Are YOU A Neoconservative?

Written by Sean Shealy | 01 February 2012

If one had to choose a word to describe neoconservatism, it would be pragmatic. A close second would be optimistic.

Not sounding like the rabid conservative Republicans – Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Elliot Abrahms – who terrorized us into war under George W. Bush?

That is because they aren’t – neoconservatives are liberal Democrats.

Republican Debates Far Cry From Valuable

Written by Sandra Marshall | 22 January 2012

Newt Gringrich is a bully. He lacks respect of the citizenry and sensitivity to those he once loved. This man is a cocky, conservative, with racist and sexist leanings.  His loud arrogrant attitude may make for a good show and rile up an audience of angry conservatives but it does nothing to bring our nation together. Is this what we want in a President?

The Republican debates have been a distraction from what needs to be addressed in America.  Imagine the money that has been spent. What's worse is the hours of air time spent to confuse and lie to voters. 

There are plenty of good Republicans out there, I'm married to one but this group of people lack what the party needs to win an election.  Of course if we are more interested in a

Where is the real America, the 99% ignored by the media and that the Republicans deny exists.

Feb 2012 Astrology

Written by Vivienne Moran | 01 February 2012

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AQUARIUS! Home may be where your heart is during the first few months of your personal new year. It is an ideal time to make improvements or move to a larger more comfortable residence. The buying or selling of property and/or otherwise cashing in on a real estate transaction should go well. Negotiations look encouraging if refinancing an existing mortgage is on the agenda. Other forms of speculation, affairs of the heart and the needs of children are spotlighted for the remainder of your annual birthday cycle. Family relationships should blossom as well. In terms of your career, it is likely you will gain more responsibility; if you are ambitious for leadership this can be a period of great accomplishment. Walk through with confidence if a door of opportunity opens which allows you to make an impression upon the world as an individual. The February 7 full moon cycle places a strong emotional emphasis on business and/or personal partnerships. Compromise and consideration tend to be the keywords that smooth over rough waters. Money matters are accented as February progresses.

Central Coast's 2nd Annual Women's Symposium!

Written by Sandra Marshall | 03 February 2012

 "Women of Wisdom: Midwifing Conscious Change."

Are you ready to reclaim your authentic power and assist in shaping the future of our planet?

At the September 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit, the Dalia Lama affirmed: “The world will be saved by the western woman.” This belief has been echoed by other evolutionary leaders such as Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Jean Houston, and the list goes on.

Women are on the precipice of shifting the consciousness of this planet. Countless people are feeling the inner urge to reconnect with their feminine selves, to align with their heart and soul in a way as never experienced in our lifetime.

Congress Approval Rating Sinks

Written by Sandra Marshall | 03 February 2012

Congress continues to have an all time low job approval rating of 11%.

Why are we allowing members of Congress to continue to receive a salary or hold office when they are failing to serve the nation?  It wouldn’t take much to find more qualified citizens to serve. Remove the need for campaign money and add committed to work for the people, honesty, sensibility and integrity, create a job application and ask for the best citizens to apply. No more million and billionaires! Only hard working, qualified, honest caring citizens apply.

The battle between two parties, the just say NO Republican vs. the spineless Democrats, is destroying our nation. Daily media reports of fighting and getting no-where have wasted too much valuable time and create upset and fear to a nation that needs action.

It's time to occupy Congress.  I understand they will be spending more time at home soon. Good. Visit your congress person, visit Washington D.C.  Search for new people to serve as your representative to Congress and start promoting their election as soon as possible. Move quickly. Stay focused on an outcome that will serve your community, the nation and in turn affect the world in a positive way.
