Good Riddance, Sen. Specter

By ⋅ April 28, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

In a completely political move, Sen. Specter (PA) switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat so that he could run without opposition in 2010.  You see, this past election he narrowly defeated Pat Toomey in the Republican primary, and who he would most certainly lose to in 2010.  See, for Sen. Specter, it’s not [...]

Yeah, He’s Bipartisan

By ⋅ April 27, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Every Presidential candidate promises bipartisanship.  Why?  Because every Presidential candidate knows that the people that he needs to get to vote for him do not want business as usual. And every President, when he gets in office, realizes that bipartisanship doesn’t work—that in order to get his big ideas through, he’ll have to work with [...]

Answering Your Pregnancy Questions

By ⋅ April 26, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

I don’t know who to believe—my own eyes or the media. According to what I read the other day online, the recession and what is going on in the world is causing more men and women to seek ways to prevent pregnancy.  I’ve even heard more ads on the radio for different kinds of treatments—some [...]

Did Opposition to Gay Marriage Cost Her the Win?

By ⋅ April 24, 2009 ⋅ 15 comments

In 1993 I ran for student government governor.  It was my first foray into politics, and I was pretty well known.  I had been in a couple of the student plays, I had spoken in my small school’s forum, and let’s just say I didn’t dress like everyone else. However, when election day came, I [...]

The Charm Offensive

By ⋅ April 23, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

You can’t blame the guy for doing what he said he would do.  During the campaign, then Sen. Barak Obama stated that he would have high level talks with foreign leaders—even those that we are diametrically opposed with. And he’s doing just that. In an attempt to win favor in the world community, President Obama [...]

Strategic Release of Documents

By ⋅ April 21, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Presidents of the United States have an unwritten code—they usually refrain from talking about their successor, whatever it is they are doing or decide to do.  However, that hasn’t stopped former Vice President Dick Cheney from commenting on what’s going on in the Obama Administration.  I find this all quite fascinating because we didn’t hear [...]

I Am Here, Just Not As You Expect…

By ⋅ April 20, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Life.  It has a way of constantly changing the rules on a person.  Once you think that you’ve figured out a routine, or that you’re going to do things a specific way, things don’t go that way. I believe that God gets a chuckle out of our planning and strategy.

Who Were the Founders?

By ⋅ April 13, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I made a statement in my post about how America has been like Paris Hilton about the beginning of our nation—what the atmosphere was like at the founding and what the people there believed and what they chose to use as a basis for their law and principles. Since this happens frequently, I believe that [...]

Are We Living In The End Times?

By ⋅ April 9, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Image via Wikipedia At the new church I’m visiting we’ve started going through Romans, and when you start Romans you start at Romans 1.  It is preacher’s belief that we are in for a rough ride ahead of us because of the pattern you see in Romans 1 and the state of the current culture [...]
