When speaking about those who might vote for Republican hopeful Mitt Romney, comedian (I use the term loosely) had this to say: If you're thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you. Let's all try to be … [Read more...]
The following is from the American Thinker and requires no further comment from me: The BLS reported the October 2012, U-3 unemployment rate at 7.9 percent. As Rick Moran says, "... the economy added a middling 171,000 jobs." (By the way, the U-3 unemployment rate among blacks is 14.3 percent, yet … [Read more...]
Having lost power earlier this week due to Hurricane Sandy, I decided to build a fire to help keep the family warm. Lacking the luxuries of electricity, I needed to hearken back to my Boy Scout days and go into survival mode. So I got the wood, newspapers, wood chips, twigs, etc. all set to get a … [Read more...]
People used to know what tolerance entailed. It was understood that even though your views were different from someone else's, you still treated them with respect. This view of tolerance has been abandoned for the most part by people who hold what are generally considered liberal views: … [Read more...]
I am always surprised at some of the terms people plugged into a search engine and found their way to my site. Some I understand, other I couldn't even replicate, let alone dicypher why on Earth search giants like Google or Bing would associate them with me. So Here's a peek into how some of you … [Read more...]
Note: I realize the following commentary may be controversial and seems to be backwards at first blush. So while reading this please try to keep from 'reading between the lines', 'interpreting my views and arguing as though my view and your interpretation are identical', and trying to figure out … [Read more...]
I have asked this question of supporters of same-sex marriage in a critical way in the past. I often wonder why it is important to you that I know your sexual proclivities. I don't particularly think this is information I essential for me to know regardless of your sexual identification, but it … [Read more...]
A few years ago my family and I were struggling to save money. Everything and anything we could do to save a buck was on the table. We were one of those families who lived almost exclusively on generic brand foods. We figured it's pretty much the same thing just without all the fancy packaging. … [Read more...]
Rights are kind of a tricky issue. We have come a long way from the past where rights were fewer. What I mean is today we seem to have more rights than in previous generations. Put another way, rights are things we as citizens are entitled to in virtue of our citizenship, they're what we're owed. … [Read more...]
I had been thinking about doing a post like this for a little while now. Here I've narrowed my top ten favorite posts from over the past three years. In no particular order: What Gives You The Right? Many defenders of abortion go further than claiming elective abortion is a right, they claim it is … [Read more...]
One recurring complain from Atheists is the problem of evil. Regardless of how this complaint is formulated, it is a persistent theme. It's certainly a valid complaint worthy of a response, but I think the Atheist has just as difficult a hurdle when trying to explain it through their worldview. … [Read more...]
It's my experience that many Atheists fault God for commanding the Israelites to kill peoples at His will. As I have heard it, they believe God is quite the monster when he demands no men, women, nor children be spared. Some Atheists have even described it as God commanding murder. My point here … [Read more...]
Now just saying voter fraud is illegal is...wait for it...Racist An election-related billboard in Cleveland's Ward 5 has caused a stir, prompting some complaints that it discriminates against minority groups and felons. The advertisement, posted at the intersection of Community College Avenue and … [Read more...]
Apparently today is a day observed by the gay community encouraging homosexuals who have kept their sexual proclivities private, to make those proclivities public. As a heterosexual I can completely empathize, I know how important it is that everyone knows I am sexually attracted to women. It is … [Read more...]

Ok, so as much as I hate to admit it, I watch reality shows with my wife. One of her favorites is Rehab with Dr. Drew. In past years, the series was a showcase of celebrities in need of rehab from drug and alcohol addictions. This year however, the show puts ordinary people with the same problems … [Read more...]
Wally encapsulates a lot of people...too many. We all know people like this, they have "strong" opinions on many things: Abortion, same-sex marriage, politics, and religion. The problem is that they seem to be impervious to any reasoning whatsoever. Wallys don't like to argue about their … [Read more...]
This speaks to the sensitivity of liberals. The fact that they'd offer this argument: Romney doesn't hug his garbage man or give him Gatorade, and is therefore unfit to be president. And what about the garbage man actually complaining that he isn't more loved? Well, Romney and his fellow community … [Read more...]
This a follow-up to my previous post having had a conversation with the person whom inspired the post in the first place to see what he thought. His main focus is on his definition of gratuitous evil. Gratuitous evil as he defines is evil that God could have prevented without missing out on some … [Read more...]
If there is one objection to the existence of God which I think I can sympathize with, it's the problem of evil. It is emotionally compelling since we have all experienced evil to one degree or another in our lives, and much of it may seem rather gratuitous. Briefly, I take gratuitous evil to mean … [Read more...]
