Ye shall know them by their fruits

The Dalai Lama is a warrior of gentle peace and dignity. His weapons are words. I do not understand why President Obama is putting off meeting the Dalai Lama. I do not want to speculate but can't help but see what the priority is here. China is more important. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. If I knew what my country stands for these days perhaps I would not be so confused. It seems that if the issue involves things of personal interest to President Obama, wow, right to the top of the list. If its for something that might reflect well on our nation as a whole, what we used to stand for, what we used to try to be an example of, well, sorry guys, he'll get back to us later on that. He needs to "think" some more about that. Maybe he does. Maybe he just can't figure us out. Maybe he really does not know what to do about a lot of things. At least I have the common sense how to be a proper host to such an honored guest visiting our country. About those "fruits". Maybe the President just isn't ripe enough yet.

Arizona- Symptoms of Desperation

I was born and raised in Arizona. I have family that still lives there. I feel justified in writing about the latest Immigration Law and the national uproar over it. For those of you comfortable in your cities, towns, neighborhoods and just driving down the street to go to church or do shopping, put yourself in the shoes of the people that have to live in Arizona. Try to imagine seeing your American culture being erased slowly over the years and you realize you were somehow transported to Tijuana, Mexico. The news is full of innocent victims of robbery, rape, kidnapping, etc. You are afraid to go out at night. The problems are real, the fear is justified. So, should the Arizonians just give up and turn over their portion of America over to illegals just so you don't have to be inconvenienced or bothered with solving this problem? Its not going to go away. It is spreading and it is coming to a neighborhood near you. Let me tell you about Arizonians. They are not going to let their s

Part Time Americans - Full Time Hornets

I have been sifting through the Health Care Bill. Giving my eyes a moment to uncross themselves a thought came to me. All throughout the Bill are references to full time employees. The requirement for employers to provide coverage to full time employees and their families. Also the requirements for all Americans to get coverage. There are provisions for those making under a set amount in income to recieve credit from the government to aid in the purchase of the health insurance, but few people will be exempt from it. Would it be a shock to us, if businesses large and small simply reduced the hours of their employees to no longer have as many "full time" employees as they had, and add to their ranks a larger pool of "part time" employees? That would get businesses off the hook. What about the workers? If you think times are bad now with high unemployment, wait to see what they are like when the hard working back bone of society is reduced to part time employment. The

The Man With The Power

Learned this morning of the FBI arresting members of a religious militia called the Hutaree. I am relieved that these people are being exposed. It is good to see that the FBI was able to stop them before somebody got hurt or killed. Sadly I wonder how many more groups like them that are out there. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in gun rights. In fact I agree with some people that think gun control means using both hands and taking careful aim, however, people like these Hutaree are just plain crazy. Their big mistake was resorting to plans to use guns as a means to protect their concerns. They should have done what the Black Panthers did to the voters at one the the Philadelphia voting places on November 4, 2008. They should have walked around shouting verbal intimidation and sporting a night stick. Of course the naughty men involved in that incident did get into a little bit of trouble. Since it was only just the national election for our President, the nation's Attorney Gen
