I had a discussion this past week with a fairly "progressive" client on a wide variety of topics. Mostly cordial, of course. He was the client. One of his positions was that access to healthcard should be a right, not a privilege. I took the position that while I agree that individuals should be given … Continue reading Die Quickly

Open Letter to Obama
Dear Obama, this is what we think of your fiscal policies so far since you've taken office. Perhaps you should pay attention. What you're doing now, we don't like.
Cripple America
My opinion: Obama and his team are in waaaaay over their collective heads. They believe the world is basically good, and because Obama is in control of the White House, the world will warm to them and we will all live together in harmony. Except that's not the world. Putin will outmaneuver the clueless Obama. … Continue reading Cripple America
Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeAnd the stock market burned. The Dow was down almost 300 more points today, probably on it's way to zero. And Obama dances the congo. I suspect they served appletinis. A week before that, the foot-stomping sounds of Sweet Honey in the Rock, a female a cappella group, filled the … Continue reading Nero Fiddled. Obama Does the Congo.
Tea Party
And so the veil of deceit lifts. The news media, so eager to proclaim Obama as the messiah during the election cycle, now turns on him and begins to devour him. What changed? In one sense, nothing. Obama's promises of socialist changes are progressing. Universal health care, nationalization of manufacturers and banking, imposition of union … Continue reading Tea Party
One Politician With Conviction
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeRepublican Judd Gregg abruptly withdraws his nomination over two irreconcilable differences with Obama. Over meaningful issues, I may add. “However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there … Continue reading One Politician With Conviction
What Did We Learn?
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 … Continue reading What Did We Learn?
Targeting Religious Voters
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 … Continue reading Targeting Religious Voters
Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible
Go get'em, James Dobson. Obama had some very liberal interpretations of what the bible says, and simultaneously tried to minimize Christian influence in politics *and* say that all religious discussions are welcome. James is firing back against what he called a "fruitcake interpetation of the bible." I love that phrase. News sources come from here … Continue reading Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible
Christian Carnival CLXXXVI
Christian Carnival #186 is up... here! Chasing the Wind is humbled to host the Carnival this week. Without further ado, here are this week's best Christian blogging. Oh wait, here's a little more ado. I've divided this week's post in sections with a brief description about how this relates to Christian living. Ok, *now* we're … Continue reading Christian Carnival CLXXXVI
Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
My country doesn't understand me. Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, this bill should make you suspicious. It was negotiated behind closed doors for 3 months by George Bush and Ted Kennedy. Regardless of your political viewpoint, I know you don't agree with both of those guys. Nobody can. The Senate is poised to … Continue reading Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
Barrack Hussein Obama describes himself as a Christian and the New York Times is almost besides itself with glee. Notice the picture and how holy Obama appears. I like Christians, I really do. I happen to be one. But those people that routinely exhibit their Christian faith are routinely trashed by the New York Times. … Continue reading Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
Links of the Day
Over lunch today, I found a bunch of topics that interested me, but if I wrote about everything that interested me, I'd be posting all day. *That* ain't gonna happen. So here are the topics I'm not writing about, even if it looks like I'm writing about them now. I'm not. But they're interesting reads: … Continue reading Links of the Day
