Institutions of Higher Learning – About Sex
Monday, Aug 19, 2013

If you’re like most parents, you want what’s best for your kids. You want them to get the kind of education that will help them get have a great life and a good, steady job where they love what they do and have a chance to advance. And if you’re like most parents, other than that initial trip...

Dems Rewrite 200 Years of History
Monday, Aug 12, 2013

Did you ever drive home from work or an event late at night, and when you pulled into your driveway, you really didn’t remember how you got there? This has been documented by many professionals, and it’s like sleep walking, only it’s sleep driving. Some people have even awakened to find themselves...

A Living Wage – at McDonald’s?
Monday, Aug 5, 2013

The English language has become fluid. We no longer add or remove words; we simply change them on the fly, depending on what group we’re speaking to. Unless you were in a coma this past week, you should have heard about the strike at McDonald’s in seven different major cities across the country....

‘I Inhaled?’ He Never Stopped
Monday, Jul 29, 2013

In 2006, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama declared that he had “inhaled; that was the point.” In a moment of total, unadulterated truth, the now-president admitted to doing something illegal. Nonetheless, he told the truth and admitted to it – something it seems he has not been able to do in at least five...

Liberty and Justice for All?
Monday, Jul 22, 2013

“With liberty and justice for all” are great and noble words, but really, they are that –  words. Unless we’ve all agreed upon the meaning of these words – or any words, for that matter – they are meaningless. And unless we are willing to act upon these words, based on the agreed-upon...

Whose Truth? Zimmerman Not Guilty
Monday, Jul 15, 2013

Is anyone really surprised at the outcome? I don’t mean that from the cynical viewpoint of “what the white man did to the black man.” I mean it from an honest, level-headed attempt to apply the actual law – not justice as you perceive it to be. The plain, simple fact is that the prosecution...

Is Earth Spinning in Reverse?
Monday, Jul 8, 2013

While celebrating the Fourth of July, sitting around and thanking God for the freedoms that our forefathers fought and died for, I got a chill down my spine. You know, the kind you get when it feels like there is someone else in the room with you but there really isn’t? A recent study shows that nearly...

Happy Birthday, America
Monday, Jul 1, 2013

This week we celebrate 237 years of existence. We celebrate a great experiment. Our founding fathers signed their death warrant on July 4, 1776. Would you have done the same? When most Americans think of the founding fathers they think of eight or nine courageous guys, usually Jefferson, Adams, Franklin,...

Quit Rewarding Mediocrity
Monday, Jun 24, 2013

When I was a child, we were told to work hard, be honest, do your best, stand out, run faster, push, push, push. That’s how you get ahead. That is so old-school. No, no, Johnny. Don’t strain yourself. Come over here, grab this Xbox controller and relax. Johnny, put that homework away. You look stressed....

We Have a Guaranteed Freedom of Nothing
Monday, Jun 17, 2013

Last week we celebrated more than 230 years of protection from the United States Army. These brave men and women have been dying for our freedom to be stupid for a long time. I am enraged by this administration’s recent attack on the military, and even more so by the administration’s inability to...
