Obama, Sputnik, and the Beaver
It’s not often that President Obama compliments the Republicans for their efforts to move the nation in a positive, conservative direction, and I think we should recognize and commend the president for doing so recently. Understand, I’m not absolutely certain Obama was meaning to be complimentary when he said the Republicans wanted to “take [...]
Stuff Happens
I was minding my own business in a local coffee shop just the other day, twirling the foam on my half caf, fat free, triple shot, ginseng laced, mocha encrusted grande latte (or something like that) when an argument broke out at a nearby table. “THEY ought to do something about it!” screamed a [...]
The Left’s War on Christianity
Most of us grew up hearing the Bible quotation of turn the other cheek and we, as Christians, were taught tolerance and forgiveness, virtues that are necessary for any civilized society to grow and flourish. However, the time has come for Christians to unite regardless of their individual denomination. We, and our moral beliefs, [...]
State of the States
For over four hundred years, the North American continent has been the promised land in one way or another. Columbus and his ships, after a dangerous voyage, discovered this place and it caught the imagination of the old world. Its been fought over, bled for, died for, defended, and remained till modern times a bastion [...]
No H8? Really?
Last Wednesday was “National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” and boy did their customers show how much they appreciate the company, their food, and their leadership’s expression of their First Amendment Right to free speech. Many on the left said their speech was hateful. Ponder that. For a company to say that “we believe in traditional Christian [...]
The Man Who Quit Money: Of Parasites and Men
Book Review by Marjorie Haun The Man Who Quit Money By Mark Sundeen Published March, 2012 Mark Sundeen’s book, “The Man Who Quit Money,” has been called “a thought-provoking and respectful account of one man’s search for meaning in a world preoccupied with money and the things it buys.” (Deseret News 3/10/12). The A.V. [...]
The Theft of Human Goodness
A recent quote from Mike Beebe, a Democrat and the Governor of Arkansas, about the expansion of Medicaid should be the poster child (make that poster article) for all that is wrong with the Democrat party in its current state. I am almost ashamed to affirm the fact that I was once a Democrat myself, [...]
Why I’m Opposed To Abortion
It seems like in modern day America the “abortion rights” debate is one that has been hijacked by corrupt politicians. The Republicans use it as a rallying cry to get God fearing souls to the polls. The Democrats send out millions of mass emails alerting washed up graying hippies that there’s an ongoing war [...]
Persuading the Body Politic, One Heart at a Time
Clink! Clink! Cha Chink! I expected three one dollar bills to come out of the vending machine, but instead I got three shiny, gold-colored Thomas Jefferson dollar coins. I scooped them up, dropped them in my coin purse, and headed off to hear the afternoon speeches by Bill Bennett, Frank Gaffney, and Geert Wilders. Between [...]
Alcohol is Not a Rationale For Legalized Pot
Whenever I write about the pitfalls of legalized weed I can always expect the following response from Ron Paul followers, potheads, and Conservatives who purport to lean Libertarian: “Well, why is alcohol legal and pot isn’t? Alcohol gets you high and trillions of people die each year in drunk driving crashes!” The answer [...]
