Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew...

I Am an American! I was born an American. Unlike my grandparents, I was born in the greatest nation in the history of the world. Being born here didn't make me a real American. That took time. I became an American, slowly and decisively over my entire life. I learned to be an American, through experiences, and knowledge, and witness. I remember moments in my life that brought me to the realization that being born here, in America, is one of the the greatest blessing I had been given. As a young boy, I watched as my 92 year old...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, and GOD BLESS AMERICAIT'S NOT JUST THE 4th OF JULY, IT IS OUR DAY OF INDEPENDENCEAs Americans, today we set aside the trivialities of everyday life to remember why we enjoy what few in the history of the world have ever experienced, a totally Free Country.. But for the courage of a few, who bravely, at the sacrifice of all they possessed, laid down a marker that the world had never seen, ALL OR NOTHING, FOR FREEDOM..Without their tenacity, and vision, we would be under the boot of some tyrant, struggling to survive at their whim.. Instead...

MY BUCKET LIST Then I went way back into my memory and brought back stuff I hadn't thought about in years.. That was fun, my older memories are fresher than the new stuff, like did I just take the pill I have to take at..what was the time I was..?? Now, I have plenty of new stories that I recall, that I can share with my kids and grandkids, because it's like bedtime stories, because they still go to sleep shortly after I start them, the little darlings.. Getting back to my BUCKET LIST, I do remember having a special...

SOUP, SEX, SALAD, or SUDSMEN MYTHS. Setting the record straight!What is it about men that seem to bug everyone in today's society? Everywhere you turn it appears that Guys are the butt of every cliché imaginable. Show me a commercial that depicts a man in a favorable light, when pitted up against women, or even his children, you can't and that is just wrong. What have we done to be so maligned in today’s culture?I think it’s time to correct the record, at least where I can add my extensive knowledge and expertise. Let us start with some of the...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, remembering Mom... Could it have really been 35 years since I kissed my Mom good night? How could that be, it seems like only yesterday? Her memory is still fresh, her wonderful smile is vivid in my mind. I can still feel the tenderness of her kiss on my cheek, and I can recall everything she whispered to me as I held her close... Could it have been so long ago... I still remember you Mom... each and every time I say good night to the kids on a holiday... I kiss them once more just for you... I...

ANATOMY OF A DOWNFALL COVERING THE COVER-UP, with CORRUPTION = CRIMINALITY "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." ~ Abraham Lincoln, Winning at all cost is what life or politics is all about, but there is no free lunch, and the cost of cheap politics, or junk bonds, little white lies, often costs more than they bargained for.. History is replete with the irony of reducing an entire body of evidence, a full lifetime...

ARE HISPANICS NATURAL DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS? OR SHOULD WE ASK, ARE HISPANICS MORE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE? I report, you decide.. Broadly speaking, the Hispanic society, regardless of nationality; have strong family values, deeply held religious beliefs, a rigorous work ethic,strong community commitment,fun loving,traditionalist by culture,socially charitable,strong gender identities.. In the most generous interpretation, which political identity better fits the natural characteristics of the Hispanic community? I believe if you ask the average Hispanic, legal or illegally in our country, the following questions, the answers would be astonishingly different than the average American would attribute to the media's interpretation of...

When I went to bed last evening, I was just as I have always been, as I am sure everyone else is, clueless as to what is the true “Secret Of Success”.. OK, I know.. I understand your reluctance in accepting my claim as authentic, however, this is the best I can do until I fill you in on the facts.. In what can only be described as an...

I FINALLY BELIEVE, IT IS THE WOMAN’S SOLE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.. For me, it came down to a matter of nature, and fairness. I thought it through, and in doing so, I made sure that I really thought it all the way through.. After all of my many years of standing on the sidelines and observing, as was what I have been instructed to do, as a man, I have concluded that it should be the ultimate decision of the woman to decide whether she should be a mother.. In balancing, deliberating, and reasoning, there was but one undeniable truth,...

I’M AN AMERICAN, A REAGAN REPUBLICAN.. Yep.. TO MY BONES! This is what it means to me! I believe our Government has become the problem, not the Solution to anything except those vitally important issues clearly outlined in our Founding Documents, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and OUR BILL OF RIGHTS.. Those originating documents have withstood the test of time, with the self-correcting tools within to adapt to the changing times, social norms, global influences, and technology, while maintaining the simple truths so clearly outlined in its Preamble; “We the People of the United States, in Order...

THE LIBERAL HOLLYWOOD SCANDAL, EXPOSED BY OBAMACARE. For decades the Hollywood elite have denied the existence of a Media Socialist Cabal, established for, and protected by the equally corrupted, national media outlets, and the highest levels of the Democrat Party. The target of this effort is to promote, shape and influence public opinion on a host of Progressive causes, the latest of which is the takeover of Healthcare Industry, 16% of the national economy, and the long sought prize of the Marxist, Leninist, Communist, Globalist Agenda.. The plan, outlined in its entirety, in the Communist Manifesto, is always the same,...

I am so sorry to take up space with such a stupid question, but my grandkids used my laptop, and computer over the Hollidays and must have picked up some tragic viruses on both of my computers..

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.. NATIONAL EMERGENCY!.. NUCLEAR LIBERALISM.. EMINENT With the economy at a DEFCON 3 STATUS, neither our elected Representatives, nor the American electorate, appear to be justifiably ALARMED, or unaware, unprepared, or just unwilling, to pull us back from the brink.. I, as an adult, and a patriot, refuse to believe any intelligent citizen, would willingly allow our National decline without at least an effort to recover.. No matter the cause, or the origin of the problems, which are no longer debatable, the evidence is overwhelming that our Nation is in dire straits, and heading for a cliff.. One...

I know many on this site will look at this and think it is one more crackpot talking nonsense.. That may not be entirely wrong, but I am not a crackpot, and my attitude is shared by too many intelligent folks that are entirely fed-up with the direction we are going.. Texas is suffering from our own success.. We are attracting the disaffected millions, from failed governments around the country, to our state because of our business friendly atmosphere, low taxation, low costs, great weather, and great opportunities.. All of that would be fine, if the newcomers would leave their...
