R.S. Helms Commentary

Just Lie For Now R. S. Helms Every day for the past month or so, the question most asked is: What’s the Problem?  The problem is politicians who don’t seem to give a damn about their constituents once they are voted into office.  the longer they are in office the less they care, (until six months to a year before election), then it is who can tell the best lie and which side can set the talking points first forcing the other side to try to play defense. The master of the ‘shell game’ is at it again; when he announced that he was taking gun control head on.  The idea of taxes, spending, Benghazi affair, fast and furious, and the fiscal cliff recovery, plus other issues such as the debt ceiling increase etc., is going to be in the shadows of the gun control issue, which will go nowhere, unless he usurps the constitution. Then he just picks the shells he wants us to pay attention to while the pea avoids detection

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

As I sit in my living room listening to the insufferable sound of exploding fireworks a few doors away, wondering why it is, at the oncoming of a holiday, (don’t make a difference which one), some yahoos have to start several days early, and have their grand-finale on the eve of the holiday?  I don’t know the answer, however, I do know that it is something I don’t look forward to, with the approaching holiday.  Christmas of course is history, I had a wonderful Christmas and hope that all of you had a good one as well.  I don’t look forward to the New Year, as there does not seem to be nothing exciting happening in 2012.  Some things will improve because it is an election year, and the present administration will do what ever it takes, to make us think things are getting better, however, the opponents will attempt to counter with their own ideology for their benefit.  What may appear on the surface to be a good thing, in truth, it is seldom what it seems.  Some of these rascals will

Hi there, this is not an endorsement of any political candidate, but the contrary, because politicians are simply politicians and it comes down to the one that can be believed the most to do most of what he or she says they will do. Who Will it be?                                                                  With that in mind, who do you think will win the Republican nomination?  Nonetheless, we have one which has never been connected to actual politics, and why should we waste a good man on the likes of our congress and administration, that would come under the heading of blood sacrifice, without any atonement!  From the two top runners in this bid for the formal Whitehouse bid, we get politics and politics, with Romney we have a politician, and with Cain we have that, which we should have had three years ago; the African-American who would have taken this nation in the right direction, maybe.  With Romney, we have a politician who like most, have had their share of fail
