It’s snowing in this part of the country where I live, Southwestern Michigan. I love it!. I state this because my last entry had to do with the fact that we didn’t have snow in this part of the country and I really did (and still do) believe that it’s all about the snow as far as living here in Michigan is concerned. Granted, I live in the most Southwestern part of the state but it’s still Michigan. And so I can say that my prayers are being answered. We are getting some snow. And it’s actually accumulating. As a matte of fact, we’re supposed to get at least 10 inches by tomorrow night. I had my doubts but after this evening, I think we may just get those 10 (if not 12) inches of snow.
Enough about snow! Let’s get back to some real issues. And I’m not referring to the Oscars. Nor am I referring to the Social Security debate. At least not today. No. What I’m referring to is Michael Savage.
Not only has he gotten very vocal about his feelings about President Bush but it seems as if anyone supports anything the President does, well, it’s wrong!
Now I can understand what he’s stating except this man is intelligent. This man has a Ph.D. That’s Doctor’s of Philosophy degree for those who haven’t been exposed to the facades of higher education.
It’s one thing to merely create a niche apart from the other talk show hosts out there. But it’s another to become blatantly anti-Bush and literally equate our current President as being the same as if we would have had a Democrat in office.
Again, nothing wrong with this take. We are America. We are the good ole U.S. of A. But the point being, Michael Savage has represented the conservative take on our current events. But now, mostly due to President Bush’s lack of a very definitive course of action regarding illegal aliens (which I think the Republican party and President Bush will address) Michael Savage has been vocalizing his feelings about the current administration.
Now it’s not that Michael Savage is saying President Bush’s administration has the same effect as if we would have a Democrat in office. But his comments are coming off as if that’s what he’s saying.
I’m really not sure now what Michael is trying to accomplish. At first I thought it might be that he is trying to establish a niche for himself, you know, trying to distinguish why he is different from the other talk shows out there. But after listening to his show this evening and how hard he came down on a caller who merely mentioned the fact that he thought he (Michael Savage) was being a bit too hard on the President and now on Rush Limbaugh, I’m beginning to think that Michael is demonstrating some insecurity. I don’t know?
I really have enjoyed listening to Savage. But with this new attitude of attacking the President and talk show hosts who support the President, well, it leaves a “bad taste in my mouth.”
Now, I’m not saying that I won’t listen to Michael Savage. I’m reading his first book involving the current political environment and culture, “The Savage Nation.” But if he continues to come down on anyone who even questions his motives or actions, I don’t know, this could very well be the same as dealing with the Democratic Party. No real tolerance for any difference of opinion.

Writer’s Block // What’s Wrong With Snow?
Alright, you’re probably asking, “What Kind Of Topic Are We Discussing Today?” The Weather? Snow? How Does This Have Anything To Do With Contemporary Issues?
Well, let me start out by saying that I am not an “Eco-Terrorist.” I am beginning to understand that the “rhetoric” being used by the “Global Warming” crowd is just that, “Rhetoric!” In other words, they have an agenda. And everything is dependent and contingent on that particular “Agenda.”
After a while, it becomes obvious what that particular agenda really is, to halt productivity in the lives of everyday Americans! And yet, every time the accusations appear in the press, they sound very convincing to a lot of Americans!
You begin to think that “There truly is Global Warming!” The earth is getting warmer and there must be a link (a connection) between the increase in the temperature and our using carbon based combustible materials.
But then I look at the wording of the article. For example, Drudge has a connection today to a report provided by NASA, which states that the average temperatures are the highest since the 1880’s! They are the highest since the 1880’s? What does this tell me? This tells me that maybe, just maybe, the warming trend has something to do with natural cycles rather than anything to do with modern technology! No one had any real modern technology in the 1880’s!
But then this sort of information doesn’t really matter if there’s an Agenda to get through!
Well getting back to the original question, “What’s Wrong With The Snow?”
I state this question because lately I hear it so often. And it’s not as if I’m in a section of the country that is normally warmer during January and February.
I remember winters that were really cold and the ground was covered with snow and ice from around Christmas week all the way through late February to early March.
But if you were to listen to the “mainstream media” of the day, you would think that we’re living under unusual circumstances because it’s not 60 degrees or so. Really, just make a note the next time the weatherperson indicates we may be getting a snowstorm soon. You would think that it’s a National Disaster! What gives here? I really don’t know!
All I know is that it started to snow this morning and I am grateful to God that we finally got some snow in Southwestern Michigan in the middle of winter, February 9, 2005.
I am grateful because I can worship, pray, play and work just about any way I feel true to my heart about.
And yet I really do believe that the people we knew (before they died) are still out there observing what we do. And then the most holiest of Saints, The Blessed Virgin Mary, is there to help us guide along. She guides along a brand new constitution. I guess what matters most during those times (as well as now) is that they be as objective as they can be.!

Writer’s Block //Life is Too Short No Matter What and Yet It Is Beautiful!
I just came back from a wake held for the father of our pastor, who passed away last week. This individual was just a few years younger than my father, 89. My father, who passed away last August was 91.
My initial reason for attending this wake was to honor the life of the father of my pastor, who came to visit my father a few days before my Dad went to join my Mom in heaven. (and I truly believe that there is a heaven and that my Dad is there with my Mom).
But I have to admit that once I got to the funeral home, I began to see who this person was, how he lived his life and appreciate the beauty of his life and experiences. The main reason for this experience was the fact that this individual began to write down his life history, his family history, all the way from his birth back in 1916 and he had this in writing for everyone to see.
He began to work on this sometime after he retired, close to 20 some years ago. Of course, it helped that the personal computer came along and he could begin to use a word processing program to record these thoughts and events and be able to make additions along with corrections along the way.
I walked away from this wake truly feeling as if I knew this individual. I wished that I could do this for my family. I really hope that I can live long enough to do the same for my family.
My father lived with Dementia for the last few years of his life. My sister and I really didn’t know it until 2 years before he passed away. Now looking back over the past 6 years or so, we can see that our father began to have some dementia a few years before, while our mother was still alive.
And yet, the one thing that I have to admit is that my father could remember events that occurred long time ago, despite the fact that events occurring only yesterday or last week were harder for him to recall. But this was a blessing and an opportunity for me because my father’s defenses were down. My Dad would relate things and events that occurred long ago, in his past, events that he would have been hesitant to relate ten years previous. And so I would record these events for myself.
After this evening, I am even more motivated than before to chronicle as best as I can the events, the chronological history of my family. As my Father would say, I want to be able to relate the “Ten Fingers” story.
My father always talked about how he and my mother came to this country with only “Ten Fingers.” And it was those “Ten Fingers” that were the tools, the instruments, that they used to give birth to and raise 2 beautiful children and make a life that everyone who came in contact with, could enjoy and be lifted up to go and do more and better in their life. If there is one thought or main theme that comes to mind when I think of my Mom and Dad it's that "Hope Springs Eternal!"

Writer’s Block//Conservatism – Really Now!
I just read a great article about the founder that could very well claim to be, at least by the “New Republic,” the founder of what we refer to as “NeoConservatism,” or more commonly known as NeoCon Politics.
I have to admit that I am what might be referred to as a NeoCon, at least by the standards established by this New Republic essay. I truly believe that the Republican Party represents the future of our country. I truly believe that the Republican Party is the progressive party of our time. The ideas that will benefit our present as well as the future come from the Republican Party. The ideas that will benefit our future are the ideas that will benefit the majority of people in our current society.
For too long, the Democrats have had the monopoly on being out there for the “little guy.” Well, let me declare once and for all, (for whatever it is worth) that the Democrats are not in touch with REALITY! They may think that they are out there for the “little guy,” but they don’t understand the reality of the situation nor do they appreciate the everyday challenges and opportunities the “little guy” is faced with! I really don’t want to get that personal about all of this but I need to expose a little about my own personal life to get this point across!
I, along with my wife of 33 years, am probably in the lowest tax bracket one could be. Now I’m not complaining. I feel very blessed and very fortunate for the opportunities that my wife and I have been able to take advantage of. And I feel very fortunate that we are able to have our own home and cars and be able to travel every so often, etc. etc.
Of course, the ability to do these things is a combination of 33 years of marriage and also being helped by my parents. And I really need to emphasize this point, the help of my parents.
It has happened recently that my father has passed away. An amount of monies were set aside for my sister and me as a result of his passing. Actually these were monies that were set aside by my mother, in the form of an IRA.
Now, for privacy matters, I really don’t want to get into revealing the actual amount, but I can say that by contemporary standards, it was average. I personally feel as if it was a large amount.
The point being is that this amount is taxable by the U.S. Government. Yes, it’s taxable as ordinary income. Yes, it’s only taxed at the 15% rate, which is low. However, as far as my family situation is concerned, it’s high.
I will end up paying a 15% tax on the monies I received. Thank God there isn’t an Estate Tax, which the Democrats had in place over the past few years; otherwise, I would lose even more of the few dollars I received to begin with.
During the last campaign, that is all one would hear from the Democrats, is that the Republicans are the Party of the rich! The Republicans are the party of the big corporate chiefs! You got the impression that the Republican Party consisted of only people who had a lot of money and just sat around watching their stocks get better and better. Well, if that really is the definition of the Republican Party, then we have to start calling a lot of Democrats, Republicans!
For example, Senator Feinstein from California is not exactly a poor person. She has a lot money in Oil Company related stocks.
Senator Kennedy isn’t exactly a poor person. He’s a 3rd generation child living off of an inheritance that is making money from a trust fund that is earning monies and growing from the profits of money market and mutual stock funds which in turn earn their profits from corporations that do well and make a profit. But you won’t hear that from the illustrious (hic!) Senator from Massachusetts.
And speaking of Massachusetts, we have the former Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, Senator John Kerry, who claimed that he was for the working class, the poor, the downtrodden, and the everyday individual. Yet Senator Kerry could not live the way he does without the monies he receives each month from the Heinz Ketchup foundation. He married into the Heinz Ketchup family by marrying Teresa Heinz (who became Teresa Heinz Kerry).
Yet he talks as if he really understands the average worker. And the sad thing is that there are average workers out there that believe this crap. They actually believe that these Democrats are really concerned for them. These people actually think that the Democrats are for the people, by the people and of the people. Yeah, Right!
How come most of the Democratic Senators and Congressmen are millionaires? Why are they so concerned about my welfare and yet don’t really seem to give a hoot if I do well once in awhile? Let’s face it; the Democrats want me in my place!
The Democratic Party really wants the average guy (or woman) to be just where they are! They want us to stay in our place. That’s really where they want us to be! They don’t want us to advance and do better in life. That would involve them to deal with us as a threat. I know this sounds harsh but that is exactly how I feel as a lowly citizen.
Now when I think of myself as a Republican (which this year I can officially say that I am since I’m going to pay some dues, like $30) well, I do not feel as if I’m a lowly citizen but rather a CITIZEN! A VOTING CITIZEN! I have a voice in what goes on in Washington as well as what goes on in Lansing, Michigan, which is the capital of my home state!
But with the Democratic Party, I am a Victim! Life is depressing! It’s all downhill! Everything is going against me! I’m only an individual and I can’t do anything without the Party and the democratically controlled government, which is what the Democratic Party has had a monopoly on for a long, long time! Let’s face it, this all sound so very much like coming out of the Karl Marx playbook! I mean really, is this not the “Communist Manifesto?”
I’m sorry but the Democratic Party is so off base!
Yes, I used to be a Democrat, many years ago! And some years back I switched parties without even realizing it. And now I have finally come to an understanding of why I switched. I really do hope that over the next few weeks and months I can reveal why I switched parties. But for now let me just be able to say that "I have seen the light! "

Writer's Block//Christian Century Equals Democratic Party?
I am on a roll tonight folks!
I just want to note some observations and criticism I have for the periodical, "The Christian Century." I don't have a link to the magazine right now but I promise that I will provide one in a future entry. (I don't have it available at this moment because I'm not at my home workstation).
But these guys are really trying hard to be "posterboys" for the Liberal Democrats.
It seems anything President Bush proposes requires the same response as the Democratic Party gives.
For example, the current issue just has to come down on the President's Social Security reform. And their criticism of the President's mention of reform is so similar to Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Levin and Byrd that one almost wonders if they have a Hotline to the DNC office in Washington.
I will get into more discussion on this later when I get home (that is on "The Christian Century."

Writer's Block//Savage Slams Bush!
Just want to note here! And this really only applies to all of you Talk Radio fans out there.
But what's going on with Michael Savage lately? I used to like him a lot because he usually "tells it like it is". But as of the past few weeks (maybe a month or so), he's gotten really critical of President Bush.
METHINKS that he's trying to create a separate niche in the Talk Radio marketplace. In other words, distinguish himself from Rush (who I think really hits on the nail) and Sean Hannity(whom I also like) and others (a la, Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, and William Bennet's "Morning In America"). But why so hard on the President.
I know your being honest. But right now, with the Democrats out there (or the Demoncats as you like to call them) constantly preaching Gloom and Doom to the country and constantly attacking anything the President tries to accomplish, I think we need to support him as best as possible.
I was listening to him this evening, reviewing the State of the Union speech from last night, and he just seems to come down on the whole Iraq issue and constantly harps on the Illegal Aliens.
Well, Dr. Savage, the President did address the Illegal Alien issue last night and it's open for more discussion and debate. The key is that it's ON THE TABLE!
And as far as Iraq is concerned, I have to disagree with the Dr.! When we stabilize Iraq, there will be a Domino effect on the other Middle Eastern Countries and we will sleep better at night and will improve our own national security without having to constantly look over our shoulders, so to speak.
If anyone out there is a Savage fan please let me know what you think.

Writer's Block//Gloom and Doom Democrats -- Part II
Ok! So here we are -- February 3, 2005. It's the day after the President gave one of the best speeches he ever gave. Actually, it's one of the best speeches that any President has given in the 56 years of my lifetime.
And then, right after his ebullient, uplifting, positive, "answers to problems," "providing a vision,"confident delivery of a speech, we get to hear (and really wince at) Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi! PLEASE! I mean, talk about the doldrums! (From their demeanor and delivery, I was wondering whose wake they just attended? Maybe their anticipating the Democratic Party's wake?)
Now, I'm not really hoping anyone from the Democratic Party takes my advice (of course, I don't really know why they would anyway?) but guys, if you want to win some elections here, you at least could come with some stronger leadership.
Is this the party of the future? Is this the party with a positive outlook for this new century? What happened to Clinton "bridge into the new millennium!" Somebody must have bombed the bridge out for that bridge!
And talk about Gloom and Doom! Talk about Negativity!
And what the Heck (I want to use much stronger language but one my children tell me not to) is this hangup on an EXIT STRATEGY? Come On Guys -- the President has an Exit Strategy -- It's Called Victory!
They just don't get it!
