Let them speak for themselves. What was “unconstitutional” and “arrogant” when Bush was in power suddenly makes a lot of sense to the Democrats. Gee, I wonder where that Gang of 14 is now that we really need them. »

On this, the eve of Obama’s attempt to strong arm Congress to adopt his plan for socialized medicine, I think it is wise to listen to these words from Ronald Reagan recorded in 1961 – it is AMAZING how the arguments are the same. Reagan’s cautionary words are still applicable. The bottom line: The Leftists... »

Drudge is making a big deal of the fact that the U.S. Senate passed a so-called “jobs” bill today and Scott Brown voted for it. Oh no! Whatever will we do with a Republican who votes with the Dems once in awhile. I noticed no one is fussing about the fact that Ben Nelson,... »

Ok, maybe you’ve seen THIS and maybe you haven’t. The Mayor of Las Vegas – former attorney for the mob – Oscar Goodman, has refused to meet with, or even greet, President Obama during the latter’s trip to Sin City.

I was disgusted and let the people I was watching the game with know perhaps crossing some social boundaries. What else is new? The Weekly Standard... »

I wonder how many people had the same reaction I did to the Tim Tebow ad put out by Focus on the Family. After all the hype I expected something at least mildly in your face. Instead, the ad was just mild. We learned a couple of things from this escapade. First, anything in the... »

I just got home from conducting a Singles’ Retreat in Kansas City. One of the classes I teach is a course in personal financial management – I do very basic stuff, but believe me, it is needed. Anyway, when I go over the section on investing – the power of time and compounding interest... »

In 1923, J Gresham Machen penned Christianity and Liberalism. The inclusion of the conjunction “and” was both intentional and indicative of the thesis of his still-celebrated volume: There is a fundamental difference and distinction between Christianity and Liberalism.
