Source: WHITE HOUSE August 4, 2012 Given the President’s very busy golf / campaigning schedule this summer, the President has naturally de-emphasized the other priorities of the office.  Specifically here, the President wishes to acknowledge the many individuals and interests who have been “acting stupidly”.  The President apologizes for this oversight, and bows to those who have rightfully called him to task.  We have now filled the schedule for the | Read More »

UPDATE 7/4 0937 EDT:  Thanks friends for the well-deserved lash with the wet noodle.  You’re good comrades-at-arms – I let my guard down and whine, and you call me on it!  I’m over this and back into the battle.  While focusing on those below not doing their jobs, I forgot mine.  Mea culpa. Well, I don’t need to replay last Thursday’s disaster at the Supreme Court | Read More »

It’s been a few months since I have been serving on my County Central Committee in California, and some time since my last update.  To quickly catch you up on my story – I got tired of watching my beloved United States turn into something very different than the founders intended.  I wrote letters.  I talked to people.  All my effort had exactly no effect.  | Read More »

Took my wife to see the movie Act of Valor Saturday evening as part of our “date night”.  This movie originally started out as a fifteen-minute recruiting video, and grew into the full-length movie that we saw tonight.  While it celebrates the best of military service and sacrifice for God and country, I think we dishonor our heroes if we leave the story as a celebration of “their” sacrifice, | Read More »

I have a “Big-H” Heart, having as its foundation passions.  I’m drawn to certain things, find my brain going to them unbidden and/or relentlessly.  I have an affinity that doesn’t exist for other things.  When the passage of time is considered, some of these passions wax, some wane.  But it’s definitely not a zero-sum game by any means: there have been times in my life I have had almost no passion, | Read More »

Third in a series of personal accounts by a new “Precinct Committeeman”. The big day came.  On Wednesday February eighth I prepared for my day job as an electrical engineer with an added air of excitement – that night would bring my first meeting as a member of the Placer County Republican Central Committee (PCRCC).  I had some apprehension, as I had not been able to | Read More »

It’s been a week and a half since CA State Senator Ted Gaines extended to me an opportunity for appointment to the Placer County Republican Central Committee (PCRCC).  That day I published my diary “Off to War?*” to share my “Precinct Project” experience with my extended conservative family, and here is an update… After prayer and discussion with my wife, I accepted Senator Gaines’ offer a week ago, and | Read More »

Than be embarrassed.  I’m guessing it’s a pride issue.  I really would rather not have people tell me the politicians I support look like they could audition for the next “Dumb and Dumber”; with the obvious extension that I must be dumber than dirt as well.  I assert from various diaries I’ve read, and positions I’ve seen taken that I’m not alone on Pride Island.  | Read More »

The roller coaster continues.  I was disappointed yesterday to see Governor Rick Perry leave the 2012 presidential race.  In my mind, he was the best candidate we had running, and the only one that gave me any hope of a smaller, more constitutional, less-intrusive  federal government.  Alas, my vision was not to be.  My choices narrow.  I’m not decided on where to go from here | Read More »

Is it really time to ship out?  Did I even get to go to basic training? This is my chance to go fight for what I believe, for the America that seems to have been misplaced gradually over my lifetime, and even before.  2007 and 2008 were the years that I started to really pay attention and do more than vote.  My votes were clearly not enough to make | Read More »

A few weeks ago I finished reading an astonishing book, Heaven is for Real, by Todd Burpo.  I’m now enjoying the experience of reading it to my children, and in the process, get to spend more time enjoying and absorbing the material. It occurred to me lately that this book contains an eyewitness report that life begins in pregnancy before the 8 week mark.  I guess | Read More »

Not. His. Gift.  According to the introduction in a compilation of the Federalist Papers by a Clinton Rossiter, referring to Hamilton’s performance at the Constitutional Convention, “he was irregular in attendance and unpersuasive in argument.”  But the United States of America may well have already failed were it not for his glorious contribution. Likely best known for his status generally as a “Founding Father” or specifically as the | Read More »

It is no wonder to me how bad of shape the country is in, when I see the type of article I came across yesterday.  The mystery then becomes how deep and how wide is God’s grace that we function at all as a nation, rather than a population of slaves to a wiser and stronger people. Though I loathe giving this article a link, | Read More »

There is a war going on, and it’s not Democrats vs. Republicans.  It’s not rich vs. poor.  It’s not black vs. white.  It is between those who think the people can make decisions for themselves, and those who think a ruling class should make these decisions.  All else is deception.     The bottom line is Americans have been lulled to sleep and have failed | Read More »
