    I’ve come up with a viable idea to help reduce our deficit. An expanded IRS could charge a penny for each written word. That would also quell verbosity, and make instigators think twice about writing a vicious or nonsensical piece. The government would create a new bureaucracy; The Word Authority of Taxation. Our 112th Czar could head this venture. It should generate the ability to count and tax every word written by all U.S. authors or commercial producers for the Internet, radio or TV. In addition, the post office will be enlisted to tally the words in every piece of mail. An ancillary benefit would be that it might reduce the volume of junk mail. All authors, newspapers and magazines will be compelled to have TWAT agents add up and tax each word written. I’m not sure how much gelt—you do the math—this would produce in slicing our twenty trillion dollar proposed deficit that will likely be announced next year for the remainder of the present administration. However, it could also reduce taxes of the poor and the illiterate. After the world sees the tremendous success of this venture, I’m sure it will buy into the process. Since every word spoken will be exempt, people might even begin communicating again with each other on a more mostly personal level. Axel Shillers ibeariter.com

    Sharia Law and Armageddon-------- It seems as if this country’s propensity to embrace political correctness has gone a bit far these days. We urge the true Muslim religion be respected by other religions and all secularists since many believe it to be compatible with the democratic process, while we condemn Muslim extremists. Don’t we realize that Islam period as we politically correctly espouse it, embraces and wishes Sharia be the operating law of every nation worldwide? This type of religious decree dictates enforcing harsh penalties that are not compatible with the secular laws of most other countries. Examples of a few; being stoned to death for adultery (Nigeria), having your head cut off for converting from Islam to another faith (Afghanistan), or having a hand amputated for stealing (Saudi Arabia). Should we not shudder at the prospect of helping to create such monster democracies? I just got around to watching a DVD, which I long ago received with my newspaper (Palm Beach Post). I’ve had Obsession around six months, but hadn’t looked at it before. Shortly after its specious delivery there had been an outcry against the paper for foisting such drivel on its readers. Also by then, it had been vilified by many politically correct espousing entities as portraying exaggerations, Muslim bashing, and essentially was touted as anti-Muslim and pro-Israeli propaganda. I must have been cerebrally derailed initially by this outcry to let it rest on my shelf. Even such a stalwart (Michael Moore) of exposing dysfunctional U.S. policies, endeavors and industries claimed terrorism was not a real threat—just a figment of Bush’s imagination or was perpetrated by a disgruntled fringe group. No matter what your opinion of our ex-Pres is now, if you haven’t already, watch this documentary and judge its merits or lack thereof for yourself. One of the dictates of this film is that it’s easy for evil to proliferate, if people of good will do nothing, are apathetic or leave the heavy lifting to others. All of that said, I had to find my own solution to present my reawakened view and renewed reminder that terrorism is as real as ever. I’m not sure what our government is doing about it, but so far, we have not been attacked again. Are we extra vigilant or just lucky? I’m not smart or informed enough on what our best course is to combat this continuing threat. Yet, I have conjured up a few ideas. I’ll leave it up to you, the proactive citizens, to determine if they will fly. I’m sure many of you readers can present others, which might trump mine. So be it for the better of all, if that’s the case. We might make a greater effort to teach more westerners—not just Americans—to speak and write Arabic so there would be more divergent voices to attempt to blunt radical Islam’s deadly message. A refutation of it could be disseminated to Middle Eastern countries, like the old Radio Free Europe or Radio Marti to Cuba. Or let us do as was espoused by Thomas L. Friedman: "shine a spotlight on hate speech wherever it appears." Isn’t it strange that the voices of most so-called moderate Islamists are noisily silent against quelling the radical messages of their rabid brethren. Although this might invite retaliation by fanatics who do not revere free speech as democratic nations do, we could still attempt to recruit so-called moderate Muslims to organize themselves to rebut terrorism and spread a temperate Islamic message—that is, if there really is one. We should quit funding all the financially ailing—most of which brought these problems on themselves through their gluttony for the gold—companies, who more than likely will continue to dupe congress and Obama. Instead, we should tack to a different course to avoid this pecuniary gale on the verge of becoming a fiscal tsunami. Many outfits might sink financially or declare bankruptcy anyway despite the continuing bailouts. You can be sure most have contingency plans to pay off their executives (good-old-boy or retainment bonuses, golden parachutes or guaranteed lump-sum pensions) before they get pounded by the waves of greed onto the rocky shores of oblivion. Instead of blowing these wasted billions, we’d be better off trying to fund and find a way to avert the looming tragedy of an all out World War III—the U.S., Israel, Europe and possibly, Russia against radical Islam or, if by then, they succeed in the campaign of brainwashing all Muslims, just plain Islam. Ever heard of Armageddon? Things are shaping up for its reality. I don’t want to sound as if I’m advocating anyone or any entity to beat a dead horse, as the cliché goes. But I believe this horse needs to be resurrected so all people of vision will become aware of, and can combat its perils. Its name is Islam, justifying Jihad through the Qur’an versus all infidels—us, other unbelievers, the rest of the world’s democracies and particularly, Israel and England. Maybe, December 21, 2012 has some true significance regarding the end of civilization after all. In embracing the culture originally demonstrated by Cain and Abel—that of deadly conflict between diverse personalities, because of a perceived injustice committed against one of the parties—our world has demonstrated it still favors such means for settling disputes. More than ever, this method of resolution is continuously waged on a global scale. Possibly, that standard way of resolving all conflicts will culminate in the end of all conflicts, by removing the potential participants (humankind) forever. Axel Shillers

    Mike Huckabee has been my choice for President, but since he didn't make the nomination for the Republican Party I have been very disappointed. IT would be great if John M. would choose him as V.P. I keep praying that God will lead him to be the number two man!! Go Mike Go!!!!!

    I think Huckabee would be more qualified for the presidency if he got fat again. We need to a president who is constantly being humbled every 20 minutes on the discovery that there is no milk for his/her cereal. Every one knows that you can't think on an empty stomach. This would also reduce the risk of Huckabee being attacked by sharks, for if he's always feasting on turkey legs and ring-dings he'll never reach the 30 minutes a person has to wait after eating before entering the water. I absolutley refuse, and I think everyone else should too, to vote for Huckabee until he packs back on at least, at least 60-70 pounds.

    Govener Huckabee the pineville Lousiana area would be a great area for a breif stop on your campaign. The area is full of young christian voters. The area holds a large Babtist college (Lousiana College) and is a very republican area of the state and about the center of the state aswell so it would be easy for others to travel to hear you speak. So, Mr. Huckabee please come to Pineville Lousiana!

    I have never sent money to a campaign or actively campaigned before. Huckabee is the best man for the job so I just had to get out there and help. Join a Meetup group in your area!! Huckabee, please come to Tyler, Texas!!!

    A highly conservative area, a trip to Southwest Virgina to get you message out and gain supports would be well worth your time. We are often overlooked in the races, but the state does not stop at Roanoke!! Bristol is a twin city bordering both Virginia and Tennessee and this could be a great way to kill to birds with one stone, so to speak. We are also only about 1 hour drive from the western North Carolina Mountains and 1 1l2 hours from Bluefield, WV. Make friends in the mountains and you'll see a turn in several states!
