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…
As many of you may already know, I have recently been afforded the opportunity and the honor to serve with Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition as Field Director of the Minnesota Faith & Freedom Coalition. I’m serving with a phenomenal group of individuals, including but not limited to former gubernatorial candidate and former Minnesota Representative Tom Emmer,…
I had planned to post on immigration today, but when inspiration hits, it hits. The subject is an innocent piece of ground-up tree bits covered in warm, inviting colors that come together to create an image that hearkens back to childhood. On it there are several snowmen side by side, with a simple message, “Merry…
A few days ago, America watched as the GOP presidential candidates discussed our National Security. Now more than ever, we live in a world full of hideous individuals who desire the demise of innocent people and even entire societies. Prior to 9/11, I’d venture to say that the average American couldn’t name anyone on the…
Some people get jittery when they don’t have their morning coffee. Some people feel completely disconnected if they miss the morning news. Still others get anxious if their cell phone isn’t within arm’s reach. I, however, pace around when I haven’t been able to post for longer than a few days! Ok, fine- I’ll admit…
I want to start out today by posing two questions. What is a “human right”? Is something a “right” if it encroaches upon the rights of another? The concept of “human rights” is defined wonderfully in our own Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that…
