WELCOME

You are reading the thoughts of one who has kept them mostly out of the public venue. By virtue of the concept, blogs seem narcissistic so you can expect a lot of personal pronouns to show up.

I don't like being pigeonholed, though many have called me a conservative. I agree with much of what is often considered conservative views, but I do tend to occasionally differ on this view point. I have also been termed opinionated. Well, please remember this is my view, and I consider my view valid until convinced otherwise. That doesn't necessarily make it right; it simply makes it my view.

Please feel free to leave a comment.

NOTE: The posts in this blog are duplicates of the column I write for the Perris City News and Sentinel Weekly.

All right, let's get started. You are about to read neither the rantings of a madman nor the reflections of a genius. Perhaps somewhere in between:

Words of the Day

As a writer, I find it important to learn new words and expand my vocabulary. I subscribe to dictionary.com to receive a daily selection from word of the day. Many of the words are so esoteric that I have never heard them in use or even read them in print. Occasionally, though, a word – new to me – stands out as so appropriate to the time that I am surprised I have never heard it used.

Take the word deiform for example. Deiform, adjective: godlike or divine in form or nature. After the past six years, one might expect this to be a word used by Obama supporters to describe their idol. Well, maybe the reason we haven’t heard it used is that the lamestream media just aren’t all that literate. They use a more simple vocabulary of words like “great”, “wonderful”, and the biggest lie of all; “a leader.”

Here’s another word, more appropriate to the description of both Obama, and the lamestream media: mythomane. Mythomane, noun: a person with a strong or irresistible propensity for fantasizing, lying, or exaggerating. Yep, fits the occupant of the Oval Office to a Tee.

Let’s use these new words in a sentence. Barrack Obama describes his office in deiform terms, but in reality, he is simply a mythomane. Works for me!

Although other Presidents may have exercised the power of executive orders more times than Obama, he is the only one using his authority to circumvent Congress and the Constitution. Obama, in his deiform position deems the US Constitution old and outdated. This probably stems from his years of close association with subversive radicals.

Our constitution may have been drafted over 200 years ago, but it is a dynamic document capable of being amended. Since the Constitution’s ratification in 1787, it has been amended 27 times, the latest in 1992. The Constitution of the United States is anything but an old and outdated document. It’s just too constraining for Obama’s deiform personality and socialist designs.

As for being a mythomane, well, what can I say? Did he tell the truth about Obama care, Benghazi, the current Ebola problem, the IRS scandal, the Ukraine situation, etc, etc? And I am still not convinced about his birth certificate.

As tit-for-tat, his supporters always point to Bush 43’s waging war in Iraq over what they claim is non-existent weapons of mass destruction. It’s the big lie that the left says caused us to wage war against Saddam Hussein. Well, the “big lie” is that there were no WMDs in Iraq. Our troops had been finding chemical weapons since the beginning of the war. The chemical weapons used in Syria were manufactured in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

Did other presidents ever lie? Of course! Nixon lied about Watergate, and Clinton lied to congress about having sex with Monica Lewinski. Clinton and Nixon may have been pathological liars and sociopaths, but they didn’t intentionally mislead the people of this country into signing up for a destructive bait-and-switch tactic that will need to be undone by a future President.

If you have kept up with me this far, you are likely thinking, “this guy hates Obama.” Hate is a strong word. I hate driving the freeways. I hate airports. I hate Marxism disguised as socialism. Sometimes I hate getting up in the wee hours of the morning. It could be rightly said that I have a strong dislike for Barrack Obama and his brand of big government. I am certain he has earned the tag, worst President ever. The race-baiters, alla Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, would call me racist for my views of our Commander-in-chief. In truth, though, race aside, I actually believe our country is acephalous, and the guy in the White House is a pretentious deiform mythomane.

There you have it folks, two more words you can use in reference to Barrack Obama. I also use other words in that reference, but they won’t print them in family newspapers.
