Slick Willy

Wow! Last night's speech by Bill Clinton at the DNC was very convincing. When he was done, I felt compelled to vote with the liberals.... Not really, but he gave a very passionate speech and he did a great job manipulating the data to give undue credit to Obama's first three and a half years in office. Clinton touted Obama's  liberal accomplishments as successes so well, that many who were on the fence jumped enthusiastically to the left. Oh, help us!

What a bunch of blind sheep these liberal voters are. Have they forgotten that the man that so passionately swooned them last night brought public shame and reproach to the sacred office of the Presidency. Was it not Bill Clinton who perjured himself as President, lying to the public about his Oval Office misconduct with a one Monica Lewisnsky?  Clinton has a lying reputation! And he's the guy who's message was embraced last night!? If he lied to you while he was President, don't you think he would lie to you when he is not? How can a man of Clinton's character be chosen by his party as the Democratic standard bearer? I guess that decision speaks a great volume of the party and it's loyal voters. Great speach...but no credibility.

Some things about Clinton's speech that was a farce:
1.  "Obama inherited this economic mess." Well, he did. He inherited it from the Democratic-controlled Congress which took office in 2007 (of which he was a part). Obama himself voted for the out-of-control spending budgets of 2007-present. Before this, there were 4 straight years of reduced deficit spending under the Bush administration.
2. "Obamacare is already helping people." Really, last I checked, the policies of the Affordable Health Care Act don't even take effect until 2014. Writers of the law set this date to benefit the President, because when it does start to burden the healthcare system and the average American, his job would be safe -- assuming his re-election.
3. "'So here's another job score. President Obama: plus 4.5 million, congressional Republicans: zero."
In January 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 106.8 million Americans in paid jobs. In July of this year, the figure came in at 111.3 million. That's a gain of 4.5 million. The problem: President Obama was sworn in to office in January 2009. On his first day in office, the private payroll count stood at 111 million. So if Obama is to take full responsibility for all his time in office, his administration has only created a net of 300,000 jobs.(ABCnews.com -- fact check).

Bottom line... Again you have a politician who is "pouring honey" into the ears of his followers. During this campaign season, we are seeing all our candidates seek approval for their own agendas. What we need are statesmen not politicians. We need people who seek to promote the people they serve rather than themselves. Someone who looks out for the people rights and the protection of our Constitution.

So, Bill Clinton... nice try.

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...

America's Facebook (and other social media) Problem

There may not be a man more responsible for the destruction of America than Mark Zuckerberg. I'm sure at the onset of beginning Facebook, this wasn't Zuckerberg's intent. I doubt it is his intent even today, but he unknowingly founded a company that has evolved into a platform that daily divides the American people further and further into a plethora of radical groups. A platform . That is exactly what it is. An online stage once created to share insights and stay connected with friends and family, Facebook- and all similar social media platforms- has developed into a platform where the most timid of us openly proclaim our unsolicited, and usually flawed opinions on topics that we really have no business even mentioning. Unfounded opinions that create anger and stir up controversy, and there is no repercussion for anything we type or the tone in which we deliver it because the comments are veiled in online anonymity. It sure is easy to bully and shame others when you n...
