Democrats: Stubborn or Stupid

 http://usbacklash.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/obama-milking-us-economy-dry.cow_.jpg

Is it just me or are there people out there who, no matter what is said or what evidence there is to discredit their beliefs, will continue to walk in error. This election season has evidenced this truth to me in such a profound manner that I feel confused and perplex and a bit frustrated at those who hold their ground, despite it sinking beneath them. So, I wonder... are they being stubborn or are they just plain stupid.

Remember that stupidity is worse than ignorance. Being ignorant is one thing because you don't have knowledge of the facts. Stupidity is worse because you do have the knowledge of the error and you are able to identify the problem and repair it, yet you choose the status quo.

This typifies the Democrat today. They know that Obama has unsuccessfully spent record amounts of tax dollars on "plans" to fix the economy. They know that Obama over-rided the people's will and shoved Obamacare down our throats. They know he has not made a single Presidential visit to Israel, our most-coveted ally. They know his plan to tax the rich doesn't make any sense (because the rich are the ones who employ 90% of America). They know he is an immoral man who promotes the murdering of unborn babies, homosexuality, gay marriage and a variety of other socially immoral issues. They know he lacks any kind of military knowledge/strategy (Benghazi). They know he is purposely deceptive (Benghazi cover-up, broken campaign promises, current campaign lies, and hot mic incident involving his promise the Russian prime minister that "he will have more flexibility after his election.") They know he is fiscally irresponsible ($16 trillion debt over last 3 1/2 years, government sponsored bailouts and misappropriation of funds to companies like Solyndra). They know that unemployment and underemployment is still at record highs. They know people are making less than they did four years ago.

All these are facts not just circulated by the right-winged conservatives and FoxNews. These are all obvious facts anyone can gather from minimal observation. Even the left-wing liberal media won't deny these common facts about our current President.

I guess the answer to the stupid or stubborn question isn't all that hard. They are both. Stubbornness is stupidity. They are stupid for having the knowledge without taking corrective action (voting out Obama) and stubborn for digging in and holding their ground (party loyalty). What is truly stupid is their trying to dig in to get a foothold while their eyes are staring at the sign that reads: Caution: Sink Hole Area.

Making the Case for "Assault"-Style Weapons: It's a Heart Issue

In the wake of the recent school shootings in America, many have asked, "Why do we need access to "assault"-style weaponry as private citizens?" So... here's my take on the Second Amendment. Not to be argumentative... just posing a logical explanation. Let's say our government does begin to radically infringe upon our rights. Let's say a dictatorship does arise. The sole intent of the Founding Fathers to arm its people was to protect against a rogue government.  "But they never envisioned the type of guns we have today." This is the argument of many, which in my estimation falls flat on its face. Though they're right and it's true, the Founders could never have imagined the realm of destruction and devastation our modern-day privately-owned weapons wield. But they also never envisioned a government that has the military weaponry ours does today either. Can you imagine a suppressed citizenry trying to defend with single-s...

The Christian School: Committing to Sacrifice

This time of year is definitely an emotional roller coaster for the administrator of a Christian school. The end of the year is quickly approaching and we look back on all the successes of the last 10 months. Academic programs, fine arts competitions, educator's conferences, legislative tasks, Christmas programs, Spirit Week, achievement testing, classroom activities, administrative accomplishments, student progress… the list could go on. This year ’ s staff has been the best one ever—a team of dedicated, hard-working, enthusiastic teachers who have sacrificed so much for such little monetary compensation. Our students have excelled academically and – I ’ d like to say—spiritually over the past school year. Grades are up, spirits are high and camaraderie is at its peak. All in all… it has been a fantastic year. The best one yet in our 13-year existence. All that said, what could possibly get me down? Well, it ’ s commitment time. The time of year when our current parents...

Walk as He Walked...

I love sports. Not all sports... just American ones... baseball, American football, basketball. Don't hate me, but you can have your soccer and hockey. Now, as to the aforementioned sports.. they appeal to me. They have for as long as I can remember. I was around ten or eleven when I really began to take note of certain athletes. Ones I aspired to be like. My favorite growing up was Bo Jackson. He was a two-sport athlete -- football and baseball. He was a beast of a man. He was big and powerful, yet, on the ball diamond, he had a grace about him. He took swings that were mighty, yet smooth. His form in the batter's box was impeccable. In the outfield, he could chase down what would normally be gap-bound doubles with ease. If you've followed sports going back to the late '80s and early '90's, you may even remember the highlight of Bo making a catch on the dead run and running up the side of the outfield wall because his momentum couldn't be stopped. On the...
