R.S. Helms Commentary

There Is No One In The House Empty Chamber (between the ears) When did you last study the lists of headline news stories coming from your news feeds?  It is getting to be an act of terrorism to post these ‘teaser headlines’ many of them have no relevance to the story, but they sure get your attention from the headlines.  Most of the feeds are guilty of this even the conservative news outlets, such as Fox News, Town Hall, The Blaze TV, and many conservative blogs.  Perhaps, I have a psychiatric or the dreaded (not being derogatory), “personality disorder”, there is a long line of people who believe I do; nonetheless, I become frustrated when the media will not stay on point!  The mainstream media purposely buries any type of follow-up, for political gain.  And the few reliable news sources are nearly always sidetracked by these diversions of none issue, meaningless baits.  With the Obama “scandals”, which involve many more than this fraud community organizer exc

Have Conservatives Become So Stupefied, or Just Suckered? The conservative, (?), Republicans need to step back and look at the whole battlefield, not just the latest muzzle-flash.  Can you imagine a battle commander who loses the war because he spent the time and energy attempting to exploit and scrutinize each cannon muzzle-flash on the front line of the enemy?   He loses the war while attempting to win the newest conflict.  And that is where the Republican politicians are finding themselves.  Let’s look at the list of battles over the past four years; then look at the position we as conservative – freedom loving – constitutionalists find ourselves. We have the unresolved: ü   Black Panther voter intimidation scandal ü   The national debt, (17 trillion). ü   Deficit spending. ü   Jobs ü   Obamacare (socialized medicine). ü   Boarder Security     Law suit against Arizona for their own immigration law. ü   Illegal Aliens (still coming illegally and increased drug

The Necessity of Poverty By: R.S. Helms. Facts are Facts While rewriting the rewrite of the rewrite of my book dealing with the problems of addiction, alcoholism, and   homelessness, in the ghetto setting, with all the tentacles reaching into the already impoverished neighborhoods of our subculture, which traps and enslaves its people. Poverty affects all races, all religions, and all subcultures of the United States, however, when we address poverty, all minds turn to the African-American.  This is not because they are largest ethnic group in poverty, nor the largest ethnic group, the Hispanic has now taken number two spot.  (white non-Hispanic 64%; Hispanic 16%; Black non-Hispanic 12%; Asia 5%; Native American 1%).. it is impossible to get any sort of good figures on the percentages on poverty, not that there is not a lot of numbers available, but each group has their own set of numbers, depending on what cause they are following or who did the research.

What is really going on? Politicians keep us guessing First, somewhere in recent history, I wrote on the “shell game,” this article is still about the shell game, in a way.  In a way that this is an election year, (it seems every year is an election year); however, this year is somewhat different in as much as it may well be the dirtiest campaign in recent history.  From one side, any one who is a conservative or white Christian will be demonized as a racist. From the conservative side any one who is a liberal will be demonized as a socialist, welfare state which just wants the government to take the responsibly of life, and anti-constitutionalist.  These things will become the ingredients of the new shell game of addressing issues. One of the problems this presents is, the political shenanigans practiced in Washington not always are based on distraction, or the “shell game,” on the contrary, much of the deception smacks the conspiracy notion in the raw.  However, some
