		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been watching a movie, and you realize what’s going to happen next, before it even happens? Well, truth be told, that doesn’t happen to me too often. I’m usually not too good at predicting movies.  But real life; well that’s another story. &#160; I wish I had a blog back in about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I’ve read a few articles over the last few weeks about the “War on Christmas.” I must admit, on this subject I’m basically winging this. This is merely my raw, un-debated, un-researched, off-the-cuff expression of my emotional beliefs in this matter…which may actually be better in this discussion. &#160; I will admit right off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have all heard that we are known as a government “of the People, by the People, for the People.” But that phrase is not found in The Declaration of Independence or The U.S. Constitution, so what does it mean?  Its meaning becomes crystal clear when you “read between the lines” of The Declaration of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always been troubled by the debate over whether or not abortion should be allowed in America.  The problem with this debate is that it’s simply emotion vs. logic in many ways.  And I want to make crystal clear, up front, that I do not harbor ill feelings towards any woman who has had [...]]]></description>
