As the year draws to a close, I am not defeated: I am RESOLVED. I am resolved to be even more outspoken, and more insistent. In “Macbeth,” Shakespeare wrote, “Screw Your Courage to the Sticking Place, and We’ll Not Fail.” And that’s what I mean to do.
The simple fact of the matter is that TRUST is an important component to happiness. You have to be able to TRUST that those around you are being HONEST with you. The fact of the matter is that there are HONEST people left in the world, and they far outnumber those who are not honest.
SOME people freak out if you say “Merry Christmas.” Not ALL people, mind you. Just the ones that get off on making a stink about how Politically Correct they are. If you want to say “Happy Holidays,” go for it. But why should I have to conform to your well-wishing manners? How does my “Merry Christmas” affect you? It DOESN’T!
Whistle Blowers are NOT rewarded for revealing the misdeeds of others, particularly when it relates to Liberals and their pet projects. Whistle Blowers face persecution from the public, from the individuals they accuse, and PROSECUTION under the law, even if the EVIDENCE they provide is reliable. Let me rephrase that: When it comes to the Liberal Agenda, Whistle Blowers face PROSECUTION under the law, ESPECIALLY when the evidence provided is reliable.
“Social Justice” is perceived by many as a “Leveling of the Playing Field,” the idea that every person who does a certain thing should achieve the same results, but this is an inherently flawed idea. Over the next few paragraphs, I’ll be explaining exactly why this is the case.
“What’s so great about Retirement?” Think about it for a moment. If you are one of the millions who work for the weekend, living paycheck to paycheck, what do you have to look forward to with retirement? Sure, you’ll have the TIME to do all of those things you put off throughout the years, but will you have the money?
Medicare is thought by most to be “Free” Healthcare for the elderly, and, I’ll admit, I once believed that. In fact, I believed that the only cost to the individual to get Medicare Coverage was taken during the years they are working through the FICA Withholding. But, like many who believe these things, I WAS WRONG!
Happy Thanksgiving. Today, I will simply give you this: The Words of our First President, George Washington, as he declares this holiday in 1789, which occured 168 years after the FIRST Thanksgiving that you’ve all heard about from 1621. I urge you to consider how much our Nation has changed since those earliest days, as well as how much has remained, and should remain, unchanged.
