When I went to pick up my mail today, I was sure glad to see a trash can within reach. I hate bringing junk mail home with me. It just doesn't seem right that I'm forced to, in some cases, pay for mail I didn't solicit or want in the least. Today I had quite a handful. Then I get home and read the paper to see that our looking-out-for-our-best-interest-lawmakers are spending our money sending us junkmail. This is to the tune of $20.3 million dollars a year. They call it governmen...

I heard on the news this morning, as I was getting ready for church, that Huckabee is now in the lead. Let the fun begin. Wha-hoo!!!! I knew he'd come through!!! Too early to celebrate yet, but he's coming from behind. I love underdogs!!! Now I'm starting to wonder if it might not be Huckabee against Obama in the final dance? I've gone on record way back now saying Huckabee against Hillary but it looks like Obama could nip Hillary in the end. I've given up on Rudy and the ...

I just found out that Mike Huckabee is going to be at my son's school tomorrow. Shoot..... I hope David sees this. I didn't know ahead of time to tell him. He is going to be the convocation speaker. There is going to be a Q & A following. Three times a week they have a convo speaker at Liberty. Alot of times they are well known speakers from all walks. Well usually they are conservatives or Christians but they run the gamit as far as vocation goes. When Jerry was alive I believ...

Well here you go for those who didn't see this op-ed in the NY Times. It's the beginning of organizing the evangelical vote at a meeting in Salt Lake City. The purpose was to discuss what would happen if Giuliani or another GOP candidate who doesn't represent them is elected to be the nominee. It was titled "The Values Test." by James C. Dobson, Ph.D., founder and chairman Dr. Dobson says winning an election is important, but not at the expense of our core beliefs. Reports ...

I've already gone on record to say I believe possibly the presidential election could come down to Huckabee vs Hillary. Of course we still have a ways to go and time will surely tell. I think he's the GOP's only hopeful. My opinion. At the Values Voter Summit in Washington DC a week or so ago Huckabee came out strong and was received as such. His speech was interrupted at least 20 times with applause and had at least a dozen or so standing ovations. He also won, by a large margi...

With a year left to think about the presidential election, I'm at this point zeroing in on Huckabee. Actually I think I've pretty much decided. I think President Huckabee has a nice ring to it. My number one criteria for President is integrity and he qualifies. He was the candidate who won hands down the Values Voter Presidential Debate in September. So many others feel the same about his fine character. He's a pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-borders, less government, strongly against ...

"There are three kinds of pollution today: real, hysterical, and political ." Ain't that the truth! Lately political seems to be the thickest! The question is, how in the world do we clean it up? ""

Speaking in December 2006 at a Holocaust memorial ceremony in Berlin, Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: "We have learned and memorialized the lesson; the weak and defenseless are doomed. Doomed are they who do not believe those who threaten to eradicate them. Doomed are they who remain complacent and do not prepare themselves to thwart the danger. Doomed are they who entertain the false illusion that they could escape harm and that they could rely on the mercy of strangers ." ...

Many are buzzing about Hillary and have been for quite some time. She's the darling of the Dems and could easily be their best shot for the next election. I hear alot of support for her from those on the left but I'm puzzled. I mean I am actually really wondering what has she done in the six years or so that's she's been a NY Senator? Is she like Paris Hilton, famous for being famous or is she legit? Does she have something that makes her honestly stand out from the others besides be...

Well Obama's gone and done it. He's ticked off the Evangelicals by going back on his committment not to be divisive. He has taken the low road in demeaning and mocking the faith of Conservative Christians. This is something he promised he wouldn't do. This weekend he spoke at the national meeting of the very liberal United Church of Christ. He said the "Christian Right" has exploited its stance on several hot-button issues to attack the Democratic Party. He said "Faith got hijac...

Now, I think I've heard just about everything. Did you know there's a law still on the NH books that says: On Sundays citizens may not relieve themselves while looking up. I guess it's irreverant to do so. How in the world do they enforce this one....especially since there's no outhouses anymore to peek into? Did the elders or deacons enforce this back then by watching carefully so this didn't happen? What about the other days of the week? It was ok then? You can check your...

A Republican Friend sent me this and I thought I'd pass it along. I loved it. I've heard it said many times, "if you're not a Democrat when you're young you have no heart and if you're not a Republican when you're old, you have no brain." A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father...

I was watching the news last night and I couldn't help but be disgusted with the State of Maine. I know they are one of the highest (if not the highest) taxed states in the country. It's not unusual for taxpayers to be getting a refund from the Federal only to pay big to the State. It's usually a sure thing. Many businesses have pulled out for just that reason. It's hard to be a business owner with the State looking over your shoulder squeezing every penny they can out of you. Here's ...

Another piece of disturbing news. I was at work yesterday when my boss, who is also my politcal advisor since he knows so much about it and keeps me informed on the latest, told me something that really bugged me. He and his wife took their 13 year old daughter to the doctor's for a regular checkup for sports. The doctor asked them to leave the room. They said they would prefer not to but the doctor insisted. So they did. They trust this doctor completely and left the room. Wh...

I'd love to give credit where credit is due. I found this among my "stuff" this weekend and thought I'd share. It's really not funny and actually made me mad when I read this.
