A Crazy Dream About Obama (Or Was It?)

I couldn’t believe it when I awoke this morning, that I’d dreamed about Obama!    Since I seldom remember my dreams, this was a shock, but the significance of the dream, which at first seemed silly, began to dawn on me as dawn lightened the sky.
First of all, he was riding what appeared to be motorized [...]

My Thanks for Today

I’m thankful I’m not John Edwards, or for that matter his former mistress or little Frances.   I’m thankful I’m not the young man who tried to rob a bar full of cops.   I’m thankful I don’t weigh 500 lbs. and hid a gun in my bellyfat.
I’m thankful for AOL news because every day when I sign [...]

From the Raped Mountains of Appalachia:Perspective on the Bailout

Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes, I’ll say this, I don’t give a damn about your dreams      Bob Dylan, Thunder on the Mountain

Feel like my soul is beginning to expand, look into my heart and you will understand.
You brought me here, now you’re trying to run me away, [...]

After the Flood: Grateful in Cedar Rapids

I recently experienced the one thing that would make me forget–and care even less about–the latest political claptrap. In fact, I haven’t watched Fox News or CNN for at least ten days. My focus has been captured by our local news in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
My new focus began the morning of June 11th when my sister-in-law [...]

The Only Thing Wrong with America

What is wrong with America, in the eyes of the intelligentsia? The same things that are right with America in the eyes of others. – Thomas Sowell
Many years ago I worked in an office with a young German woman whose father had been an officer in Hitler’s air force. During the war, she said, her [...]

Obama and Clinton: Dancing Around the Mulberry Bush

Does America owe Barack Obama the presidency because he’s black? This was the question that seemed to speak from the television screen as I watched the heartrending story on CNN of the murder, forty years ago, of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, a man who spoke to all oppressed people everywhere.
Will electing a black president [...]

In Honor of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

My “song” for Obama is an expression of my fear for the future of America should he be elected president. The only similarity between him or his preacher and Martin Luther King Jr. is the color of their skin.
By his uplifting language, Obama appeared to be taking up the spiritual message of King, but we found [...]

OBama: You Never Even Called Me by My Name

 
Well, it was all that I could do to keep from crying.
Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain.
You turned against my preacher
Just because he stomped and hollered
“G-D America is to blame!”
 
I ain’t to blame for my preacher
For the evil he planted in our hearts.
He was only preaching
To the choir of Satan’s angels
Who hide behind the [...]

Sermons on Hate: Wright and Obama

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. – Robert Collier
Who is this man running for president of our country? Even the thought of Obama getting elected is so appalling I cannot believe he [...]

An Astrological Event on Election Day

Reducing astrological principles to bite-size pieces in order to understand their nuts and bolts can be a real challenge, and yet provides such a great opportunity to shed light on complex problems that I feel compelled to make the effort. .
On election day, November 4th, an astrological event of transiting Saturn opposing transiting Uranus [...]
