Presidential Actions, Week 1

Posted on January 26, 2009. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

I’m going to keep saying this so that I remember; “Obama is my President.” It’s important to remember we are called to be good citizens. But that doesn’t mean we check our beliefs and feelings at the door and blindly follow our new Dear Leader. In one week – He reestablished federal funding for overseas [...]

Congress Gives Themselves a Raise

Posted on December 19, 2008. Filed under: Finances, News | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Because they gave away billions… no wait, over a trillion dollars of taxpayer’s money… … because in order to approve %750 billion of it, they had to add $150 billion in pork… … because they pressured banks to lend money to people to buy houses they couldn’t afford… … because the same people like Barney [...]

What Did We Learn?

Posted on November 5, 2008. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Obama beat McCain handily, 349 to 163 electoral votes. What we should have learned, I don’t know that we did. What we should have learned is that we have principles and ideals and we should stick to them. Ronald Reagan knew it, and we gave him victories. The 1994 Republican House knew that, and we [...]

The Loss of Conservatism

Posted on November 4, 2008. Filed under: News, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Image by Getty Images via Daylife If the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete – Legislative, Executive, and Media. The blame for such a loss can be spread to many people. Let’s start at the top. I like President Bush, and I threw my entire [...]

The Scariest Part of Tuesday's Election

Posted on November 1, 2008. Filed under: News, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

It can be summed up in this little quote: Democrats are looking ahead to expanded power. New New Deal. Unfettered ability to impose government oversight, appoint activist judges, raise taxes, and spend whatever they want on whatever they want. I am so not looking forward to the next 4 years.

Rob from the Rich, Stiff the Poor, Too

Posted on October 16, 2008. Filed under: Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

I stared writing about “Joe the Plumber” yesterday based on a story at the New York Post. Little did I know how huge the story was about to become. John McCain launched Joe the Plumber into the national spotlight during last night’s debate. My post was going to be about how Obama’s strategy results in [...]

Bailouts and Earmarks

Posted on October 1, 2008. Filed under: Finances, News, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

As we all know by now, Congress failed to pass the Bailout Bill on Monday for $700 billion (a number, apparently, the US Treasury just made up). If they pass it, they saddle taxpayers with the debt and socialize the banking system. If they don’t pass it, they tell us civilization will end as we [...]

US Government Restricts Free Speech and Expression of Religion

Posted on September 30, 2008. Filed under: Faith, News | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

The “separation of church and state,” such as it is, should keep the government from imposing a religion upon the people of this country. But regulations that squelch the speech of pastors? Can the US Government tell pastors what they can and cannot talk about? There is no law that I’m aware of that restricts [...]

Targeting Religious Voters

Posted on August 14, 2008. Filed under: Faith, Politics | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

I must be a target, then. U.S. presidential rivals Barack Obama and John McCain target religious voters on Saturday when as guests of one of America’s foremost evangelists they discuss faith in public life, AIDS, the environment and other issues. Neither of the candidates appeal to me from a spiritual conviction. McCain can be downright [...]

PBS and the Separation of Church and State

Posted on July 22, 2008. Filed under: General | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

When the US Government funds anything remotely Christian in nature, all sorts of “separation of church and state” groups get upset. The ACLU files a lawsuit and the “offensive” Christian material is removed. So why is it ok for US tax dollars to be used to oppose Christianity? Shouldn’t the same standard be used? PBS, [...]
