Whenever there is a great crisis or a great tragedy in the United States, the collectivists immediately try to use it for their own political advantage. As Rahm Emanuel once said, "you never want a serious crisis to go to waste". So it should be no surprise that liberals are doing their best to exploit the horrible tragedy that just happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. 20 small children and 6 adults were savagely murdered, and instead of appropriately mourning this great loss, liberals are in a feeding frenzy and are falling all over one another as they rush to exploit this horrible tragedy for political gain. Some of the most horrible things that you can imagine are being said about gun owners and about the NRA. They are being called murderers, terrorists and "the new KKK". Some are even suggesting that they should be shot or rounded up and put into camps. It is absolutely disgusting to watch what is going on, and the mainstream media is just eating all of this up. The mainstream media loves any story that they can use to demonize those that are opposed to the collectivist agenda.
Fortunately, the rampant demonization of gun owners is only (Read More....) [...]
Once upon a time, Detroit was one of the greatest cities in the entire world. Today, it has become a desolate wasteland where the lawless reign. Once upon a time, Detroit was a teeming metropolis of about 2 million people. Today, it has become a rotting war zone with a population that is down to about 700,000. Once upon a time, Detroit was known for good paying manufacturing jobs and it was packed with middle class homes. Today, nearly all of the good paying manufacturing jobs are gone (many of which has been shipped overseas), and there are more than 30,000 vacant homes in Detroit. The city was once a shining example for the rest of the world, but now it is a laughingstock for the rest of the world. If you can believe it, more than 50 percent of all children in Detroit are living in poverty, and (Read More....) [...]
Should we be concerned that some Americans are putting Barack Obama up on the same level as Jesus Christ? Should we be alarmed when a famous actor refers to "our Lord and Savior Barack Obama" on national television or when a prominent artist depicts Obama wearing a crown of thorns? What should we think when authors write books about "Apostle Barack" or groups of school children sing songs about how wonderful he is? It is very dangerous when national leaders start to become objects of national worship. This is the kind of thing that happens in North Korea - not in the United States of America. When we put men up on a pedestal, pretty soon we find ourselves going along with whatever they say even when we know that it is wrong. It is fine to admire, respect and support our politicians if that is what you choose to do. But when the line is crossed and we start giving any politician the kind of praise and worship that only God should receive, there is a big problem. Barack Obama is not Jesus. He is just a man. Unfortunately, the truth is that many Americans believe that he is much more than that. What you are about to see should really disturb you...
Recently, actor Jamie Foxx referred to Barack Obama as "our Lord and Savior Barack Obama" during a television broadcast of the 2012 Soul Train Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Read More....) [...]
Billions of dollars is being poured into an effort to reduce population growth all over the world, and most people do not even know that it is happening. These efforts are often promoted under such labels as "family planning", "abortion rights" and "public health programs", but the primary goal is always to get women to have less children. This population control agenda has millions upon millions of supporters all over the planet and it is gaining even more adherents with each passing day. It is being taught in colleges, universities and schools all over the globe. It is being promoted by radical humanists who are completely and totally convinced that the core crisis that humanity is facing today is that there are way too many people living on this planet. They fully believe that overpopulation is the root cause of most of our economic, social, political and environmental problems. In fact, the truth is that many of them actually believe that they are literally in a "life or death" race to save the planet. Many of the "true believers" are entirely convinced (Read More....)

What in the world have we done to our kids? If you spend much time with them, you quickly realize that the next generation of Americans is woefully unprepared to deal with the real world. They are overweight, lazy, undisciplined, disrespectful, disobedient to their parents, selfish, self-centered, and completely addicted to entertainment. And that is just for starters. We feed them insane amounts of sugar and high fructose corn syrup and then when they become overactive we pump them full of prescription drugs to calm them down. Instead of raising our children ourselves, we allow the government schools and the entertainment industry to do it. By the time they reach the age of 18, they have spent far more time with their teachers, their video games and the television than they have spent with us. Our young people are #1 in a lot of global categories, but almost all of them are bad. Young people in the United States are more obese than anyone else in the world, more sexually active than anyone else in the world and they become pregnant more often than anyone else in the world. Of course it probably doesn't help that we have the highest divorce rate in the world either. Our families are a complete and total mess and it is our kids that (Read More....) [...]
 How stupid are American high school students today? Unfortunately, the truth is that our government schools are doing a worse job than most parents would dare to imagine. Not only are most of our high school students completely unprepared for college, the reality is that most of them have not even been equipped with the necessary skills that they need to function at a very basic level in the real world. Today, a surprising number of high school students are simply unable to fill out a job application, write a readable essay or balance a checkbook. If you can believe it, 18.6 percent of all men between the ages of 25 and 34 still live with their parents. In America today there are millions of children that have never grown up. Our government schools have failed them and we have failed them. They are spoiled, lazy and have very few skills to contribute to society. It is a national disgrace.
According to a survey conducted a while back by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find the nation of Iraq on a (Read More....) [...]
 When I was younger, friends and acquaintances told me that I should consider becoming a teacher, because they saw that I related well with children. And, beginning in the 1980s, I began hearing that schools were “begging” and “crying” for teachers. However, as I was growing up, I hated school. For that and other reasons, I didn't begin to consider teaching as a profession until 1990.
I left high school in 1973. Between 1973 and 1990, I went from job to job, with most of those jobs having to do with automobile repair. I also stumbled into a B.S. in agriculture (soil science emphasis), with a minor in biology, and an A.A.S. in automobile technology.
In the 1980s, the State of Texas asked businessman H. Ross Perot to help to reform the education system in Texas. One of the proposed reforms was intended to help people in other professions to “streamline” the process of becoming certified as teachers (partly by considering job experience as credit for some teaching courses, as applicable). Apparently, many people who wished to change professions to teaching hesitated, because of all of the hours of classes required to become certified. This proposed “streamlining” process initiated by Ross Perot could have—should have—helped me become a public school teacher, but, as you will read, it didn't.
In 1990, I sent a letter to (Read More....) [...]
