So… Will Our 2014 Glasses Be Half-Full or Half-Empty?
Will Each or Us Be Participants or Observers in Our Future?
You are either a Part of the Problem, a Part of the Solution or You will be Swept-Up in the Decisions Made by Others!!

What Difference Does It Make?
‘MSNBC’ Daily Coverage… Especially:
Martin Bashir Makes Unforgiveable Comments About Sarah Palin
Melissa Creates Division of ‘Color’ of Santa and Jesus
Melissa Harris-Perry Attacks Romney Grandchild and Latest Adoption
2013’s Duh… I should have had a V8 Moment:
Barbara Walters On Obama: ‘We Thought He Was Going To Be The Next Messiah’
Best in Media
‘The Bible’ opened the door for more religion-themed series and has created the resurrection of the event or mini series. Following its massive ratings haul for History, broadcast and cable networks alike have looked to miniseries to draw eyeballs, top talent and awards cache in a bid to bring live viewers. NBC picked up A.D.
The Sound of Music was produced for close to $9 million and captivated the country. While Carrie Underwood generated as many groans as kudos for her acting Broadway veteran Audra McDonald received cheers for her stellar performance, but in the end the three-hour live show clicked with the audience, drawing a whopping 18.5 million viewers. A great thought that musicals and wholesome entertainment could make a comeback.
Worst in Media
2013: The Year of Shamelessness
Miley Cyrus hands down wins the worst in media award! Miley Cyrus’s disgusting twerking display at the VMA Show was one of the worst moments in media this year and in general. But even worse than her performance was the fact that she essentially ended up as Entertainer of the Year with several smash hits, based on behavior that tainted another generation of young girls. And perhaps even worse is that many of that generation of girls’ parents have supported the purchase of Miley’s music since the VMA performance, helping to make Miley Entertainer of the Year!
A great story, “The Butler (Kindle)” was co-oped by Oprah and the Progressive left for political and vindictive purposes. Much of the actual butlers experiences were rewritten to support the race card play and the director admitted that he purposely chose lefty traitor Jane Fonda to play elegant and beloved Republican First Lady Nancy Reagan and then misrepresented the Reagans as well. But every once in awhile karma plays her hand as exemplified by the absence of several award nominations they anticipated.

Pope Francis I : He took the name of a humble saint, Frances, and then called for a church of healing. The first non-European pope in 1,200 years is poised to transform a place that measures change by the century. Love him or hate him… some even think he will be the last Pope, he is making changes.
The Shortlist
He pulled off the year's most spectacular heist. Exiled from his country, the 30-year-old computer whiz has become the doomsayer of the information age. Some think he is a hero, others think he is traitor for his methods, but most agree that the information is invaluable!
In her ninth decade, she started a judicial odyssey, fighting a battle she never expected to wage—let alone win. Now she's the matriarch of the gay-rights movement
The doctor turned despot kept his grip on power. Still he sits uneasily on his contaminated throne. As Syria disintegrates, another generation of turbulence awaits
New Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz… who credits Sarah Palin, dubbed as the Kingmaker in conservative circles, for her help to get him there, has taken Washington by storm. Love him or hate him, he is a vision of the future!
Hope was a great gift to mankind… but as Thomas Sowell warns: 2014 is A New Year Staring With Old Problems… With ObamaCare Americans will face a choice to be citizen or subject, eagles or ostriches, believers in freedom or lazy socialists hoping the government will actually take care of them as they promised…
So, the Question for the Day: Will 2014 Be the Year Americans Finally Say Enough Is Enough?

Full constitutional rights for foreign Islamic terrorist detainees. Apologies to the Muslim world for American 'misdeeds,' and promises to make amends even if the security of the American people is placed in peril. Welcoming radical Muslim sympathizers into high positions of authority. Abridging freedom of expression. And much, much more. Lethal Engagement documents how in these and other ways President Barack Hussein Obama has forsaken the oath of office he took to 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Lethal Engagement exposes how radical Muslims are re-branding their barbaric ideology to fool their gullible audience in the West and how they play the racism victim card, all with President Obama's help. Lethal Engagement systematically lays out the dangerous entanglement of Obama with the United Nations, which radical Muslims are manipulating to promulgate international law to their liking, and how his nomination of more activist judges willing to throw away the Constitution allows radical Muslims to subvert American law. Lethal Engagement also reveals the radical Muslim plan to destroy the value of the dollar and use the United Nations to replace it with a new global reserve currency, all helped along by the Obama administration's disastrous economic policies. After connecting all these dots, Joseph Klein explains the steps 'we the people' must take to rescue our country.
