I live just a few miles from the most pro-gun city in the United States – Kennesaw Georgia – where gun ownership is mandatory. It’s not the “Wild West” like some people predicted when it passed a mandatory gun ownership law. “The city of Kennesaw was selected by Family Circle

An untapped resource to turn America around is found in the tens of thousands of churches in America. Many Christians don’t vote and their pastors encourage them to avoid politics. Then there are other churches where pastors are fearful of government reprisals, mostly from the IRS at the prompting of

Blacks who support Republicans and conservative causes are “Oreos,” black on the outside and white on the inside, “Uncle Toms,” and porch monkeys while throwing Oreo cookies at them. When Blacks stray off the liberal plantation, Democrats will be ready to chase them down. Do you remember how Harry Belafonte,

When the government passed the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, in 1990, most people thought the new laws would protect people with physical disabilities from employment discrimination. The good intentions of some have gone bad on the many: Disability is defined by the ADA as “a physical or mental

On “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace, Ron Paul defended comments he made about AIDS patients in his 1987 book Freedom Under Siege. He shouldn’t have had to. The logic is irrefutable. Raul wrote that people with sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS bear some responsibility for their condition and should

Many have been critical of Mitt Romney for his religious views. Little has been said about those of Rick Santorum. It’s rather surprising that evangelicals, most of whom are Protestants, are turning to Santorum as their “Republican flavor of the week.” How much do they know about his views? Yes,

A story in USA Today reports that inmates, some of them serving life sentences, have applied to the IRS to be tax preparers. Most of them did not reveal that they were incarcerated. It’s good to know that prisoners are trying to be productive members of society. It’s kind of

While channel surfing, I came across The House I Live In (1945), a ten-minute short film starring Frank Sinatra. Made to oppose anti-Semitism and racial prejudice at the end of World War II, it received an Honorary Academy Award and a special Golden Globe award in 1946. It reminded me

Abraham Lincoln is a political icon to those on the Left and Right. Conservatives like Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck consider him to be our nation’s greatest president, as do many others. Some have compared Barack Obama to Lincoln. Check out the CBS article “The Obama-Lincoln Parallel: A Closer Look”

On Tuesday’s Bill Press radio show, former MSNBC anchor David Shuster mocked Tim Tebow, quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and Christians in genera: “I think what happens is when a politician or a figure like Tim Tebow — and I know that Bill Press has mentioned it on the show

Just before a long Christmas weekend the “Obama Justice Department issued a legal opinion that permits states to set up nonsports Internet gambling.” The opinion upends decades of opposition and “contrary decisions, but its real effect will be on the poor (and young) who suffer the most from gambling.” People

I’ll go out on a limb and say “no,” the apocalypse will not happen in 2012. There are several reasons I’m almost certain. First, the Greek word apokalupsis means “to unveil, uncover, lay open what has covered up.” The first verse in the book of Revelation reads: “The Revelation of

It’s not enough that children are brainwashed in government schools. Now parents have to keep a watchful eye on private organizations that once had a reputation for upholding American Values. Unlike the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts of the USA accepts homosexuals and allows its members to substitute another word in

There were two family-death tragedies that hit news services on Christmas. The first one was the house fire in Connecticut where five people died: a grandmother, grandfather, three young girls — a 10-year-old and 7-year-old twins. The girls’ mother, Madonna Badger, and a friend escaped the fire. The house was

Democrats are snakes. Their latest complaint, USA Today reports, is the greeting people get when they call a state agency in South Carolina: “It’s a great day in South Carolina! How may I help you?” Democrats are upset because, to them, it is not a great day in South Carolina

“We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you.” When you hear these words, run for the hills and take your possessions with you. When the government steps into to fix a problem where there is no problem, you can bet that the new law will be used by

I like Ron Paul. I’ve followed his career since the 1980s. I mostly like him on economic matters. To me, some of his views on foreign policy are naïve. While our current drug laws are a disaster, I doubt that he’s going to get any traction with a proposal to

A lot of attention has been put on the Obamas and their $4 million 17-day Hawaiian vacation. That’s right! The President and his family are spending $4 million for a vacation when millions of Americans are out of work. Here’s how the Hawaii Reporter tells the story: Obama’s trip to
