A few years ago I listened to an individual try to explain why some Americans don’t hate Communism and Communist propaganda as much as they do Nazism or Fascism. His view was the media during World War II covered the atrocities done by Hitler, and the world was given the […]

“We aren’t coming to take part…we are coming to take over”
As a child whenever anyone told me something couldn’t be done it always made me angry. I thought it a cowardly thing to say. Not to mention they were wrong. As a teenager and an adult I cannot remember ever being told I couldn’t accomplish my goal or dream. Maybe […]
Debt, Pimp, and Fruit Loops
When Barack Obama met with “Pimp with a Limp”…we were working. When Obama met with Al Sharpton…we were working. When Obama met with a woman who bathed herself in milk and Fruit Loops…we were working. As stated previously those who’ve been with me for a while know how I feel […]
Roar With Me
I love these United States. I thank the Big Fella Upstairs everyday that I was born in America. It is the greatest home field advantage known to man. So while I am on the planet I demand of myself to always have the American experience. To ROAR! The founders of […]
Leadership by moral default
Over the last few years I’d stopped watching the State of the Union address. Listening to a man reading words written by someone else was uninspiring. Never mind the distortion, disinformation, and dishonesty. But even if I was willing to go with Obama’s facts (I know…an oxymoron. No Obama supporters […]
A bit of History
It’s been said figures don’t lie but liars can figure. Can they? I just finished reading multiple articles about our economy and unemployment. As usual, the writers use numbers given to them by the government. This is unfortunate for many reasons. (1) Almost all numbers coming from the government are […]
America is the dream
We don’t “hope” for things. We never have. We earn. We pray. We say thank you. ‘Hope” used to have a positive connotation. It tells us much about the man who turned it into a punchline…or a four letter word. Yet the American spirit is alive and well! Through crushing […]
Two Cultures: Freedom or Oppression.
For those of you who’ve read Late Bird you know the Big Fella Upstairs blessed me with a curious mind which made school (except for French) relatively easy. I remember debating teachers when they marked some of my answers wrong. “That is your perception” I told a professor once, “I […]
The American Dream isn’t home ownership
Driving to work today I fell in behind a vehicle that definitely needed some attention. On the back of this dilapidated jalopy was a wide variety of bumper stickers. “COEXIST” was one of the messages the driver of the car was attempting to share. Well, to be accurate the “C” […]
Abolish Income Tax
If used properly Facebook and the internet can be powerful positive forces. In my last post I requested my words be shared everywhere, all across the land:) I thank all of you who’ve done so and will do so in the future. One voice at a time is exactly how […]
