Civilizations of the world are in a new phase of an ongoing cultural meltdown and < s t 1 : c o u n t r y -region>America is leading the pack. A revolution typically begins with a relatively few people and grows as others identify with the ideals, moving toward certain ideals or goals.  Like a cancer it spreads unless and until there is intervention. As an example, the cultural upheaval of the 1950s and 1960s beginning with Elvis cracking the walls of convention is addressed in this book.

     However this current phenomenon is very different because it has no direction, no identifiable goals. There is currently a free-wheeling-anything-goes mentality raging throughout a large segment of the population in America and the world seemingly based on nothing more than how disrespectful, how weird, how physically ugly, how vulgar, how offensive, how irresponsible and ignorant can each individual be, and how much can each get away with? It strives to obtain nothing positive. Coupled with this are generations of Americans who expect everything and contribute nothing. Throw drug and alcohol abuse into the mix and we have an attack from within that is shaking the foundations of  < / S P A N > < s t 1 : c o u n t r y - r e g i o n>America.  This has nothing to do with race, it crosses all boundaries. It is a cultural problem.

     America is under multiple attacks from outside. But possibly the greatest threat is the disintegration from within. How many more blows can America withstand? America is not going to fall off of the face of the earth, but will you want to live in a second or third rate America, or an America under the financial or military control of  a foreign power? This book suggests some possible ways and reasons for offenders who are weakening America to straighten up and fly right! Without intervention it is my opinion that America is headed for a fall

This is a true story about a two year old little boy. This little boy was our son. He has past on. I had a vision for his life. There was this unthinkable darkness of his life which was revealed at a later stage of his life. It was a time of darkness for me until the darkness came to the light after his death.

About “Say It Like It Is.”

 

 

Over the course of the past fifty years, “Political Correctness” has morphed from a social nicety to a national enforcement of stupidity. Due to political correctness, common sense has become less important in our society than the need to be hypersensitive to each and every group of minorities within our borders. 

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          Liberals have worked slowly but steadily to promote and further the asinine concept of political correctness and have been successful in implementing it. We are so sensitive these days that the mere mention of a nationality or a particular behavior has people gasping and whispering words like bigot, hateful and intolerant. As a society, we’ve forgotten how to speak to one another in a truthful and direct manner. As a result, we have countless “Interpretational breakdowns” or “Misunderstandings” on a personal, professional and political basis every day. These “Misunderstandings,” as Liberals call them, are the result of our inability to actually convey our thoughts and intentions in a direct and non-politically correct manner.

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          Sensitivity to the most mundane and insignificant aspects of life has turned Americans into a weak and litigious people who are neither respected nor respectable. Few people in our country actually have the inner fortitude to ignore the Liberals rules regarding speech and “Appropriate topics,” and actually, “Say it like it is.”

& n b s p ; & nbsp;          I hope to point out how accustomed we’ve become to political correctness and how completely asinine the whole thing really is. Political correctness is the best example of what happens when Liberals work to gradually normalize and institute a concept that has had nothing but detrimental affects on our country.

Where has political correctness led us? It’s no longer acceptable to call the Chinese, Chinese. We can’t refer to a Black man as a Black man. The word criminal should no longer be used to describe an individual who breaks the law. Pride in < s t 1 : c o u n t r y -region>America is far less PC than an animosity toward it. No blame can be put on those who choose to act in an unacceptable manner. We’ve been trained to think of wealthy people as bad individuals and poor people as victims. Armed conflict is no longer seen as the protection of our way of life as much as it is seen as an attempt on the part of our evil leaders to conquer and occupy foreign lands. Political correctness teaches us “Tolerance” and “Diversity,” and we can see where that has led us. The teaching of manners and discipline to our children are foreign concepts to today’s parents. What used to be black and white is now a fuzzy shade of gray. Obvious facts are now extensively debated. And common sense…just take a look around.

Our society is inundated with news stories of atrocious behavior. Rapes and murders and school shootings, molestation, terrorism and hatred toward our country by its own citizens are all crops we’re currently reaping. It’s to be expected after sowing the seeds of political correctness for half a century.

Take some time to think about what we’ve been conditioned to think and how we’ve been trained to talk. This is a perfect example of the implementation of liberalism on American society. It’s not good. It’s destroying our strength and our unity. It’s very likely to destroy more than that.

It’s time to ignore political correctness and just say it like it is.

Russell H. Conwell’s “Acres of Diamonds” has become popular several times in the almost eighty-five years since it first appeared in print. I read it sometime in the 1950’s when it was considered one of the best inspirational works ever and came across it again in the 1980’s. When I found it again in 2004 as a work now in the public domain and apparently destined for oblivion, I determined to accept the challenge of its preservation.

 

Acres of Diamonds is the tragic story of a well to do farmer who, gripped by an almost obscene obsession, sold everything to search for what the new owner of his farm found in his own back yard - the worlds most lucrative diamond mine. Russell H. Conwell told this story from the stage to  more than 5, 000 spellbound audiences over a period of many years, gathering and adding other local stories of those who missed out on opportunities at home to fruitlessly search for wealth afar.

 

Robert Shackleton, tells the story of Conwell his friend and neighbor, author speaker, lawyer preacher, Civil War Captain, founder of Philadelphia''s Temple University, biographer and colleague of several US Presidents, friend and acquaintance of enough famous people to fill a couple of chapters of “Who’s Who”.

 

Among Conwell’s early friends was revolutionary activist John Brown who may have been more responsible than any other individual for starting the US Civil War. The old song said;

John Brown’s body lies a molding in the grave

His soul goes marching on.

 

It is my hope that through this book, so too will the soul of Russell H. Conwell.

Why did Hurricane Katrina tell us so much about what is really happening in America today?

Why are we not getting the leadership from those we have sent to the helms of our federal and state governments to represent us?

Why are there so many more people finding it easier and more worth while to not work and let the rest of us take care of them?

What do we need to do to help America back up! 

A Missing Piece of Jigsaw:

The Birth, Life and Death of a Destructive Relationship

 

An anthology of didactic poems written over a two year period which illustrates the desperation and predictable demise of an emotionally abusive relationship, along with the gradual destruction of a trusting nature; this work was published to offer solace to others in a similar situation.

 

The reader should attempt some critical analysis around the role of the victim and of the 'missing piece of jigsaw'.

 

 The respondent displayed a range of narcissistic traits as well as compulsive lying and the catalyst for the end of the relationship was participation in a lie detector test (see page 36: ‘I didn’t do anything’). Responses are expressed in italic font and a single contribution from a third party (the lie detection consultant) is presented at page 56.

 

Readers might identify a range of other issues including insecurity, dependence and love addiction and the author hopes that this work will helpothers in a similar situation to work through their pain through examination of a dysfunctional relationship that nearly cost the author her sanity.

The State of the Union is a book about the present leadership, and the history that we have experienced from the 90s to 2006. The book is about politics, government, and the history of the nation.  Plus, some of the things that are left out in the history books in a time when technology has improved for people to be free and able to report.  This book is for people to understand some of the history that you may have missed or have not kept up with the whole time. I separated the book into the various chapters, according to the dates they occurred, and how I felt that day when I wrote it according to how I understood the news reports.  A lot of news has compiled, and a lot of people are still very confused about the State of the Union and of the World.  The environment is going to be the biggest challenge for the future.  At the same time, there is a common agreement that the government in the < s t 1 : c o u n try-region>United S t a t e s < / s t 1 : p lace> has misinformed us, spent a lot borrowed money, and there are officials that have abused their power.  Too many issues have come up, and the government is having a difficult time on being fair, and there is a growing movement in the < s t 1 : c o u n try-region>United S t a t e s < / s t 1 : p lace> for individuals to raise and become leaders. The World is changing, and this is a unique time. Enjoy the book.

This book is about how the Bush administration used September 11 to get away with anything it said or did. It is also about how September 11 became a turning point in the relations between the United States of America and the whole world. It is about how this administration went to war against Iraq and pretended that war was urgent as Iraq was an eminent threat and had weapons of mass destruction. It is about how this adminstration worsened the ecomony of the United States by its practices as well as the ecomony of the world. This book also shows how this adminstration helped increasing the tension between Americans and other races, especially Muslims and Arabs. The book also deals with other incidents like taking 400 girls from their mothers in Texas ploygamist ranch, which the author sees as an act of discrimination and injustice.In his book, the author mentioned that politicians usually lie about most of the things they say. For example, Is it ture that the former White House Secretary did not know the whole truth about the lies concerning Iraq? It does not sound reasonble that he just found out about that at this time. This book was written and published before knowing anything about the former Press Secretary's book.
