What's in a title and what is the purpose behind the title?

What’s in a title and what is the purpose behind the title?

The theme of my FORUMS last week and this week have centered around these words: Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime.

These words can be used in many ways. If you are a conservative they might play to your benefit, if you posture your argument against bad policy and bad intentions. If you are a liberal they might play to your purpose. The liberal will use a theme and they will move with purpose, because of their intent is changing the purpose of the country.

Our current President is purposeful in his intent and in his use of power. In the up coming months, you will see the Chicago way move into the world of American politics. The President’s people are in place in Washington D.C. and in Chicago. Their intent will be purposeful and their intent of fundamental change will become a purposeful argument once again.

The story of the conservative will be the Presidents purposeful destruction of the economy. The President cannot run on his record, so the purposeful argument will be one of blame. The President said yesterday that ATM machines and technology have reduced the employment roles. At the same time, the president’s vision of new job creation centers on windmills and electric cars, all of which take technology like the innovations that created ATM machines and job taking technology. When you listen to the purposeful arguments separately they might make sense to some, but when you use the arguments together they don’t make any sense at all, at least to folks like you and me.

When I consider the words I choose to put down on paper or into a word document I do it purposefully. My words are chosen purposefully and my message is written on purpose. My purpose is to remind those who read the FORUM that the actions that are taking place in Washington are purposeful, because the president wants to fundamentally change the country. His purpose, his mission and his intentions are not good for America and we are now seeing the results. It is not up to Barack Obama or his party to bring fundamental change and it should not be the purpose of any President to do so. I hate to tell you that I told you so, but I did. That is and was my purpose.

On today’s date, in 1775, George Washington was appointed commander-in-chief of the American Army. This was a purposeful action. Can you imagine if Barack Obama was appointed Commander– in- Chief then? He was elected and that title comes with the job now but look at what his purposeful intent has given us. Washington, on the other hand, had a different purpose. Instead of ruining a country’s chance to survive, his purposeful intentions were to create a strong Army to protect the strong purposeful thoughts of his contemporaries. I fear that some of America’s contemporaries don’t have the same intentions and thoughts that Washington had in his day. Their purposeful thoughts today are purposely anti- American.

Documents like the Federalist Papers were written to guard against the purposeful actions of a government like the one Barack Obama and the liberal’s have now created.

This country was built on the premise of treating everyone equally and giving equal chances to all. It was not built on giving the wealth of some to those who believe in redistributing the nation’s wealth for purposes of gaining votes. All of the President’s policies are designed to do just that. This president has taken the nation far from where Washington desired it to be.


Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime do we have a person like Washington directing the defense and the politics of our nation. Today, we have learned that Pakistan has arrested those who helped the CIA get Bin Ladin. What would Washington do? This should be what Obama is asking his advisors. Instead, he is asking how does this affect our 2012 re-election chances?

This week, the President joked about the jobs situation. He was in another meeting/ summit - the jobs and competiveness council which is chaired by Jeffery Immelt, CEO of General Electric, when asked about shovel ready jobs the President responded, “Shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we thought”. This might be an honest answer, but he said it with a laugh. The sad story behind this sad story is that a half dozen of the CEO’s on that panel have gotten rid of 20% of the jobs in this country! Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime do we get a panel like this one!

So when you read the FORUMS, make no mistake about the purpose or intent about the words and how the title makes up the words.

The Presidents intent and purpose is to change America, my intent and purpose is to restore America. Once in a blue moon, Once in a while, Once every now and then and, the most obvious, Once in a lifetime do we have a chance to restore our greatness.

A footnote: We get one chance in life, look at what Washington did, look at what Obama is doing and then make a choice and make your intent known! Write a letter write an Op Ed in your local paper. Just decide on a title and the purpose behind the title!
