A Comment About Making Government More Effecient

Jeremy — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:44:35 +0000

Sometimes the complaint comes up that the Federal government has too much “gridlock” or “partisanship” and they just can’t get things done. Often it follows that they need to figure out how to be more efficient and start working together. Last night, President Obama devoted a portion of his speech to this topic. About 50 [...]

A Quick Comment About My Experience At The Maricopa County Republican Convention 2012

Jeremy — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:52:12 +0000

Yesterday I attended the Maricopa County Republican Convention to show support for Ron Paul. Here’s the Facebook comment I made after returning: Went to the Maricopa County Republican Convention this morning and Ron Paul supporters were out in full force. He was the only one with signs posted on the streets on your way to [...]

Mitt Romney Will Not Solve Our Financial Crisis

Jeremy — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:45:18 +0000

Some Mitt Romney supporters I have talked to say that one of the reasons they support him is because he will fix the federal budget. They claim he understands economics and is a smart businessman. After all, as governor of Massachusetts he walked into a huge budget deficit and balanced it by the time he [...]

The Bible & Ron Paul

Jeremy — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:51:35 +0000

I recently came across this awesome video series that shows how Ron Paul’s positions best align with the Bible compared to other candidates (thanks to RonPaulFlix.com for sharing it). It is REALLY well done and worth the watch for all Christians. There are 13 short videos that discuss various topics and the moral, Constitutional, and [...]

What Is A Right? And What Does It Teach Us?

Jeremy — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:44:44 +0000

An acquaintance on Facebook who is trying to understand what rights are a little better, made this comment: I feel most of the problems with government today could be prevented/solved(?) if we really, truly understood just what our “rights” are and from whence they come. I’m still trying to enhance my understanding of what a [...]

You Like Ron Paul, Except on Foreign Policy

Jeremy — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:14:11 +0000

My last few posts have been focusing on foreign policy. I’m emphasizing it because I think it is the biggest obstacle for Republicans (most Independents and Democrats have much less of a problem) in supporting Ron Paul. Not that my only goal is to get people to support Ron Paul, my goal is to get [...]

A Radical Experiment in Empathy

Jeremy — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:48:37 +0000

This is a similar post to my previous one. The video below, like the last one, imagines what it would be like to have some other military forces occupying our land. But this one goes further and tries to put you in their shoes, in their lands, and see what it feels like for them [...]

Do unto others: Our Foreign Policy

Jeremy — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:46:33 +0000

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is sometimes called the Golden rule. Different forms of this rule exist in most, if not all religions, Christianity or otherwise. It is a simple, yet wise test for judging one’s actions when interacting with others. While it is important to apply this [...]

A Comment About The Education Bubble

Jeremy — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:59:14 +0000

On my company’s social network today, an article was posted about “The Bond Market on Education.” The article mentions that student loan bonds are a bad bet for investment firms because there are an increasing number of student loans being defaulted on and that it’s going to get worse. The company I work for is [...]

This Is How We Support The Troops

Jeremy — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:39:55 +0000

I’ve often been baffled at how easily people buy into the myth that “Support Our Troops” means we must “Support Our Wars”. Those phrases are not synonymous. I support our troops and that’s exactly why I want them home, with their families. As I posted before in “Presidential Candidates Claim To Support Our Troops, But Who [...]
