An economic strategy that just might work, Part 3

Please let’s keep this thought in mind: Let’s remember innovations create inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. And all in turn create employment and empowerment for American workers! Please let’s remember it. And return to it, an embrace it, like we did before ― when it led us to greatness as the number one nation in the world!


If there is one thing that our nation has proven time and time again, it is the fact that in times of crisis, we come together better than any other nation in the world. And through the use of teamwork, supporting each other, love ― and prayer, we have overcome all obstacles. So we know we can, because we have done it many times before!

Let’s remember our strengths, which are numerous and down-right awesome:


1. Our nation, which is 235 years old, is a young nation in comparison to the major countries of the world. Many of them were born before Jesus Christ ― our Lord! Yet, in spite of the short time of our nation existence, as well as the fact that our nation started with a small group of poverty-stricken, religious outcasts, it has developed and grown to become the richest, greatest, and most powerful nation in the world: The United States of America is analogous to the boy, who graduated valedictorian of his high school at the ripe old age of eight, earned his Ph.D. at the age of 12, became a multi-millionaire with two more doctorate degrees by the age of 15, and became the riches, most respected, most envied man in the world before his 18th birthday. And, moreover, he did it while having fun with his friends, and protecting them and himself from bullies. This is the collective genius of our nation!


2. The people of our nation understand teamwork better than people in any other nation. Time and time again they have proven it. And the crises they overcame during our nation’s brief history, along with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are testaments to this fact.


3. The people of the United States are the most creative group of people in the world. They dominate the world in all aspects of culture, and they are the most influential. They set the trends that all others follow.


4. Our nation can bring the richest and most diverse perspectives to meeting challenges and problem solving. We are the most intelligent and intellectually diverse nation in the world. Additionally, more Nobel Prize Winners work for the United States than for any other country.


5. The share size of the intellectual resources in the United States (the number of universities, colleges, technical schools, academies, conservatories, public schools, private schools, job training centers is second to none. Can you imagine how formidable this nation could be if we made the concerted effort to get all these intellectual resources working towards the same important and strategic goal? Imagine these intellectual resources, along with industry, government, labor, and the citizens of the United States, embracing and working towards the same goal: This goal ― Create and promote a climate that is conducive to the growth in innovations, which in turn will create inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. And all in turn will create employment and empowerment for American workers!

I can add more to our list of strengths, but by now I think you get the picture: We have the ability, and we have the know-how. All we need is the resolve.

We should remind ourselves of the words in the Nike slogan ― Just do it!

Republican Party and Christian Values

Image
Dear Republicans, or “God-Fearing, church-going, law abiding, moral and ethical citizens, who diligently practice your faiths by living in accordance with the word of God,” have you read Matthews chapter 5 – lately? It would be helpful if you reflect on verse 7 ( Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.), verse 8 ( Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.), and verse 9 (Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.) Instead of aggressively trying to prosecute Secretary of State Hilary Clinton for emails she erased from her personal server, it will be helpful if you recall that the last Republican President (George W.) and his secretary of state were so fast asleep at the wheel that 9/11 occurred on American soil while they were snoring. Note: The Democrats or “the secular party” showed mercy while acting as peacemakers in the months and years that followed. In spite of the fact that during that time period George W. started a war in...

An Endangered Nation

          I love quality debates. I love debates in which two debaters, with opposite points of views, present their arguments – each clearly and concisely articulating interesting, informative, persuasive ideas, supported by cited respected research. Oh, I love the feelings of sitting and listening to the first debater, in a cool, calm, coherent manner convincing me that his side of the argument is correct. “This is good stuff!” I find myself thinking, as his presentation sways my thoughts in his favor. I am convinced that he's going to win! His argument is so good that I cannot envision him loosing the debate.      Of course, my opinion changes a few minutes later, as I sit and listen to the second debater delivering the opposing argument. His delivery, which is as thorough, thoughtful, interesting, and persuasive as the first debater’s, pulls my thinking in the opposite direction....

One "Christian Nation" Under God?

Image
  I am always amazed by the fact that although we call ourselves  “a Christian Nation”  and we boast about the fact that we have more churches in the United States than any other country in the world, the teachings of  God , the Father, and His Son,  Christ Jesus , play minor roles in the integrity and spiritual correctness of our moral decisions. For example, it does not appear that we ask ourselves questions like  “What grade would Jesus, who knows what’s honestly is in our hearts, give us for the policy decisions we’ve just made?”  " How would God feel about the Republican Party's intentional attempt to create a health care policy that is going to result in pain, suffering, and death for millions of Americas?"    “Are our policy decisions concerning entitlements, tax cuts, voter ID laws, immigration . . . in accordance with His teachings?”  “Are we conducting ourselves in compliance with the example He modeled on Earth?"  "Ar...
