Expressionism

An artistic style of painting that departs from the conventions of Realism and Naturalism, and hopes to convey inner experience by distorting rather than directly representing natural images.

The highly personal visions communicated in the paintings of Vincent van Gogh are early examples of expressionism. Edvard Munch and Georges Rouault are considered expressionist painters.

America's southern border has been open for far too long, inviting Mexicans to enter freely. They risk their lives to come to the "Land of milk and honey" and who can blame them? The Mexican government doesn't care if they leave their homeland to come to America. They send billions of dollars back home to family and friends. In the meantime, they are draining America. We pay for schooling, free medical services and to imprison those illegals who break the law. Now that several past presidents have ignored our own immagration laws, the question is, what do we do with all of those who are here illegally?

Close the border now. Why they haven't used consertina wire at the top of the wall, like they do on prison fences, is beyond me. Seal the border and fine those businesses and corporations who hire illegals. Big fat fines. No work available, why bother to cross the border?

Not sealing the border reminds me of a couple I know. They have five children of their own and have decided not to have any more. They don't have the patience or the money for more children but they refuse to use birth control. Does that make sense?

Of course, the Democrats and Liberals in the United States want the Hispanic vote and therefore they are reluctant to do anything about our illegal immagration problem.

In the meantime, more will come, more states will go bust and the problem will continue to mushroom.

More babies on the way! What a mess!!!

The left in America are hoping that someone in the Tea Party movement or other Conservative group, will commit some violent crime in protest. Every American has the right to Peaceful Protest. It is our right!

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my heros, not just for what he did but the way he did it. PEACEFULLY!

Glenn Beck has a non-violent pledge that he urges people to sign and to protest in that manner, with love and in a peaceful manner.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea?

I have signed the pledge and plan to follow it.

Glennbeck.com......Go to the site and sign the pledge, if you agree with it.

Have you seen the latest Nike commercial with Tiger Wood's father supposidly speaking from the grave?

Am I the only one who thinks the commercial stinks like an old pair of dirty Nike shoes?

Tiger's father cheated on Tiger's mother so I don't think he was the best role model father in the world. So Tiger, you are the greatest golfer ever. But you failed, big time, as a husband and a father. For many of us, that over-shadows your ability on the green.

Nike and Tiger.

What a pair...pardon the pun!

I saw an old clip of Bill Cosby reflecking on his son, Enis (Forgive for not remembering if his name was Enis or Ellis)

Bill said that his son once told him that everyone talked about changing the world. But he thought that if you change yourself you are changing the world.

Change yourself to be the best you can be.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a noble philosophy?
