In yet ANOTHER reversal of policy by the Obama Administration, Attorney General Holder has announced he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the CIA interrogators who used tough interrogation techniques to see which of them will be prosecuted.In a word: STUPID.At a time when you would think that Obama would be trying to gain some allies for his policies, he is instead creating more

It has been obvious for some time now that the American people are NOT particularly thrilled with the way the Dem's are running Congress these days.However, they didn't think that they would do anything desperate and take them out of power. "We'll fight through this" they said. Indeed.It would appear now however, that that which they feared the most is about to happen. Many prominent Dem's can

For a while now I have been saying that there was a backlash coming and the recent confrontations at many local "town hall" meetings is evidence of exactly that.However, there has also been an interesting development that many probably didn't see coming. The Democratic backlash against...the Democrats.The left-wing lunatics within the Democratic Party apparently don't want ANY moderation in their

Well by now I'm sure you've all seen the "non-apology" by Obama for smearing the Cambridge Police Department for....doing their job.You have to give it to him. Obama is a master (bulls*** artist) who really knows how to craft his words. I mean after all, do you know anyone who "calibrates" their words? What does that even mean?Anyway, the heart of the matter is this: even though he stepped in it,

It happened so suddenly that most of you probably didn't see it. I noticed it immediately because I have been watching so closely.It's what's known in politics as a momentum shift and a big one is taking place now. Until a few weeks ago Obama was gliding along at a steady pace. He was keeping to his plan and was still acting like "Mr Cool".However, in the last 2-3 weeks he has picked up speed

Everyone has themselves in a tizzy over the secret CIA program that Cheney allegedly hid from Congress. This is much ado about nothing and is turning into a Democrat witchhunt.First of all let's look at some important points:Point 1: This program never went operational.Point 2: The reason why VP Cheney decided to keep it from Congress was most likely to KEEP IT SECRET.Point 3: This is nothing

Even though the Messiah can't bring himself to admit it, he was dead wrong on the economy and now it's starting to show.Instead of admitting that they made a mistake the new spin out of the Obama Administration is "we didn't misread anything, we had incomplete information." That almost sounds like "I tried marijuana, but I didn't inhale." Sure Mr President, we believe you.Apparently the Vice

It didn't take long for the media and just about everyone under the sun to start criticizing Sarah Palin's decision to resign as Alaska Governor.She's a quitter, a coward, a self-serving politician, a screwed up right wing fanatic, etc. Depending on who you listen to she's either "the world's worst person" or she is "a saint".Maybe, she's neither.

Look, I know all of you Republicans out there are sick to death with what is going on with this country. The reason I know this is because I, as a fellow Republican, feel the same.However, I started looking at things a little differently lately and I found that I don't feel so bad about the predicament we are in.Sure, the Dems run the WHOLE GOVERNMENT.

Counting this latest cover with Michelle Obama on the cover, this will be the 21st time that an Obama has graced the cover of Time Magazine. That's right 21 TIMES!!!Given that The President hasn't DONE anything yet isn't it a little premature to make him King? I mean sure he is a handsome, black gentleman with a gift for using teleprompters , I mean giving speeches but what has he accomplished?

Just what exactly has the Kremlin been up to lately? While we here in America have been enthralled with our latest Presidential Election, the Russians have slowly, quietly been traveling the world reaching out to our enemies and allies alike with the sole intent of strengthening their relationships with them. In the last 3+ months Dmitry Medvedev and our boy Vlad "The Mad" Putin have been to Cuba

There is still time to stop it but since the House already passed the huge "Obama Bailout Bill" along party lines, I have no doubt that the Senate will do the same. It was inevitable really. I knew that once Obama got in he would make sure that the Dems were able to exact revenge upon the GOP for all of their past frustrations and he is off to a good start. This $800 billion mess is nothing more

Well that didn't take long. I have been waiting for Obama to do this and he finally did. All throughout the campaign as people would shower him with accolades about being the "chosen one" he would tend to brush them off. After all, he is smart enough to know that eventually that would turn many people against him if he displayed an air of entitlement. However, now that he is in the Oval Office he

So you would think that as much as the Dem's and their allies in the Eco-activist world shout about global warming and saving the planet, when given the chance to demonstrate how serious they are about this cause they would go out of their way to really impress people. Right? Wrong! Instead they showed their true colors as most of us who don't believe in the "global warming" or "climate change"

I keep hearing the media talk about the "torch being passed' to Obama today. Quite frankly, anyone who sees this man for what he truly is knows better than that. The torch isn't being passed as much as it is being snuffed out. No longer will America be the land of opportunity. From here on out we will be the land of opportunity that the Government says you can engage in. If not, no dice. We will

For the past week, the story that has dominated the worldwide news coverage has been the re-newed fighting in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). Israel apparently has had enough of Hamas reigning down rockets and mortars on it's people and has decided that they are going to wipe out Hamas's ability to do so. This however may prove to be a more daunting task than

The big news in the last few days has been about the Iraqi "journalist" who threw his shoes at a President Bush while he was giving a press conference recently on his trip to Baghdad. The man, who I won't dignify by naming him, stood up, and while yelling at The President, took off one shoe and then the other and hurled them one at a time at The President nearly hitting him. He was then quickly (

In what has to be the most disrespectful and dishonest piece of journalism written on this subject to date, Newsweek's "religion writer" Lisa Miller has taken a very hard jab at the religious side of the gay marriage debate. In her piece "The Religious Case for Gay Marriage" she basically tries to argue that The Bible is NOT specific when it comes to the issue and that when religious people use

In the last seven years here in the United States we have been warned from time to time about the possibility of new attacks by al Queda or other terrorist organizations. However, thanks to the commitment from President Bush and the often criticized and ridiculed Department of Homeland Security, we have not been attacked again since 9/11. This is cause for both celebration and for concern. First

As promised, this is the last installment of the End Times series. This time we will deal with one of the most intriguing subjects of the last days time period: The Antichrist. This individual has been immortalized on the silver screen through the "Omen" series and although the story line is very close to the actual biblical account, it is more Hollywood than not. Let's see what The Bible says

This is a continuation of the End Days Series. In this installment we will look at the most controversial subject surrounding the End Times period. It's mainly controversial because even within the Christian community there are opposing views as to how and when it will occur. There is however a consensus that it WILL occur..at some point. I'm talking about The Rapture. This is the moment in which

I interrupt this End Days series for a breaking news flash of global impotence on a grand scale! I apologize for breaking in here but I just HAD to blog on this. I'm talking about the ridiculous international stand-off with the so-called Somali Pirates. First of all I can't even believe that there are world leaders who are actually considering paying the ransom to these idiots. In case you have

As promised, this is Part II of my series on the End Days. This time we will take a look at an event that is promised to be the most earthshaking, wonderful, spectacular event ever witnessed by mankind. Since there have been several spectacular, earthshaking and wonderful events already you can imagine (or maybe you can't) what one would need to be to be called the greatest in all of history! To

This post will be one of a series that I am going to do that will mix modern day events with my beliefs of Christianity and the topic of the "End Days". In order for us to properly examine this topic we will need to rely heavily on what I believe to be God's Word: The Bible. I must first put out the disclaimer that I am a fundamentalist and a literalist. This means that I believe what the

This is a special dedication to two groups of people that I know very well: Veterans and Marines. I would first like to take this chance to say Happy Birthday Marines!!! It all started on November 10th 1775 and has continued to this very day. This year marks 223 years of valiant, dedicated service to the United States and it's people. Ronald Reagan said of the Marines: "Some people spend an

Is that a harsh thing to say? Yes, it is. But guess what folks? It's looking more and more like it might be true. This however, was a bloodless coup. Or at least it is so far. This was also a coup that involved the participation of millions of voters who were duped. What is this coup that I refer to?

Well, I had a feeling this would happen but I must admit I didn't think it would happen so quickly. The "insiders" from the McCain Campaign have begun to join their counter-parts in the MSM to destroy Sarah Palin. Not even 24 hours had elapsed after the defeat of the McCain/Palin ticket that the vicious attacks began to emerge. "She didn't even know that Africa was a continent", "She spent more

Well now that the election is over the gloating has begun and the so-called bipartisan spirit has been thrown to the winds. In less than 48 hours the Dems have simultaneously preached that there will be a new 'spirit of bipartisanship" inside the Government and have taken action to punish one of their own for "crossing the line". Who is in the cross hairs this time? Senator Joe Lieberman of CT.

Well, it's official: Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. I honestly thought that the American people were smarter than that but I was wrong. It obviously doesn't matter that he has misrepresented himself and his associations. So what if he pals around with terrorists. No big deal. So what if he wants to "spread your wealth" America, you don't need it do you? So what if

I am going to make a bold prediction: John McCain is going to win on Tuesday and he is going to win BIG! Are you delusional? No. This is based on facts and conditions that I have seen and experienced while working closely with the McCain Campaign in the last few weeks. I believe there is an impending wave of support from a silent majority out there that will soon have it's voice heard. Let me

On the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912 the RMS Titanic was warned twice about the impending danger of the icebergs that lay ahead in it's path. Both the Amerika and the Mesaba relayed to the radiomen aboard the goliath vessel that there was danger ahead and they should tread lightly through the night. However, because of the fact that they were part of the crew of the largest ship that was ever

No, this is not the TV show but rather a look into the future as to what America would look like under a President Obama. I am only going to use his proposals as outlined to demonstrate how radical this man will be.First, he will destroy the economy. By raising capital gains tax he'll cause people to move their investments out of the stock market. By raising the corporate tax he'll cause American

I am writing this post somewhat bewildered as I sit and watch Obama surging in the polls. I can't figure out how people can be so duped by this "empty suit". He has no executive experience and from the time that he was elected as a U.S. Senator until the time he started running for President was approximately 143 days. That's less than 6 months of experience in Washington, D.C. Now I'm not saying

For the last 2 weeks I have been, like most of you, absolutely astonished at the treatment that Governor Sarah Palin has been receiving in the media and on the blogs. It is apparent now that she was a VERY wise choice for VP. In the 2 weeks since she was chosen I have watched the mainstream media, the leftist blogs and most of Hollywood lose their minds and slander this woman in any way they can.

Just when you all thought that the Obamessiah had arisen to his rightful place and had been coronated as King of....well everything..meet Sarah Palin! In one masterful stroke of political genius John McCain just reinvigorated his base, his party and this race. Never forget that Mr McCain has prior military experience and longevity in the cesspool of Washington, D.C. politics. He understands

Like many of you for the past week or so, I have been watching the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. I do enjoy watching the athletes compete and even find myself cheering for sports that I don't usually watch (i.e. gymnastics, swimming, track and field, etc). However, there is one thing that I have also noticed that many are not talking about: the pride that China has in these games and their

I have already gone on record as saying that I think John McCain will win in the November election and I have not changed my mind. I mean the fact is in most major polls Obama only has a 4-5 point lead. If you add in the margin for error that's a tie! If, as the media claims, things are SOOOOOO bad and the American people are so disgusted with the direction of the country, then why is this race

I just returned from a wonderful boat ride where we anchored in a harbor to watch the Independence Day fireworks display. Just before the show began, for us and for the hundreds of others in boats and on land, the local radio station played one of my favorite songs in order to get everyone in the mood: "Proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood. Not only is it a great song but it also holds a

In the next 6 months I predict that there will be a major strike on Iran with the clear intent of destroying it's nuclear program. I also believe that Israel will be the one that strikes them. They have said time and time again that they will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. With good reason by the way.

Ok, this has gone on long enough. How high do gas prices need to go before we do something about it? Maybe the reason that the members of Congress seem to care so little about this is due to the fact that they DON'T DRIVE ANYMORE! When they are busy in D.C. destroying our government they are whisked around all over town by limousines. They don't care how much gas costs because as long as they are

So, the race for the Democratic Nomination is over. Barak Obama has received the majority of the pledged delegates. It would appear that Hillary's historic run for The Presidency is over. Or is it? As someone who has read and studied quite a bit about The Clinton's I'm not so sure this thing is settled. Sure, Barak has claimed the "presumptive" nomination and as of yesterday Hillary endorsed him,

I believe that we are very close to the end of the West's domination in the world and if you pay attention you'll see that the balance of power is shifting back to Europe. In many ways The West has already lost influence on the world stage and I think in the next 10 years it will be relegated to Third World Status. Why do I say this? Let's look at some examples. First, let's look at the monetary

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in ourselves and our lives that we forget to just be thankful for what we have. It's easy in this day and age to get caught up in politics or "global warming" or the high gas prices and the list goes on but when we stop and think about it, for most of us anyway, life is very good.

No. This will be similar but it will take place in the world of Presidential Politics. You see the earthquake that's coming is the split within the Democratic Party.

The Bible says in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 24 verse 12: And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. That is the answer that Jesus gave to His disciples when they asked him this question in Matthew Chapter 24 verse 3: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Did you catch that? They were asking Him what

I am going out on a limb here to predict who I think will be the next President of the United States. After careful consideration I believe that John McCain will win The Presidency and by a wide margin also; 60/40. Now let me explain why I think this will happen. First, I believe that the nominee for the Democratic Party will be Barak Obama. Regardless of the fact that Hillary Clinton just won

That's right, green is now gold. What do I mean by this? Simple, the catchphrase "Go Green" has finally caught on and now it has become a "golden" marketing opportunity.

There is a new trend in the world and one that I find quite alarming and shameful. That is this new phenomenon of former US Presidents as "good will" ambassadors. Now I understand that they are important public figures and they should serve a purpose in the ongoing dialogue of our country. However, what I DO NOT agree with is when they take it upon themselves to visit other countries and feel the

You may have read about this story over the weekend but it really made me furious so I decided to write about it. A teenager in Texas was suspended for "violating the cell phone policy" of his school. Now let me just say that I am a big proponent of the no cell phones in class policy. Kids are there to learn not to talk with or text their friends. They can do that during lunch or after school.

What never ceases to amaze me is the lengths that people will go to in order to be famous. Case in point is this brutal beating of a young 16 yr old cheerleader by some of her fellow classmates here in Florida. I'm sure you've read about it by now because it has been all over the planet in the last 72 hours. What amazes me is the fact that it now appears that the whole thing was set up in such a

The world lost a big one today: Charlton Heston. You know, Moses!! That iconic figure from the Old Testament that led God's people out of Egypt; the Great Exodus. He wasn't really Moses of course but when I think of Charlton Heston I think of that great epic movie: The Ten Commandments so to me he will always be Moses. At the age of 84 he passed from this world into the next. There aren't many

I know what some of you are thinking "Don't go there; not a good idea" right? Well the fact is I NEED to go there because I am tired of this subject and the absolute evil that has been done it it's name. As you know from my profile, I am a Christian. Because of this I happen to believe that The Bible is the inspired Word of God and because it is, it is infallible. Let me say that in simpler terms

I was thinking about how fragile life really is and how things can turn upside down in just a matter of minutes. Have you ever watched the news and heard about someone that was just going through their day and then "BAM" something happens that completely changes the rest of their life. I sometimes wonder why that person ended up in that position in the first place. Was it the result of bad

Kids really have it tough these days. When I was growing up there were certain people that you could depend on that would be there to provide a great example of what it meant to be an adult; a role model if you will. However, times have changed and not for the better I'm afraid. The people in the community that you could depend on as role models for your kids are no longer providing those great

According to the Vatican Islam is now the largest world religion. Catholicism used to be with 17.4% of the world's population but now Islam can claim 19.2% of the world's population. Now as far as statistics go this is somewhat mundane. Why should I care you say? Well I'll tell you why. Islam is the ONLY religion on the planet that states that if someone REFUSES to be converted then they MUST

Some of my friends and I were hanging out the other night when suddenly the conversation turned in a completely unexpected direction. We started to talk about being a father and of course our kids. Now to set the stage I can tell you that I have 2 teen aged daughters while one friend has 2 year old twins and the other is a father-to-be. So as you can see we are all in different stages of

Ok, so I have a question for everyone: Do you remember what your life was like BEFORE there was an Internet? I mean in the short time of it's existence (about 16 yrs) it has literally changed the way we do just about everything. You name it and the Internet has affected it in some way, shape or form. Think about it: business, pleasure, education, interaction with others, politics, the media,

I was thinking about something the other day and I'm not sure how many other folks have grasped a hold of this yet but I think it could have major world-wide repercussions in the future. Has anyone noticed how many countries in the world have recently had a change in leadership? Just to name a few: England, Russia, Cuba, France, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Australia and the list goes on. Not to mention

Well, I finally did it. I started my own blog! I have been thinking about doing it for some time but I just never got around to it. Well, in the spirit of Carpe Diem...I finally did it. It makes sense for me since I love to spend time on the Internet and I also love to talk with, debate, converse, whatever you want to call it..with others over the Internet. I have to admit I have long thought of
