OpinionHead.com New Author and Subscription Drive!
Hello everybody, I am starting a campaign to get new Authors, and new email subscriptions to this site, we have a lot of visitors and email subscribers, but I would like to increase it, so, take a look, if you like the site, please subscribe, you can either follow this link Subscribe to OpinionHead.com by Email Or you can use the form below. Again, thank you, current subscribers, the more subscribers I get, the more motivated I get!
As you know, I can get a little bit long winded, so, I feel that I should tell you why I am asking you to subscribe to OpinionHead.com, yes, that motivation thing is important, but, there is a much larger reason, I want to help spread the word, to help promote the Tea Parties, the “awakening” of our wonderful country that I have been dreaming of!
When I started this site, I did it for this reason, it was like I could see what was happening, but there were very few others like me, now, I don’t feel quite so isolated, people are starting to stand up and say “Hey, this big government, big spending, and trampling of the constitution crap just ain’t gonna cut it!” I want people, regardless of their opinions, left, right, or middle, to come here and share those opinions!
So, if you agree with me, if you think I am insane, if you believe that GW Bush is God or Satan was a great president or just an idiot, if you think Obama is the messiah or the antichrist, if you think Rush is Right, or wrong, it doesn’t matter! The whole point is for us all to come together, learn why we have these different views, and then realize that we have more in common than we thought, and then maybe, just maybe, we could all get along! If we can get together, we can solve our problems, but, we need to stand “together”, so, register, get the email subscription, and post a comment or be an author, it is up to you!
If you want to be an author, Register, then use the contact form, find me on Twitter, whatever, just let me know and I will set it up. Thanks everybody!

Economy Problems: Mexico Scares Me! Look-out for Chavez!
February 17, 2009 by OpinionHead
Filed under Opinions and Attitudes
As the entire world is having economic problems, what is next? Mexico has always been a “Third-World” country, but it is getting even worse, much worse, so what happens if the Mexican government completely collapses? You know how many people are already coming here to get away and to make a living, if the entire thing down there goes bad, what will happen? Here is an article by Glenn Beck on FoxNews.com, “As Goes California, So Goes America”, read this for but one scenario, a very real situation, even if Mexico doesn’t fall apart.
Look at the events in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez has pretty much set himself up as dictator, and the idiots that live there voted for it! Hmm, reminds me a bit of our most recent Presidential election here! It just goes to show you, if you promise people something for nothing, they fall for it every time! What is really scary, and should give people even more reason to worry, is who Chavez’s friends are, look at the picture, Chavez and Ahmadinejad look pretty chummy!
I know why they are laughing, they are talking about how they and Obama are going to wreck the U.S. and take over the entire North American continent, like Canada would do anything. Ffirst it starts out socialism, then its communism! Why would any of that make Ahmadinejad happy? Simple, Chavez and Obama take the West, Putin takes Europe and Asia, and Ahmadinejad takes the Middle east and Africa! With America out of the way, since Obama is helping them, the disease of socialism can spread, the U.S. becomes a poor country, and then we are all here just wondering what happened! Funny thing is that nobody seems to know what is bad about socialism. You can’t blame Bush for that one!
Yes, that is a severely exaggerated opinion of but one possible scenario, and I pray to God that Obama is not going to let it go that far, but, my point is, It Could Happen! Remember “Yes, We Can” and “Change You Can Believe In” and all of the rest? Americans were acting like the lemmings down there in Venezuela, I have to say, I am embarrassed, I am a Proud American, and to see where we are headed is a big dissappointment.
There always have been poor people and there always will be. The whole point of Free Markets and Capitalism is so that if you work hard enough you can make it to the top, way above the bottom, the whole point of Socialism is to make everybody the same, and, if you look at Venezuela, that means everybody but the Dictator is poor! Yes, Capitalism can also be described as “Survival of the Fittest”, people and businesses may fail, but, it is that opportunity to make it back to the top!
I heard an old German saying that translates to something like this; A man who makes a lot of mistakes, works hard, A man who makes no mistakes, is a lazy dog! How many mistakes have you made?

Another New Section: OpinionHead News!
January 19, 2008 by OpinionHead
Filed under Introductions, Opinions and Attitudes
One week ago I decided to start OpinionHead.com, and now we have the main OpinionHead Blog finished, the OpinionHead Forums are also up and running and the newest section OpinionHead News has also been created! No, the content part isn’t finished yet, but the hard part of modifying the template is.
The content is going to be about News, anything and everything that I can find, all organized into sections, ready to be bookmarked! I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time going from one place to another trying to find out whats going on in the world. If you are into the News, this section of the site is for you!
Why would you want more than one source for your News? Simple, to see just how biased the media actually is! We all have our opinions, and rightly so, but why is it that opinions are like butt-holes, everybody has one, and they all stink! Maybe I can explain what I believe is the reason for this. We develop our opinions from what we believe to be true, nobody has an opinion that they don’t believe, so why doesn’t everybody have the same opinion? We develop our opinions from our environment, our friends, our family, our bosses, and what we hear, see, or read in the news!
If there were only one source for our news, we would all get to where we believed the same thing, that is why dictators close down as many TV, radio, and news sources as they can, and leave but one, the one that pushes the dictators own views, and opinionsl
Just look at Hugo Chavez what did he do? Why is it, that when the U.S. first freed Iraq, we helped get the local radio broadcasters up and running, and even set up a pro-U.S. station. Here is one site that can help exlpain it.
The troops even hand out radios in both Iraq and Afghanistan, so that the local people can hear what is happening and don’t have to rely solely on word of mouth, passed from one person to another, we all know how accurate that is.
Anyway, back to my point, having a biased source for your news, leads us to also be biased! Didn’t you notice that when Bill Clinton was President, it didn’t matter what he did, he was the darling of the news, but why? That I can’t tell you, but what I do know is that that much bias in the news is just wrong! Didn’t you ever hear the term Clinton News Network (CNN)? The media has become ever more liberal in our wonderfully free country. Today most of the TV stations only show the news that promotes their opinions, and those are mostly “Progressive” and not very “Conservative”, why? Again, I don’t know, but I do have my OPINION!
So, if the TV stations and newspapers are all leaniing to the left, what keeps those on the right informed, and equally as biased? Radio talk shows that are successful, tend to be of the conservative viewpoint, why? Again, all I have is my opinion.
What is the goal of this site you might ask? I believe, that if enough information is available, and can be seen in one place, the individual reading it can decide for themselves. If you see the same story, written with opposing viewpoints, maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle? That is my view on this, and is the reason that I am putting the OpinionHead News section together.
Anyone else that shares this belief, and wants to get involved may do so. All of those that believe that “their” view is correct, regardless of which side, left, right or middle is also welcome to help, that is what it is all about! So, keep checking out the site, you will see the changes, and if you want to get involved, just go to the Contact Us page and fill out the form, help me out here, I am just one person, I need you!
