It’s Constitutional… No it’s not…. Yes, it is…
September 5th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
There is quite a lot being said lately about what is one’s Constitutional Rights. These two words are being thrown about almost carelessly. Particularly with issues on the border with Mexico, Arizona’s current lawsuit involvement with the Federal government over immigration issues, and matters regarding the proposed ‘Ground Zero’ mosque, I have heard [...]

One More Time
August 29th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
Excerpts from ‘One More Time’ by John P. Schumake
It was an experiment where monkeys, or orangutans were placed in a chair and there was a device built into the chair that simulated the sudden impact of a collision from the rear of a car, and it generally resulted in breaking vertebrae of the orangutans. ..
…There was a court ruling this past Monday by Judge Royce Lambert, U.S. district Court, that will prohibit Federal Grant money for going to use in projects that result in the destruction of a human embryo. ..

Come Close. I Have a Secret to Tell You
August 22nd, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from ‘Come Close. I Have a Secret to Tell You’
…’Cat’s outa the bag, Obama’s a Muslim’….
…We all have secrets. Some of them are things that might embarrass us. Some of them are things that we consider essentially private, and though not embarrassing, still, even potentially hurtful to ourselves or others…
…I suggest that the hype created by all of this is really just welcome cover for a deeper darker secret, the squelched secret, of course, which most logical people would come to, that the president may indeed be a vampire, he along with Nancy Legosi, alias Nancy Pelosi…

It Is the Best of Times, It Is the Worst of Times
August 15th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Picture a world where, if a thief comes to your place of business an electronic eye locks on him immediately, and a vertex of laser beams focused on his chest becomes immediately visible…
…The element of surprise has been turned around….
…weaponry like auto-responsive clothing that is able to address only the attacker with sharp invisible, yet painful barbs…
…Picture a world where no one tries to be politically correct. In this world everyone is initiated into society by a method practiced since ancient times…
…Picture a world where smaller social institutions, and inter-corporate affiliations, even guilds, if you will, become the defender of those abused by a drug infested gangs, because the large, lumbering government has become a slow and overstuffed dinosaur …
Who will restore hope and order? Thomas Jefferson? Eli Whitney? Andrew Carnegie perhaps, or maybe…

Passing The Torch
August 8th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from ‘Passing the Torch’
…it’s probably sparked the debate about more guns.
… neither was Obama. He, too, is totally lost when it comes to the economy
…and they have provided no new solution to fill the yawing illegal-drug aperture left by the Federal Government impasse with the border states.
…What many people forget is that they used what was then known as ‘the peace bond’, that set of circumstances ostensibly produced by the Soviet Union falling apart, which didn’t seem to demand that we as a nation pump much money into our military.
…This was shortsighted. When 911 hit we discovered that our military was badly under-equipped, outdated in many respects, command centers, like NORAD, had all but been disassembled…
The current malaise will prevent money from being creatively channeled into innovative security developments with long-term benefits; whether its drones, miniaturization, or DNA labs, the foresightedness of past president has given the current administration tools.

Dropping the Big Ball, or From Ventures to Dentures
July 31st, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from DROPPING THE BIG BALL
…There’s an old story, which I heard down in Mexico, and I am told is true, about a man who daily rode a bike across the border from Mexico into the U.S., and then at night went back…
…The man/hours of productivity lost in this country, due to addictions are a weakening factor in our economy. The drain on the health care system, the lives destroyed and the crimes committed make drugs the single most damaging element in our society
…The guards at the crossing always checked him, and they too seemed convinced that he was somehow smuggling something …
…I would never venture to say that the Arizona Immigration Law is any sort of a panacea to stop the drug traffic…
…If the Obama Administration had made fighting drug use, stopping its importation, educating the youth, defeating the smugglers on the Federal level at the point of origin the priority, the Arizona border law would never have been considered…
…How do you make dentures for vampires… Is plumbing involved?

ITS ALL ABOUT SHARING
July 24th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
Excerpts from ITS ALL ABOUT SHARING
I was amused by the clever ploy of the Obama Administration to be willing to sabotage their own proposed extension of the unemployment benefits just to make Republicans look bad…
…What would unquestionably help to reduce the strain on Coal producing Energy Plants, and also reduce the potential of total electrical brown-outs during High Usage Periods would be an incentive for home owners to invest in …
…Unfortunately, a failure of the Utility Grid suits the government Share-Bears just fine…

What Does He Feed Off Of?
July 17th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
Excerpts from “What Does He Feed Off Of?”
So, “What’s a dog in the manger?”
The dog in the manger doesn’t want to eat out of the manger, but he won’t let anyone else eat. He just sits there and growls, baring his teeth at any entity that ventures close….

The Persistence of Memory
July 10th, 2010 by Juan Zapatero
We are about to give up that sound mathematics to go into a new realm, a strange new Daliesque physics, the realm of expired tax cuts,

Roll Out the Barrel
July 4th, 2010 by John P. Schumake
…banks have been held entirely responsible for a mortgage crisis that was, in large part caused by the irresponsible persuasions of House and Senate Financial Oversite Bodies …
…We watched as the Federal Government ignored the pleas of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to provide sand berms and boom to keep back the oil spill from Louisiana’s marshes and shores. …
…Individuals who are returning from tours of duty in the military and people who are active in Pro-life groups are flagged by our Homeland Security department, according to their own statements as Potentially dangerous;
…
as The Fairness Doctrine was presented as a bill with both state and federal versions that liberal groups are trying to foist upon the country, which would force Conservative T.V and radio talk shows to provide equal time for Liberal Points of view, …
What would James Madison think, who authored most of our constitution, and expressed so well those quintessential checks and balances that were designed to help keep one party or group from oppressing another…
