Amputating Your Arm . . .

Thomas Sowell has written a great article "A Sound Economy?" about the soundness of our economy. The article begins with an answer to that question:"Yes. We’re not even in a recession, much less a depression." It deas with how liberals seem to always mess the economy up. To put it in simple terms he states, "If the Left succeeds, it will be like amputating your arm because of a stomach ache." Over time we've sure lost a lot of arms. Read it. Sowell gets it right!

Voting Troubles

I honestly can not figure out why so many states have so many problems with voting. Arizona, I believe, has no problems or minute ones that don't affect the outcome. Our ballots are easy to fill out and easy to count. What's happening with the rest of the country? Today there are numerous problems with voting machines and ballots. Maybe we should hold a seminar for the rest of the states.

The Future Is Today

Well, the interminable campaign season is finally over. The choice is so clear, but it looks like more people have been more taken with fancy rhetoric than with rational thought. Of course I can understand their need for someone to "fix everything" and provide them with a couple of chickens in their pots. This morning I was listening to talk radio as I made my coffee and the host played an interview with a woman who had just voted for Obama. She said, and I quote, "With Obama I won't have to pay for gas or pay my mortgage anymore." WOW! No more personal responsibility. I can't wait to not pay my mortgage, too! What a wonderful world. Tomorrow I'm going to call American Express and notify them that the government will now pay my bill. I'll also call all my utilities and tell them the same. I want a car I can't afford because Obama will bail me out.

A lot of people have been hurt by the economic fallout and I understand that they blame the Bush Administration. And I also understand that because McCain is a Republican they wrongly associate him with Bush and FEEL a need for a change. That's a problem with electing a president and every other official for that matter. Our feelings change with every situation. Every situation. We wake up on the wrong side of the bed and don't feel like being nice. Just because we don't feel like being nice doesn't mean we shouldn't be nice. Doing the right thing has absolutely nothing to do with feelings, but our country now counts feelings better than rational thought.

Congress is forever enacting feel good laws without counting future costs. Why? Because being touchy-feely makes them feel good. It really is about them; getting re-elected specifically. Great harm is being done to our country. It will only get worse with an Obama presidency and Democrat majorities in Congress. Especially if Republicans lose enough Senate seats to no longer be able to filibuster bad ideas.

I'm not looking forward to this Obama presidency, but I have great comfort in the assurance that God is in control. In fact should Daffy Duck (aka Joe Biden) become President I still have assurance that God is in control. He is in control and He knows everthing that will happen. He wants us to have faith in Him that He knows what He's doing. And pray.

Goodbye Gray's Anatomy

Gray's Anatomy has been one of my favorite shows from the first episode, but episodes this season have greatly disturbed me. Two of the main characters have embarked on a lesbian relationship. And shockingly the writers have been educating us on just how to have lesbian sex. There has never been anything about how to have heterosexual sex, so why this? (I would be just as offended.) I hurt for young children whose parents let them watch this. They are being bombarded with confusing messages about sex. Instead of learning about healthy sex within the bounds of marriage, they are being told that anything goes.

I no longer watch Gray's Anatomy I'm sorry to say because its stories and character development have been compelling. This story-line, however, is not. So, goodbye Gray's Anatomy.
