill Americans and other coalition forces and end up killing innocent Afghans as well. Every now and then, a Taliban bomber blows something [...]

We need to start saving in case we get sick…

November 10, 2009

Suppose a licensed practicing physician said “We’re losing more Americans every day because of inaction …(regarding a lack of health insurance) than drunk driving and homicide combined,” Should his remark have any credibility? If you are one of the more rational people in America and answered yes, then you should know that Dr. David [...]
