Where is the conscience of the American voter and the American politician$ in Politics JoeUser Forums

I am sitting here thinking about what is all about. The United States of America is in the road to choosing a new president. The issues seen to be Mr. Bush lied, he is a dirty good for nothing, the wars are the reason for the economic crisis in America, and a democrat can undo all Mr. Bush did to make America a disaster. If you hold t

High oil profits. in Politics JoeUser Forums

It is my opinion that American oil companies are earning grouse profits. I was doing a simple search on the Internet on oil profits and I found reports of 30 percent in profit growth for oil companies since 2005. One stat was that one oil company made 89 percent profit. Having stated the above do I believe that government at any level shoul

Obama, preparing to violate rights of property owners. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Today, I will write about the importance of "property rights" of the individual in America and how small things can harm you. This is a response to reports of Mr. Obama's comments on "tiny Iran" and about how "we cannot eat what we want, keep our thermostats at 72, and drive our SUV's. First I would like to say that gluttony has its pri

Need to make conservativism look attractive. in Politics JoeUser Forums

I am going to tell you what is wrong with conservatives. You do not speak with a smile in your voice when you speak. People are not war weary. They are tired of angry complainers. I listen to Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'riely, Denis Miller, and Hanity. None of these people speak as if conservative is something good and joyfull. In my

Bush right about policy of appeasement. in Politics JoeUser Forums

In speaking to Israel, the president of the United States was right. Obama, Hillary, and many democrats have espoused the idea that if we just leave the terrorist alone they would leave us alone. Obama, himself wants to sit down and have a heart to heart with a man who calls Israel the "little satan" and the US the "big satan", who must be destroyed. <span style="font-size: medium; font-family: Old E

Why is it so easy for politicians to manipulate people? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Why is it so easy for politicians to manipulate people? When you look at McCain, Hillary, and Obama, you may think that they are not sincere in their rhetoric. I would say that that is a good analysis. One of my biggest problems with the current political situation in American is that insincere people are managing to grasp the at

Obama is dangerous for America in Politics JoeUser Forums

It is important that we do not get carried away by the fever of the mob. When George W. Bush ran for the first time there was a fever of excitement because of the novelty. Getting carried away by the mob may mean a person does not think and make good choices. However, Mr. Bush had actual substance to his

Hillary and Obama simple profile. in Politics JoeUser Forums

I plan to write two simple profiles and then ask a question. Ms. Hillary Clinton is a woman married to a "cheater" who has on occassion defended her husband for sake of politics. In addition, she has no real values and just tows the democrat philosophical line because thats what you do when you are a democrat. Moreover, she has no several occas

Will Republicans hold on to their self-respect in 2008? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

The congressional elections of 2008 in the United States of America have not even been held yet and the conservatives are already giving up the ghost of Republican candidates. I keep hearing how many expect the "demos" to gain seats in the House and the Senate. Some even think the "demos" will have a controlling majority of congress. Well this can happen if no

Search for the right direction. in Life JoeUser Forums

So, I was thinking about the big picture. We know that humanity will continue. In addition, we know that life is now taken over by the "modern industrial complex". We also know that this business plan is causing a lot of angst and economic hardship on people. Moreover, the US of A has for a long time set the path and tempo in the world. <span style="font-size: small; font-family: Mo

Bush in Politics JoeUser Forums

The president did not misspeak. When he was on the naval ship in front of banner 'Mission Accomplished", the president was right. Sadam had been removed from power and the Iraqi Army had given up the fight. The mission was to take Sadam out of power. He was the leader of Iraq. The war was against Iraq. Once the leader leaves and the army stops fighting, the war is over.

Sorry, Obama I cannot afford your crisis intervention. in Politics JoeUser Forums

This really will not take long. When Mr. Bill Clinton was in office I sat down and did a simple psycholgical analysis of him. It was not that flattering. A few minutes ago I watched Barak Hussien Obama speak about everything that is wrong with Mr. Jeremia Wright's latest diatribe. I saw Mr. Obama smiling to himself in what I would describe a gloating fashion.&nbs

No I do not like homosexuals. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Do I hate gays? The answe is no. I think hate is a useless emotion that does not build anything positive. However, if homosexual relationships are suppose to be about loving some one and sharing your life with them, then why all the politics? There in is my discontent. I believe in the right of individuals to live their "private lives" according to their desires. It is not for me to of

Can we avoid a "terrible life"? in Life JoeUser Forums

Today's point of meditation is "can we avoid building a terrible life"? I guess a first place to start is define "terrible life". I would say a life where a person is suffering to the extent were he or she cannot be at peace no matter what he or she does in life in a "terrible life". I have already written about being more realistic about our lives. In past articles I have stated that a certain degree of satisfaction and fulfillment comes from being grateful for what

Maslows Pyramid of Motivation, Big Ears, Hillary, and election 2008 in Politics JoeUser Forums

There used to be a time that it was easy to predict political outcomes in America. All a person had to do was see which candidate the news media spent most of its time rediculing and reporting on that candidates "integrity flaws". For example when ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and all the rest spent almost every reporting minute reporting on "its the economy stupid" during the George H Bush vs. Slick Willy presidential campaing. It was not the economy. Unemployment was lo

Thoughts on Child Abuse and Criminal Investigations. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Today, I heard some one say what I have considered idiotic for a Lawyer. This person was pondering under what authority the state of Texas removed those 400 plus children from the mothers of that polygamous sect. The following information was taken from the Texas Department Of Protective Services web site. “The law requires CPS to notify law enforcement agencies of all reports of alleged abuse or neglect. The law enforcement agency determines, separate fro

The first hug is the one you give your self. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Today, I plan to write about something very serious. For some time I have been concerned about PTSD as it relats to the soldiers who have experienced combat. Here in El Paso, Texas there has been several incident of young soldiers loosing their lives in car accidents. Alcohol and high speed appears to be involved in some of the accidents. Sometimes people who are suffering try to medicate the pain substances and dangerous behaviors. To start the conversation I

Americans will be choosing a philosophy of life in 2008. in Politics JoeUser Forums

What is all about? Two days ago I heard Mr. Rush Limbaugh give the most profound monologue on conservatism I have ever heard. For once I did not think his show was just a waste of electricity. I guess I just don't understand the guy. However, while listening to Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oriely, and that Beck guy I have been wondering why they do not talk specifically about the elements of the conservative movement. Therefore, in the in

I as am "Apostle of Christ" come here to clarify. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Okay, I am going to try and hit this nail on the head. If you read your Bible, you will see were man asked one of God's prophets to go and ask God if they could govern themselves. God responded, "okay, but you must follow man's law as well as mine". The point here is that government is a human creation made by humans to serve humans. In the discussion at the so-called "compassion meeting" Hillary and Barak Hussien Obama attended over this weekend many invoked God's n

Morality or Profit? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I have said before that we live in a time where leaders of nations and people have chosen to serve money instead of quality of morality. Ever day we see people choosing profit over morality. I think it is wrong to impose on the president a morality that no longer appllies. People in their purchases and investments fund the Chinese economy. In addition, torture and imprisonment by immoral gov

Rice to good for McCain in Politics JoeUser Forums

As always the world will not stop. McDonalds apparently is heavily involved with the American Gay agenda. I will no longer eat at McDonalds. I was averaging $35 a week. I expect to live at least 20 more years. This means McDonalds will loose aproxiamtely $36, 400. This brings me to my next point. Apparently there was an event were Christian Evangelicals warmed McCain against choo

McCain wins 2008 election. in Politics JoeUser Forums

This is my simple analysis of the current political situation in America. I will start by looking at the voter and the voters relationship with the news media. Sixty percent of elligable voters cannot be bothered to vote. I always see in the news after a national election that about forty percent voted. Of the forty percent who vote eighteen percent

Reflections on individual integrity and the future of America. in Life JoeUser Forums

For the most part I believe we have entered a time in the human experience were we all think that there are no people of integrity. I,myself, can testify that I have very little confidence in people no matter were they are earning their keep. In El Paso, Texas I have seen enough of the behavior of municipal police officers to not have any more respect for them. Here, the local cops like to stop people f

Obama. in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Okay. Let me see if I can put two rational thoughts together. First, let me say that I am very troubled about writing this BLOG entry. However, I do believe I have a moral obligation to give this message. I have already written that a Christian is a person who willingly follows Christ because of a personal encounter with Jesus, which led to the individuals eyes, heart, and mind being open to the only "t

Obama: "hope", "change", and "hate speech". in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I have come here in defense of Christianity. Mr. Barak Hussien Obama is having to answer for his association with a Pastor who obviously has some very extreme views. For those who have heard the rhetoric of Afro-American political radicals it is all old news. However, Mr. Obama has to explain why he has been attending a church for the last twenty years with views as extreme as the Pastor who runs this church. My concern is the obvious attempt by the sam
