		<title>CONGRESS II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sen. Ben Nelson&#8217;s hardly the only lawmaker extracting sweetheart deals out of the health care reform bill. While the Nebraska Democrat got a particularly juicy concession in exchange for a &#8220;yes&#8221; vote on the 10-year, $871 billion package &#8212; permanent and full federal aid for his state&#8217;s expanded Medicaid population &#8212; support from a slew [...]]]></description>

		<title>Environment/Global Warming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had had a hard time accepting the concept of global warming since it was first proposed years ago.  The main reason I had a problem was because I then worked for an airline – at an airport.  This is where the official thermometers for the National Weather Service are located – giant concrete [...]]]></description>

		<title>ECONOMY???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If it were not for Math and Science I could have been an “A” student all the way through college.  However, over the years I have learned some basics: 1 + 1 = 2.  1 Billion + 1 Billion = 2 Billion.  1 Trillion + 1 Trillion = 2 Trillion. Through my mistakes, I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preamble to the Constitution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is attributed to Representative Mitchel Kaye of Georgia&#8230; “We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Political Correctness and the Requiem for Common Sense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is now time to hold a funeral for Common Sense in America.  Others have written their obituaries.  Here I would like to offer some real life examples and ask, Where Did Common Sense Go? Personally, I believe that the cause of death for Common Sense is lawyers – the fear of getting sued, liability, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Afghanistan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AFGHANISTAN The United States is 12 and 2 when it comes to wars – we lost the Viet Nam war and just have not had the guts to admit we have lost the 40-year “War On Drugs”.  So what do we do about Afghanistan? First, we need to study history.  Since the 1300’s no one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Congress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our country was founded on the concept of “Citizen Legislators”, those elected by the people. Granted, it took a while for us to give that right to all our people. Now is the time for us to either return to our founding fathers’ concept, or, to formally recognize the current practice of “Professional Politicians”. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health Care Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[America! Please Stop! My Ears Are Hurting! The screaming from both sides of the spectrum on health care reform is hurting my ears, and my heart. Is this how we solve problems in America now? I don’t think so, Scooter. Can’t we try a little reasoned, common sense approach? Do we really have the best [...]]]></description>
