Halloween (not Holloween) season is upon us. You can smell it in the air and see it in the trees. There’s also the prime indicator of the season of ghosts, ghouls, and goblins by the fright-fest-films that TCM is showing this month. But there’s another indicator that the All Hallows’

Dr. Barbara Bellar is running for the District 18 state senate seat in Illinois. Dr. Bellar is “not your typical person. Starting out as a nun, she went on to become a Major in the Army, a doctor, a lawyer, and a small business entrepreneur. Her life is encompassed by

We know that Obama supporters are as ignorant about economic issues as the president. They don’t care about economics as long as their college education is being paid for by other people. In 2008, there was a large turnout of youth voters, most of whom were college students. To get

I received the following email from a couple who just returned from a trip to the Middle East: “My husband and I just came back from the Middle East. As we arrived in Cairo, going down the mechanical stairs to go to the baggage claim area, there’s this big poster

I’ve written on the futility of third parties at this point in history, the illogic of the lesser of two evils mantra, and how conservatives give up too soon. As a result I’ve received some vicious attacks. That’s OK. I’m used to it. Others have appreciated my comments. Agree or

The government makes it very easy to bring on prosperity. Print more money. If that’s always the solution, then why not do it sooner, bigger, and faster? The Federal Reserve has decided to pump more funny money into the economy. On cue, the stock market rallied: “The Federal Reserve fulfilled

This story has not gotten much attention. Surprise. But delegates at the Democrat National Convention were wearing buttons that said the following: Once You Vote Black You Never Go Back Obama 2012 What if delegates the RNC had a badge that said something like this?: Once You Vote White No

For three years of his presidency, President Obama has travelled the globe promoting the idea that Islam is a religion of peace. How many Americans believed that there would be a new foreign policy because our Muslim-friendly president was reaching out to the Islamic world? And like so much of

Mitt Romney was never my first choice for President. I would have liked to have seen any number of other candidates be in the top spot. But that didn’t happen. I know there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters, of which I am one (for the most part as

Out of the mouths of babes. Maybe Liberals and so-called Independents can understand why voting for Barack Obama a second time is a bad idea if they hear it from a six-year-old. Liberals need to be treated like children. They speak in cliches. They repeat what others say. They can’t

The following was sent to me by a friend. Hope you enjoy it. I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary

When gasoline prices go up, oil companies get blamed. Obscene profits! Greedy exploiters of the public trust! Now that gas prices may drop below $3.00 per gallon, the oil critics are silent. If oil and gas prices are rigged, then why are prices falling? Oil is down to $80 a

Horror, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy fiction author Stephen King wants to be taxed more. He even wrote an article with the title “Tax Me, for F@%&’s Sake!” He’s not satisfied being taxed at 28 percent. He believes a 50 percent rate is about right. No one’s stopping him from

By Rod Martin Pastor Doug Wilson, a not-insignificant leader in the Reformed community, counsels his followers to sit out Election 2012, because Mitt Romney doesn’t live up to his standards. Well, I can’t think of many of my standards Mitt meets either. But Doug is wrong, and dangerously so. The

“The human brain’s power could rival any machine,” Tamara Cohen writes. She’s got it backwards since the brain existed before any machine. The machine – in this case a super computer – is being designed and constructed by humans who have brains and a mind to go with it. There

Oil is a national security issue. Without oil, America does not move. There’s a scene in the film Battle of the Bulge showing Nazi efforts to commandeer a huge fuel depot. In order to advance their ground troops, the Nazis had to secure Allied fuel supplies for their tanks, trucks,

Republicans are nervous that the presidential primaries are still going on. They forget that Obama did not win enough delegates to nail down the nomination until June 3, 2008, after a 17-month-long campaign against Hillary Clinton. Not having a single candidate keeps the Democrats off guard. They don’t know who
