This is one of my favorite guitar players.

This is one I just saw, but have seen coming for a long time. Those who decide to kill lots of people tend to go where they can cause the most carnage with the least obstruction and when the cavalry does arrive, they kill themselves. So if you want to invite a crazed mass murderer [...]

One of the things I find disconcerting about politics is that there are too many people that look at increasing the size of the Republican party without concern for keeping the principles upon which it was built around the mid 1800’s. If the party gets big by including more moderates, changing what it stands for [...]

What do Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Hitler, Stalin, Ghengis Kahn, Lenin, Pol Pot, Amin, and Tut all have in common? They all are under the rule of the same King that raises up and brings low all nations.
God raised up and brought low Nebudchadnezzar … who slaughtered the people of God deported them and scattered the [...]

When I see what I’ve seen around this country and the inane reasons people give for supporting Obama, I have to believe that it is what Laura Hollis said on townhall.com.

One of the things that people do is generally think of voting for their own interests. In some senses, it would make sense for me to vote for Obama … I’m already among the lowest 40% of the country on a pay/deduction scale (I pay no federal income tax at this point, and I report [...]

Most Presidential candidate can point to a long list of accomplishments. Carter, Bush and Clinton point to running a state well. Other Presidents point to introduction of legislation that helped do this or that. Try as I might, Obama seems to have been invisible. He hasn’t done anything. There isn’t anything with his name attached [...]

I found this rather interesting. While I am not of the Russian Orthodox (or Eastern Orthodox in general) church, I felt the writings of Solzhenitsyn almost prophetic. The number of categories this falls under are profound … it is the basis for what is wrong with all of society: those in power, those wanting power, [...]

While I don’t think McCain is the best person for the office of the president (yet closer to that ideal than Obama) the main reason I will vote for Palin is that I would not want to see a Justice Hilary Clinton on the court. The Republican machine at this point is running on the [...]

Someone finally looked at the great depression, and figured out that FDR had nothing to do with the recovery, and likely caused the depression to last 7 years longer than it should.
The Dems got it wrong before, and they will get it wrong again if they are in office. Do we really want economic melt [...]

First, I want to say that Islam is nowhere near homogeneous. There are modern Muslims that look at Islam in much the same way that nominal mainstream churches look at Christianity … it is viewed not as all encompassing, and they reject the idea that the Koran is anything more than just the writings of [...]

Republicans have Watergate, the Democrats have Kansasgate. The theft of specific items with import to the campaign can only be compared to the Watergate break-in. How far up the chain does this go?

One of the things I can’t stomach about almost any politician is double speak: saying one thing that clearly means something other than what you mean. The Demoncrats are at it in spades with this paragraph from their platform document (page 50).

We recognize that the right to bear arms is an important part of the [...]

Double standards. People inherently know they are wrong. If one person in my classroom gets a break on a grade, then all the people in the class get the same break. You don’t have double standards.
The police should not have double standards either. If someone performs some act that for one person is illegal, then [...]

Really interesting read … as long as you don’t mind a rare expletive. David Berlinski is a rather interesting character. For those that want to say religion is the only reason for arguing intelligent design, he must be their worst nightmare. Irreligious would be a good description — though capable of quoting from at least [...]
