\u00a0I have some random thoughts and questions as I look out the picture window pondering our county, culture, and country.\u00a0 Some deep, some not.\u00a0 Some fun, some worrisome.\u00a0 Some temporal, some for an eternity.<\/p>\nWritten by Andy Coy<\/p>\n
\u00a0I have some random thoughts and questions as I look out the picture window pondering our county, culture, and country.\u00a0 Some deep, some not.\u00a0 Some fun, some worrisome.\u00a0 Some temporal, some for an eternity.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Does anyone but me think the way the University of Kentucky, Coach Calipari, and their basketball program does the “one and done” system in college, is bad for both college and also professional basketball?\u00a0 The NFL might have it right when they do not allow college students to play professional football until after their sophomore year.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 I hope that the leadership at Florida SouthWestern \u00a0(EdisonCollege) comes up with a way to recognize Coach Hugh Thimilar in their new gymnasium.\u00a0 Coach Thimilar is the Wooden and Krzyzewski of college basketball in southwestFloridaand it would be great if this icon could be recognized in some way at the new gym facility.\u00a0 It would connect the past to the present at Florida SouthWestern State College.\u00a0 Alums would love it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0 When is it that state law and state guidelines trumps a state constitutional amendment?\u00a0 Well apparently when it comes to the Classroom Size Amendment.\u00a0 Citizens ofFloridahave voted twice for hard and fast limits to the number of students\u00a0 in individual classrooms.\u00a0 Was it an unholy alliance between the political Right and the political Left in Tallahassee that has left many classrooms in the State of Florida over the hard and certain caps of students in a classroom; violating the twice approved state CSA?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Is it just me, or does President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder remind us more and more of President Nixon, John Mitchell, and G. Gordon Liddy?\u00a0 The only question is if there is a “John Dean” someplace within the Democratic White House with enough courage to step forward and tell the truth under oath \u00a0in front of Congress.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Is President Obama anti-Bibi Netanyahu, anti-Israel, or\u00a0 anti-Semitic?\u00a0 Does he not need to be at least one of these three in order to chooseIranand the ayatollahs overIsraeland the Jewish homeland?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Any comparison between President Obama and Neville Chamberlain is an insult to Chamberlain.\u00a0 When Chamberlain was appeasing Hitler in Europe, there was noIsrael, no Jewish state, and no homeland to go to.\u00a0 At the time of Obama’s capitulation to Ayatollah Khamenei, there is anIsraeland there is a Jewish homeland.\u00a0 AndIranhas said thatIsraelhas no right to exist.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Why in the world would American citizens, usually from the Left, expect Israel to sit by quietly with their hands folded while the Obama administration concocts a deal with a county (Iran) to have nuclear weapons and this country (Iran) has said Israel has no right to exist. WhenIsraeland Prime Minister Netanyahu says “Never Again”, they means it.\u00a0 Would we allowCubato have nuclear weapons pointed straight at us?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Why is it that conservatives have no problem giving Franklin Roosevelt credit forAmericawinning World War II, but liberals cannot give credit to Ronald Reagan forAmericawinning the Cold War?\u00a0 PS: Both FDR and RR were out of the White House when both of their respective wars were over.\u00a0 Whose being mean spirited?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 There is no better place for cake, this side of Heaven, than the Bubble Room onCaptivaIsland.\u00a0 The Bubble Room started the year after my senior year of high school in 1979 and is still going strong.\u00a0 Many Hoosiers, Buckeyes, and Germans will agree.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 The older I get, the more I miss my Dad.\u00a0 The closer to Easter, the more I miss my Dad.\u00a0 The closer to Fathers Day, the more I miss my Dad.\u00a0 I miss my Dad.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 There is not many things better on earth, than playing “pitch and catch” with your grandson.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Is President Obama purposely and deliberately ushering inAmerica’s decline off of the world stage as a forgotten empire and superpower?\u00a0 If a serious reader were to study the writings of Sir Alexander Fraser Tytler’s \u00a0“9 Stages of a Civilization” and compare it to the President’s actions the last 2 years since his reelection, the conclusions drawn would be very frightening and consequential toAmerica’s survival.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 Why in the world do we allow our children to use the term “wife beaters” when referring to a white t-shirt?\u00a0 This “wb” slang is one of the ugliest terms\u00a0 in American culture.\u00a0 It is hard to believe that Republican\/Democrat, Capitalist\/Socialist\/Communist, \u00a0and Liberal\/Conservative cannot agree that this slang term for a t-shirt will no longer be allowed.\u00a0 Think of what those two words actually mean.\u00a0 Is it possible, maybe, we can get some public service announcements from both the NFL and NBA condemning the “wb” ugly slang for a t-shirt?\u00a0 We need to change the culture here.<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 President Nixon only talked about using the IRS against political enemies while the Obama Administration has actually used the IRS against political enemies (example: Tea Party)\u00a0 to lessen and discourage the voter turnout of political enemies.\u00a0 Nixon erased 18 minutes of tape while Hilary bleached out the entire computer server.\u00a0 Still, there is no talk of impeachment?\u00a0 Hypocrisy?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 What is the problem with trying to protect the human species fetus just as much as we are protecting the endangered species fetus?\u00a0 Whose being extreme?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0 I like watching birds in the birdbath in the front yard.\u00a0 I wonder if the birdbath brings my grandsons or the birds more joy?<\/p>\n
*\u00a0Lincolnonce said that whatever is taught as “truth” in the classroom in one generation, becomes law in the next generation.\u00a0 What are we teaching today in the classroom as “truth” which will become the law tomorrow?<\/p>\n
