Ann

I have been a fan of Ann Coulter for several years. Do I find her acerbic, outrageous, and in your face? Absolutely. I also find her funny and very accurate.
It's interesting that in all of the hysteria over Ms. Coulter and her new book "Godless," no one has had the audacity to maintain that she is lying, or even embellishing the facts she presents. All they do is call her "mean, nasty, hateful" ad nausem. Where were these folks when people on the left like, Babs Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Al Frankin and other members of the loony left, debased, slandered and tried to destroy any and all Republicans they had the misfortune to come up against. It must only be hate speech when directed at liberals and their "sacred cows."
Well, the slaughter house is open for business and Ms. Coulter is giving seminars in how to slice and dice the cattle who pretend to be in the mainstream, but who in reality are goosestepping to the tune of hysterical hatemongers who have no real focus on reality.
Do those amidst the Hollywood smog have any concept of what is really going on in the lives of the "little people" who make their lifestyles possible? They are so removed from reality that they really believe that the vast majority people actually care what they think.
Do they research what they say? Of course not. That would take time and effort, which they are too busy making millons of dollars to do. Dollars that are paid by people whose beliefs and ideals these "celebrities" feel are fodder for not only their diatribes but their professional (hate) treatment as well.
Ms. Coulter on the other hand, does do research and then she skewers her victims WITH THEIR OWN WORDS, and that my friends is really why the left hates her. She uses their own words against them and that is something that they will never forget or forgive.

Marriage: make it the job you love

Today while perusing the headlines I came upon a article about "making men happy in marriage."
It is refreshing to see that the emphasis has turned to what a woman should do to make her husband happy, instead of the glut of nonsense that has been written since the "feminist revolution" about how men should change to make their wives happy.
Here's a news flash for the world: There are TWO people involved in a marriage and neither one is responsible for the happiness of the other.
I know, I know, this flies in the face of conventional wisdom. I understand Dr. Phil and Oprah would argue that both are responsible for the happiness of each other. The fact of the matter is NO ONE can make you ANYTHING. You are in charge of how you feel, what you do and how you respond to stimuli (whether good or bad). You choose to get mad, sad, elated, disappointed and any other adjective you can think of that describes emotion. You can even choose to feel nothing at all.
It has taken me years to truly understand this concept. If my spouse does something that annoys me, I try (not always successfully, or even mostly) to examine why this bothers me. Does it bother me because it makes things inconvenient, or more difficult. Maybe it is frightening, like the time he went outside to clean out the gutters before a rainstorm, standing on a metal ladder, while lightening skittered across the sky. Perhaps I respond to whatever his behavior is, because I feel guilty about not doing it myself, or maybe I wanted to do it myself.
What is my point? I guess it's just that marriage is as individual as the people who inhabit it. Although new ideas and suggestions are O.K. they will not be the "magic bullet" people believe they are. They will not turn every marriage into Nirvana, Heaven or Valhalla. There is no easy way to do marriage, just take it one day at a time, follow the Golden Rule and love each other and you'll be able to handle most of the problems that confront you.
That's not to say that you shouldn't be concerned about the happiness of your partner. Just that it is not your responsibility to "make" them happy. Should you do things that will help them feel good, appreciated, wanted and desired? Duh. Who doesn't want to feel this way? How they feel however is totally their own responsibility.
By the by, a faith based marriage is usually more stable and enduring. I'm not sure if this is due to the added level of commitment, since most people of faith view marriage as a sacrament, not just a legal contract. Or maybe it's the willingness of faith based folks to be teachable where their behavior is concerned. For whatever reason, faith based marriages have a greater ability to weather the storms of life, without the ship becoming wreaked on the shoals, than secular marriages. At least that has been my experience of 29 years, and experience as everyone knows is a great teacher.
