I am told that even identical twins still have basic individual differences which still makes them unique in their own right.Lately, I have noticed something of a troubling trend between the two main political parties in this country.The Republicans and the Democrats, are beginning to think and act so much alike at times it's hard to tell the difference between America's two political parties. I am well aware that the Republican Party lost the last election and I am aware that one the reasons the Republican Party, may have lost the last election is because of the open arms attitude the Democrats, seem to display especially regarding the 11 million illegal aliens in this nation and the Democrats, would like nothing better than to use any means necessary to assure that the majority of these illegal aliens vote for them in an attempt at least, to permanently tip the majority of America's voting population in their favor.
While I realize that the Republicans, must find a way to appeal to the Latinos in this country and a more reasonable or realistic policy on immigration might be a good first step to do this, One wonder's just how far the Republican Party, may have to go as far as making realistic compromises on immigration is concerned. I realize that America, is a nation of immigrates and I know what the phase E pluribus unum, on the Lincoln penny as well as the Seal of the United States mean, out of many one, and I know the Statue Of Liberty, Says give me your tired you poor, your huddled masses longing to breathe free. I don't mind if poor immigrates from other countries huddle here as long as they do it legally.I don't mind giving the illegal aliens a path to citizenship but their path should not be shorter than all the immigrates who who are in line waiting right now who came to this country through the legal process! I should mention, that I know that the term illegal aliens, is frowned on these days and is not considered to be politically correct to those of the liberal point of view. I've never considered my self to be politically correct and I'm not about to start trying to be now. As far as liberal thinking, is concerned using the words liberal and thinking together in the same sentence is intellectually generous to say the least.
My wife Priscilla, is from the Philippines, and it took eight years and a lot of money in form filling fees to complete our present legal immigration process. Therefore, I am left to wonder why the path to American citizenship should be shorter for those who came here legally this whole concept, is alien in nature especially, when it comes to dealing with illegal ones, but that's just me.My real point is simply this,if Republicans, become so much like the Democrats politically speaking, that one can no longer tell them apart then perhaps eventually the only thing left for one to do will be to register as an independent As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.

It's A Dangerous World After All.
As a general rule I only watch FOX News.I don't bother watching the other lame stream media outlets and as a result I missed the interview with President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton on CBS"S Sixty Minutes. I was able to watch this particular Sixty Minutes, segment on one of the various news web sites on the net and after watching the Sixty Minutes, segment in question I concluded I had just wasted thirty minutes of my life.Steve Kroft, even admitted that the reason the President likes to go on Sixty Minutes, is because he knows he's not going to get any gotcha questions.I thought the interview was an embarrassment for Kroft as well as for Sixty minutes in general this Micky Mouse, interview was a joke a first year journalism student could have done a better job than Kroft did. Mike Wallace, must have been rolling over in his grave!
I've heard of softball questions, but this interview conducted by Steve Kroft, bordered on ridiculous. Talk about using kid gloves, I've had more serious and meaningful conversations with my ten year old daughter! This interview, was so soft at one point I thought Present Obama, Secretary Clinton and Steve Kroft, were all going to start taking turns playing patty cake. This interview was a clear signal to the democratic base to nominate Sectary Clinton, for the presidency in 2016. President Obama,scoffed at his Republican critics when Kroft suggested, that many of the Republicans, felt that Obama, was trying to down play American involvement in various conflicts around the world. Obama, pointed to the successful transition of power in Egypt as one of his major foreign policy accomplishments over the last for years.This transition, is so peaceful in fact, that the United States, is prepared to give Egypt 200 military tanks at no charge to Egypt, to keep that transition of power going smoothly.
Both the President, and Secretary Clinton, acknowledged, that they both lived in a much more dangerous and complicated world and they should know, because much of their foreign policy has helped to make the world that way.When Secretary Clinton, was finally asked about the failure in Benghazi, that resulted in the death of four brave Americans, including an Ambassador Secretary Clinton, personally appointed and called a personal friend, Secretary Clinton said, the whole experience was something she deeply regretted and she should, considering her failure to read the cables her friend Ambassador Chris Stevens, sent for months asking for her help went unanswered and I believe as a result, led to his death along with three other brave Americans.I found her statement saying she regretted the failure in Benghazi, strange considering that just last week, she asked Senator Ron Johnson, At this point, what difference does it make what kind of attack it was on the embassy at Benghazi. All in all, I found this interview to by quite typical for both the President and Secretary Clinton. Sixty Minutes, has become a journalistic joke and with junk like this on the air it is little wonder why Fox News, remains number one in cable news coverage. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain just, some words, to think on.

Does God, Play Favorites?
My wife Priscilla, and I both love our daughter Cassandra, beyond words.My wife and I often play a game with Cassandra. The game is called, whose girl are you? This question, is usually asked when either Cassandra's mother or I are spoiling her by giving her some thing we know she likes, we then as parents want to know which one of us Cassandra, loves more so we ask her,"Whose girl are you?"Cassandra, is very smart and she knows what we as parents are trying to do with that loaded question and therefore, when either my wife or I ask her," Whose girl are you?" Cassandra, always says right away BOTH! "I love you both the same!"
Sometimes, I think parents can and often do play favorites in a family, it's natural to prefer a child that is easy to get along with and doesn't disobey very often as opposed to having a child with a contrary nature one must watch every minute yet parents really should love each child in their family the same but parents are human, and humans aren't perfect therefore,perfect and equal love for all children is not always a reality.
I think often Christians, wonder if God, plays favorites with his children. I mean, think about it, why do some Christians, have all the money they could ever need seemingly perfect children and the nicest house on the block, while other Christians, my self included, seem to struggle for everything we need just to get by. Does this seem fair? Does God, play favorites with his children? One might be tempted at times to think so but the answer truly is no.
There is only one time in the Bible, when God, in his foreknowledge stated that he loved one person and hated another and this was recorded in Romans, 9:13 the passage reads "Jacob, have I loved but Esau, have I hated."Why would God, hate Esau but love Jacob even before they were born? The answer? God's foreknowledge God, knew Esau would see his birthright to his brother Jacob for simple food but what he really did was sell his place in the Davidic line from whence Christ, the Jewish Messiah, would come this was a personal insult to God even though God, knew it would turn out this way all along because of his foreknowledge. Consider now, the story of Job, in the first chapter Job by all accounts is counted by God as a just man Satan says let me at him and God, let Satan, take everything he had including his children and his health the only thing Satan was forbidden by God to take was Job's life.One finds however, that Job, was faithful to God, and as he result the Bible, says,in Job 42:12-15 that God, blessed job and restored him and gave him back double everything that had been taken including his children ten were in Heaven and ten new children were born to Job. Thus, one can see God, doesn't play favorites and is no one's debtor.
Finally consider the story found in Luke 15:11-32. This is the well known story of the prodigal son after a father divides an older and a younger son's inheritance, the younger son over some time goes out and lives it up and waste all his money and is near to the point of starvation as he heads home to his father. The father over joyed his son was back home safe and sound throws a big welcome home party. The Bible says however in Luke 15:31-32 that the older son who had been faithful and looked after his father's affairs for quite some time felt cheated by the father because he had never received a big party and he was the good son therefore he should have been the favorite right? One might think so but didn't the father divide the inheritance between the two sons? The father played no favorites here and the order son, should not have obeyed his father just in the hope of achieving favored status over the younger, so too, Christians, should not obey God, merely as a means to obtain his favor Christians should serve God because they love him and mature Christians should realize, that God doesn't play favorites with any of his children. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words to think on.

When Joni, Comes Marching Home.
Now that the ban has been lifted not only will women be able to serve in the military they will be sent to the front lines and they will now take participate in major combat.I realize such action was inevitable and I know we have women doing other jobs that were once predominantly reserved for males.I know we now have women who are firefighters police officers and women body builders. I've even seen women work on various construction sights and I know one woman who does construction work and she's a jack hammer operator.Now, that women will be serving in combat zones, it appears, they have broken one of the last barriers that society placed on them I suppose from the perspective of many women this is a great victory for them. I suppose one should say congratulations call me old fashioned perhaps, but some how at least in some ways, I think women may have lost as much as they gained.
I know for many years women have sought equality with men on all levels and I applaud them for their efforts. I am at a loss however, to understand why women want to be put in occupations that many times will only prove they can die just like a man can.The question for me has never really been whether a woman could be a fire fighter or a police officer or serve in the military in a combat zones I am sure many women are strong enough to do any of these jobs and I suppose if they really want to they should have the right to do so but many times I feel like that they then give up certain rights that made them special and worth protecting. Here is what I mean. Remember what a captain used to say when his ship was sinking? "Everyone to the life boats women and children first." chivalry, was the reason the captain gave these orders our society used to believe that women lives should be preserved at all cost so in times of peril they were often saved first. Now I suppose the captain would have to say after the children it's everyone for themselves.I think that at least some men in the military will have a hard time treating women in combat just like one of the guys some will have a desire to protect women and this will cause them to hesitate in the middle of certain combat situations and that one moment of hesitation potentially could get some good men killed.I realize we have an all voluntary military and no one gets drafted anymore so men and women sign up of there own free will and they both know the risk. I also understand that women want to advance there military careers just as the men do and serving in combat will mean greater pay and a better chance for for advancement.I suppose many women will be glad now because they will be able to prove that they are qualified to serve in combat zones. What a wonderful thing to celebrate now both men and women can both go into combat and die as equals then again, death makes us all equal doesn't it? As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words to think on.

Hilary In The Hot Seat.
I hate to sound like a political skeptic but if the recent Congressional hearings that supposedly had Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, in the political hot seat were supposed to answer any and all remaining questions as far as what really happened as far as Benghazi, was concerned, they didn't. I have to admit however, I was neither surprised or disappointed by the hearings. One might say, I got pretty much what I expected. I expected nothing and no real questions, were answered, that's what I expected and that's what I got! I'm glad I not not anticipate the hearings with any kind of great expectations. I would have been disappointed because the hearings were a lot of things but great wasn't one of the them and neither was answer filled.The American people, may never really know what happened the night of September 11. 2012 in Benghazi. I won't hold my breath waiting for real complete answers.
I thought Secretary Clinton, would really have to answer tough questions on Benghazi, but much of the hearings were devoted to fawning all over Secretary Clinton.The way the Democrats, in the Senate kept thanking her for her outstanding service as Secretary of State one would have thought she was being considered for sainthood by the Catholic Church. I was was impressed by Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, and I think the Senator Paul, was correct to hold Secretary Clinton, responsible for not responding to Ambassador Stevens cables from Benghazi, and I believe a case could be made that if she had read those cables and acted swiftly and responsibly and sent extra security forces when Ambassador Stevens, first asked for them he and three other brave Americans, would still be alive. I am left to conclude that she either did not read them or she read them but chose to ignore them in ether case, four Brave Americans, are dead and I too have to say if I were President, I just as Senator Paul said, would have relived her of her post
When Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, asked why the question as to whether the attack on Benghazi, was a protest that got out of hand or an all out terrorist attack was not determined and kept from the press and public until weeks after the fact when the evidence clearly suggested the White House, knew the truth almost immediately that this act was indeed an act of terror Secretary Clinton, basically said, at this point what difference does it make what kind of attack it was? I suppose in a strange sense she is correct , no matter what kind of attack was conducted on Benghazi, the fact remains, one American Ambassador and three other brave Americans, are dead but here is the difference that it makes If Secretary Clinton along with the White House and the President, would have went public and called this event the terror attack that it was ans sent appropriate military forces to deal with it right away one Brave Ambassador and three other Americans might not be dead! I wonder if the parents of these four dead Americans, are satisfied with Secretary Clinton's attitude and answers on Benghazi? I know I for one am not and I bet they aren't either. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.

God Is Calling America. Is This His Last Call?
As a person who tries to look at life with and optimistic attitude, I wish I could say with total confidence that America, as a nation still has her best years a head of her.I am a realist however and America, is clearly, now a nation in decline and if all things remain as they are now, I would have to conclude that America's best years as a great nation are behind her.
Over the last seventy years or so God, has been trying to get America's attention. God, has been fervently calling America, asking her to return to him. God called in the early sixties but America, did not listen and the Supreme Court, took God, out of the classroom. God, called in the seventies but America did not listen.Women, burned their bras and the NOW organization, marched for the equal rights amendment abortion became legal and gays and lesbians everywhere came out of the closet and marched in gay pride parades in the streets of San Francisco and even with the onset of Aids in the late seventies and early eighties America, remained defiant against God. God, kept calling but again America, didn't listen.God, called throughout the eighties and nineties but this was the me generation. Nancy Reagan, told children just say no to drugs but cocaine was America's drug of choice in the eighties and nineties and America, said no to God. God, finally got America's attention on September 11, 2001 that that attention only lasted about a year and then America returned to business as usual. America, is now poised for a total economic collapse with a 16 trillion dollar national debt coupled with an 86 trillion dollar debt in entitlement spending for Social Security and Medicare. America's debt to GDP ratio now stands at 103 and still climbing and though some responsible economist try to warn our leaders in government of our pending economic doom America, still refuses to listen or turn back to the God, of our fathers.
The Bible, tells of Jesus, as he looked over his beloved city of Jerusalem and wept and as he wept he said the following;" O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets and stoneth them that are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings and ye would not." I realize this verse is talking about Jerusalem, but God, could just as easily be weeping for America, right pleading for America, to change her ways and turn back to him. God, is surely calling but alas, America, still isn't listening.
Jesus, condemns the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida, for their refusal to repent and accept him as the messiah but he could also condemn America, for her unwillingness to repent and turn back to God. The passage reads as follows;""Woe unto thee Chorazin! Woe unto thee Bethsaida, for if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes." America, may not be stoning prophets today but her heart as far as God is concerned has certainly turned to stone and I don't see anyone in sackcloth but I think God's judgement is about to fall on America and when that happens all that may be left of America, are her ashes. Right now God, is calling America, to turn back to him but America, still refuses to listen and I'm so afraid for America because I believe god is calling America, and this may be God's last call. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

Is This The America, We Now Live In?
America, may not be totally dead yet but I think a strong case could be made that she is certainly on life support and could die sometime in the not to distant future.Whether we know or not very slowly over the years, the government has been on a subtle campaign to take away our basic rights.The constitution says, all Americans, have a basic right to freedom of speech. I find however, that lately, that seems to depend a lot on what is said, and who is saying it!
Professional golfer Phil Mickelson, dared to suggest recently, that he might quit playing professional gulf or at least leave the state of California, because the taxes in California, are particularly high on those that are considered wealthy. It seems, that Governor Jerry Brown, just like President Obama, wants to make sure that the wealthy in California, pay there fair share. I guess Phil, didn't think it was all that fair but it appears, that someone in the media or the press or perhaps someone in his professional inner circle persuaded Phil Micklson, to apologize for his personal statement on taxes in California, for he issued an apology as follows;"Finances and taxes are a personal matter, and I should have never made my opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and assure you that I intend to not let it happen again." Translation? Keep your mouth shut Phil, your a rich professional gofer and a popular celebrity who is supposed to follow the liberal progressive political agenda so shut up and fall in line! Really? This is the free America, we now live in?
I have noticed however that liberals,who are in lock step with President Obama's liberal progressive agenda for this country are free to say in word or in print pretty much, whatever they want to. CBS News Political Director John Dickson, wrote in his column for Slate if Obama, wants to trans form politics Obama, must declare war and the Republican Party, and he went on to say, that Obama, must pulverize and destroy his Republican opponents, if he leave any kind of legacy. WOW! so much for fair and balanced journalism at CBS and then they wonder why most reasonable conservatives prefer to watch FOX News!
Lets face it, America's freedoms, are under a serious liberal progressive attack. If the Republicans, are waiting for a good time to take a stand for a return to fiscally conservative principals I would suggest now would be a good time to take that stand while they still can otherwise it might be the Republicans, last stand.think about it, are Americans, really ready to be told what they can and can not say? Is this the America, we now live in? As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.

CBS News Political Director John Dickson, wrote in his column for Slate if Obama, wants to trans form politics Obama, must declare war and the Republican Party, and he went on to say, that Obama, must pulverize and destroy his Republican opponents, if he leave any kind of legacy. WOW! so much for fair and balanced journalism at CBS and then they wonder why most reasonable conservatives prefer to watch FOX News!
Lets face it, America's freedoms, are under a serious liberal progressive attack. If the Republicans, are waiting for a good time to take a stand for a return to fiscally conservative principals I would suggest now would be a good time to take that stand while they still can otherwise it might be the Republicans, last stand.think about it, are Americans, really ready to be told what they can and can not say? Is this the America, we now live in? As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
