Our culture continues to promote that success is based on the items and things you’ve possessed not how you’ve achieve them.  We see that in movies such as “Wolf Of Wall Street” and “American Hustle” but what is most disturbing is that it’s coming from our top leaders. For example the President has pushed through Obamacare in the middle of the night and is breaking his law just to get to the goals he wants.  We have our constitutional right to unusual searches and seizures being violated by the same government that is supposed to protect those rights.  Financial bailouts have made fortunes for the criminals who have put our country in the mess we are in, whether they be in the banking, auto or housing industry.

It’s time we look at success in a whole new light. Let’s applaud the small or big business that treats it’s employees and customers with dignity and respect at the cost of a profit line.  Let’s champion the father and mother who takes care of a sick parent or child instead of sending them off to a nursing home.  Let us stand up and applaud the politicians who sticks to the highest moral code even when those in higher power do everything to stop them. We see these heroes everyday their sacrifice in doing what’s right might prevent them from having the hottest car, biggest house and their achievements might not appear as grand but rest assured  their small steps are paved with the gold of truth, justice and dignity.

I have mixed emotions now that my son is moving out to the college life. Of course I’m excited for the opportunity this move will allow him but I can’t honestly say I don’t have reservations.  It’s great that this move will make him more independent but I still remember him following me around asking him to pick him up.  Community college enables parents like me to allow our child to become a man without having to move out.

All I can do is tell him how much I love him, how proud I am of him and let him know that even know he’s away that I’m only a phone call away.  I can blame my mixed emotions on the worries that college life brings like the drugs, and partying, yet I trust my son. The truth is my mixed emotions are truly that  I worry I will miss him too much.

I’m not a fortune teller but if we take the pulse of the American people and observe recent history Hillary Clinton will not be our next President of the United States. There are several reasons I believe that is so (listed below) but that doesn’t mean we who oppose her for this office should sit back and relax. We need to understand that history can be broken and therefore must put up a  strong candidate who is a bit unique, well spoken, honorable, some experience, and has charisma.

(1) Almost every candidate that the media has picked to be the front runner this early has lost steam and fallen off. The only exception is George H.W. Bush and the economy was doing exceptionally well.

(2) When the party picks the candidate who is “owed the office” they lose. This has happened with candidates such as  Mitt Romney,  Gerald Ford, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis.

(3) The dark horse with Charisma usually fights to the finish line but pulls ahead at the last minute. We can look at Barrack Obama &  Ronald Reagan as perfect examples.
