Have you noticed lately all the news and talk shows that are showcasing families who are hurting because of the decline of the stock market? I'm not talking about those who honestly have situations outside of their control. I'm speaking mainly about those who have no one to blame but themselves for not being prepared. It's time to fess up and pay up for the excessiveness that has raged out of control. It makes me shake my head. What are they tryin...
For those who remember my McDonald's Boycott article. Here's the latest as of today, from the AFA: Mississippi-based AFA called for the boycott in May after the fast food giant joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. McDonald's has notified the pro-homosexual organization that McDonald's vice president Richard Ellis resigned from the board of directors of NGLCC and his seat on the board will not be replaced. In a press release on Thu...
From time to time we read of some really ridiculous lawsuits. Here's one that got me to shaking my very dark brown mane of hair. In the state of Conneticut a very blonde woman sued L'Oreal for a bad coloring job. She accidentally colored her own hair with a brown color she bought herself instead of a blonde shade closer to her natural color. She's claiming it has now ruined her social life. She said she can never return to her original blonde hue and...
A leading critic of Islam isn't surprised there has been virtually no coverage or action taken against a Muslim group that has been running an illegal "get out the vote" campaign in swing-state mosques. The group, Muslim Americans for Obama [MAFO], insists that all of its voter registration activity is non-partisan, despite the fact that its mission statement says it was launched in August 2008 "to provide a vehicle for Muslim-American supporters of Barack Obama to organize and mobilize...
This financial crisis we are experiencing didn't just happen overnight and it's not going to be gone anytime soon. Let's go back to September 1999 and read a piece from the NY Times for the rest of the story. This is where it all started. Read this carefully. The emphasis is all mine. Everyone is forgetting that Franklin Raines was going to be in charge of Obama's VP selection committee. Hello? What does that tell you? Anyhow here's the a...
This is ridiculous. This is the latest attack on Palin. When will this stop? Are they trying to drive her crazy? Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate. "This is a shocking invasion of the governor's privacy and a ...
I'm wondering how the latest financial news from Wall Street is going to affect all of us in the long run. I wonder if my kids will be able to get loans for new homes or will it now take an act of congress to be that first time home buyer. Obviously the financial institutions made some very bad decisions which is going to affect us all. We saw this coming especially being in the accounting business and knew it was only a matter of time. I reme...
Oprah is in trouble again. I first heard about this story when Anthony R put up a link on my blog "Liberals Make My Head Hurt." In the link a radio show caller read a letter aloud that she had written to Oprah expressing disappointment in the fact that Palin was not going to be allowed on her show. This woman had a severely disabled 24 year old daughter and was looking towards Palin as a role model for all mothers of disadvantaged children. ...
Yep. But it's not Sarah, it's her 17 year old daughter. What problems will this bring? Will this hurt the GOP? Did McCain know this ahead of time? Lots of unanswered questions right now. Will people be sympathetic or condeming? Will people understand knowing this happens to the best of families or will they be wagging their fingers condemning her and her family for this unplanned pregnancy. Time will tell.
Lately on a few blog sites including my own I've quoted Ronald Reagan and his opinion about the abortion issue. He said we should err on the side of life basically. We don't bury a dead person unless we know for sure he's dead, so why kill the unborn when we question when life begins? Shouldn't we be absolutely sure before we pick up that knife? Here's a story that kind of blends the two thoughts, abortion and death together. Anyhow did you hear the latest com...
I went to Chick-fil-A recently for really the first time. The food was actually pretty good. I got a grilled Chicken Sandwich and some fresh squeezed lemonade and thought it was quite yummy. Definitely one of my new favorite fast food places up there with Subway, the best. Anyhow read this in the news today and wondered how many of us would have been this forgiving? I'm sure the parents were grateful. I wonder if these girls appreciate what was don...
I believe that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against the darkness, principalities and spiritual powers who use humans to accomplish their plans. I believe there is a battle going on between the light and the dark and as a Christian I am to be prepared for this battle called life. I see and hear these battles daily as they are all around us. Here is just an example of something that happened Friday. STATE College, Pennsylvania - A man w...
Government speech? Individual speech? I guess now there is a difference according to the Supreme Court in their latest ruling. I just thought the government was made up of individuals. The City Council in Fredricksburg, VA adopted a policy in 2005 prohibiting the use of Jesus' name being lifted up in prayer. The council opens their sessions in prayer asking those who are invited to do so to refrain from using the name of Christ in these prayers.&n...
What is going on? Why the big push? Is it any wonder people are so tired of this? Here's the latest in So. Carolina. The majority of South Carolina residents are upset over an advertising campaign to attract homosexual tourists. The ad campaign was run in London for several cities. South Carolina was the only state with a role, and their ad said "South Carolina is so gay." Oran Smith of the Palmetto Family Council notes those who heard t...
I heard about this boycott last week. It's a boycott against McDonald's for supporting same sex marriage for throwing their money and support to the homosexual activists. Many feel that McDonald's is abandoning those who helped make McDonald's the successful company it is namely familes with children. I don't like McDonald's anyhow, so it doesn't really affect me. I'd much rather go to Subway, BK, or Wendy's anyhow. I didn't even ...
