President Obama's Speech
Posted Monday, September 7, at 8:52 PM For those that will not be able to or allowed to watch President Obama's speech on Tuesday, the following is the full text of his speech. Taken from http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/ Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama...
Voter Fraud in Afghanistan With all the trumpeting and parading and veiled threats about sending troops into Iran when charges of voter fraud began pouring in I thought it only natural that when charges of voter fraud began pouring in from Afghanistan, we would hear the same vocal outrage...
Next week, on September 8, President Obama is going to give a speech about staying in school and making good grades to the school children of this country. Nothing more or less about it, that is going to be his speech. But the Republican Party who is controlled by the far-right fringe of its party, in an ever increasing attempt to create controversy in everything the president does are encouraging parents to keep their kids out of school that day, because they fear that the video is nothing more than an attempt by the president to indoctrinate their kids. ...
"Proud Right-Wing Terrorist" A week ago, today, in California at a town hall meeting, a man by the name of Bert Stead stood and stated that he was a "proud right-wing terrorist". A few years ago, if anyone would have stated anywhere that not only were they a terrorist, but proud of it, they would have been immediately sent to Gitmo and tortured for two to three years and then released back into the general population with no charges. ...
A Former Telemarketer Reveals All For about a three year period I made my living as a telemarketer. As any telemarketer can tell you we are the most despised people on the planet. Lawyers and politicians don't hold a candle to telemarketer. For the most part is a well deserved despised...
Discourse in America The politically middle of this country are surely scratching their heads at the moment. The extreme left and the extreme right have taken over the political environment in this country. A few years ago the extreme right was adamant that anyone who protested against President Bush should be thrown in jail or kicked out of the country. ...
When Giving Becomes Evil A lot of people in this country hate George Soros. That's a given. But the reasons for the hate fall short and usually come back to the fact that he supposedly spent a large amount of his wealth trying to defeat George W. Bush in the 2004 election. Other reasons for the hatred is because he has openly questioned the market system and has said that globalization is causing many of the problems we see around the world...
A Most Disgusting Lie Over the last couple of weeks while most congressmen have been attempting to give us real reform for our health care system, there has been slowly but steady stream of misinformation coming out from other congressmen, news networks, and blogs about what is being offered in the bill...
Since the time of the Louisiana Purchase, Americans far and wide have traveled to the area that makes up Hot Springs for baths in the hot springs in an effort to cure them of any ailing disease that they may have had. In 1832, Congress declared the area Hot Springs Reservation, making it the oldest AND smallest national park in the United States. It is also the only national park surrounded by a city,...
Marriage and Honeymoon On Friday, July 24th, at approximately 1:00 I tied the knot. I married Nicki Murphy. Along with her I get two wonderful sons, Michael and Matthew, a daughter, Ashley, and grandson, Cameron (already the light of my life). Yes at the age of 31 I married into a family and I have no regrets at. I love the family I am and nothing is going to change that...
What A Strange Couple of Weeks It all started a few weeks ago, when it was found that Senator Ensign, the junior Senator from Arizona, had been having an affair with a woman. This woman turned out to be a close personal friend of the Ensigns, and on top of that, she and her husband, worked for Ensign. Shortly before the story broke, Ensign ended the affair and fired both husband and wife, which has prompted an ethics review. This story gets much jucier, but let's move along on the timeline...
The Troubles with (some) Drivers Today I took a family member to the airport (I'll leave out exactly who, as some posters on this site have taken it upon themselves to trash every member of my family, though crying foul at the Sarah Palin mess, but I digress). It is about an hour drive to the airport from where we live and for the most part down there the drive was uneventful...
Outrage Unjustified Before it gets covered by someone who hates education and they spin it to make it look worse that it is, I thought I would cover the story that has recently come out of Portland, Maine between a teacher and his 4th grade class. For weeks Paul Rosenblum had been begged by his students to participate in a mock wedding they wanted to do. He finally decided to get involved in the class's "play" when one of the female students proposed to him...
Happy Birthday America I just wanted to wish everyone a happy fourth of July and hope you all have a great and safe day, no blowing and appendages off. Also, remember what exactly this days mean to you.
Peace to you all.
17 minutes. That was the length of the speech that she gave today in which she announced that in two weeks time she was stepping down as governor of Alaska. Basically, she gave a big ole middle finger, dontchaknow, to the people of Alaska. This is a woman who served less than one term, spending a big chump of 2008 running for vice-president. ...
Hypocrites and Paranoids The extreme right in this nation seems to be going down a deep dark hole and they are blaming just about everyone for their problems. Paranoia is running deep in the extreme right these days, where it seems everyday they prop up a new grand paranoia scheme to try to scare Americans. ...
Something terrifying is attempting to take over our schools in America. Not it's not terrorists. It's people who have no formal training in teaching that think they know what's best for children that are attempting to take over the schools. Here's the dark, dirty secret that they won't admit to. ...
RIP What a long sad week this had been. Well, really it was a horrible day when you think about the icons we lost within hours of each other. First we lost Ed McMahon, who was a television icon, known best as Johny Carson's sidekick on The Tonight Show, but at the time I wasn't old enough to see much of The Tonight Show, so I knew him from Star Search. In his later years he did numerous television spots, including on one of my favorite shows, "Scrubs"...
There has been a movement in America questioning Barack Obama's status as an American. This upswell has caused literally thousands of Americans to claim that Obama is not a legal citizen. They claim he wasn't born in the United States. John McCain wasn't born in the United States, he was born in a protectorate, but that's okay. ...
Last Friday, Iran held an election. What made this election stand out, was that just a few weeks ago it seemed that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was going to walk away with the election. Then an interesting thing happened, President Obama went to Egypt and delivered a speech directed at Muslims in the Middle East. ...
