The comic above points out the hypocrisy that is present in our politics, regardless of your party affiliation. If you look at the comic above, Gov. Sarah Palin was Republican-approved, Democrat-opposed. Caroline Kennedy is Democrat-approved, Republican-opposed. Neither party is willing to find anything good in the candidate of the other side, regardless of their qualifications. […]
Playing gotcha
We have been hearing a lot about Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He has been a regular on the late night talk show joke circuit as well as on all the editorial cartoon pages. I must admit that my favorite is the one above because I am a Lord of the Rings fan. (If you click […]
So, the solution is to dump middle-class retired folk?
James 1:27 says, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” I have been watching the drumbeat to punish the unions mount as the debate over the Detroit bailout goes on. It comes mainly from the […]
Why did I vote for Obama?
A person wrote in and asked a very honest question about why I voted for President-elect Obama. His concern was about voting for someone who supports abortion. The person who wrote me is pro-life in the widest of ways, since he is also against the death penalty in general. He gently asked me about my […]
National crime and prison policies are failures, part 05
There is not really much said about crime and punishment in the New Testament that can guide the Christian who wishes to set governmental policy for criminals. This is because the apostles and disciples were outside the governmental system, and only saw it defendants. In passing, this is why we have to be careful about […]
More suffragette tidbits
For those of you who are interested, here is another small list of suffragist tidbits. 1. The first legal woman voter in Colonial America was Lydia Chapin. She was granted the right to vote at a town meeting in Uxbridge, Massachussetts, in 1756. 2. In 1869 the National Woman Suffrage Association was formed by Susan […]
Sarah Palin redux
There are times when I have to fight certain smug feelings that come over me. This is one of those times, and it has to do with Gov. Sarah Palin. During the campaign, there were criticisms of Gov. Sarah Palin that were truly sexist. Does her hairdo really matter? Does her pregnant daughter mean that […]
America remains socially moderate
I voted for Obama. It is instructive to see how people voted on social issues. At this time of the morning, gay marriage has been turned down in several states and looks to actually be turned down in California by a slim majority. Gay adoption has been turned down in one state. All anti-abortion related […]
I have a dream
Congratulations to President-elect Obama
Our nation has made history today. The first black president of the United States has been elected. Yet he is not simply black, he is also white. We all hope that he will bring balance to the office of the President. May God grant him many years. At this point, it appears that President-elect Obama […]
