Blood and Treasure: part II

2010-07-21T09:14:00.002-04:00

In Part one of "Blood and Treasure" I found it necessary to address the need for government oversite in military operations, the need for the congress to listen to military command, and the general strategy of the Afghan theater. As some members of congress, including both Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud of Maine, have voted to defund the troops as a cost saving measure, part two will...

Blood and Treasure: part I

2010-07-19T13:31:00.001-04:00

I must begin this article by stating that no civilized man enjoys war, or killing. No person in his or her right mind will advocate for the use of military force when other options are available to resolve issues between nations. For; there is no glory in the battle, no beauty or grace, but only fear, pain, loss and death. We do not want to place the lives of others in jeopardy anymore than...

Wind Up!

2010-05-26T08:42:00.002-04:00

This morning on the way to work I decided I should break from the compusory routine of tuning my radio to Talk/news radio. With the bright nature of this beautiful morn I simply wished to avoid becoming angry over the devilry that I was sure to be subjected to if any political news reached me. Sometimes.... You just have to say no. Instead I reached into my console and pulled out my old...

Yes on one blues.

2010-05-21T15:18:00.004-04:00

I stole this from As Maine Goes. The play on Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues video of the early sixties really made me laugh. I used to love that song, actually I still do. Anyway this is a very creative and fun vid that gets part of the message across. Cheers Allen

U.S Rep. Chellie Pingree’s partner Donald Sussman…….. This very first line from an article in the Kennebec Journal last Friday 5/14/2009, which reported a $100,000 donation to the No Higher Taxes for Maine PAC by Mr. Sussman caught my attention. That opening statement, is quite telling indeed, Yet many people do not know much about Mr. Donald Sussman outside of his founding of Paloma Partners...

Opinion: After the Nashville Flood, Where Is President Obama? - AOL News

2010-05-11T14:33:00.001-04:00

Opinion: After the Nashville Flood, Where Is President Obama? - AOL News The problem with the Nashville flood is that the people in Tennessee are not waiting around for the Federal government or the administration to save them. Instead, they are relying on themselves, working with their neighbors and families to lessen the pain of the tragedy. This spirit of self reliance, the spirit that made...

'Do You See A Trend?'

'Do You See A Trend?' First it was the "evil" insurance companies. Now it is "bankers." Do you see a trend? I have spent the last week meeting with some in the financial community. They are quite concerned with the way my opponent and President Obama are depicting ALL in the financial community. More so, members of Congress rage against the finance community while not...

A line in the sand..

2010-04-16T08:31:00.002-04:00

I cannot find a way to address the issue of domestic violence in soft or subtle terms. Perhaps, this is appropriate for the issue as it stands is not one of subtleties or nuances. There exists no delicacy in the act of a man beating his wife, or children. No grace or beauty in the aftermath, filled with tears, pain, and fear. Domestic violence is simply cruel, cowardly behavior, performed by...

Out of Touch.

2010-03-11T14:57:00.003-05:00

While I become more and more angered each day with the news from Washington and Augusta I slowly realize that I am not in touch. For if I was, the surprise, the angst, and ire brought on by false promises and rhetoric would not be so strong. Amidst the din and clamor of all the voices screaming, I have for two years tried to raise mine above it all, ever hopeful that somehow a modicum of reason...

I believe I’m going to run for Governor here in the state of Maine. Thinking long and hard about the current condition of the state and our people, I think it would be in my best interest to at least give it a go. I mean what’s to lose? The job pays more than my current one; the benefits are simply awesome what with healthcare, lifetime pension, and my very own state trooper to drive me around...

As I look out upon the frozen tundra that once was my lawn, and prepare to shovel the yards and yards of snow from my drive, I cannot help but wonder, where is all the Global warming? According to the "green" folks the temperature has increased so dramatically that we as a species are in great peril of extinction. Al Gore, that magnificent prophet of the movement, even went so far as to boldly...

Taxation with Representation

2010-01-13T12:26:00.002-05:00

In May 1764, Samuel Adams of Boston drafted the following: "For if our Trade may be taxed why not our Lands? Why not the Produce of our Lands & every thing we possess or make use of? This we apprehend annihilates our Charter Right to govern & tax ourselves - It strikes our British Privileges, which as we have never forfeited them, we hold in common with our Fellow Subjects who are...

Who amongst us can deny, that our government officials at both the State and National level, are out of touch with the people? Can anyone with honesty look to Augusta and Washington and say that they are doing a good job? I think not my friends. Not only have the politicians forgotten what it is like to earn one’s daily bread, but so too have they betrayed the very trust of those who elected...

Americans want to cut back government spending to sustainable levels | Portland Press Herald The above article by Dean Scontras is well worth a long hard look. For in it he explains fully the implications of our current and former governments failure to act responsibly. I cannot help but applaud Mr. Scontras' grasp of the problems facing our troubled nation. I won't even complain that through...

No Health Care in the Constitution

2009-11-15T09:09:00.001-05:00

No Health Care in the Constitution The above is an important and well written piece on the legality or better yet the illegality of the current Health Care Reform proposals. Would that I wrote it myself perhaps, if I had the money to retire I could have had the time. In any event it is worth the read, for it shows quite clearly that Congress and the Administration are in violation of the...
