A Grandfather's Memorial Day Prayer

Blessings to you and your family on this "special day" of the year.…

Some people have asked me why I am so persistent in posting a note everyday on my Facebook wall that says, "Mr. President, bring Bowe Bergdahl home." Perhaps you have read it a couple of times and asked yourself, "Who is Bowe Bergdahl, and why is McManus so obsessed with him?" Perhaps you don't even read it anymore as it has become so familiar and expected, it is not worth another thought.

I think Bowe Bergdahl is important, and his release from his Afghan captivity should be the…

It is a stated objective of President Obama and of the Democratic Party to nationalize health care.  They came close to getting it while they still had a veto-proof majority -- they jammed Obamacare through Congress. 

 The election of 2010, however, gave Republicans control of the House, and it gave them more power in the Senate, which means the issue is still alive – they can delay the implementation of Obamacare; after the election of 2012, they could possibly overturn…

It’s Memorial Day 2011. As you read this, you’ve either been to a cookout this weekend or are planning to attend one today, or both, or you’ve hosted one or will be hosting one today – or both.

It’s a three-day weekend, so you get an extra day off and you’ve a short work week ahead of you. It’s also the unofficial start of the summer season. Schools are winding down and vacation plans are being made.

It’s just another Memorial Day weekend.…

I have been writing since the uprising in Egypt that the Muslim Brotherhood and shariah Islamists are taking control. I have been and remain concerned that the Muslim Brotherhood is the best organized and funded political party in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is committed to the destruction of Israel, the United States and the imposition of shariah law across the globe. Now we learn from ALMASRIALYOUM.com that, "Muslim Brotherhood…

A few Memorial Days ago, I was sitting comfortably on my sofa, enjoying salty snacks and a refreshing sweet tea while watching a program honoring our military on TV. Mary would inform me when the charcoals were ready to throw on the steaks. Life was good.…

At the risk of being burned in effigy and being ran out of town tared and feathered I would like to point out the folly and the danger of voting for any existing party candidate,

I see a lot of folks take a lot of stock in candidates like Gingrich and Palin when these two candidates serve as an example of why we should all avoid like the plague when considering who we should vote for to lead this nation. Gingrich is an easy one to eliminate as a potential candidate to vote…

If all the people in the USA need National Healthcare, why not put everyone on Medicare and make it better? The President and Congress and all federal employees, Military and yes, Unions, also everyone in the 50 states. Then find a way to stop the robbery by EVERYONE INVOLVED,  including elected officals, hospitals, doctors and other providers throughout the nation, also the People? My point is simply this, Medicare and Social Security was robbed by a lot of dirty, rotten, filthy people, but…

Florida has a large and growing number of citizens on Medicare and Social Security. I live in Sarasota, Florida, which is demographically the oldest county of the over 3,000 counties in America.

I am on Social Security as is my wife. My wife's 86 year old parents are on Social Security. We all receive benefits from Medicare. But I and my family understand that Medicare is unsustainable. I and my family understand that if Medicare goes bankrupt we will have no medical coverage. That…
