Is The United States a Christian Nation?
In a recent post explaining my acceptance of some libertarian ideas, I made the passing reference to the fact that America is, and has been a Christian Nation. However, this fact is not accepted by everyone, especially atheists. Their arguments are typified by the first comment I received on this post: While some of the [...]
Why I’ve Recently Come to Embrace Libertarian Ideas
I’ve always considered myself a Conservative. In fact, I’m registered as a Conservative and find myself voting for Conservative candidates. This identification has to do with bot social conservative values as well as fiscal. The problem that I have in watching where the country is going is that I’ve observed a trend that proves that [...]
Perry: Eliminate Funding to Planned Parenthood
In a recent speech to the residents of Bettendorf, Iowa, Governor Perry not only took on the amount of money that elected representatives make and their seemingly permanent positions in Washington, but he also announced that part of his plan was to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood so that our tax dollars will not [...]
Who Should Get the Republican Nomination
This past April I turned 35. I’ve always joked that when I become 35, then I’ll be able to run for President. After all, when you’re in your early 30s, there aren’t many “milestone” birthdays left. With that theme, my dining room was covered in Red, White and Blue and even my cake told me [...]
Are We In a Depression?
The word “depression” carries with it such huge baggage that people will do everything they can to avoid it. The problem is that it shouldn’t be feared, as it’s part of the normal cycle of finance—there has to be a contraction just as there is an expansion. Trying to deny reality here is pointless. The [...]
Sen. Schumer and I Agree
They say that one of the most dangerous places to be in Washington, DC, is between Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and a microphone. And what he’s said recently has found me actually agreeing this him—to a point: Menendez, Lautenberg and Kirsten Gillibrand support eliminating some or all of the Bush tax cuts. Schumer said the [...]
Will Reid Shut Down the Government?
Right now the two houses of government are in a big game of chicken. A budget is due at the end of the month, and since neither the Senate nor the President have put forth a budget bill, they are faced with considering a continuing resolution. So, the Republican lead House put forth one; however, [...]
I Don’t Care Who’s To Blame
Things are going horribly wrong for the President. The job numbers for the last month were stagnant. The vacation that he took was constantly criticized for extravagance—and he didn’t even get to stay the entire time because of the hurricane. His new jobs plan which looks a lot like his old jobs plan is dead [...]
Employment and Salary for Accountants and Auditors
What I find interesting about the Accountant and Auditor career tracks is that because of the recent banking failures these professions that help keep people honest have grown as far as their responsibility and requirements. Most businesses have to have them, and trust them, in order to meet regulations. What’s interesting is that, during the [...]
Lawsuits in the US
Did you ever wonder how much money is actually floating around the United States because of lawsuits? Before reading this infographic I knew there was a lot, but after reading it—wow. Talk about something in need of reform! Bigger Check out Paralegal Certification.com for more
Gov. Rick Perry and Prayer
Gov. Rick Perry is coming under a lot of fire, not just because he called for the people of his state to pray, but because he actually led a prayer service within the past week where Scripture was read and he prayed for President Obama. Of course this has the usual suspects1 up in arms [...]
The Birth Certificate Lives On
You may have thought that the latest offering from the White House on the birth certificate controversy would have put to rest the questions surrounding the location of our President’s birth. You’d be mistaken. The latest thing that’s come up is that the White House circulated a Certificate of Live Birth that was a forgery [...]
ObamaCare Funding In Jeopardy if Democrats Choose Tax Increases
I have to say I’m frustrated. I think that I would have preferred if the Republicans had just let the ceiling stand. And I’m not simply talking about the fact that the Dow and S&P are plunging, I’m talking about a matter of principle. We’ve chosen to spend more than we take in, and going [...]
Have You Ever Tried to Be a Table?
This week is my church’s Vacation Bible School week—and we’re most of the way through it. We’re doing the Answers In Genesis Gold Rush VBS and I’ve liked how the material has been presented. Tonight’s the Gospel message. In any case, I came upon this image recently, and it reminded me of some of the [...]
“Thank You For My Smokin’ Hot Wife”
Pastor Joe Nelms decided that, rather than give an actual prayer, he’d pull lines right out of the irreverent prayer from the movie Talladega Nights to inject some humor into what’s normally a cookie cutter prayer. Now, while I can tolerate the “smokin’ hot wife” and perhaps the racing cars types, it’s how he closed the [...]
