What in the world? How stupid do they think we are?

I can’t believe what I am seeing. America, we are in deep trouble! We are being led by an empty suit that only knows how to campaign and has no clue how to govern.

This is disgusting and nothing more than the strong-arm Chicago politics of bribery and corruption brought to our nation’s capital. We are being represented by prostitutes who gladly sell their integrity for money, power, and popularity. (See: Where are the Statesmen? –...

The poorest of our poor would be considered very rich indeed by way over half the peoples of the world who, by the way, earn less than $500 per year. We have conveniences and luxuries that 75% of the rest of the world only dream about and yet…as a nation our material prosperity has not proven to be the providence of happiness that it was promised to be, and hoped for, by our parents and grandparents and theirs. In fact, by all measures we as a nation are less happy with our lives than those who lived a hundred years ago All our “stuff” has not created a happy people and more...

Some Food for Thought

First some facts, then some questions. Did you know that: 1) Real per-capita income in our country has doubled since 1960. 2) Life expectancy has nearly doubled in the last century and continues to rise? 3) The size of the average new home has grown from 1100 square feet post WWII to 2300 square feet today? 4) We Americans are more prosperous today than 99.4% of anyone who has ever lived? 5) We have technology and labor saving devices beyond what could be imagined just 50 years ago? 6) The total of the knowledge we have gained in the last 50 years is 50 times greater than all that was previously known to man and continues to double every year or less. 7) We live in the country with the greatest individual freedom that the world has ever seen? In spite of the above, all studies show that...
