Freedom From Above

On this Sunday, I am so thankful to God for his love and mercy. Make no mistake about it, without the hand of God, America has no help. I am also thankful for the great Patriots who helped forge this One Nation Under God. The more wonderful people I meet, the more my heart sings "I am proud to be an American". I am so thankful for all of the support and friendly faces I meet on a daily basis, ranging from Pastors to janitors. There is no unimportant work for God uses all for His glory, in His time. -- Michael Maggard -- Concerned American

Questions David Williams Cannot Answer...

Michael Maggard -- "Last I heard, you and the Speaker of the House brought home more goodies from Kentucky's supposively "balanced" budget than anyone?"

Senator Williams -- "Is that your question?"

Michael Maggard --"How much of Kentucky's $42 billion debt are you responsible for"?

Senator Williams --(babbling something about pensions...which is ironic) Note: Refer to Williams' support of HB 299 in 2005 which allowed huge public pension grabs for appointees.

Duty vs. Doodie

I just returned from a very eye-opening Teaparty event in Louisville in which several candidates layed out their election platforms. Well, sort of. Phil Moffett outlined his "four corner" platform, explaining State Sovereignty, eliminating the Kentucky State Income tax, introducing competition and accountability in the educational system, and streamlining Frankfort. Phil's opponent basically talked about all the people he knew in the crowd and how he was buddy's with Rand Paul. I couldn't help but get the sense that one candidate, Phil Moffett, is running for Governor out of a sense of duty. His opponent is a smooth talker and all, but his speece espoused a lot of doodie in my opinion. Being an Independent-minded voter, this is what I witnessed and you all know I call it as I see it. In this case, Kentucky has a clear choice for Governor in 2011. --Michael Maggard -- concerned Kentuckian.

Phil Moffett is Kentucky's Friend

A friend is someone who will tell you the truth. Of course there are nice ways of doing so, but in the end the truth usually hurts for awhile. If we accept the truth and make the proper adjustments, things are always better than before. Kentucky is very fortunate to have a friend in Phil Moffett. He doesn't sugar coat our bugetary problems or want to "kick the can down the road" like the current career politicians do. Phil has a commanding presence and reminds me of my High School Vice-principal, a man nobody dared to cross. Phil Moffett also has a humorous side as I found out today in Frankfort. I hope your enjoy the little video clip below and I hope you will consider supporting this great Patriot. Please go to www.philmoffett.com and help Phil to finance Kentucky's great and necessary campaign for an honest Governor in 2011. I am honored to recommend Phil Moffett to you as Governor of Kentucky and will keep my eye out for others just like him to run for other offices. It will be a difficult task indeed. Thank you Phil Moffett for your friendship to Kentucky. Win or lose, you are a great example and inspiration to many people. -- Michael Maggard -- concerned Kentuckian

Johnny Is a Good Kid

Little Johnny is a good kid, well normally. One day Johnny takes a pack of Big League Chew to school and shares it with his friends in History class. About halfway through a Civil War lesson Johnny becomes a little restless and proceeds to do entertaining, but irresponsible acts with his gum. By the time Lincoln has given the Gettysburg Address, Johnny has his own mess to deal with., gum everywhere. At the end of class the other students, who were so captivated by the war between the States, file out of the room disposing of their gum in the trash in accordance with classroom rules. The next day in class, Johnny’s teacher Mrs. Grant, announces that all gum is banned from her classroom, even though she strongly suspects Johnny as the rebel who perpetrated the gum crime. After all, teachers are not dumb. She considered sending Johnny marching home with a note explaining why he should have to stay after school to clean the classroom, but decided it against the idea. Johnny is a good kid, normally. Of course, the thirty other students are good kids as well and they follow the classroom rules. Twenty years later, Johnny finds himself in jail for vandalism, having not accomplished much in life so far unless you count having gum banned from his sixth grade history class. But Johnny is a good kid. He’ll learn someday.
