Darwin Award Goes to: Ed Schultz
Tuesday, Jan 27, 2015

“American Sniper” is breaking box office records. Those who have seen the movie have great things to say about it. The realities of war and what these guys go through comes through loud and clear, except for a few Hollywood elitists. The same groups of people who have no problem making movies glorifying...

Bottomless Buckets
Monday, Jan 19, 2015

If any of you have taken Dave Ramsey’s financial classes, you know he uses an “envelope system” to help you budget and save money. You can easily see where money is being spent, how it’s growing or dwindling, and so on. The government can’t make envelopes that big, so we talk in terms of buckets....

I Hated My Kids
Monday, Jan 12, 2015

First, let me say Happy New Year. I hope you had a great Christmas and holiday season and that you have come back to reality and the rhythm of life whole and healthy. I’ve been on vacation for a few weeks. While it was more like dropping off of social media and the web for a while than actually going...

Beginning to Feel Less Like Christmas
Monday, Dec 15, 2014

Can you feel it in the air? Can you tell what time of the year it is? It starts in September, rapid-fire. What are we doing for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas – er, I mean, the holidays? Almost no one has an issue with Halloween, and after years of telling the little ones to take nothing...

Equality Hypocrites
Monday, Dec 1, 2014

The equality hypocrites are at it again.  You know those hippy throwbacks who think it would be cool if everyone were “equal” like the Constitution guarantees? Just a heads up: The guarantee is for equal access to succeed, not a guarantee for equal success. This president can’t seem to grasp that...

Revolution is Coming
Monday, Nov 24, 2014

Mr. Obama declared himself our emperor last week. Well, at least in so many words. You didn’t hear it? Of course you did, but it was thinly veiled, and you have to do a little work stringing it together. Just like Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse-tung before him, Obama has been openly laying out his plan...

Strike 9, You’re Out
Monday, Nov 17, 2014

I believe in giving people many chances – as long as they are willing to work at correcting it. I’ve never fired anyone for making mistakes at work, as long as I knew we had properly instructed them in their duties, that they were working at making it better, and that the mistake, although possibly...

Stubborn Teenager
Monday, Nov 10, 2014

Don’t you feel like you’re dealing with a stubborn teenager every time you hear President Obama speak? Even his own party has started to look on him with disdain. He did nothing (thank God) to help his party win or keep seats, except raise money. We learned several things in this last election: You...

214 Days
Monday, Nov 3, 2014

President Obama has said he had a pen and a phone and would use them if Congress didn’t act. He insinuates Congress does nothing to help the American people. He seems to forget there are more than 380 bipartisan bills sitting on the desk of his top lapdog, Harry Reid, who refuses to bring them to the...

No Voter Fraud
Monday, Oct 27, 2014

If you want to see someone on the progressive left blow a gasket, talk about voter fraud. They will all you it doesn’t exist or it’s so small, it’s immeasurable. I say they can’t see the forest for the trees. The hard part about voter fraud is, you have to prove the person knew what he was doing...
