The American Dream...





James Truslow Adams coined the term "American Dream" in his 1931 book The Epic of America. His American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.

Then Ronald Reagan said this..."The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become." 

Today however, the American Dream is being redefined by those who feel that the  socialists' New World Order will overrun Capitalism. All this, while history has shown that nations who first established a socialist society, returned to capitalism to sustain themselves.

"One Nation" rallies are again emerging across these United States, claiming Unions are the heart of the American Dream. The facts can be read HERE - stating that "despite MoveOn.org and SEIU taking a leading role — along with a number of other sponsors including the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, George Soros’ Media Matters, the Apollo Alliance and the Sierra Club — the National Park Service has confirmed that the Saturday rally’s permit in Washington DC was requested by and issued to the International Socialist Organization, a group committed to building a future socialist society.”

I wish those in the public sector unions, as well as those protesting the "Budget Repair Bill" would realise this, and separate themselves from that unholy union.

Intermittent Fasting 101 – The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

By Kris Gunnars, BSc | 1,270,979 views Intermittent fasting (IF) is currently one of the world’s most popular health and fitness trends. People are using it to lose weight, improve health and simplify their healthy lifestyle. Many studies show that it can have powerful effects on your body and brain, and may even help you live longer. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a term for an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It does not say anything about which foods you should eat, but rather when you should eat them. In this respect, it is not a “diet” in the conventional sense. It is more accurately described as an “eating pattern.” Common intermittent fasting methods involve daily 16 hour fasts, or fasting for 24 hours, twice per week. Humans have actually been fasting throughout evolution. Sometimes it was done because food was not available, and it has also been a part of major religions, including Islam, Christianity and Buddhism. When you think about it, our h...

A new healthy lifestyle.

Like many people, weight loss when needed, can be a problem. My doctors' reports stated me as obese - along with one-third of the US population. Obesity is a chronic health problem. It is one of the biggest factors for type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It is also associated with cancer (e.g. colorectal cancer), osteoarthritis, liver disease, sleep apnea, depression and other medical conditions  that affect mortality and morbidity. Whatever method I used to loose weight in the past, it just wasn't working. I don't like diets, but I loved pasta, pizza, sweets, bread, etc., those are gone for now and as a result, I no longer have a compelling desire for those foods. April of 2015 started it all. I was led to information regarding health and weight loss, starting with Gary Taubes book " Why We Get Fat, and What to Do About It " , 2010. Other books are " Wheat Belly " and " Grain Brain ". This is not just a diet, but a healthy li...
