Not all religions are under attack. It seems the emphasis is on Christian-based religions. Let’s review a couple of examples.
According to the AP and other news sources, an LGBTQ group (for the uniformed that stands for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer”) has asked that a priest be removed...

“The Bible,” a five-week series on the History Channel, has ended. No big deal. Who’d watch this kind of thing anyway, and who cares?
The most-watched TV shows are reality shows. Don’t you want to watch shows where people are worse off and nastier than you? And let’s not forget “The Walking...

The liberals are at it again. We have a new Pope. I am not a Catholic, but I say “we” because I understand the importance of the Pope and the influence he has for Catholics around the world. More than one billion Catholics acknowledge him as the spiritual leader of the church on this earth.

As I’m reading what the liberal media have to say about the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), apparently I was not only at a different event, but I was also in an alternate universe.

For weeks leading up to the big sequestration event, we were told how the country’s critically needed services were going to come to a grinding halt. Thousands of planes would be grounded because FAA air traffic controllers would be laid off, houses would burn down due to all of the laid-off firemen,...

It is my opinion, and I do believe, that religion of any kind is under attack here in America. However, the primary targets, for now, are Christian.
Let’s start with the pope announcing his resignation due to health issues. The news was a big deal both inside and outside of the Catholic community....

When I was a kid, February was an exciting month. I didn’t necessarily have a Valentine, but I had Dorothy.
Yes, February was always the month that “The Wizard of Oz” played on TV – in the days before VCRs, DVDs and NetFlix. It was a big event that I looked forward to and scheduled around....

I always love to read about local races and the candidates involved. I love the well-wishers, and when someone like me speaks out against the political neophytes, they get pummeled. Then there are always those “democracy” fanatics who say, “This is the democratic process at work.” Really?
Why...

As a kid I remember having our GHC Club. That was the “Girls have Cooties” Club, if you were wondering. Only boys, and more specifically, only local shoe shine boys, were members.
That was the early 1970s. I lived in the city streets of Boston, before it was cool to live in a city like that, by the...
