A letter writer to USA TODAY takes exception to the use of religion in evaluating politicians. He argued that our founders got it right by “separating church and state.” Anyone familiar with our nation’s founding and its documents would know that “separating church and state” was not an issue. Church

I’m encouraged that only about 15 percent of people surveyed in a recent poll believe the end of the world is around the corner. For hundreds of years people have been assured by prophecy writers that the end of the world was on the horizon. Every time there’s an earthquake,

“As the twig is bent so grows the tree” is an adage with a lot of truth attached to it. The earlier a person begins to study a subject, the easier it is to learn. This is true with everything from learning a language and Morse Code to political philosophy

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

Update: In the early afternoon of April 30th,  I began to write the article below and posted it early in the morning of May 1st. The Wikipedia article where I got some of the information included “Forward (Obama-Biden Campaign Slogan)” and the use of “Forward” by numerous socialist and communist

For years I’ve run into people who appeal to the Constitution for justification of the welfare state. The theme of high taxes on the productive that should be redistributed to the “less fortunate” is based on a misreading of the “general welfare” clause found in Article I, section 8 of

Anti-bulling ads and proclamations are everywhere. Harvey Weinstein, one of Hollywood’s biggest bullies, even made a movie about it titled Bully. Now we have Dan Savage, the biggest homosexual bully there is, bullying a group of young people at a journalism conference to accept homosexuality as normal and moral or

The following list was sent to the Godfather. He enjoyed it and thought you would too. Why not add your reasons in the comment section. For you anti-Republicans, why not come up with a list. I’ll start it off: 1. I voted for Republicans because they’re not much different from

“Bin Laden is Dead and General Motors is Alive.” It’s catchy, and it’s a great campaign slogan. “If you’re looking for a bumper sticker to sum up how President Obama has handled what we inherited, it’s pretty simple: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” Vice President

Do you think liberals hear the things they say, and if they hear them do you think they understand how goofy they sound? When rich liberals criticize the rich in general, you have to wonder what they’re thinking. Maybe they believe that it’s OK for liberals to have boat loads

“I think that you could define [Jesus] as a Utopian communist, where people would work together to solve our problems,” Modine told The Christian Post. I’m all for working together to solve our problems. But that’s not Communism. Communism is forcing people to work for the goals of the State,

Mitt Romney is the presumptive GOP candidate who will face President Obama in November. I’m not happy about it, but it is what it is. I have to deal with it. Ron Paul supporters are hoping against hope that somehow he’s going to get the nomination. The best they can

Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in a bombing and a shooting rampage in Oslo, Norway, on July 22, 2011. His trial began April 16 of this year. Breivik is insisting that he was sane then and he is sane now and that he would do it again if he

In 2006, then climate change enthusiast James Lovelock believed that “before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.” The 92-year-old scientist is now in the recanting phase of his

The bureaucrats are at it again. Not only are they requiring that spas and swimming pools install permanent lifts for the disabled but a new set of opinions is coming out of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to protect prospective employees who have “gender identity” issues. If enacted, the
