Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
The Future of this country could be in the hands of Nine people…..
Is this possible…
Could our future reside with just Nine people? How important could this be in regard to what the Democrats and Nancy P is doing in congress, check out this website. With the Democrats and their liberal agenda, will we need to repeal any legislation they pass?

Get Sarah Palins new book because it will drive the liberals crazy
Thursday, February 18th, 2010How to drive a liberal crazy? Just go out and by Sarah Palins book simple, for some reason liberals are just insane when it comes to Sarah…
Yes you heard it here first, the liberals tried to destroy this american woman who deserves all the credit and more for raising a family and doing a great job. One of the really funny things about this crazy beat sarah palin business is that every time the liberals try to hurt her, the opposite happens, she get more popular, If they try to hurt her book sales, she sells more books, so really they are helping her, so go ahead and hate you haters.
Breat Prices on Books used and new
The liberals crazies, do not like her because she is real, not a fake liberal, is that fair? perhaps it is, because they attack her at every turn and they try to hurt her but it all back fires on them, because that is the way the world works, when you are sour and hateful it will come back to you, call it karma, call it justice, but when you treat people like liberals treat people well you get what you deserve.
Like being voted out of office.
So liberal democrats, standing up in congress, pack your bags.
Harry Potter, will he make it?
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Did this author make a mistake in writing the last three books or as it is allegedly suggested by some did she actually write the books at all?
With the vastly different writing styles, the first two were very nicely done, yet they seem to have progressively become worse.
Is Harry potter larger than life? Some are asking questions about who really wrote the books…
Is dumbledore really dead, has the writer failed the people who love these characters.
Murdering them one by one because as the latest rumor goes, she did not write the books at all but they were written by a ghost writer, perhaps the ghost whisper could help us out here.
Some have said that the director of the latest movie should be fired…
We agree… But what do we know…
There are a lot of rumors out there,
You know, writers are always a little off in the head, at least that is what I have heard…
More so if you write something like the harry potter series and you go downhill, Well at least in the movie department, but still these books first became of note as a youth product, then I guess you would have to say a young adult product.
What is it about the author and her alleged propensity to want to kill off the most beloved of characters?
The under dogs if you will, you know the one’s people like the most, also while we are picking at the bones, for a moment, why is it seemingly one sided in the art department, at least with regard to those that would do good. It this something dark in the authors dark soul, (again alleged) it just seems odd that time after time and indeed year after year Harry Potter has learned nothing in the way of defending himself?
One such great author one time made the statement that what makes a good book good is if it is believable, or some such thing, or perhaps he said, what makes a good plot is if it is believable, If you can believe it, it can be good, but if it is not believable like how one sided it appears to be in the harry potter series, If you doubt that last, just count how many from the dark side have died, in the movie and book that is.
How many good characters have died? How the author has threatened to kill off one major character per book till the bitter end of the series. what is up with that, could it be a reflection of an unhappy life, personally I like harry potter and the other characters, but the author seems to just hate them… One has to wonder about freudian aspects of her childhood…
But that is a different story…
In the mean time hate it or love it, harry potter appears to be surviving at least for the moment.
How long before they start burning books again?
Monday, November 9th, 2009Some people wonder about book burning, knowing the history behind it and how fascism, seems to be at the root of this particular evil, we have to ask, just how long will it be before the liberals once again start burning books.
History can be a scary thing…
Learning to understand and remember more of what you read
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009Have you ever read a book and later could not fully recall what you had read?
There are many different reasons that this could happen and there are also many reasons why a subject might not be able to fully concentrate on a book.
That can happen for a number of reasons the chief of which is that very often people fail to actually understand what they are reading.
This can sound a little crazy, however it is the truth, people many times joke about falling asleep while reading a book, however the joke may be more real than funny.
One of the causes of this issue is that the mind is not concentrating on what the eyes are trying to read, this is a problem and it could be fixed, imagine if you could remember more of what you were reading, imagine how smart you would be. The truth is that it takes a good deal more than just telling your brain that you want to remember more, you have to be prepared to study and read if you really want to learn and remember what you read.
Unless you really want to fall asleep, do not read in bed.
If you are reading a really scary Stephen King novel, do not read at night, (unless you really want to)
Seriously though, siting up straight in a well lit room, be well rested and if you realize that you are not understanding what you read then it is time for a break.
I know many times where I would literally see the words on the page begin to blur and then I would read them over again, and again and still not know what I had read when you get to that point in the process then you need to realize that it is time to rest until you can concentrate on what you are doing.
That is one of the most important things you can do.
