Many of you have more than likely seen the movie, “Remember the Titans.” Those of you who have seen it remember the movie for the end result- the unlikely coming together of teammates; but more importantly, of human beings. It is an amazing true story. There is a particular exchange between characters in the movie…
“I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a…
Let me pose the following questions: Are we not all Americans? Are we not all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? No matter if Caucasian or African; Hispanic or Asian; short or tall; male or female; young or old. . . are…
Once upon a time, we lived in a nation where laws and freedoms did not vary with the currents of race, religion, gender, or political party. Just a few generations ago the likes of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks (among many others) fought to ensure that this was entirely so. In just a few…
I was reminded once again this past week that I am very, very human. As such, very, very susceptible to mystery viruses whose sole source of entertainment must undoubtedly be to see me flat on my back for days at a time, accomplishing absolutely nothing. Translation?

I pose a simple question to you, my valued blog readers. It’s a question that seems so simple, yet so many have turned this question’s topic into a convoluted, illogical pile of silliness that I really wish didn’t merit mentioning. It’s tantamount to arguing incessantly that 2+2 in fact DOES equal 19. I’m going to…
“To whom much is given, much will be required.” Those are words from the Gospel of Luke, and were recently used by our President at the National Prayer Breakfast. While Luke would probably scoff at the idea of his (rather, God’s) words being used as a means through which to prop up the concept of…
In Monday night’s Fox News/WSJ debate, Fox News‘ Juan Williams “challenged Gingrich for his statements calling President Obama a ‘food stamp president’ and advocating that kids learn the work ethic by doing, for instance, janitorial work at schools. Gingrich has thrived throughout the debate season on combat with moderators and Williams was straying into his…
We must be very, very careful how we finish out this primary season. We must be careful that we are not simply stocking the war chest of attack-ad ideas of the Obama Campaign strategy brain trust. In other words, let’s not make David Axelrod’s job easier. The problem? Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. I’m gonna…
This just might be my shortest blog ever. But, the point needs to be made! The media was abuzz today with the news that unemployment has fallen to 8.5%. First of all, that’s worth celebrating? 8.5% unemployment in a nation of 300 some million people merits a ticker-tape parade? I think not. But that’s not…
