Barney Frank is one of the most liberal and destructive members of Congress. America couldn’t get a better Christmas gift this year than to learn that he is not seeking re-election in 2012. It was his banking regulations that contributed to the economic mess that we are in today: The

The Christian Post reports that “The U.S. Army has removed a cross that was prominently placed on the front of a chapel located at the remote base of Camp Marmal in Northern Afghanistan. . . . [O]fficials said that having a permanent sectarian image on the chapel violated army regulations.

Today is “Black Friday,” as to be “in the black rather than in the red.” Retailers look forward to this day even if employees don’t. People have been camping out to get those special deals. My wife prefers to shop early and online. With Congress wrangling over amnesty for illegal

Few films are truly inspirational. I was channel surfing and came across a made-for-TV film that I had seen a few years ago. It was inspiring then, and it was inspiring again as my wife and I sat down this morning to watch it probably for the fifth time. We

The first computer my company purchased in mid-1985 cost $7500. It was huge and could only perform a few simple tasks, mostly word processing, and even that wasn’t very good. The floppy disks were the size of dinner plates and held very little data (360K). If a disk was left

Massachusetts senator John Kerry admitted yesterday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will result in a “major tax increase.” Kerry is a member of the do nothing, so-called Super Committee. “You’re guaranteed, unless it’s changed, a major tax increase on January 1st, 2013, when the

The idea of a Super Committee is idiotic. It’s a way to blame shift, to pass the buck so only a few have to take responsibility for an unpopular vote. A good constitutionalist could make a case that the entire process is unconstitutional. Each one of our Congressmen are to

Anytime you write about Jews and African Americans, you run the risk of being labeled anti-Semitic and racist. There’s no way getting around what will be inevitable criticism. But since Michael Medved, an observant Jew and a conservative, broached the subject in the November 21, 2011 issue of USA Today,

You’ve heard the story. General Electric (GE) didn’t pay any taxes in 2010. In order to get out of paying taxes legally, it filed a 57,000-page tax return. This shows how absolutely outrageous our tax code is and why so many are for scrapping the whole thing and going to

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) said Republicans had blocked the so-called Super Committee’s work by demanding an extension of Bush-era tax cuts and refusing to consider significant tax increases on wealthier people. “To have something on the table that does not ask the wealthiest people in the country to share

Businesses don’t want to offend their customers. I get that. But when a business owner decides not to offend some customers, he may end up offending more customers. A business owner should be able to do anything he wants with his business. It’s his business. I’m not for suing a

Two Colorado Women’s shelters lost government funding for their successful substance abuse programs because part of the process of turning the lives around of these women was reading the Bible. In addition to dealing with substance abuse problems, the shelters “provide transitional housing for the homeless and those struggling with

The exclusion of one God opens the door for the inclusion of another God. There is no such thing as religious neutrality. In the end, there will be a sovereign. That sovereign could show itself in the One State or the many individuals. The philosophy of Georg F. W. Hegel

The roads in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are always in need of repair. In fact, anyone living in a city that gets large amounts of snow fall and encounters daily thaws and nightly freezes knows what I’m talking about. The snow falls and afternoon temperatures climb just enough to melt the snow.

We hear about the economic divide between the rich and the poor. We mostly hear it from those who hold seats of power. They believe they can make the world a better place by taking money from some people and giving it to other people.  Sounds reasonable, expect for two

Bridges to nowhere are common. Where I live, there are a lot of sidewalks to nowhere. I suspect they are part of Obama’s failed “shovel ready” projects. Put people to work pouring concrete where nobody ever walks. Genius. Bridges and sidewalks to nowhere are like nearly everything politicians do: spend

You might be asking, when have whites and Christmas been taxed? Tanning booths and freshly cut Christmas trees. Buried deep in ObamaCare is a 10 percent tax on tanning salons that went into effect July 1, 2010 to help fund the $940 billion health care overhaul bill. The targeted tax

With Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman running for the Republican nomination for president, their religion keeps coming up. They’re Mormons. A similar thing happened in the 1960 election with John F. Kennedy’s Roman Catholicism. There is a long history of anti-Catholic sentiment in America, and people in the 1950s were
