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!

Who would you hire, the one that is Smart or the other one?
March 11, 2009 by OpinionHead
Filed under Opinions and Attitudes, Videos
Now I know what is wrong with this country, we are too smart! I just found an article on RightWingNews.com that proves what I am saying! Well, if you watch this video, from that article, and believe it, then America has a problem, we are too smart! Follow the link to We Need To Redefine Merit and read that article, this is the basis for my opinion here, although my opinion, as usual, goes into this subject with a bit more of a critical attitude , read that article, watch the video, then read on……..
Ok, this Professor Guinier, is basically saying that diversity is better than intelligence. Intelligence, which one aquires from studying, not from having a rich family, should be the basis for hiring someone, but, she is saying that a person that only managed to retain a small portion of the subject material that was covered in the test, is just as, or more qualified because it was different from what the others had answered? Is she kidding? That would be the same as picking the one that only got one answer right, but it was the one answer that everyone that scored 9 of 10 got wrong, I would call it a lucky guess, not a sign of diversity! I imagine she would see that person as a genious?
I don’t know about now, but when I was in school, scoring a 70, or 7 out of 10 as she stated, was a C, and if the person at the top of the group tested, only managed a C, I feel that all of the teachers should be fired! If the person that made a 50, or 5 out of 10, an F, would be who she picked, for diversity’s sake, then this highlights an even bigger problem. Since Professor Guinier is a professor, it makes me wonder just how she grades her students, what kind of curve does she use? If she is failing the kids that do the best on the test, for diversity’s sake, then she should be removed, and so should any teacher, or professor, that cannot teach well enough that at least 80% of the class score a 90 , a B,or better! This 80% of the class passing would be the teacher getting a B on their ability to teach!
When I was a kid, the kids that scored less than a B got picked on by the ones that did better, individual responsibility was backed up by peer pressure, it was a matter of pride! What happens when you remove the rewards from life and make it ok to fail a test, yet still pass? Everybody becomes “the same”, no one is any “better” than anyone else, is that diversity? Is this the goal of the progressive liberals? What a concept, what a terrible future for our country, is this what you want your kids to learn?
Americans used to try and be the best, what happened? First, I guess you need to take Professor Guinier’s audience into account, she is basically telling a group of people that just happen to be part of a group that doesn’t, as a “group” do as well on the affore mentioned test, is that because “they” are less capable? No! All people, all colors, red, blue, green, whatever, should be “expected” to pass the same test, what the heck could race have to do with a test? Sorry, I am old, so, the test she is referring to, I have never seen, but, when I went to school, ALL of the kids got the same books, had the same teachers, and of course took the same test!
Her saying that the ones that pass the test have rich families, I take as an insult, not to just me, but to any and everyone, that was NOT rich, yet managed to study and pass a test! This Professor Guinier even knocked Obama around because he obviously passed a few tests himself, one time I have admit Obama did something right, he passed!
I am sorry, not everyone is as “smart” as everyone else, but, if you are in a classroom, regardless of the subject being taught, then you should be able to learn enough to at least get a 7 out of ten score, heck, that means that you didn’t know 30% of the answers! If you cannot pass a certain subject, then you need to focus on another! Could you imagine the NBA with a bunch of short, fat, old, white guys, just for the sake of diversity? I don’t think so!
Yes, diversity is important, very important, but, diversity happens naturally, not everyone can be a lawyer, a mechanic, a computer geek, a brain surgeon, or an NBA player, or whatever, nor do we all desire to be, we all have to learn what our strengths are and focus on them, but, if everybody gets the same scores on everything they do, just for the sake of “fairness” , and no one is better at anything than anyone else, this will take us down the wrong road, an ugly road, a road where “The People” actually want everyone to be the same, one where we elect someone that promises to take care of everything because we are no longer rewarded for competing to be the best and take care of ourselves , a road where a dictator takes over and ….hmm

Bill Clinton: ‘Screw It, I’m Running For President’
January 24, 2008 by OpinionHead
Filed under Political Rants
Somehow this doesn’t surprise me. While checking out various websites, looking for something interesting, I found this on the ONION
CHARLESTON, SC—After spending two months accompanying his wife, Hillary, on the campaign trail, former president Bill Clinton announced Monday that he is joining the 2008 presidential race, saying he “could no longer resist the urge.” “My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president,” said Clinton, introducing his wife at a “Hillary ’08″ rally. “For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to.” (Read entire article at the ONION)
Personally, I would rather have anybody else but him, except for Hillary, or Obama, or Edwards or …….Heck I don’t want anything to do with any of those whiny liberals, lets elect…….Oh well, just keep Bush!

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!
