Do You Dare Or Go With The Flow

riding-a-camel-in-morocco — Riding A Camel In Morocco

Do you dare to do…what? Is going along with conventional ideas and pressures where you feel comfortable? That’s what is generally referred to as going with the flow. Following the crowd. Doing whatever, because someone else does. You get the idea.

The opposite for most is just too scary. Daring to do what you love absolutely falls into that category. What’s more frightening is most have no idea what they love to do. You’ve heard that question. If you could do anything you wanted and money was not the objective, what would you do? Suppose you couldn’t

When Will American Conservatives Stand Up To Leftist Liberals?

Wake up America! The Roman Forum has come to order. What has our current President done to anger the Romanesque conspirators? Are there any comparisons between Caesar and Trump? Let’s look at history.

First of all Donald J. Trump has never been any sort of military hero such as a Patton or McArthur, or for this comparison, Julius Caesar. While he may be seen as a

One more Bucket List item, or sorta, removed. Since the Ecuadorian Volcano, Cotopaxi, is considered in an eruptive state, scaling to the top is still off limits. No, there is no actual eruption, at least in the sense of lava flowing from the top. No huge molten boulders flying

What Is The Meaning Behind All Those Inflammatory Terms?

Lately the liberal media and left wing democrats have resorted to all sorts of name calling and term dropping like a bunch of Magpies squabbling over crumbs. These terms come so quickly to their tongues and writings. There’s a great chance most use these terms not fully knowing or understanding their meaning or implication. They’ve just heard others, supposedly authoritative figures, and decided they sounded good and adopted them.

These terms have been applied to most anyone

Discover If You’re Thinking Or On Cruise Control!

up-against-a-tree-before-being-up-in-the-tree — Up against a tree before being UP in the tree!

If you’re crusin’ then you’re loosin’! That’s one way to look at what happens if your grey matter is not fully engaged. So what’s going on up there when you’re just sitting, passively contemplating…nothing in particular? Have you ever noticed how your thoughts resemble popcorn? Thoughts jump randomly from one topic to another with no obvious connection. It may even seem like some sort of serendipitous place to be, as it rarely leads to the negative. How can that be known? Ahh…well personal experience of the writer is a great place to start.

Consider how many things you do on complete auto pilot? Are you thinking about your driving on your way to work, or shopping? How about the way you fry eggs, or toast bread? A good case can be made that the subconscious has taken over when you’re doing those things. That allows your thoughts to actually wander. The question is what happens

Are Major Retailers like Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, and others really in trouble? If you pay any attention to the news, the are. Why? Because they are closing down stores, and in the case of Neiman Marcus, supposedly putting themselves up for sale. However no concrete claim is being made just yet.

What is hitting the news is that this is all about a “soft economy.” Is it really? Are we just being introduced to another “flame” geared to scare the daylights out of all of us? Well, here’s a no nonsense

Where Will They Hide? What Will They Do When The Party Is Over For The Libs?

It’s pretty obvious the “liberals” want to eliminate all the opposition to their lawless agenda. They have been responsible by their very actions for the removal of more than 45 million potential adversaries over the last 44 years. Actions that support putting in place non-elected bureaucrats. Who uphold choices by these liberals to make certain this action continues to favor efforts clearly directed at the destruction of any conservatism in our society.

It has now degenerated to the point of an absolute depreciation of any semblance related to the values this nation was created with. The constitution is viewed as a relic of the past and basically worthless
