America’s Version of the Ouroboros – Deliver Us from Stupidity

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

By Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

The most read article I have ever written has only made it to my own website after being circulated around the internet for over five years. It has been published to over fifty other sites and read by about 350,000 people. It is entitled “7 Sure Fire Ways To Overcome Stage Fright When Speaking Or Performing” it was written and published back in 2005. Within that article I advise my readers a bit on how to look at a crowd of people with the following advice.

“See the Crowd as Only One Person: No science is available to prove how or why this little tool works, but be assured it will never fail. Always speak to the audience as if you were talking to only one single person. It makes them feel that you are being very personal with each individual; they can feel the difference. It shrinks the crowd on a perceptional level for you. Remember that perception is often the better part of reality. It moves the entire matter to a, one on one. Who wouldn’t admit that they are more comfortable talking to their neighbor or some stranger but not a whole crowd? Approach your performance or address as if you were doing just that and you will succeed.”

When writing, this rule also applies but what are missing are the eye contact and the verbal and emotional responses of the crowd. Yet, even for that, the statistics of an article, the feedback and the demographics of the readership says a lot. So what exactly does it say?

After publishing my latest article on June 7, 2011 entitled “2012 Presidential Choices – When Lincolnesque is Not a Luxury” I see once again that America is still not sure where she is heading as a nation. I was invited to discuss this article in a TV interview only one day after it was published because others have begun to notice that the economy is not the only big question in America.

Write Right, Part 3: Go Big Or Go Home

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Writing magazine-quality articles can be easy.

By ROB REILLY

In Write Right Part 1, I introduced you to what it’s like to write a Conservative political opinion piece and why you might ever want to do such a crazy thing. Write Right Part 2 covered pounding out the outline and summary paragraph.

Now we’ve arrived at the tough part…actually writing a story.

I thought the best way to get started was to dissect one of my own stories, so you can get a feel for the reasoning and rational behind what I wrote. You’ll see my passion. You’ll understand my thought process. Hopefully, you’ll be spun up enough to share your opinion. You can then take those concepts and techniques, along with your outline and get going on your own “here’s how I see it” piece.

Texas Drifter: America’s First Tradition

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Readers should ask themselves, would they be able to celebrate one special birthday this time of the year except for America’s First Tradition? What is it, one might ask? America’s first tradition will be identified after citizens understand threats to it.

Types of domestic threats to America’s first tradition include: counterfeit conservatives also known as Moderate Republicans or “Republicans In Name Only” (Rinos). The reason patriotic American conservatives need to be able to identify counterfeit conservatives is simple. The enemy from within can more easily destroy our constitutional republic than outside enemies.

The Left’s Mugging of ‘Free Speech’

Monday, September 27th, 2010

By STEVE Mac DONALD

The left has oft times suggested that we need transparency in political advertising.  That people deserve to know who is paying for a political ad.  While this sounds like a good idea on its surface the legislative remedies the pro-government elites tend to propose turn out to be the equivalent of using a sledge hammer to hit a thumbtack.  And their obsessive desire to protect and defend the government from the enemy that is the Constitution (I really think they should just change their oath of office to reflect that truth) will forever produce restrictions on speech that are unacceptable to anyone who understands the first amendment in even its most un-convoluted context.

No National Day of Prayer Says Federal Judge – America’s Identity Eroding

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

washingtonatprayerBy Rev. MICHAEL BRESCIANI

After Billy Graham led a rally in Washington in 1952 and called for a day for the nation to pray, President Harry Truman signed the National Prayer Day proclamation in 1953. The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed against the proclamation in October of 2008. Have they won?

Federal judge Barbara Crabb says they have. The ruling will not be enforced until any and all challenges to it are dealt with; including any opposition the Justice Department decides to muster against the decision. The White House says that President Obama still plans to issue the proclamation for May 6 of 2010.

With mid-term elections looming only months from now any decision to drop the day would surely add to the growing dissatisfaction with the Obama administration. The move to restrain himself is seen as politically motivated by most, and  it is not consistent with his previous stand on Christianity.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb in Madison Wisconsin said the proclamation “violates” the first amendment rule that prohibits laws respecting the establishment of religion. When President Ronald Reagan made the day permanent in 1988 no one could have seen the anti-Christian attitude that would prevail only a few decades later.

Walin’ and Flailin’ on Palin

By Dr. ROBERT OWENS

Sarah Palin made the mistake of being a self-made woman who actually accomplished things in her own right instead of riding her husband’s coattails.  She worked next to her husband founding and managing a small business that continues to flourish.  She was active in local school and community affairs.  She ran for local office serving as a council person and eventually mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.  She took on several positions in the state government. She resigned a high office to battle the insiders who had run the state for years. Elected Governor, she was soon the most popular governor in America.   She accomplished all this without using a family fortune, marrying for money or buying her way into prominence.  She achieved position and influence the old fashioned way; she earned it.

Journalist Calls for Rounding up “Hate Promoters”

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

naziratBy ROBERT STARK

Bonnie Erbe who is a contributing editor for U.S. News & World Report and hosts PBS’s weekly news analysis program wrote a recent article titled “Round Up Hate Promoters Now, Before Any More Holocaust Museum Attacks.” In regards to the recent shooting at the Holocaust Museum, Erbe has a suggestion, “Isn’t it time we started rounding up promoters of hate before they kill?” She also ties in the shooter in the museum incident with Reverend Wright.

Recently the Plains State ADL Director denounced the 1st Amendment by saying that “freedom of speech does not extend to racist groups, nor give their supporters the right to threaten and intimidate others or commit acts of violence.”
