During last evening’s speech before congress and the nation, President Obama was heckled by Joe Wilson, who screamed out, “You Lie!” when Obama stated illegal immigrants would receive no coverage under his health care plan. It does not matter if you agree or disagree with Joe Wilson; this was rude and should not be tolerated. During speeches to congress, it is against standards for anyone to heckle or state comments during the presidents speech. It does not matter the president; it is something that is not heard of. Joe Wilson may have felt it was his right to make this statement; however all he has done is damage his own argument.

President Obama’s Health Care Speech – Review
Posted: September 10, 2009 at 12:27 am by Nathan Driskell
President Obama’s speech regarding health care reform was presented to the nation on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. This speech was presented live, and was available on most major networks. The speech, clocking in at less then one hour, focused on Obama’s description of health care reform. Below is my interpertaton of the speech, and includes my personal opinions. I suggest you watch the video yourself and form your own opinion. I am an Independent Conservative, and am rational and can form my own opinion. I have decided to review the speech with an open mind, and see what Obama plans in his health care plan.
President Obama’s Health Care Speech: Pay Attention
Posted: September 9, 2009 at 1:10 pm by Nathan Driskell
This evening President Obama will make a prime time speech concerning the current state of governmental run health care reform. One can assume Obama’s job will be to convince Americans that health care reform is an urgent requirement that cannot be ignored. While this will most likely include tactics to sell the plan, there are numerous questions that need to be answered. With his speech running around the 35 minute mark, I think we all need to be mindful of the following questions Obama needs to answer tonight.
President Obama’s Speech to School Children: A Review
Posted: September 8, 2009 at 10:31 pm by Nathan Driskell
Now that the speech has been delivered, it is time to finally review the finished product. As you may be aware, many Republicans were afraid Obama’s speech was intended to brainwash the nation’s kids to Obama’s socialist agenda. The White House decided to make a preview of the speech available on Monday so parents can decide if they want their children to hear the speech. The preview, in my opinion, was a speech aimed at personal responsibility for our children to do well in school. I did not detect a socialist agenda within the preview. Now that the actual speech has been delivered, we can now review the final product.
President Obama’s Speech to School Children: A Preview
Posted: September 7, 2009 at 2:43 pm by Nathan Driskell
It is now labor day of 2009, and President Obama has given a draft of the speech he intends to tell the nation’s school children tomorrow. Many were afraid the speech would be used as an attempt to influence school children to Obama’s agenda. Overall, I felt these people needed to grow up, as you do not yet know the content of the speech to form a rational opinion. Now that a preview of the speech has been made available from the white house, we can now review it’s contents.
President Obama’s Speech to School Children: Time to Grow Up
Posted: September 7, 2009 at 12:25 am by Nathan Driskell
I sometimes think we have entered into a universe where all logic and sanity have faded from existence. President Obama is going to give a speech on Tuesday to the nation’s school children on, supposedly, staying in school. Some seem to view this as unacceptable, stating the real intention is to brainwash children into accepting Obama’s socialist vision. Many school districts are allowing children to skip the speech if approved by their parents. These children will be allowed to go to study hall or someplace where they will not be exposed to the speech. Overall, I find this pathetic, for reasons you may not expect.
Both Parties are the Same
Posted: September 6, 2009 at 3:53 pm by Nathan Driskell
You read the title correctly, both political parties in the US are the same; both do not give a damn about you. The main goal for each political party is to keep itself in power, or to gain more power. I imagine many from both sides are foaming at the mouth right now for being called the same as their rival, however from my perspective it is true. Both parties use the same tactics while they are out of power, as a means of gaining future power. The current health care debate proves that very well.
PHP MYSQL Database Connection Function

If you are beginning to work with php and mysql, you may have wondered how to create a connection to a database you can reuse. The best method is to create a file with the database connection function within it, and include it in any page you wish to have database access. This saves you from duplicate code, with less chances of error. It is also rather easy to set up, so that’s get going.
Home Schooling Outlawed in Sweden
Posted: September 1, 2009 at 10:58 pm by Nathan Driskell
According to Mike Farris, founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, stated the right for parents to home school their children in Sweden will be revoked. The only exceptions to this will be children with medical exceptions and children of foreign workers with appropriate work visas. Parents wishing to teach their children for religious reasons will be forced to send their children to public school and may face stiff penalties if they refuse. Sweden is adopting the German model, where home schooling is outlawed.
