In doing some research the other day I came upon the following passage written in the private journals of Albert Einstein sometime in the mid 1930's. From what I've read this was written shortly before many like him left Europe before the onset of the war. This emigration was known as the "brain drain." He knew about the impending danger in Germany. Take a listen to what he had to say back then. I think you'll find it very informative especially in lieu of where we ...
I'm an avid newspaper reader. First thing every morning I've got to read my paper with my cup of tea. Yes, I know they usually have a liberal slant to them but I can't help myself. Today I was reading about the "anti-abortionists" being upset about the recent murder of the abortion doctor. Why can't they say pro-life? Would it kill them? It makes me mad when I see such a leftist slant like that. I get great satisfaction knowing my son, who is a ver...
What comes to your mind? "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...it takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
I couldn't believe my eyes and my ears the other night. It was about 6 pm three days ago. My husband and I set out for our usual six miler. We needed to get this run over with fairly quickly because an impending storm was headed our way. It was a nice early evening despite the threatening skies. It was humid and warm but not overbearing and we were having a nice run keeping watch which way the clouds were heading. We were just ahead of the storm it was l...
I recently came across an old article that fell out of one of my books. It was originally printed in Time magazine entitled "The Case for Teaching the Bible." The question asked was should the Holy Book be taught in school? According to the writer's opinion he said yes and made quite a good case for it. He said it's the bedrock of Western culture and can be constitutional as long as we teach it but don't preach it. Hmmmm. Ok. But I do bel...
I'd love to give credit to whom credit is due.....sent to me by a friend. Couldn't say it better myself: This is difficult for me to admit but, admit it I have to: My liberal friends were right. They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point ...
We bought a new car. It was very stressful. I kind of knew but found out firsthand that my husband would rather have a knee operation than buy a new car. He absolutely hates shopping period even for a new car. It's a very painful experience for him and you could see this clearly as it was written all over his face. He doesn't like to bargain and he's not good at it. But it was time, and after dragging his feet he agreed reluctantly to go look. My trusty old...
I'm not surprised, but am disappointed. The President of our nation has just canceled the National Day of Prayer's observance in the White House. This National Day of Prayer has been observed every single year since 1952, when Harry Truman first introduced it. It has been commemorated by every single President until now. Why now? Is this part of the big change? Is this a good thing? I believe more than ever that we n...
We seem to live in a world of increasing panic and sensationalism. It's a tool of the media to herd us into a mode of fear and panic in order to get the masses to do whatever it is they want. Fear and despair is the name of the game and it seems especially so with this current administration. Have you noticed? The latest, of course, is the Swine Flu Pandemic. I can just see new vaccines cropping up that we will be forced upon the public or our kids won't be able ...
Gah! Why didn't I check before making my decision first? I should have known. Liberty always has great speakers. I could kick myself now.....*Kick* there I did. Still don't feel much better. Next Saturday is graduation day at LU and I could have been there sitting near the front. Turns out I'm going to be there anyway but not until early evening and by then graduation is over. I finished my two year course I was taking for LU in February. ...
I'm absolutely shocked that we haven't had a revolution by now. But I think what we have here is the whole boiling frog theory. We didn't see this happening at first and now we're cooked. And the new laws and taxes just keep on coming with no end in sight. Sent to me by a friend: This may seem funny at first, but by the end, you'll realize the awful truth of our taxation system and what big government is costing us.

First Abraham Lincoln said this: We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were prod...
There's a lesson in here somewhere. Loose lips sink ships? It's better to keep your mouth shut and let others think you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt? Don't let the cat out of the bag? Put up or shut up? Or how about.....say what you mean and mean what you say? Anyway, you'd think with the way the world is sinking fast and furious there would be alot less talk and a lot more action. Nope. *Sigh* b...
I don't get Fox News on my cable plan but am hoping to change that soon. So I miss all the good stuff when it first comes out. I don't trust the liberal media although it's all I mainly watch for lack of anything better. I take it with a grain of salt. I know it's truth mixed with a very strong dose of bias and a dash of downright error. Anyhow a friend sent this along since I didn't see it broadcast. My first thought is Barney Frank and Chuck Schu...
