Happy Mother’s Day!  Today we celebrate moms and all they mean and do for us.  The history of Mother’s Day can be traced back to ancient Greece when people honored Rhea, the Mother of the Gods in the spring.  As time went by Mother’s Day evolved into a Christian holiday that celebrated Mary, the mother of Christ.  Below is the history of how we came to celebrate Moms in America. During the 1600′s, the early Christians in England celebrated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. By a religious order the holiday was later expanded in its scope to include all mothers, and named as the Mothering Sunday. Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter), “Mothering Sunday” honored the mothers of … Read entire article »

Well I’m back from my hiatus and it did a world of good.  On my off time from the conference I attended I caught up on my reading and listened to conservative talk radio.  With the exception of talking to Matt Ross from Conservative Hideout one night, I pretty much unplugged from blogging for the week.  I stayed in tune with the weekly news events like Obama’s creepy campaign story of the life of Julia and the UN announcing we should give the land stolen from Native Americans back.  I also noticed that the occupy socialists/communists are no longer hiding their intentions.  I watched Sean Hannity’s interview with the misguided anarchist that supposedly represents the occupy movement.  The man couldn’t even string together one coherent thought; it was a classic … Read entire article »

My work is taking me out of the area for a week so I’m going to take a time out from writing.  Truth be told I think I need a time out to collect my thoughts.  Each day our constitution is under constant assault from both the left and the right.  I’m beginning to understand why many on the right see the left as tyrants and many on the left see the right as tyrants,  Both political parties ignore the constitution when they see an opportunity to advance their agenda.  The State Department made the claim earlier in the week that the “War on Terrorism” is over.  Well if this is the case then all the legislation and acts that were enacted to combat terrorism can now be repealed and … Read entire article »

It’s Easter weekend so I decided to run our weekly Round at the LINKs today.  It’s been a very busy week in the news as usual.  What can I say with this President the hits just keep coming.  The week started with the President once again overstepping his constitutional authority by trying to intimidate the SCOTUS; using words like unprecedented and judicial activism if the SCOTUS finds that Obamacare is unconstitutional.  By Tuesday he found himself in hot water when the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals demanded that he explain what he meant by his statements. So Eric Holder had to step it back for the President and on Thursday informed the 5th that YES the courts DO have the authority to strike down laws that violate the constitution.  … Read entire article »

We all know that our justice system is not perfect.  There are times when it doesn’t always seem like justice is blind.  However we are a nation of laws and the law is for the most part applied equally across the board.  There are methods and processes that must be adhered to in order to ensure the integrity of our system.  We are not a nation that should ever accept a mob rule mentality.  We cannot go back to the days of the old west when mobs stormed the jailhouses with torches in hand to pull out the accused and dispense their own brand of justice.  When the rule of law no longer matters, anarchy will soon follow.  We cannot exist as a nation with a mob rule mentality, … Read entire article »

Last week President Obama blamed everyone and everything for high gas prices.  He traveled to Oklahoma with his side show and smoke and mirrors and proudly proclaimed that he would direct his administration to cut through the red tape to fast track a pipeline that was already approved and on the fast track to be built.  So he blames everyone and everything around him except his own administration’s bad policies for the high gas prices and then turns around and tries to take credit for something he had nothing to do with.  I’ve worked with people like this in the past.  Whenever things go south or something happens that makes them look bad, they deflect the blame and point the finger at someone else.  These are people who care more … Read entire article »
