Heart and 'Soul'

It’s a story not heard in the news but a story that should be told - the tremendous amount of good being done in Iraq by our American heroes who often come home in bags for their caring and commitment to our country and our culture. Those who come home as survivors carry their own burdens that you and I might never know (God willing) or understand… unless we read Elizabeth Kilbride’s book, Soul of American Warriors: A Writer’s Journey Comes Full Circle.

Author, Elizabeth Kilbride was raised in a loving military family and currently lives in DC. When offered the unique opportunity to go to Iraq as a citizen journalist - no boot camp, no military

Is it fair to say people just don't care? Is it wrong to be angry about the shouting of folks who say they want change but clearly cannot vote for it? Is this a sign of things to come - this tragic the picture of how it has always been?

For the past 3 weeks the citizens of Texas, many thousands of which are tea party and/or 9/12 members, had the opportunity to make changes. We had a chance to make a difference, to elect a new leader, to make a stand. We were strongly positioned to show our power by insisting on a fresh vision, loyalty to the people, unpretentious character and constitution-based determination. I watched the numbers and saw the posts on facebook. I popped in and out from one candidate's fan page to the other to the other and like watching POTUS read back and forth from his teleprompters, was exhausted just from the movement. I was stunned and excited by the numbers released for voting in Texas. I heard somewhere that this election brought more people to vote than the 2008 presidential election.

In the past 12 months I have attended probably as many protests. I have seen people screaming, clambering and rallying for change right here in Texas. What a surprise to find that when it came right down to it.... The sheeple have spoken - the change rejected - the state sacrificed for another 2 years.
Texas is now supported by 30+% of federal dollars and $19 Billion in the red. But he presents himself well to those who just met him on the campaign trail, he ingratiated himself well with Tea Party groups, and he has great hair. Hey... Let's keep him! =-)

Wonder what it costs to live in VA?

Why Scott Brown Won

In America, we have a number of congress people who are millionaires, we have a president who is a millionaire, we have a federal reserve bank that just boasted $46.1 billion in profits. At our beautiful and luxurious White House, extravagant and stylish dinner parties are hosted many times a month to enjoy and congratulate one another for accomplishments.  One can easily see why, from these heights of the economic pendulum, our Government

Women Making a Difference

BY BEATRICE WILSON, CONTRIBUTOR, NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF CONSERVATIVE WOMEN

Sitting in my bed reading a book I am now compelled to put down, I must write.  This one thing, articulating with words, I can do in an effort to offer a perspective that perhaps you have not already thought yet.  Or perhaps my musings will make you sit up and act. Perhaps something that flows from me will make you realize we are not in this battle alone, and if you are not in this battle, you may be missing some of the most amazing people you might ever meet in your life!

In my journey I have met some incredible women I would not have met had I not made the conscious choice to see this thing through, come government hellfire or flooding from high-waters of

THE HUMAN CONDITION

So complex is the mind, so many are the choices that lead one to be who one ultimately is. Momentary choices - to love or hate; to have or covet; to give or take; to lead or follow; to judge…  Do we decide? Is it in our control? If it is our decision what would make us do what is hurtful? How could we
