Wise Advice From Chris Rock

In light of the events in Ferguson, Missouri, I thought it appropriate to share some advice from Chris Rock:

Unfettered Access to Life's Continuum

Two iconic people, two memorable deaths.

Life is experienced in the here and now, yet we attach such significance to one life over another.

Why?

Are our own lives so insignificant that we must attach a vaunted status to those we do not know, except in movies? Must we trivialize our own lives to think that others are more-esteemed than ours?

Robin Williams died in despair, thinking that the only way out of his life (as it existed) was by his own, self-prescribed death. What a waste of God's gift of life!

Lauren Bacall died as luck would have it, not by a means prescribed by her, but by one that was written by another Hand.

As fellow travelers in this thing we call life, we will always experience both ends of the human continuum. What matters most is to understand that there is a beginning and an end. We can control the end, if we choose, but we can't control the beginning, at least not by our own hand.

Is the ending of life on either end less tragic than the other?

What Does the White House Really Fear?

Call me cynical. This piece at Breitbart.com suggests the Obama administration is fearful of an impeachment push by Congress.

I think they don't speak about their fears. Lending credence to impeachment talk suggests that the Obama administration welcomes it. My cynical mind thinks that if they can goad the Republican-controlled House into initiating impeachment proceedings, it will help them politically in this year's elections.

Consider this: if the House initiates impeachment proceedings, the White House will rail against it as an extremely partisan effort to undermine his presidency, which, of course, would be true! But how would that play in this year's elections? It just might energize the Democrat base to counter an impeachment effort.

Personally, I think the process of impeachment should be left to the next Congress. If we can assume that Republicans win control of the Senate and maintain the House of Representatives, then I think we've got a good brew for impeachment.

In the meantime, I highly encourage members of Congress to talk about it. There's nothing like keeping the narrative going and goading the White House to go ahead and "make my day"! That day can play out after Harry Reid has his ass kicked in the 2014 elections!

Michael Bloomberg's Arrival in Israel

Notice that Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't need a teleprompter to deliver his salient points.

It's Time for W to Speak Out!

You know what, I liked George Bush. Hell, I'm a Texan! That alone qualifies me as a supporter of "W".

However....

Conservatism, or even "compassionate conservatism", is not something that becomes a narrative in the mainstream media. It must be talked about constantly!

For 8 years, "W" was in the White House. He could have espoused conservative principles in defense of all the attacks on him, but instead, he chose to "rise above it" and hold the White House and his position as President above the fray. Unfortunately, he is no longer above it all and is reviled as the source of all Barack Obama's failures. What an unbelievable narrative!

Barack Obama has done more to undermine our principles of government and demean the office of President of the United States than any President in the history of our nation! So much about a thought to "rise above it"!

Perhaps W's persistence in maintaining the decorum of office had an expiration date. An expiration date, I say, that expired the minute he transferred power to Barack Obama.

So now W enjoys his leisure, replacing his knees to be able to continue riding bikes. How virtuous! He can enjoy the camaraderie of the bike trail while watching our country go down the tubes...and say nothing.

Countless presidents are rolling over in their graves as they watch the disintegration of our country and all that they stood for. Just think about your life's work being unraveled and how YOU would feel!

Is it too much to ask a living President to defend our heritage and remind the people of the United States that we are much more than Barack Obama?

"Miss me yet?" ..........Not!

While I once thought that George Bush was the embodiment of a Texan, I now think of him as a worthless pussy. How sad!
