Shangri-la exists!

Bob swears that he only has a cheap little digital camera with him, but some of the photos he and Claire have gathered are breathtaking and amazing.

Confession: I am a hypocrite

Two-face Editor

I guess it’s time for me to come clean and admit that I am a hypocrite. Maybe I’m not the worst kind of hypocrite, but a hypocrite just the same.

Obama’s Promises

President Obama

Instead of using the majority support and powers available to him, President Obama seems to have become America’s number one procrastinator…

Beware: Bank Credit Cards – 2

Credit cards

Banks are freezing accounts without any warning, and are also extending their actions to accounts owned by third parties that would not normally be responsible for paying off another person’s debt…

According to Bob, they suffered some scratches, bruises, and maybe a slight concussion. But they will take a day or two to rest and heal and then continue on their way.

Beware: Bank Credit Cards

Don't mix cash and credit

This policy is creating situations where bank customers are unable to make purchases or do online banking even when they have substantial balances in their cash accounts. In some cases, they can’t even make payments between accounts within their own bank, unless they go to a bank branch to handle the transactions.

If you are in that type of situation with your bank, I strongly suggest that you either move your cash accounts to another bank as soon as you can – or payoff and close all credit cards and other loans with your bank.

Welcome to the Editors’ Blog

I started JustOneOpinion.com in 2006 as a very simple opinion page on Blogger.com. I was the only writer and I barely had time to give it any attention at all, so it very quickly languished and died. That original site is still out there if you search hard enough for it, but like most Blogger pages and WordPress.com blog pages, it was eventually pushed far into the background and just disappeared among all the other trash. While a few blogs have managed to survive and even prosper, there are literally millions of “free-hosted” blog sites that have gone unread and undiscovered as they disappeared deep into those bottomless pits of inanity.

In 2007, co-editor Dick Kelly and I decided to expand JustOneOpinion.com into a joint effort, setting it up so that both of us could use it to publish our opinions on current news events and to discuss religious beliefs and practices in America. But “JOO”, as we came to call it, was still just a simple blog.

The Worst Kind of Liberal Conservative?

Congressman Joe Wilson

Liberals, primarily Democrats, lie is support of the president and the liberal agenda. Conservatives, primarily Republicans, lie in opposition to the president and the liberal agenda. Businessmen, most notably those connected with financial institutions, lie to everybody.
