There’s been a great deal of hubbub over this video during the last two days, and rightly so. If you’ve got a free half an hour, then feel free to watch it and be moved by it. But please, please… wait before you act, study the organization you’re giving to, and use discretion. Having watched the video and done a little bit of reading myself, | Read More »
Laying It All On The Line Governor Perry, I want to begin by stating how thankful I am for your leadership in Texas and how proud I am of the work that you have done to make Texas the finest state in which to live. Your leadership as Governor had been admirable, and it has been wonderful to see you apply the principle that an | Read More »
Whether we want to admit or not, the 2012 election and race for the GOP nomination is focused on attracting the hearts and minds of a populace suffering from a bad case of ADHD. Think about it for a moment – due to the great advances in technologies and the contributions of people like the late Steve Jobs, we live our lives in a constant | Read More »
There were several comments last night that led me to this post, including Perry’s comments about the SS Ponzi Scheme, Cain’s comment about God and taxes, and then of course… the undebated topic of the death tax. First of all, Cain was right when he suggested that if God requires 10%, shouldn’t the government be happy with 9%. I think his 9-9-9 plan would be | Read More »
Wanted to jot down a few thoughts immediately following the Reagan Debate tonight. I thought it was a helpful debate, and made a few things clear: 1) Newt Gingrich was the best man onstage tonight, and would likely be on any given night. He is brilliant at getting to the heart of a political issue, and bringing it home ideologically. He would make a great adviser for any | Read More »
Remember back in January, following the attempted murder of Representative Giffords? The President boldly proclaimed: “At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all the ails of the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do, it’s important for us to pause for a | Read More »
There’s been a bit of confusion as to the American Dream lately. And by lately, I mean “over the last several decades.” Through the years, both parties have drifted towards the idea of a democracy, and with that shift they have increasingly catered to the majority. After all, if you want a democracy to succeed, that’s how you do business: via majority. There’s a problem | Read More »
I’m done with all the hopey-changey talk coming from the left. Not that I was ever a fan, but the pick-me-ups and inspirational talks always make an American feel like he’s got the situation under control. Like there’s hope for tomorrow. Like he’ll soon see a brighter day. Oh wait, now I’m doing it, too… The empty rhetoric and promises of a brighter future need | Read More »
My days begin before a classroom of 9th-graders. Every morning, I spend an hour with these young men and women before I head to the office for yet another day of real estate during this time of economic instability and political unrest. The contrast could not be starker. From where I stand in front of my class, I know that we can conquer the world. We | Read More »
