OPINION / COMMENTARY / BLOGS
Is Truth Alive, Anywhere?
Monday, May 5, 2014

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...

A Whole New Meaning to ‘Threesome’
Tuesday, Apr 29, 2014

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...

Transparency | Commentary by Joe Messina
Tuesday, Apr 22, 2014

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...

Round ‘Em Up – They’re Illegal
Monday, Apr 14, 2014

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...

Planned Racism
Monday, Apr 7, 2014

A few weeks ago, President Obama decided to insult Pope Francis by giving the blessed rosary beads given to him by the Pope to Nancy Pelosi. The first insult: Re-gifting something that a leader of one of the largest religious groups in the world gave him. Really? It’d be like giving Qurans signed by...

The Pledge Is a Weapon
Monday, Mar 31, 2014

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...

The Hypocrisy of Choice
Monday, Mar 24, 2014

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...

Inconvenient Untruths
Monday, Mar 17, 2014

When is the truth a lie? When Harry Reid says so. No, really. Using today’s standards, it’s a wonder any conversations, and subsequent actions, take place. We have heard some of these over and over. They speak it like it’s a fact, but it isn’t. Stay with me for a moment. “You can keep your...

Diversity at CPAC, Oh My
Monday, Mar 10, 2014

Can you believe the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference – held by a group of white, elitist, stuffy old men – was infiltrated by blacks, homosexuals, Hispanics, Asians and atheists? Oh, my. What is this world coming to? What’s really crazy is that so many on the left wrote lies...

Sit-in de Mayo?
Monday, Mar 3, 2014

Where is she? Many of the Tea Party, right-wing, Bible-thumping, mom-and-apple-pie type of people are being made out to be lunatics. Why? For loving God, country and freedom. It seems that loving America enough to make her a priority is unconstitutional. At least according to the very grounded and always...
