Walmart and Made in the USA

Republican War on Woman
Published on 2012-04-13 07:35:00
Is the Republican War on Woman real? I'm thinking that they started a fight that they didn't think you ladies would step away from the sink or stove long enough to fight back. Dumb asses.This is from Think Progress Justice section on Virginia House Speaker William Howell (R) on those big multiple syllable words that the females of the human race don't understand. Quote "I guess I’m not speaking in little enough words for you to understand."I'm going to get some popcorn and watch the Republi [..] > read more
The Power of Prayer
Published on 2012-03-19 20:57:00
Do you believe in the power of prayer? I tend to have my own relationship with God and his many followers, and of course Jesus Christ. I don't wear it on my sleeve. We have our own personal thing gong on. But when friends and loved ones get into some kind of trouble I always find myself having a personal conversation with some folks in the form of a prayer.I pray to my mom who died in 1992, my dad who died in 2003, and my grandparents on both sides that passed decades ago. I fully believe t [..] > read more

Political Election Financing
Published on 2012-03-16 17:10:00
The way that our government is set up, it is inevitable on both political sides to not get special interest money in political donations for a campaign. All politicians have to do it and it raises the question of what is the return for that donation to the political campaign? Us folks in the middle class that are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or MyMOM WAS an alien from outer space are going to get screwed over no matter who gets elected. It is just the way the system is. Somebody has to [..] > read more
Limbaugh Advertisers
Published on 2012-03-12 19:24:00
I recently saw a piece about Rush Limbaugh on his own site stating that all of the advertisers that quit his show is really not a concern and he is right. Rush Limbaugh makes his money off of syndicating his show nationwide. The stations that run his program pay for the right to run his program. National advertisers are really no concern of his. He just speaks into the mike and the words go nation wide. The only people suffering from his idiocy are the local radio stations that carry his sh [..] > read more
Deep Thoughts from Facebook
Published on 2012-03-04 17:04:00
Facebook is an awesome place for motivational thinking posters. Pictures and thoughts that just make you think how to be a better person. Sometimes they are obvious and sometimes just a simple lift to your soul. Look at them how you like but they all have some meaning to someone and each person can walk away with a different purpose to their life after reading them.I try to live my life in the positive simply because I choose too. When you live your life thinking that the world is against yo [..] > read more
Vegan Lifestyle
Published on 2012-03-04 15:24:00
I've heard many good things about having a complete Vegan diet but as someone that was raised on meat and potato's I'm not sure if I buy it one hundred percent. I know for a fact that a diet high in meat of any kind can cause health problems but I also know that a diet that is full of just vegetables is extremely good for you. But I like burgers, I like steak, I even like chicken and pork. I can't see myself living a strictly Vegan lifestyle when it comes to my diet. I think I suffer from th [..] > read more
A Woman Has No Reproductive Rights
Published on 2012-02-25 14:39:00
The Republican's are right on the money. All you woman that think you own your uterus and reproductive organs are nut jobs that need a lobotomy. Maybe you need that lobotomy to get some common sense into your head! No offense intended but the GOP thinks that all of you woman should be put in your place and know your place. Steppford Wives is not a bad thing if you will just do what you are told. Know your place woman and the world will be fine. There should be barbed wire around your repro [..] > read more
Energy Policy for Future Generations
Published on 2012-02-24 15:21:00
I am firmly entrenched in the renewable energy mindset. I look at the way that our nation lives and how we abuse energy in oh so many ways. We bitch and moan about the cost of gasoline and yet we continue to buy vehicles that get less gas mileage than the cars built in the early seventies. We bitch and moan about our dependence on other nations for our energy needs and yet refuse to look at the vast resources right here in the United States that are renewable. It seems to be ironic that we h [..] > read more
Political Friend or Enemy
Published on 2012-02-18 10:42:00
I have come to the age and mind to believe that no matter who we elect to our congress that my wallet will be taken from me. All attempts to protect what little income I have coming in must go to the greater good they say with a political smile as they leave in their limousine. The upcoming presidential election and congressional elections are no different now than they were fifty years ago or even one hundred years ago. The end result is that those of us in the middle class are going to get [..] > read more
Election of a President
Published on 2012-02-15 20:00:00
It is interesting to see how presidential campaigns are funded. On the Democrat side you have people giving one dollar, five dollars, ten dollars and sometimes a tad bit more. Yes the President has some big campaign donors where they max out at $2500 for a plate of chicken and a short speech from the President of the United States of America. But when you look at Governor Romney and his fundraising efforts it is all the people that can max out donations. That should set off an alarm in your [..] > read more
Kids with Cancer
Published on 2012-02-12 20:04:00
As a parent I pray to God that none of my five girls ever come down with cancer. Kids with cancer is one of the worst battles any parent can fight. You have to be the better emotionally controlled person to tell your child that all will be fine while you fight with the people that say that certain treatments are not covered and the bills mount up. It is a battle that you never want to fight and I pray that many of my readers never have to face. To have a child that is suffering from cancer i [..] > read more
Thirty Nine Cent Bullet Theory
Published on 2012-02-08 19:38:00
I'm of the honest opinion that if you live a life of evil then you should be judged and sentenced as evil. I am by far not a huge fan of the death penalty but I am not in favor of giving monsters that commit horrible crimes a free life trip to Club Med with all expenses paid! My brother from another mother and I are debating this between our blogs. I am friendly to the thirty nine cent bullet theory when it comes to true monsters in our society that commit despicable crimes against society. [..] > read more
Applebee's Recycling Problem
Published on 2012-02-05 16:14:00
I have to be honest and say that I have been an Applebee's customer and fan for years and years. Not just here in Missouri where I now live but back in New England as well. When they say you are in the neighborhood, you are in the neighborhood! The food is awesome, the layout of the restaurants are consistent no matter where you visit the Applebee's in your neighborhood. One thing that the entire chain has mastered is how to friend customers even if you see them just once. The get to know y [..] > read more
Facebook Timeline
Published on 2012-01-27 09:23:00
If you are the kind of person that enjoys your privacy then chances are you do not have a facebook account. Facebook is what one might call a useless addiction. For some unknown reason people readily open up their most inner thoughts on its pages for the public to see. For those of you that are not facebook users aka addicts, its like writing in you personal diary but everything you write appears on a billboard advertisement on every highway across the world.Some employers before hiring you w [..] > read more

Starting A Green Energy Company
Published on 2012-01-14 13:50:00
I've decided to make the move and finally start my own Green Energy Company. I am obsessed with the idea of building solar hot air heaters. After months and months of research and experimentation I think that I can build a solar hot air heater that works beyond the expectations of most consumers and many commercial applications. It can and will save consumers and business owners a large share of the heating costs when the sun is shinning.I'm thinking that the majority of my business will come [..] > read more
Mass Senate Seat Up for Grabs
Published on 2012-01-12 20:12:00
In the eyes of the nation the second chair in the US Senate still belongs to the Liberal Lion, former Senator Teddy Kennedy. He was the spokesman for the liberal left on what our government should be doing for the middle and lower class folks. And if you think about it in regards to tax revenue for the US Treasury, that is where the bulk of the cash comes from. Why not use it for programs to help the middle and lower classes? That is what Teddy Kennedy did all of his years in the senate, he [..] > read more
PA Governor to Save Millionaires
Published on 2012-01-10 19:31:00
How do you save a millionaire? You take the food away from babies with parents that can not find jobs. When the economy is as bad as it is every possible morsel of food for fat rich dudes wearing suits counts. Looking at the picture of the good Governor though it looks like he could use a few weeks away from the public trough so to speak.PA Governor Corbett (R no shit) is declaring war on food stamps to save money. Stimulate growth (crime rate) and create jobs (criminal ones). We need more [..] > read more
What is Truth
Published on 2012-01-02 16:38:00
A friend that I have much faith and belief in asked me to write a post about what is truth. Truth is almost an oxymoron. Depending on your perspective of what you perceive or see then the truth is what you want to see and believe. Albert Einstein had a theory about the speed of light that more or less said that it could not be broken. But in truth, if you see an object from a great distance traveling at the speed of light then you are actually seeing something that breaks his theory down to [..] > read more
