Economic Expert Forecasts a Perfect Global Storm and Draws a Connection between Worldview, Finance, and Politics
Enumclaw, WA (PRWEB) January 03, 2012
Finances and politics are major issues impacting our culture today. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 the average American household income decreased and the official poverty rate rose to 15.1 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009. In 2010 there were 46.2 million Americans living in poverty, the largest number in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been published. *
America, says author and economist, Stephen Johnston, B.S., J.D., is at a financial crossroads; its citizens have been seduced. Too long has the United States relied upon the crumbling foundation of a welfare state. Following the implementation of the New Deal of the 1930s, says Johnston, President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised rights such as jobs, homes, medical care, freedom from unemployment, and education. And the government, promised Roosevelt, would provide them.
Government took the place of God and personal responsibility,” says Johnston. “Unfortunately, as countries such as Greece, Portugal, and Ireland have discovered, when they run out of other peoples money to fund these collective rights, they go bankrupt.
WinePress Publishing is pleased to announce their partnership with Johnston in the release of his book, The Tea Party Culture War: A Clash of Worldviews (2011). A type of systematic Manifesto of The Tea Party Movement, Tea Party Culture War offers an in-depth study of economics, politics, prophecy, and moral ethics as they relate to the Tea Party movement. By focusing on fiscal conservatism, Johnston shows the necessity of going back to a sound money system such as a return to the gold standard.
Johnston indicates, The Tea Party Movement represents American taxpayers who are tired of career politicians who make a living buying votes with taxpayers hard-earned money . . . They are frustrated with the current economic policies and feel abused by both the Republican and Democrat politicians. They are fed up with watching the U.S. dollar take the slow path of destruction from the imposition of inflation, sloth, theft, and waste.
The issue is deeper than politics and economics, says Johnston. Its spiritual in nature and is reflected from the collective worldview of a countrys citizens. The 2012 presidential election will have profound and long-lasting ramifications. Will our nation become a godless socialist country or an economically sound one, based on traditional biblical values?

Expert Tips: Cocktail Parties Done Right With Ravi Wine Products
(PRWEB) October 26, 2011
When you open your doors for a cocktail party, you want to do it right. Everything hangs on being the hostess with the most-est. Its natural to want to wow and please your guests by setting the right atmosphere, and impressing them with delicious foods and proper drinks. Have you always wanted to host a wine-tasting shindig, but dont know the first thing about vino? Dont stress! The following tips will ensure an evening of entertaining success, even for the first-timers out there:
Get Organized! It’s the secret to a successful party. You know, the ones that go off without a hitch and leave everyone buzzing the following day. But where do you start? Grab a notepad and create lists so you are sure to cover the bases: guests, menu, d?cor, and cocktails. Once youve cleared your mind of the essentials, you are free to get creative and start thinking of personal touches you want to sprinkle in to the upcoming event.
Spin That Track! Decide the music genre appropriate for your guests and prepare a mix of songs on your computer or entertainment system. Make sure to have this set up in advance so during the party you can turn it on, and walk away. You dont want to spend the whole night changing songs, or youll miss out on good conversation.
Have a little extra time? Make a back up genre that includes dance music, in the event your guests want to start groovin’.
Get Your Drink On! Come up with one or two fun mixed drinks. Have them mixed and ready to pour into pitchers, so guests can help themselves. Make sure to have a nice selection of white and red wine. The importance of serving and drinking wine at the right temperature is integral to a proper wine experience – and a great way to ensure a perfect pour is with the Ravi Instant Wine Refresher, an innovative tool that instantly and simultaneously aerates and transforms room temperature wine to that of a wine cellar, between 54 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
Even the wine connoisseurs at the party will be impressed with your serving expertise. Especially if you keep the white wines chilled properly throughout the evening in the Ravi Foldable Ice Bucket. Not only do these buckets keep the temperature just right, but they also make great parting gifts for your cocktail party guests (folds up to fit in their pockets!).
Lets Eat! Now that the music is spinning, and drinks are flowing, its time to indulge in delectable cuisine. Hors d’oeuvres are usually easiest to make and convenient to eat while socializing over cocktails. Offer five to seven choices with a mix of cold and hot. You don’t want the kitchen too hot, nor do you want to be stuck at the stove all night. Be sure to offer a few vegetarian appetizers also, so that there is something for everyone. Scatter bowls of nuts, and other grab-as-you-pass cocktail snacks throughout the entertaining area so that no one leaves hungry.
Thats it! Feeling ready to put on the cocktail party of the year? You should be Its simple and fun, and if you follow the tips above, your friends are sure to enjoy a night filled with flawless service, memorable atmosphere, and wine that will properly satisfy their palates. Cheers to you, hostess with the most-est!
