Life is a coin-flip for some

I'm not quite sure how to approach this issue so I'll just be blunt.  I don't see how blacks can so adamantly support Democrats given how pro-abortion the party is.  If you are black in America, your being born is virtually a coin-flip, and Liberal politicians seem to consider it their duty to … [Read more...]

The political season is upon us

I would consider myself a political junkie. I have been for some time now. I really look forward to political ad campaigns: complaining about the ones with which I disagree, and nodding along with the one in line with my views. In fact I have to race my wife to the phone so she can't hang up on a … [Read more...]

Is Christianity really the problem?

Judging by the outrage and accusations of persecution being perpetuated by Christians who are on a mission to institute a theocracy, you'd think there was a serious epidemic of Christian tyranny afoot.  But let's be honest, is Christianity really the problem? (FreeBeacon) -- A prominent Saudi … [Read more...]

All’s fair in love and politics?

With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid making unsubstantiated claims that Republican nominee Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in ten years, it leaves a bad taste in people's mouths on politics.  Of course he has so far refused to name his source or at the very least explain how this person would have … [Read more...]

The Consequence Of Being A Christian

If you support traditional marriage, how often have you heard, "how will allowing same-sex marriage affect you?"  And if you support same-sex marriage, how often have you said this?  The thing is that the act of men marrying men or women marrying women doesn't have much of an effect.  It's the … [Read more...]

This is why I detest same-sex marriage activists

Below is a video taken via cell phone.  This man waits in line for some time for his free water just to harass whomever it is that has the unfortunate pleasure of being at the drive-thru window of Chick-Fil-A.  You can see the woman is exceedingly pleasant (I have never been greeted so warmly) … [Read more...]

Bigotry and Chick-Fil-A

It never ceases to amaze me the frequency with which those who claim to be victims of religious oppression react by calling the kettle black.  The latest example is the Chick-Fil-A non-shocker.  The president of restaurant was asked his stance on the marriage issue.  Of course the media and … [Read more...]

Does Jesus Love LGBT People?

I am always on the lookout for new topics to write about.  And some of the most fertile places are venues which espouse views different from my own.  One of the best places for conservative Christians to scout for new ideas is the Huffington Post religion section.  The Huffington Post is always in … [Read more...]

Only 3 In 10 Rich Men Think Wealth Inequality Is A Problem?

In the never-ending lamentation over wealth inequality or income gap, more and more studies revealing what political liberals already believe are being conducted.  What gets me is why people spend any time on this at all -- I mean, I know why some people spend their time it.  But if those most … [Read more...]

On percentages and taxes

Now that the über-wealthy former chief of Bain Capital, Mitt Romney has decided run for president, the tax rates of Americans are now a news-worthy phenomena.  Who pays what, and whether it's "fair" is quickly becoming a political talking point.  What bothers me is politicians and advocates for … [Read more...]

Embracing Homosexuality: America’s Litmus Test

Chick-Fil-A has announced its support for traditional marriage and it should come as no surprise that they have caught some flack for it.  What is surprising though is where it's coming from.  The Mayor of Boston has announced that he will use his power to prevent the fast food chain from opening in … [Read more...]

Selective Outcry

Oscar Rivera has done a wonderful job capturing my thoughts exactly. This was my comment to his post: This topic infuriates me. Chicagoland's victims have become dust under the rug. Granted, the majority of the victims were gang members who perhaps had been the triggerman for a previous … [Read more...]

Eagle Scout Renounces Award Over BSA Policy

News that the Boy Scouts of America upheld their policy prohibiting homosexuals to serve as scout masters has prompted protest from supporters of what some deem a matter of gay rights.  This protest should be expected given the attention same-sex marriage brings to the fore.  But one Eagle Scout has … [Read more...]

Week in Review

President Obama: You aren't successful because you had ingenuity and worked hard, government helped you. (The White House) -- There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back.  They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, … [Read more...]

Reframing The Debate: Pro And Anti-Development Prevention

Those on the pro-choice side of the abortion debate are always looking for new ways to frame the debate.  I can understand why, it's difficult to gain support when there's truth in advertizing: abortion takes the life of an innocent human being.  This biological fact must be avoided if you are to … [Read more...]

What do you have to say?

Simply put I'd like to hear from people who read my blog. I want to know what you the reader like about my writing, and what you don't like. What you'd like to see more of and less of. What brought you here in the first place and what keeps you here. … [Read more...]

Republicans and Democrats on jobs

Republicans and Democrats are always at odds when it comes to economic policies.  Each opines on the benefits of their own and the perils of the other.  A great thing happened in 2010 for politics.  It was a year where new parties became occupants of the top State office all on promises to bring … [Read more...]
