Will the Circle be Unbroken, Part II

July 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Last week I wrote about the plight of Nashville’s Joy Ford, the country’s latest victim of Eminent Domain abuse by government. Nashville’s Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) has begun legal proceedings under Eminent Domain to condemn and seize Joy’s business. It has prospered at the head of Music Row for almost 30 […]

The Fairness Doctrine

June 27th, 2008 · No Comments

It sounds like something we should support. After all, who could be against “Fairness?”
But the surface appeal of The Fairness Doctrine has all of the rigor of a soap bubble and collapses under the slightest scrutiny.
Two powerful criticisms illustrate why The Fairness Doctrine is a bad idea.

It has a chilling effect on free speech. First […]

Abomination in America-No Pun Intended

June 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This is a post of a traditional, Calvinistic Christian’s view of the presidential candidate Barack Obama. It is the most religious of my postings. Here is an excerpt:
We are seeing the direct result of idolatry in America- an outright idolater is running for president, and may likely win the office. However, America has had so […]

Obama and the Social Security Privatization Lie

June 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Few things illustrate Democrat’s penchant for preying on people’s fears better than Social Security. Proposing changes to Social Security produces hysteria from any Democrat near a microphone. Barack Obama is no different as evidenced by his comments earlier this week.
Speaking to a crowd of retirees in Ohio,
Obama … criticized McCain for being open […]

Who do Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington really serve?

June 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

With yesterday’s news of the filings to the Federal Election Commission against Congressman Blackburn by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, leads one to ponder what exactly do we know about this group, CREW?
Do they simply have the public’s well-being in mind?
OR
Are they just another thinly veiled liberal litigating “PAID” lackey?
Take a look […]

Political foolishness - It’s a nomination, not a coronation

June 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Hillary has won several state primaries. Barack has won several state primaries. When they win, they make victory speeches. When they lose, they make concession speeches.
Barack will not “win” the nomination until a majority of the delegates vote for him at the Democratic convention. THEN, he can claim victory. THEN, she should concede, endorse him, […]

Texas group sues to stop border fence

May 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hmm, it is funny how people think a fence is antiquated or won’t work. It seems that I remember the Great Communicator Ronald Reagan saying, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” If a wall doesn’t work, then why bother asking to tear it down? It wasn’t just to remove a symbol of communism, because symbols […]

Smack Down Time

May 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Tom Cole at the NRCC Blog is getting b*tch slapped to the point that he must be feeling like a Gumby about now. Michelle Malkin posted about Mr. Cole’s posting about “Republican Solutions and a Positive Agenda”. He thinks we need to “update our laws”!
WOT? I think Mr. Cole and the rest […]

Bush Signs Bill To Take All Newborns’ DNA

May 8th, 2008 · No Comments

It was with quite a bit of alarm that I read this article at inforwars.net today. I was not alarmed because of what was being done in the name of security, I was alarmed by the deafening silence of it. The government is now legally able, within six months, to get a DNA sample from […]

Isn’t Our Life Enough

April 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I have been both amazed and distraught at the lack of leadership in addressing the immigration problem by the federal government. I read a statement in the February 24th Chattanooga Times Free Press titled . . .  continue
