Enough Already, Mr. President
Monday, Oct 14, 2013

Let me start by saying, this is not a Democrat vs. Republican piece. This is an “administration gone stupid” piece. These budget games have been played for years. These fights over who knows best have been played for years. But Mafia-style thuggery like this should be left in Chicago, New York, Miami...

Democratic Doublespeak
Wednesday, Oct 9, 2013

The fine line between politics and reality has become so blurred that the truth couldn’t be found in Washington if it were written on the Goodyear blimp and highlighted with fireworks. I refer to this as “Democrat doublespeak,” also known as talking out both sides of your mouth, or just plain gibberish....

Picking and Choosing Their Science
Monday, Oct 7, 2013

A recent study showed that adolescence now ends at age 25. With the findings, child psychologists can now work with these “children” until that age. According to the study, young people were experiencing an inferiority complex as a result of pressure to leave the home by age 18 or achieve other key...

Election Cost Compels Hart Board to Fill Seat by Appointment
Saturday, Sep 28, 2013

[KHTS] – Balancing the need for fiscal prudence with the need for the best representation often makes the appointment process a smarter choice, especially since an election is likely to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, a school official said Friday. “Many have said that we’re skirting...

Religious Freedom is for All, or None | Commentary by Joe Messina
Monday, Sep 23, 2013

I recently read a story about a public school that took students on a field trip to a mosque. At first I was outraged, as were many of my fellow conservatives. How dare they spend my tax money to go to such a place of hate, and an enemy to Americans, those jihadist-loving Muslims? To top it off, the...

For Al, It’s All About Color
Monday, Sep 16, 2013

For Al Sharpton, it’s all about color. Not reality, just color. Al Sharpton commented on his show this week that there are no black people on the board of Apple, and that 30 percent of the largest corporations in America have no black people on their boards. He and the guest on his show went on to...

Under God?
Monday, Sep 9, 2013

In the continuing saga of the attack on religion, the lefties are at it again. You know, that same group who tried to remove God from their platform … and failed. Remember them? Well, they just won’t go away, like a bad rash in the summer heat. My home state of Massachusetts has decided once...

Happy American Dream Day
Monday, Sep 2, 2013

Most of you know today as Labor Day. What exactly is Labor Day? Sounds like a day to celebrate work, but it isn’t. Maybe it’s a day where we celebrate the ability for women to give birth? Nope, not that, either. Labor Day isn’t just a day off with pay. And it’s not BBQ at the beach or a celebration...

I Was Wrong: There’s No War on ‘Religion’
Monday, Aug 26, 2013

I’ve been railing lately about the apparent war on religion in this country. On the radio show I hear story after story about someone’s religious freedom being challenged. But I was wrong. When I went back and reviewed this “war,” I realized it was all aimed at Christians. Yes, Christians. Skeptical?...

Voting-Rights Lawsuits Could Cost Taxpayers Millions
Wednesday, Aug 21, 2013

The data solicited by local school districts cited in this story was acquired through the discovery process in the lawsuits facing the school district. The data report was requested by school district  officials, who denied the request citing attorney-client privilege. Legal counsel for the districts...
