REAL AND PRESENT DANGER

From My Perspective - - -

Question: Does the UNFAMILIAR equal the IMPROBABLE? FOX NEWS has developed a new interactive Website – www.foxnation.com – where the public can respond to different topics and news events. On that Webpage today, Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker and now a FOX News Contributor, has written: America at Risk: Two Novels President Obama Should Read. He writes, “Alex Berenson and William R. Forstchen have written two bold new novels which warn us that… Continue

RENUNCIATION AND REPUDIATION

From My Perspective - - -

The process of renouncement occurs when one decides to – “to give up or put aside voluntarily; to give up by formal declaration; to repudiate; disown…” In this regard, the following article was published by BREITBART.COM entitled: “FOLLOWING ATHEIST TREND, BRITONS SEEK 'DE-BAPTISM'…” The summary of this action is: “More than 100,000 Britons have recently downloaded ‘certificates of de-baptism’ from the Internet to renounce their Christian faith. The… Continue

AVARICE AND INDIFFERENCE

From My Perspective - - -

To say, we are living in uncertain and strange times, would be sharing a gross understatement. On the one hand, we have a nation who failed to pay attention and was indifferent when avarice (the insatiable greed for riches; inordinate, miserly desire to gain and hoard wealth) was rampant; while on the other hand, overreacting and over-reaching with proposed budgets and expenditures that are beyond imagination or comprehension. A British Member of… Continue

OBFUSCATION

From My Perspective - - -

Obfuscation is defined by The American Heritage Dictionary as: “To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand…To render indistinct or dim; darken…” In a caustic sense, it is tempting to allow that as a better description of the Houses of Congress – the Houses of Obfuscation. Few of our circumlocutious politicians can give a simple cogent response to a direct question. They all have their “spin” and/or “talking-points” so well… Continue

AN ENEMY WITHIN

From My Perspective - - -

The world seems to be adrift in a fog while trying to navigate through a maze that appears to be constantly changing. Searching for a horizon, one can detect no beacon - - no lighthouse - - no navigational guidance to see one to safety. The error is compounded when one discovers there was no preparation for a dense fog and no anticipation of a maze. Everyone assumed there would always be a beacon to guide one away from the treacherous rocks and shoals.… Continue

AWRY AND AMUCK

From My Perspective - - -

It’s difficult not to be focused upon the economic concerns of our nation and the world. Most citizens have experienced financial strain, losses, uncertainty and fears regarding the immediate and longer-term stability of employment, debt management, Social Security availability, investment recovery, etc. It seems to be abundantly clear that “financial bailout” is not focused upon the individual’s plight but has become more of a corporate welfare effort.… Continue

ENFILADING

From My Perspective - - -

Those who serve their country during wartime and in battle areas know what it is to be subjected to an enemy who is relentless in enfilading. When a command is given: “Ready! Aim! Fire!” the troops respond with an enfilade. It is: “A firing in the direction of the length of a trench, or a line of parapet or troops, etc.; a raking fire; to pierce, scour, or rake with shot in the direction of the length of, as a work, or a line of troops.” Most have heard… Continue

KERFUFFLING

From My Perspective - - -

Some pithy statements from years ago were: “Look before you leap!”; and, “Think before you speak!” It seems that nowadays we find far too many who keep on speaking until they can think of something to say. The result is a growing confusion and considerable disorder. Perhaps we should conclude: “There’s a whole lot of kerfuffling going on! To kerfuffle is to be part of: “a disorderly outburst or tumult; a commotion.”

An example of this is based… Continue

BLUNDERBUSSES OR BRAINWASHED

From My Perspective - - -

There are several phenomena occurring. Today, Wednesday – March 4th – there has been a solicitation an call for this to be a National Day of Prayer and Fasting. On www.christianpost.com the following article appears: CHRISTIANS TO HOLD NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, FASTING FOR AMERICA by Jennifer Riley.

ROBIN HOOD VIRUS

From My Perspective - - -

There is an abundance of commentary in terms of the Financial Markets and Meltdown in our country, as well as in the World Markets. Some of the commentary in this country allows that our current economic collapse is due to dishonesty, greed and mismanagement. Basically, permissiveness began to rule the markets and reality of values was pushed aside. People were permitted to borrow against a floating (ARM) interest rate on housing that had become inflated… Continue
