Doctor Tom's Rant

There is a pervasive sickness in this country, a sickness that is fed by envy, jealousy, fear, hate, unabashed aspirations, and political corruption. The basis of this sickness has been present since biblical times but has been developed, sharpened, and improved in the 20 th century and modified and disturbingly molded into an art form by disgusting and despicable people in the 21 st century. I speak of the continuing assaults on people's character by those who wish to destroy an opponent in any legal and occasionally illegal way possible. I say “legal” because I feel many of these attempts fall just short if not under the category of defamation of character in the legal sense. Character assassination is a political tool used most effectively when the user has no possible record to stand behind and therefore his supporters dig up dirt, often from the depths of decades gone by. Even if there is minimal or even no dirt to spread around, innuendoes, fabrications of facts, and out...

If 47% of Americans do not pay taxes because most of them are considered below the poverty level, just think of when that percentage rises above 50%. One of the most profound statements ever said or written in regards to this issue comes to mind at this time: "When one robs Peter to pay Paul, one can always depend on the support of Paul."

That was the largest increase that we have seen since the US government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. #3  It isn’t just the ranks of the “very poor” that are rising. The number ...

So I guess I'm the umpteenth person on the internet to start a blog. I can tell you now that I do not speak with a forked tongue. My sincere interests are duck and quail hunting, dog training, and inventing, but I probably will revert to what I hate the most, politics. I just can't stand what is happening in Washington, DC and how its tentacles have wrought such chaos throughout this country. The basis of my beliefs is that God must love ignorant and misinformed people because he made a lot of them. I figure it is my job to educate them if they wish although I doubt most of them can even force themselves to even listen to anything out of their comfort zones. What will be written here will be mostly education material for those who really want to know what is going on in this country, what policies are being brought to bear on our society, and how we should react. But before, we can react, we must have the facts, as true as they can be. Along with truth, you will find my o...
