Raise Revenues While Shrinking Government
Raise Revenues While Shrinking Government
"Americans for Tax Reform points out that the federal government owns 650 million acres of land, which is about one-third the area of the United States. The Bureau of Land Management says that 3.3 million acres are suitable for sale to the private sector. Sell them off!"
"Reducing the sway that federal bureaucrats at the Department of Interior have over federal land and putting the acreage to good use creating jobs is just the kind of free-market solution that Republicans love — and it brings in revenue."
"And we should increase our revenues from oil-and-gas leases for offshore drilling up and down the East and West coasts. To lessen our dependence on foreign oil and to increase domestic production and self-reliance, we should speed the leasing process and use the increased revenues to plug some of the deficit."
The Federal government has plenty of money; they've just chosen to misuse the money funding 1000's and 1000's of programs they have no business running, or can no longer afford! Turn them over to the States or "close them down." For instance, can we really afford this one: http://www.adf.gov/. Here's an index of some other areas to "cut spending." http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/Federal/All_Agencies/index.shtml

The Debt Crisis Looms Large and Obama's focus is on his re-election!
What a tool...
"There will be a two-stage process. It's just not physically possible to do all of this in one step," Boehner said amid the White House pushback. "I know the president is worried about his next election. But my God, shouldn't he be worried about the country?"

We Should Stop Persecuting Fornicators
We Should Stop Persecuting Fornicators
"The media has been all over Arnold Schwarzenegger for his extramarital affairs, much like the outcry over Tiger Woods and Bill Clinton’s affairs. Other sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality, bi-sexuality and the transgendered are widely accepted and even praised. Why is there this double standard? Maybe some people are born fornicators. Find out more in this episode of Vantage Point."

Debt Ceiling -- Obama's Leadership Failure!
In Obama's opinion:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies." - Senator Barack Obama

GOP Ready to Probe NPR’s Federal Funding - HUMAN EVENTS
It's time (past time!) to remove public funding from this ultra liberal radio station. Wake up America! All Government supported/funded organizations, (media, universities, financial, etc.) are crawling with people who share NPR's CEO Vivian Schiller's dictatorial views. Your freedoms, as enumerated in the Constitution, are being stolen by a group of radical liberals (aka Progressives)who have co-opted the Democratic Party. Vote these Progressives out of office on Nov 2nd, 2010! It may be our last chance to save the Republic.

Morning meditation blossoms into new song
I've always wanted to compose a song. A couple days ago during my morning meditations I was reading a Bible verse which began with: "This is what they sang: "Come, everyone, and clap your hands for joy! Shout to God with joyful praise!" I spontaneously started to sing the words to whatever notes popped into my head. About the third time through I thought, "hey, this is not a bad tune; I should scribble it down." Within an hour or so I had the melody roughed out -- in my mind that was the hard part; now all I need to do is build some harmony and compose more words. Morning meditations have enormously affected my life in a positive way! Thank You God!

"More Guns Means Less Crime"
"In the new third edition of More Guns, Less Crime, available from the University of Chicago Press, economist John R. Lott, Jr., easily dispels any lingering doubt that allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns is strongly associated with -- if not a direct cause of -- lowering the rates of violent crime."

Procrastinator Extraordinaire!
I need to return to one of the original reasons I started this Blog -- it was a 21st century method of putting my thoughts down on paper (electronic paper). It seemed to give them the essence of something tangible --something I could study. And, it kept me focused.
When I write down projects and tasks on an actual "To Do List" it makes a BIG difference whether or not things get accomplished. Conversely, when a "To Do List" exists only in my mind, days, and even weeks, could often pass without results. My wife would say the "real" time frame was much longer -- months and years, perhaps even decades, would pass before a task was completely finished. She's right. I am a procrastinator extraordinaire! Imagine -- Decades passing without closure! But wait? That may be my problem!
Some folks do not think procrastination is a Virtue (my wife for one). I obviously do -- or did, or do. I know, I know; I can hear some of you thinking: "that poor woman." Actually, I'm kidding -- a little. But, my dad taught me if something was worth doing it was worth doing right. I was naturally good at Procrastinating, so it made perfect sense to raise it to an art form.

This is GREAT!. I think I've gotten to the root of a life long problem. Procrastination is NOT a Virtue; it's a Vice! Now, how do I change my habit of Procrastinating to something positive? First, what's the antitheses of Procrastination? I don't know, and I am getting a little sleepy.
I'll tackle Procrastination Tomorrow -- along with focus.
