The Rodney Dangerfield of World Dictators

Moral Relativism...to the Extreme by Eric Power

Hitler performing the Macarena. Yes, he
 invented it too! What a hipster!
You know who gets absolutely no respect these days?  The Nazis. I mean sure they did some bad things, I get it. But what about all of the good things that Hitler did?? Not just for Germany, but really, for the whole world. Let's look at a few of them here.

The Strawpocalypse! Strawmageddon! It's StrawTastrophe!!!

The Final Straw by Eric Power




Well, now! My Father’s Day 2018 was quite the eventful one. Yes indeed! We took our first step onto the “Butler County Donut Trail” with Milton’s Donuts in Middletown, Ohio. I may be a tad biased, but they make probably the most exquisite tasting donuts ever. .Seriously. They’re phenomenal. Then we had some great fun at a Dave and Busters-style place called Scene75 with some video games and laser mazes. And then for lunch, we indulged in a nice guilt-ridden lecture from a California wannabe environmentalist at a local restaurant in the area. I thought they served burgers, but hey, I guess I read the menu wrong.  So here’s what happened.

Ted Cruz Is The Zodiac Killer?!?


But I Saw It On The Internet!! By Eric Power


The similarity is striking....! Ok no, not really.
I take back everything positive I've ever said about Ted Cruz. To think that he is so diabolical that he could actually be the Zodiac Killer, who started his murder spree in 1968, (some say as early as 1964) when Cruz was born in 1970. I mean, really, you just can't get any more evil than that! Killing people before you were even a twinkle in your Daddy's eye. I mean, isn't that the Republican way, after all??
Bad, Cruz, bad!!!



Okay, clearly, this story is preposterously and obviously false.

The Case For A Constitutional Revival



I'm going to cut right to the chase. In a nutshell, I think that Donald J. Trump is a living, breathing nightmare. If it comes down to Trump and Hillary or Sanders, I am stating unequivocally and without regret, I will not vote for the Donald. I cast my last vote for the (slightly) lesser of two evils for the last time in 2012. Never again.

The Refugee Dilemma: Should We Host Them Here?

Wolves In Sheeps' Clothing? By Eric Power


There's much to be said lately about the relocation of Syrian refugees into our country. Most of it involves shaming people for being cold hearted and uncaring. Another, thankfully smaller, portion involves blind racism against anyone who remotely resembles middle eastern ethnicity. So where does the real debate lie? I guess it really comes down to this question. Do you trust the administration and more specifically, the bureaucracy, to properly vet the refugees?

9-11-2001: A Remembrance; A Look Forward

A Reckoning is Coming by Eric Power

14 years. 9-11-2001 was 14 years ago today. At times it seems like it was a thousand years ago and other times, like it was yesterday. God bless all those who perished and the families they left behind. God bless our soldiers who still fight to this day, this never-ending war against Evil. An evil, like ISIS, that has distilled itself into a demonic purity. Raping women. Children. Crucifying them.
Drowning Christians in shark cages, while videotaping their deaths. Immolation, decapitation; nothing is taboo for these cretins. This battle has never been more clear than it is today, yet it seems so muddy in the way that we compromise and negotiate and turn our heads from what we should be taking notice of. It's the epitome of irony that on this anniversary of 9-11, we are on the precipice of a deal with Iran, which will effectively hand to them the nukes to vaporize Israel, all the while claiming it will stop them from reaching that goal. Our "government" is crafting this suicide pact while the Iranians are publicly screaming for the death of our nation, as well as Israel's.

Defund Planned Parenthood! How Can This Continue?!?

Normally, I take great enjoyment in producing my articles. From the formatting, to finding pictures, blending humor with my written word and my picture captions, and providing links for the evidence that I've researched. With the topic today, I just can't do my usual production. There is no humor to be found in this issue, and no related pictures that I care to caption. I can only write of the raw emotion that comes from learning of this particular subject.Here is a link to the Center For Medical Progress, the organization that has done the investigative exposé, to see the videos in question. This is something I was strongly compelled to write, from a few different sources; I wasn't about to say no. Please take something away from this! I've never really been one to ask people to share my posts; I'm asking you to please share this one.  It's vitally, crucially important on a national scale that this conversation starts happening, sooner rather than later. Thank you!

Update: 8-20-15 I've recently created a Pinterest board for my blog; apparently the only way to pin something is for there to be a picture within the link for it to "pin". So I've added one picture to appease the Pinterest devil. Ugh. 

Lions Over Lambs by Eric Power


     
The recent events involving Planned Parenthood and the video documentations of the vile practices that occur there have, quite frankly, left me thoroughly despondent about the future of our society and mankind. I just can't fathom how to combat this perfect, pure evil that would make Hitler and Stalin envious.
Furthermore, the pitifully tepid response that the videos have gotten from our country, as a whole, is horrifying and quite revealing of the downward spiral into Hell that our culture finds itself in. If something such as this cannot pull us back from the brink of darkness, then I surely don't know what will. The videos are unspeakably horrific, each one released more grotesque (either in word or deed) than the last. I can't imagine how it could get any worse; are they puréeing them for smoothies?? Soylent Green??? (I apologize for that mental image...but what could possibly be left?!?) We can't be bothered to care about babies being chopped up by these vampires and sold to baby part ghouls, but somehow the national fur flies when a lion in Zimbabwe is killed during a hunt by some dentist from Michigan. If it didn't involve such a ghastly, macabre state of affairs, it would be laughable. When I recently came back from my self-imposed exile of news/current events and all things political, I thought it was bad then! It has deteriorated rapidly since September of 2014 and continues to do so with no sign of slowing, let alone halting. ISIS torturing and slaughtering Christians by the thousands, mass riots in America, movie theater and church massacres; it is quickening to a breakneck pace towards absolute damnation.

There's No Place Like Home

Home Security In The (Crazy) Modern World by Eric Power




Since October, I've been working for a major package delivery company in the residential delivery division. In my eight months on the job, I've made some rather interesting observations. The house is always the last one on a very long street. It's always the apartment on the third floor (no elevator, mind you) at the very end of the hall. It's always the dining room table or an equally heavy item that has to be delivered to the house atop a steep hill with 35 steps to the summit. The packages that require a signature are never home. MOST dogs are all bark and no bite; they lighten up once you throw them a Milkbone. Last, but certainly not least, I've noticed that more than a few people are completely oblivious about their home and personal security.

Living In An Upside Down World

Fluid Reality by Eric Power


I'd like to make an announcement. I've decided it's time to come out and identify my true self. I want you all to know that I self-identify as a Martian. I know the struggle! The thin atmosphere. The cold, cold nights. I stand in solidarity with
The New ME!
my Martian brothers and sisters! Now I know what you're thinking. "But his parents are human!  He looks human! He is human!!" And you are correct. But that doesn't matter anymore. All

Battleground: Monroe, Ohio

The Decline of Internet Civilization by Eric Power

There is a heated debate going on in the town I called home for the last 12 years. Monroe, Oh is verging on a civil war over an issue that has been at the forefront of the town's (and my) attention for the past few years. In 2004, the newly-built conglomerated school campus opened for business, leaving the century-old building and 29-acre campus empty and slipping further into disrepair. 10 years have now passed since the transfer, and the building is on the verge of being condemned. The Board of Education of Monroe has waffled between letting it rot, selling it, repurposing it, or gifting it to a private or municipal entity. Since 2011 (at least that was when my awareness came into being on the matter), my church, Monroe First Church of God, has been interested in purchasing the 29-acre site, encompassing the old high school and all the surrounding outbuildings. We have outgrown our current home; this facility would really allow our congregation to "stretch our legs" and hopefully increase our community outreach as well. The controversy stems from the fact that the BOE would be selling the property to a church, hence violating that well known clause in the Constitution, say it with me now, the Separation of CHURCH and STATE. Oh...hey wait a second...I've got my handy pocket Constitution right here...Bill of Rights....1st Amendment...okay okay...oh! Oh, uh...no never mind....hmmm...dagnabbit! Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, it seems that there is no such thing as the Separation of Church and State in the Constitution of the United States! Don't believe me huh? That's okay, I understand; it's a deeply grounded myth...go ahead, look it up...yeah I'll wait...
