God Damn America!

I have had enough of people judging the reverend Jeremiah Wright in their own patriotic terms for a religious statement he made from the pulpit.  Other articles and sources may point out the reverends service to America in the Marines, the Navy, and in medicine to defend his patriotism.  In agreement with these views, I think when his service [...]

Why should Obama accept public funding?

What is the difference in these two scenarios?
1) Taxes collected from citizens who willingly give $3 on tax forms are used to send out fliers, have people canvass neighborhoods, play television commercials, and essentially tell professional quality lies that the country will be better off with one candidate over another.
2) Individuals give $20, $50, or even $2300 to a candidate of [...]

Bush Approved Torture?

I don’t see any other way to explain this.

Dirty Laundry Act (Media Shield)

In yet another shining example of big governments zest for power and the audacity that their actions should never be held accountable by the people of this country, the complaint hot line is ringing from up high over this legislation. Simply put, this legislation provides that journalists do not have to identify their sources when [...]

Back to Back

I encourage everyone to read Barak Obama’s most recent speech.  Not the one about Blacks and Whites and why can’t we all just get along, the one about our security and freedom and why the Iraq war needs to end.

 Regardless of my beliefs about the role that government institutions should have in the lives of individuals, [...]

What is wrong with Jeremiah Wright?

If Social Conservatives had any sense at all, they would ponder the meaning of the pastors message and not be so afraid of the words of one angry black man. 
“The U.S. of KKK” - In the past, KKK activists have held political positions in State governments.  They have been judges.  They have been attorneys.  They have been [...]

To seat, or not to seat.

The Democratic party and their dilemma of how to handle the situation in Florida and Michigan is doing wonders to enforce the stereotype that Democrats will pander to anyone who wishes to shrug off personal responsibility.  I mean come on, “We knew the rules, we broke them, were not sorry, we won’t make any promises that we won’t do it [...]

The reality of Free Trade

Trade, in the classic economical sense, is advantageous to all parties. What follows is a brief economics lesson on how this is true. All figures and parties are purely hypothetical.
Jamaica can grow 150 bushels of bananas and 75 bushels of apples per acre.
Michigan can grow only 10 bushels of bananas per acre and [...]

Increased taxes on Big Oil - Right Idea, Wrong Approach.

If Congress wants to remove tax breaks that the oil companies are receiving which other industries do not enjoy, then this is not such a big deal to me even as I recognize it may end up increasing the price of fuel at the pump.  This is not certain as George Bush says, though, because of [...]

Ending the Creation vs. Evolution Debate

Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground…”
Genesis 2:19 “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air..”

Taking these two separate verses and putting them next to each other leads to a revelation that will frustrate and infuriate [...]

Are their words their own?

One of Senator Obama’s recent speeches has been criticized by a member of the Clinton team for bearing striking similarities to a speech given by Deval Patrick in his campaign for Massachusetts governor in 2006.  As it turns out, Obama and Patrick are said to be friends who had previous conversations together on the subject matter of the speech [...]
