walterhayes: GOP Appears Divided - 06/21/10 02:21 AM
I read with interest this morning a story from the Associated Press about how the Republicans can't seem to come up with a winning message for the fall. Via radio and tv Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Walter Williams and others have all given you the right message but if you won't listen to them and the millions that listen and watch those programs maybe, if you'll take a moment to look at history, I can help you.
You've had 3 presidential elections now where you either barely won or lost. This is not because you were too conservative as … (23 comments)

walterhayes: A Favorite Quote for the Day - June 18th 2010 - 06/19/10 03:48 PM
Some think it odd, even real estate agents, that I'm so passionate about things. To all of them I offer the following:
It's easier to settle for average than strive for achievement. It's easier to be saturated with complacency than stirred with compassion. It's easier to be skeptical than successful. It's easier to question than to conquer. It's easier to rationalize your disappointments than realize your dreams. It's easier to belch the baloney than bring home the bacon. Author Unknown
I may be passionate about my God, my politics, my profession and my family but that's because there is no grey … (2 comments)

walterhayes: Question for the Athiest - 06/18/10 05:05 AM
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Does the athiest believe that the United States was illegally formed and that we should all still be under the jurisdiction of the British?
Seems like a stupid question but I ask it simply because of that opening statement in the Declaration of Independence. According to the very opening statement we are endowed, by our "Creator" (not by chance) with certain unalienable rights. If there is … (18 comments)

walterhayes: Our Water Woes - 06/17/10 05:02 AM
We all know, or should by now, that fresh water is becoming an increasingly public issue and a worrisome issue at that. Water tables are dropping and in 20 years we'll possibly see more headlines about fresh water than oil spills in the Gulf. We have a regional coalition looking into this and I applaud the idea that a group would be looking so far ahead rather than us waiting until our tongues are all hanging out asking where the water went. My question is, and this is not a criticism just a question, are they looking at any smaller projects … (2 comments)

walterhayes: A Favorite Quote for the Day - 06/12/10 07:05 PM
I've been using this quote as part of my email signature for some time. Before I start using another I wanted to post it here.
“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half … (11 comments)

walterhayes: Keep the Change - 06/12/10 06:47 PM
Daryl Worley was in Joplin MO last night for Boom Town Days and I got the chance to hear a good part of his concert. While I'm not much for Tequila On Ice and some of those songs that he does, his songs honoring the military are on par with anyone else in the industry. His newest single, that apparently hasn't officially come out yet has to be heard. "Keep the Change" is a great song about the current situation we face in this country at the moment. If you haven't heard it yet you should check this out. This song … (3 comments)
