A few weeks ago I was traveling up Interstate Fifty-five in Missouri and pulled into a small travel center for a cup of coffee. It was a lazy, muggy day and it seemed as if the world was moving at about three quarters speed. Saturday, July 29, 2006 10:05:12 PM
We live in an angry world. Israel is angry with Hezbollah for attacking into Israeli territory. Hezbollah is angry with Israel for having the nerve to do something about it. America is angry with Al Qaida for killing 3000 people on American soil. Al Qaida is angry because American women don’t wear burqas. Friday, July 21, 2006 10:51:59 AM
Recent events in Israel and Lebanon should be the final nail in the coffin for Middle Eastern diplomacy. Is there anyone left in the world besides Kofi Annan who believes in the possibility of peace through treaties and diplomacy where Radical Islam is involved? Wednesday, June 28, 2006 08:36:40 AM
Suppose you’re a military superpower. Also suppose that your relationship with another superpower is less than cordial, but vital to your economic survival. Now, suppose that a tiny, starving nation with which you share a border is considering the test-launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking that aforementioned other superpower.

Regardless of which side of the ideological fence one happens to occupy, no one can honestly deny that we live in a troubled society. There is no better example than what happened to a mentally retarded girl in Colorado Springs, CO. Thursday, June 15, 2006 10:42:32 AM
Based on the facts as I see them, the American people are about to get arguably the rudest awakening in the last one hundred years. The middle class will vanish, our social programs will fall into insolvency, and a select few people will make a hell of a lot of money at the expense of the rest of us.

As a Christian, I am disturbed by the growing trend of believers who are “going over the wall.” Why are so many believers embracing extremism and intolerance? Monday, May 29, 2006 11:54:32 AM
That Representative William Jefferson (D-La) has engaged in felonious behavior is true beyond a doubt. But that behavior did not end with Mr. Jefferson. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi seem more concerned with stretching and contorting the Constitution than enforcing the law. Tuesday, May 23, 2006 02:45:50 PM
When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast last year, I was in Maryland. I sat in front of the television and became physically ill while watching the gigantic storm rage inland like a great beast from the ancient past. Katrina’s effects were felt all the way to the Great Lakes, and nearly two thousand people died during the storm and its aftermath. Tuesday, May 16, 2006 03:03:24 PM
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have read a Dan Brown novel. Worse, I enjoyed it. I feel soiled, and I fear I may do it again. Am I doomed to dwell in Purgatory? Tuesday, May 09, 2006 05:35:51 AM
Over the past couple of months, a petition demanding a congressional censure of former President Jimmy Carter has been gaining momentum via the Internet. Please indulge me for a moment while I explain what a horrifically bad idea this is. Friday, April 28, 2006 07:05:44 AM
It’s so much fun being a writer these days. Everywhere I look I see potential subject material. Perhaps the hardest part is just making up my mind what to write about. Friday, April 21, 2006 08:45:03 AM
Imagine for a moment that you have a family member who has died in the War on Terror. Now imagine a gaggle of protestors showing up at the funeral and chanting “God Hates Fags” and “God Hates Cripple Soldiers.” This is the specialty of the good folks from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS. - a group of people convinced that every single misfortune befalling an American is due to our nation’s tolerance of homosexuals.

There are numerous facets to the illegal immigration debate – amnesty, security, jobs & wages, and human rights, to name a few. The problem is that the primary issue has been lost in the shuffle. It’s been neglected for so long that it now appears to be at best only a secondary consideration, and this speaks volumes about the state of our nation. Tuesday, April 11, 2006 01:24:20 PM
We’re being overrun by illegal immigrants and our spineless non-leaders seem not to care one whit. China, North Korea and Iran are in a rat race to see who can either break us or blow us off the face of the Earth. The homosexual community has thoroughly invaded our schools and is promoting the virtues of sexual perversion. Iraq is a mess of Biblical proportion. The ACLU and other godless groups seek to eradicate any form of religious expression from the public forum. The Republican Party has become the Democrat Party, and the Democrats have become the New Socialist Windbag Party. Tuesday, April 04, 2006 11:11:23 AM
Have you ever noticed how the Left sees the pursuit of its agenda as being a protected constitutional right, while at the same time proclaiming that conservatives are hate-mongers and homophobes for doing the same thing? How does that work? Wednesday, March 29, 2006 12:17:13 PM
Ah… if only I had been Dictator of California a few days ago. Just imagine. Half a million illegal immigrants in one place. Had things been left to me, there’d have been INS, police and National Guard blocking every street and store front once the so-called protestors assembled. Tuesday, March 21, 2006 11:18:19 AM
Does this sound like someone you know? “So there I was – my checking account overdrawn, my credit cards maxed out, and all my monthly bills were coming due. I didn’t have any money to pay them because I’d already blown it elsewhere. No problem! Friday, March 10, 2006 12:23:37 PM
In recent years we have seen a literal epidemic of illicit sexual activity between minor students and their school teachers. The evidence tends to make me believe that in terms of sheer numbers, this may be an even bigger problem than child molestation by clergy. Why are student-teacher affairs on the rise, and what can we do to curtail the problem? Tuesday, March 07, 2006 02:00:55 PM
Author’s Note: I hadn’t planned to write a “sequel” to my piece from a few days ago. However, the utterly poisonous responses from liberals all over the country make me think that another one might be appropriate. Saturday, March 04, 2006 12:21:49 PM
Over the last several weeks I have watched in awe as a dominant force in American and world politics has attempted to destroy itself. The Democrat Party, once a juggernaut of seemingly endless power, wealth and influence has become a laughing stock. Liberals around the world must be scratching their heads and wondering what could have happened to the Party of the Almighty Jackass. What has happened is that through their own actions they have exposed themselves better than any conservative commentator could have hoped to do. Sunday, February 26, 2006 11:22:48 AM
Has anyone noticed that most of the nations from which we get our oil are markedly anti-American? Thursday, February 16, 2006 07:39:36 PM
After the recent media furor over Dick Cheney’s hunting accident, I have given much thought on just how we might avoid such needless incidents of injury and death in the future. It would appear that in this case, we should follow the liberals’ logic (now there’s and oxymoron) to solve the problem. Tuesday, February 07, 2006 09:26:36 PM
Americans have a habit of not taking matters as seriously as we should unless we’re actually confronted up close and personally. Even terrorism took a back seat for many Americans until Nine-Eleven. Saturday, February 04, 2006 12:21:10 PM
Breaking News: Representatives from the ACLU have announced that the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals has upheld Pandora Leftwitch’s right to kill her 2 month-old baby girl. In a unanimous decision, the court stated that she could have legally obtained a partial birth abortion a few months earlier anyway, and as such there seemed to be “…little difference between then and now.” Thursday, January 26, 2006 07:06:50 PM
Much has been written over the last few years about our problems with Mexico. Illegal drugs, illegal immigrants, tax fraud, job loss and the unpaid medical bills of illegals have placed a huge burden on American taxpayers. Wednesday, January 25, 2006 11:30:01 AM
A Response to Cliff Kincaid’s “Potheads and Mental Illness” Cliff Kincaid’s fine article regarding the links between marijuana use and mental disorders (Potheads and Mental Illness) makes a number of valid points. If I may, I’d like to take it a step or two further by drawing on my own experiences. Yes friends, I’m a former pot smoker. Saturday, January 21, 2006 01:12:43 PM
As I sat in front of the television last week watching the NFL Divisional Playoffs, I was struck with the notion that the Republican Party and the Pittsburgh Steelers might be using the same playbook. Never mind that former Steeler Lynn Swann has aspirations of being the GOP governor of Pennsylvania. Friday, January 13, 2006 09:04:26 AM
I’m getting a little tired of the mindless anti-Americanism that seems to exist all around the globe. The Europeans blame us for global warming and inciting Islamic terrorists. Liberals in Canada blame us for gun violence, global warming and inciting Islamic terrorists. And, liberals right here at home blame us for global warming and… did you guess, “inciting Islamic terrorists?” Wait a minute! Do you see a pattern here? Sunday, January 08, 2006 06:40:10 PM
We’ve all watched and read the news of the awful tragedy at the Sago coal mine in West Virginia. Twelve of thirteen miners trapped for 42 hours after an explosion died, and the sole survivor was left in a coma. Everyone knows that working in a mine has more than its share of dangers, but just how dangerous is it? |
