I realize you love your gun, but why are you shooting your own foot?

by Vincent Yanez

We have seen the enemy, and he is us.

Before the Senate went home for their Independence Day Holiday Weekend, they refused to pass the extension of benefits for jobless Americans. Normally, unemployment benefits last 26 weeks, a little over six months is seen as a good amount of time to find a new job…in normal times.

However, these are not normal times. This country has been in a recession since the last President went back home to clear brush and learns how to eat pretzels. We have the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, with the average unemployment lasting from 9 months to a year. A recession, I remind you, that came to play with a Republican President and a Republican Senate. So technically, they bring us to the brink of collapse, we are narrowly avoiding a Depression and yet they cannot find it in their hearts/brains to help those Americans who are nothing more than victims to their idiocy. … Continue Reading

Normandy, NOT Waterloo!

By: Jim Moss

Several months ago, as the fight over health insurance reform began to heat up, Republican Senator, Jim DeMint of  South Carolina, prophesied that health care reform would prove to be “Obama’s Waterloo”.  DeMint’s confident declaration set the stage for a high-profile showdown between Democrats and Republicans — between President Obama and the Republican Party Leadership who vowed to defeat, obstruct, kill — any legislative proposal endorsed by President Obama.

This ‘Waterloo — Line In The Sand’ served to fire up folks across America, resulting in the raucous, uncivil town hall meetings (spectacles) during the Congressional Summer Recess.  DeMint’s provocative prediction (coupled with $$ millions of corporate lobbyist dollars) facilitated a political dog fight that ultimately would require a Winner and a Loser.  The South Carolina Senator  apparently believed that if his Party could stop health care reform legislation — such a decisive victory would damage Obama’s prestige, derail the Obama Agenda, and thus destroy Obama’s Presidency.

‘Obama’s Waterloo’ — this hard-line partisan strategy — high-jacked any opportunity for a bi-partisan, Win-Win outcome. … Continue Reading

Would JESUS Support ‘ObamaCare’?

By: Jim Moss

It appears that the U.S. Congress is on the verge of passing ‘historic’ health care & insurance reform legislation.
The year-long debate about health care reform has brought America to the brink of big CHANGE, Obama-style.   Now is the time for all good citizens to ask a simple, yet sobering question —

Would JESUS support ObamaCare?

Whenever the name of Jesus Christ is invoked for the purpose of making a political point, Jesus always wins.  In other words, IF it is obvious what Jesus would do — then, any public policy that is clearly contrary to the teachings of Jesus simply can not stand.
So, to be fair, it is important to probe the true meaning of ObamaCare, and to uncover what it will really do to America. … Continue Reading

Chemo,Cancer & Your Health

It seems both John Hopkins and the MAYO Clinic agree that chemotherapy is not the best ‘first defense’ in ridding the body of cancer cells. Turns out there is much that the individual can do by addressing what they eat and how they breathe. It is advice that helps put atleast part of the solution back into the hands of the individual – rather than a healthcare system which seems largely out-a-control and out of reach to most.

The following is an excerpt from a news letter which went out from John’s Hopkins.
