I love receiving emails from people responding to issues posted on my website, both positive and negative. Some pieces are written by fellow hosts, bloggers and other writers, but all are issues worth discussing. I recently posted one about the “birther” issue. There are still investigations as to...

This story is tragic … for the family of the victims and the shooter, and for a community that will be, for a time, trying to piece it all together. I mean no disrespect to the families, victims, doctors or responders to this event. Over the weekend, a disturbed young man killed six people (three...

I am often accused of hate for many reasons. My stance on gay marriage, abortion, minimum wage, illegal immigration or the war on women. You know, all the hot buttons that immediately label you as a hater. So says “the tolerant group.” Interesting. By definition of the Left, a hater is one who doesn’t...

When I was a kid (yes, when a tablet device was an Etch A Sketch) my Dad advised me to get a job with AT&T or Edison or the government. Why? Because they would be around forever and it’s nearly impossible to get fired, especially as a civil service or union member. Fast forward 30-some years only...

I have had this mindset that truth prevails, and I believe truth will always win, eventually, not always at first, but it will always win. The Bible calls the truth “light” and light always drives out darkness. It seems in today’s society truth is a fleeting 140-character-or-less thing. Mainstream...

I read a story last week about a couple… I mean a “trouple,” that recently got “married.” Now, I know there will be a few of you jumping all over my stuff because you think I am coming down on this because they are three lesbians! Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with this. It has...

Jay Carney recently said, “this White House is the most transparent White House ever.” Wow. Really? Does he live in one of the states where you can easily get marijuana? Does he have a different definition of “transparent” than the rest of the planet? Maybe he is using the Obama unabridged dictionary...

No, no, no silly. Not the illegal aliens. The ones grazing on grass. We have all been hearing about Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who has been fighting the Bureau of Land Management for almost 20 years now. He feels that because his family settled the land in the early 19th Century and has been using...

So say two council members in Bangor, Maine. I had to read it twice myself. They refuse to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance because they believe it’s being used as a political weapon. How, you ask? They won’t answer that question. That’s right. As some do, they simply make a statement...

Let me start with the proverbial poke in the eye. Why does a woman get to play God? For nearly four years, I’ve been covering stories about abortion, right to life and sanctity of life. The common thread in every case is, the woman holds all the cards. The man has no rights at all. Except when it comes...
