The poor [white] children
December 20, 2012 by 21 Comments
The inevitability of the politicization of the Newton massacre was as sure as the sun rising this morning.

Enjoy life now
December 13, 2012 by 22 Comments
Geez, I wish I could, but other people keep getting in the way. I'd like to do lots of things that others have collectively and arbitrarily decided they don't want me to be able to do.

Only 7% of Detroit public school students proficient in reading… Teachers too, aparently
December 11, 2012 by 2 Comments
It's a good thing the Michigan legislature has passed right-to-work measures for the state's workers. For decades labor unions have stood watch while the State's school system has been in a constant state of decline.

Ground Zero Mosque still just a mosque
December 10, 2012 by 27 Comments
I believe there is a tendency for a good many people to assume all religions are basically equal, in terms of message anyway. For example, that all religions teach the Golden Rule in one form or another, and that common thread is what defines each religion. The average person is not going to take … [Read more...]

December 5, 2012 by 89 Comments
The liberal message of tax the rich has been in high gear for the past three to four years, and ramped up significantly over the course of the presidential campaign season. The mantra that the wealthy don't pay enough, let alone their "fair share" is inescapable. Though I'm not one to buy into … [Read more...]
Feigned concern by the Pro-Choice movement
December 5, 2012 by 158 Comments
I can't even begin to count the number of times I have heard a pro-abortion choice advocate justify abortion by offering what almost sounds like a compassionate plea on behalf of the child.
