The other day I posted “How Ironic” to alert you all to what was happening at Butler University.  It was announced over the last two days that the University was dropping its lawsuit (see “Butler Drops Suit Against Student Blogger”) against the anonymous student blogger.  But it was also indicated that there was still the […]

I was driving down I-35 one afternoon when I saw a billboard that made the key to health care reform crystal clear to me.
As much as we need to deal with health insurance portability, pre-existing conditions, and the millions of uninsured, the biggest problem — the one we absolutely must address — is rising health […]

You may or may not know that I am a participant in “The Clergy Project” and its Evolution weekend project (www.evolutionweekend.org).  But this is not the reason for this particular post.
Jess Zimmerman is a junior at Butler University who wrote some blog articles that were critical of the treatment of his stepmother who was removed […]

Up until a couple of years ago, I was a big fan of divided government, that is, one political party in the White House and the other party in charge of Capitol Hill. But then something happened– I caught a strange virus. I started to believe that having only one party in power might prove […]

That is the question raised in light of Lord Christopher Monckton’s speech last week in Minnesota.
That is a position that some on the left who want a larger global agenda trump US sovereignty would claim.  At the center of the debate is the 2nd clause of Article VI of the US Constitution which reads:
This Constitution, […]

Two unrelated articles that flickered across my screen today have got me wondering if we’re being had.
Let’s review the recent history of the health care reform debate: After watching Washington spend billions screwing up the bank bailout and the stimulus, large numbers of the public told their Congressmen they didn’t want any kind of publicly […]

Today is Blog Action Day 2009. To date, I’ve participated in Blog Action Day, but this year I can’t.
The hysteria over global warming “climate change” is ridiculous.
Our planet might be getting warmer. Human behavior might be influencing that warming. Destroying our economy with Kyoto might reduce far future warming 1%.
But since the warming trend appears […]

Sarah Palin has piece that was published this morning for National Review, and she opens by stating, “Petroleum is a major part of America’s energy picture.  Shall we get it here or abroad?”  This follows a Facebook post regarding the desire of Gulf oil producers to replace the dollar in pricing oil with a […]

An article in the Daily Mail Online, dated October 14, details the exploits of a woman “addicted to abortion.” Irene Vilar has admitted to having fifteen abortions in a seventeen plus years period of time. She has written a book on her experience entitled, Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of an Abortion Addict.
Her exploits have created quite […]

It’s increasingly PC to spit on the memory of Columbus and his intrepid band of explorers. After all, you can’t “discover” a place that already has people in it! And then introducing them to disease, slavery, and colonialism simply ruins all chances of having a Hallmark holiday in your honor.
But I think ol’ Chris is […]

When I heard that Pres. Obama had been given the Nobel Peace Prize, so many thoughts ran through my head:
7. We’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.
6. Al Gore’s prize is no longer the committee’s biggest embarrassment.
5. His reward for throwing Poland and Israel under the bus.
4. Maybe I’ll win next year.
3. This […]

Periodically throughout the day, I have been reading the ponderments of many on the left and on the right, in editorial and on the blogosphere, concerning the announcement that President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. I have read many thoughtful reflections from people who believe the president is a good choice and from […]

The recent arrest of fugitive and film maker Roman Polanski for fleeing before being sentenced for raping a fourteen year old girl thirty years ago, is another reminder of the lack of a moral compass that is continually displayed by so many in the Hollywood community. It is a shock, but it is not a […]
