The New AmericanThis has been going around in my head for at least a week now, and I finally worked on it enough to share. Those who have even a passing familiarity with music lyrics will have quickly detected the title’s parody of Roberta Flack’s classic “Killing Me Softly”. That song has since been remade by...
Senate Majority Leader Reid could wrap up as early as today a merger of two committee-passed healthcare overhaul bills and submit the combined measure to CBO, despite indications Democrats remain short of the 60 votes needed to pass the measure. The bill would include a public option but allow states to opt out. Reid...
Posted today from my good friends at “The Patriot Post “ “At the heart of the American idea is the deep distrust and suspicion the founders of our nation had for government, distrust and suspicion not shared as much by today’s Americans. Some of the founders’ distrust is seen in our Constitution’s language such...
July 7, 2009 Dr. Paul L. Williams “In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, ” Michelle Obama...

“ You Could Be A Redneck If “There is a restraining order on your pets.” From Jeff Foxworthy
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. —2 Timothy 4:7 Many people living in their twilight years suddenly realize how empty and pointless their lives have been. They’ve made some successful business deals and had some fun, but in terms of satisfying friendships or lasting...
The following letter was sent to the Jackson Sun yesterday. I don’t know “David K. Johnson” of “Jackson.” But his letter titled “Tanner represents his district with fairness” in the Sun was such a flagrant example of propagandist penmanship that it couldn’t have been better had it originated with Mr. Tanner’s own professional, in-office...
I originally published this column back in January of 2005. Since then (and especially lately), many people have called and written with requests to republish it. So, with a few minor revisions, here it is. More than thirty years as a student of American history, constitutional government, and the Holy Bible leads me to...
According to a Blog by Matt Collins Senator Corker has introduced a bill to audit the Federal Reserve. “At first glance this might seem like a step in the right direction, except that he is behind the curve because there is already a bill in the US Senate to audit the Federal Reserve. It’s...
From Ron Sanchez H-1B legislation has been quiet for awhile, but it looks like that is going to change. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) introduced legislation to Congress that would double the H-1B cap, and in some circumstances triple it. The way it would work is that the yearly cap of 65,000 would be raised...
The American Family Association is reporting that even the Associated Press admits, the government takeover of health care will, despite what the president has told you, involve the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions. The AP says flatly, “The proposed legislation would permit government-sponsored health plans, open to non-Medicaid patients, to cover...
From Larry Becraft Here’s a quote from the Federal agency that runs the Natn’l Weather Service. Go to the link below to see the web page. Doesn’t this look pretty newsworthy? Have you seen it in the mainstream media? I haven’t. Problem is that it does not fit the party line of the global...
On occassion, there is reason for concern and reason for jubulationwhen we read the comments of politicians defending the existing form of government or even the founding doucuments of a city or state or federal government. In an article published in TheCityPaper Sunday Jerry L. Maynard II announced his defense of the the current Metro...
Suspend whatever opinion you have about our alleged president for a few minutes. In spite of whatever you know or think about the man, he is merely the latest in a long line of puppets helping bring about the destruction of this country. Henry Kissinger, perhaps the most dangerous man in the world with...
Back on June 5, 2009, President Barack Obama’s communications director Anita Dunn told a high school class that her Favorite philosopher is Mao Tse-Tung. Listen very carefully and what do you hear. Basically she is saying that the left doesn’t have to fight the battle that the other side has to fight because the...
This was sent to me by the son of a dear late friend, and as much email as I get (much of which is certainly worth forwarding), I consider this an urgent message. If you really love this country, now would be a good time to prove it. P.S. The video is about four minutes –...
I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, And all the patients were shouting, ’13….13….13.’ The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a Little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see What was going on….. Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick!...
I read somewhere that hard work is a sign of a willingness to be responsible. So typically people who are getting things done are usually getting them done for others as well a themselves. In an interview with the Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Jackson, I described myself as a man that picks up sticks. That...
Son, your sins are forgiven you. . . . Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. — Mark 2:5,11 A social worker told her colleagues about a young boy in an urban ghetto who appeared to be little more than a bit of twisted human flesh. He had been struck by...
I just sent this to Orly (9:15 pm PST). Also, I talked with her on the phone, and told her about all the kudos coming in from all over, and what a great job she did in her interview on CNN Headline News with Joy Behar this evening. (see YouTube link below) I told...
If you are interested, Philmont 2009 surplus trail meals are available for sale. Some may ask what is a trail meal? Well sometime during World War II freeze-dried foods began to appear on store shelves. An example would be instant coffee or hot chocolate. Heat up some water and mix together the powder or...
I have been told that this might be the procedure for the passing of the proposed Health Care Law through the House of Representatives. This so reminds me of the Mayor’s position on the council at times. An Insult to Our Democracy
Before I launch into my message on the subject titled book, I want to mention something I meant to share in my Sunday school class a while back, but forgot. One of the doctors who saw my granddaughter in Texas for her health conditions last week had the integrity to admit to my older...
This “Sam” said to be our “uncle” is not our dad, but neither is he our uncle. He’s a neat piece of propaganda created by a government of an entity that is not our “country” but, rather, an organization or alliance or league or club in which our Country, now by military force as...
I received a *2010 Congressional District Survey from the RNC. I was about to toss it thru the shredder and then though I would answer it – MY WAY. I am also going to send this to the state GOP so they are sure to get my message. Dear GOP, Why would I want...

Churches have become a reflection of our corrupt governments, organizations, & corporations. The bottom-line is all that matters. To hell with struggling taxpaying citizens, as well as morals, ethics, sovereignty, our standard of living, our rule of law, the Constitution and our Founding principles and stock. Many have become nothing more than an extension...
Rep. John Shadegg has been trying to get a bill enacted for 15 years that would simply require legislators to cite the constitutional authority for any legislation that is proposed. His bill is called the Enumerated Powers Act (HR450). It now has 52 co-sponsors, but there is very little chance that it will ever...

I have tried to come up with an explanation for the actions of some that are opposed to my approach to smaller government involvement in our lives and it has been a real challege. Even among the conservative crowd there is that tendency to spend a certain amount of political cash (your money) to provide leverage that might help install a political point...
Some differences between conservatives and liberals…so simple but very accurate. If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one. If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat. If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for...
Why do we not have a Godly person in the final three to choose as our king to rule over us? 1. Could man be manipulating the voting machines? Yes. It is possible. We cannot and should not be so trusting to think that man’s heart is not wicked enough to do this. The...
