  • Boundaries and Borders: Why They Are Important
    Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced life. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not.

    Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others.

    The same way boundaries are meant to protect us by what we will allow into our lives, physical borders of a country are meant to the same thing. People become citizens of a country and are held together by a common culture and language. This belief in borders, language and culture is what binds us together and helps us prosper and advance as a culture. Our system of governance is based on individual rights, property laws and the rule of law. This is what has helped the US advance to a level of financial prosperity, individual liberty and scientific achievement far exceeding any nation to come before it in human history.

    However the US is being invaded (as is Europe) via mass immigration, by cultures that don't share these same beliefs - and the long term consequence will be disastrous to

  • My Neighbor Sees The Light During The Debate
    Last night's debate was less about the differing view points of the candiates and more about the main stream media and their continued bias to all things conservative.

    One of the main pillars of a free society is a press that is willing to challenge both political parties and when the duty is not taken seriously, we all suffer.

  • Congress...Watch The Other Hand
    Yes, what happened to our Ambassador in Benghazi and other brave Americans on that fateful day matters.


    Yes, who becomes the next Speaker of the House of Representatives matters.


    Yes both issues are being covered by the media.


    But what really mattes that isn't getting coverage all and why should we care?


    A nation on the verge. This episode looks at the looming cliff and why making believe its not in front of us is a recipe for personal and national disaster.

  • The Machine Gets Worried
    Are we living in a free society or are we living in a construct such as the one depicted in the movie "The Matrix?"


    Today's news highlights that reality both parties are worried about the rise of Donald Trump and we wonder "Why?"


    Shouldn't the Republicans be ecstatic that they have a real candidate that can win the election? But they aren't... and neither are the Democrats.


    Both parties know that Trump is an attack on the power structure that exists and that means bad news for both parties.


    The sad fact is that both political parties have become lazy and complicit in the destruction of the nation. We now live in a society where both parties now share political power at the expense of the governed.


    Trump, like him or hate him, represents an attack on the power structure, particularly since therre is a growing feeling that he can win.


    The pundits and the media prefer the populace believe that we live in a country where we have freedom to choose how we are governed. However, its only an illusion.


    We will talk about this illusion of left vs right as it is a construct meant to divide us and, ultimately, enslave us.

  • Violence in America: Silliness or Solutions?
    The shooting and murders in Oregon this past week have brought all of the "contenders" out of their corners in the ongoing boxing match around "to gun control or not to gun control." The arguments remain basically unchanged from the last time we heard these cries from both sides.
    What is the full specturm of violence in America and what along that spectrum can the government, local or federal, do about it?
    An open and heartfelt view of what seems to be escalating violence home and abroad. Are they connected?

  • The Week in a Nutshell
    Its been a busy week since the blood moon. While many thought it a sign of apocyliptic magnitude, it certainly ushered in a week of events of global, and long lasting, significance.
    It seems Russia has stepped up and is attempting to fulfill the former US role as protector of the oppressed. So what is Putin up to?
    The new unemployment numbers are out and there are 96 million out of the workforce, 52 million women. What is the long term effect of those stats and what does it say about the economy?
    It was formerly "UN Aenda 21" but now its "Agenda 2030." Concern for the planet and its inhabitants or New World Order?
    Finally, a tragedy in Oregon that brings out President Obama...but with facts or a political agenda?

  • To Win A War Without Firing A Shot
    The West is being invaded. In the U.S it is being invaded by immigrants from Central and South America. While in Europe, they are being invaded by the African nations as well as from the Middle East.
    It is in man's nature to better one's lot in life, to move to another country and to assimilate and help provide for one's family. But this is not the case today. Much of today's immigration is illegal. The immigrants today are coming here skirting the laws, looking at the host country for food and shelter.
    In addition, in most cases, the media outlets are criticizing the West for not doing enough. But what about the host countries themselves from where the people are fleeing? Doesn't Mexico, Honduras, Syria, Turkey, Serbia, etc all have a responsibility to their people? Shouldn't they be providing the means by which their people could flourish?
    Unlike in generations past, many immigrants no longer want to assimilate into the host culture. They are bringing with them customs that the West does not promote and then they are getting upset at the citizens for living in a manner foreign to them. Women, Christians and Jews have been subjected to harassment not seen in years.
    The political class has been absent in this battle because many stand to benefit from the chaos and new wave of immigration.
