Bear with me, people. This is going to be a long one. I think it’s worth the read. As I visited with my family over Labor Day weekend, we (shockingly) slipped into the discussion of politics. I happened upon an article in my local paper by a Mr. Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg News, entitled “You…
As I sat pondering my two previous posts regarding the recent, rather hypocritical actions of the Plymouth City Council, I wondered what kind of response I might get if I flat-out asked them if they would have given the same permission to a Christian Church. So, here’s the letter: My prediction? A blasé, perhaps auto-generated response…
Let’s get this straight once and for all: Did our Founders mean for religion to be so shunned by the government (at all levels), and if so, what part of our Constitution mandates it as such? We’ll begin with a little history. Many of the Founders were indeed Deists; and several of them really cannot…
The United States Postal Service is just a smidge “in-the-red” as of late. As of fiscal year 2010, it posted a loss of 8.5 billion dollars, to be exact. Ouch. As a result, USPS has decided to close several thousand Post Office locations nationwide. My local Post Office in Plymouth, Minnesota, faced this fate. Until,…
Word on the street is Barack Obama’s extra-constitutional (and might I say, hypocritical) entrance into Libya has paid off as dictator, murderer, and all-around shady character Muammar al-Qaddafi’s regime all but completely collapsed as rebels have taken control of Tripoli and other major cities. Just listen to the glowing report from President Obama: “The future…
For those individuals living in a cave on September 11th, 2001, I would like to introduce a few groups that the U.S. State Department deems as “foreign terrorist organizations.” I thought that by doing so, it might help people understand the true meaning of the word “terrorism. There are 48 on the foreign list: We’ll…
I was met with an interesting exchange today. I had a chance to ask someone I know to be a devoted Democrat, whether or not they would vote for Barack Obama again after everything we’ve seen thus far. Skyrocketing unemployment. Stock market roller coaster rides. A credit downgrade. An exploding national debt. I didn’t bring any…
For the first time in U.S. History, our financial standing in the world has been downgraded. Our credit rating was given the boot by Standard and Poor’s, (“S&P”) after repeated warnings of the possibility. Our AAA credit rating, since its establishment in 1917, has endured World War I, the Great Depression, FDR’s big-spending presidency, World…
The markets plummeted yesterday in the worst single day slump since 2008. All the while, the President continues to blame everyone and everything but his own ideas. It must be hard for the mainstream media; after all, they must be running out of ways to excuse away his policy failures. I suppose after two “recovery”…
As promised, an analysis of the outcome of the debt debate! Obama got his debt ceiling hike, and Republicans got their cuts….or did they? I want to put a few things in perspective before I start throwing the words billion and trillion around like confetti. Consider this: A million seconds ago, it was July 22,…
