Fox News’s Old Viewership Is Getting Even Older

The New York Times took a look at the results for Bill O’Reilly’s show, which remains popular with overall audience of 2.1 million viewers.

Fox News’s viewership is aging out of … Continue reading Fox News’s Old Viewership Is Getting Even Older

Yin and Yang – The Basic Charactistics….

    The above graphic gives a pretty simple view of yin and yang.  The characteristics on the left side are Yang and the right side Yin. As indicated a healthy balance is required for a happy life.

Freeloading…

“You are right there’s been a lot of freeloading, but the freeloading has been by the biggest financial institutions who got bailed out by the American taxpayers, who broke the law and were never held responsible,” Warren said. “Here’s the key part — nobody went to jail for any part of this,” Warren continued. “The only people in America today who go to jail are … Continue reading Freeloading…

Would Jesus Support Execution???

The governor still spoke to the group, and was asked publicly how he reconciles the death penalty with his faith, especially given the fact that less than 5% of Americans think Jesus would support execution. It was refreshing that he didn’t have a good answer. It made you think he might not sign the warrants, that he might come to the conclusion of other governors … Continue reading Would Jesus Support Execution???

Big Government – Big Payback….

We all are constantly exposed to all those red State folks who rail against the big bad federal government. But who actually benefits from this bigness?

Do Active Christians Have a Place In Your Church?

This is a sincere question for church leaders out there. When you get a truly on-fire Christian who wants to get busy working in their community, using their gifts, and making a difference, what do you do with them?

Me Too…

“I’m worried a lot about power in the financial services industry and I’m worried about the fact that basically, starting in the ’80s, you know, the cops were taken off the beat in financial services.

They got bailed out. … Continue reading Me Too…

Inequality…

In a modern economy government sets and enforces the rules of the game—what is fair competition, and what actions are deemed anticompetitive and illegal, who gets what in the event of bankruptcy, when a debtor can’t pay all that he owes, what are fraudulent practices and forbidden. Government also gives away resources … Continue reading Inequality…
