Welcome to my blog! In preparation for the November midterm elections, I am recommending various books, bumper stickers and other types of material to make you aware of what is at issue this year. Do you want a capitalist-based, freedom from the state  society or a state-run socialist freedom-inhibiting society? You'll help decide that by how you vote in November. To help, here's this week's recommended reading: Newt Gingrich lays down the reasons against a socialist state as personified by Obama and the Radical Left and the steps to take to avoid such a society. Highly recommended reading. Grab your copy today, read it and be ready to vote in November! Thanks for reading my blog!

Welcome to my blog! Now is the time to start beating the bushes and getting the Revolutionaries ready for November! We need to stop Socialism in its tracks! Each week (if not more frequently), I will post a Revolutionary task - a book to read, a bumper sticker to stick, etc. Hopefully, this will get the word out and people will Vote in November! This week's entry is a simple, yet effective bumper sticker you can start using now: STOP this OBAMA-NATION Vote November 2, 2010 by stamped Thank you for reading my blog!

Welcome to my blog! I wanted to bring two important food related films to your attention. The first film, Fast Food Nation , is based on the book of the same name, but instead of making it a straight documentary (as the book is) the movie is a fictionalized journey of a fast food manager finding out where the food he serves originates. While I didn't read the book, I did find the movie compelling. I found the stories within the main story interesting and never "preachy" except for one small segment with college students. Overall, this film really hits you and makes you want to re-evaluate what you eat and where it comes from. Strongly recommended. The second feature, Food, Inc. , is a straight up documentary on where our food comes from. It's a rather disturbing documentary. Its basic emphasis is on where our meat comes from and how the corn industry has manipulated our food chain for the worse. It's a real eye-opener and is also strongly recommended viewi...

Woo hoo!! They won! And by a LOT MORE than the 3 points that I predicted! Who Dat? Who Dat? Thanks for reading my blog!

Welcome to my blog! The video below is from the swearing in ceremony of Republican Senator Scott Brown (MA). In an historic upset special election in Massachusetts, a conservative Republican won the seat of the deceased "liberal lion" of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, effectively eroding the Democrats choke-hold on the Senate for the time being. The funny thing is that the Massachusetts state Democrats shot themselves in the foot and severely hobbled the national party's and Barack Obama's agenda. Back in 2004, when it looked like Senator John Kerry (D-MA) could win the Presidency (bwahahaha), the Massachusetts state Democrats (who have a huge margin in both houses of the General Court) quickly passed a law that called for a special election to replace a Senator instead of being chosen by the Governor (it was feared that then Republican Governor Mitt Romney would choose a Republican to replace Kerry). The law passed and Kerry lost his Presidential bid. Fast forward seve...

Welcome to my blog! This Sunday, February 7, 2010, is Super Bowl Sunday. The NFC Champions New Orleans Saints will be facing the AFC Champions Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl 44. I am rooting for the New Orleans Saints. They had a great year - winning the first 13 games in a row. This will be their first ever Super Bowl appearance. They remind me a bit of the 2007 New England Patriots with their high-powered offense, though the offensive juggernaut of the first half of the season didn't quite carry over to the second half. They did get the job done though. They have a bit of a Cinderella aura surrounding them ever since Hurricane Katrina. I'm not that great at making scoring predictions, but I'll say the Saints win by 3 points (a field goal). So - tell us your thoughts about Super Bowl 44 - are you watching? Who's gonna win? And by how big a margin?? Leave your comments below! Thanks for reading my blog and Follow my Blog!
