During his pampered visit to the United States, Mexican President, Felipe Calderon condemned the new Arizona immigration law (which simply enforces our federal law). Says Calderon: “Criminalizing immigration, which is a social and economic phenomena, this way opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination.” Oh, I see. “Intolerance, hate, and discrimination.” I wonder how many people in our country …

A street preacher in Cumbria, England was recently arrested. His crime: Saying that homosexuality is a sin. I have news for you: According to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1). Maybe you don’t believe in the Bible but is belief now going to be mandated by law? The police officer approaching the man asked if he was expressing …

President  Obama gave quite the commencement speech at Hampton University, Virginia. His supposedly wise, benign words talked about how new media such as Blackberries and Twitter can be a distraction to education. As a matter of fact, the new media can indeed be a distraction, a welcome distraction. Our current public education system does not offer students a chance to …

Nancy Pelosi, our representative who really knows how to put the “speaker” into the “house” decided recently that she has even more to say about issues relating to present day America. As Forrest Gump might tell us, “Nancy opening her mouth is like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you’re going to get.”  Yes, the mystery is always …

By now, everyone is familiar with the charge that Arizona’s new immigration law is racist. So now, when a state decides to enforce a federal law about people needing to enter our country legally, rather than illegally, somehow this is racist. According to the latest CBS poll, 61 percent of Americans agree with the new law. Wow! That’s a lot …

In last week’s article I spent a good deal of time  talking about the tension between South Park and Mecca! As you’ll recall, the producers of  Comedy Central’s prime time cartoon were warned on a Muslim web site that their lives might be in danger for portraying Mohammed on their television show. The veiled, subtle admonition reminded people of similar …

According to The Los Angeles Times on April 21, 2010: A radical Islamic group has warned “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone after a recent episode of the Comedy Central cartoon depicted the prophet Muhammad in a bear costume. “We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind …

President Obama complained in a speech that the Tea Party crowd, which is organized mostly around the concept of lower taxes, has not thanked him. After all, under Obama, no one who makes 200 thousand dollars a year or less will see a tax hike. I’ll give you a moment to get over the surprise that our president has delivered …

I had a chance to attend my second Tea Party yesterday, at the Oceanside pier amphitheater, April 15th, 2010, Tax Tea Party Day.  This time I was able to take on a more active role.  Rick Amato did a terrific job emceeing the event on short notice, while I hosted his show from a KCBQ booth in the plaza,  doing …

Obama just made the planet a whole lot safer by deciding not to call our enemies “Radical Muslim Extremists” anymore. The idea is that he doesn’t want the peaceful Muslim nations to think we are viewing them all through the same lens. Whew!  That’ll do it. Can you just hear people all over the world breathing a sigh of relief? …

March 31, 2010 Had this story taken place in Berkley, California, I doubt that anyone would have batted an eyebrow. But this is the little city of Davenport, Iowa, the heartland of America. City Administrator, Craig Malin surprised not only the citizens of Davenport, but the town council itself, by sending out a pleasant little memo cheerfully announcing that Good …

When North Korea and Iran defy U.S. protests and U.N. sanctions, the response of the Obama administration is a call for calmness, patience and more negotiation. But when Israel dares to build some apartment buildings in its own capital city, we see our president express more anger and more indignation than he has ever voiced toward another nation. While meeting …

Well, they did it. They passed this monster health care bill, knowing full well that the high majority of Americans do not want anything to do with it. Speaker-of-The House, Nancy Pelosi lied through her teeth, claiming it was done “for the American people.” Conservatives are consoling themselves with the momentum of the Tea Parties, Town Hall meetings and recent …

Remember all the commentary back in 2008 after Pastor Rick Warren interviewed both presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama? Those who favored McCain pointed out how direct his answers were when Warren threw out questions such as “Does evil exist?” Those siding with Obama talked about McCain as if he gave overly simplistic answers. They enjoyed pointing out how …

Wal-Mart is in trouble once more. It’s hard to believe that a simple discount store can continue earning so much non-stop condemnation. But then, when self-righteousness comes in a modern, Politically Correct variety, one need not be so surprised. This time, Wal-Mart is getting hammered for the very practice that made them famous in the first place; selling an item …

Between E Mail, Facebook, Twitter, fax machines, chat rooms, cell phones, text messages, and the ability to pay bills on line, people are discovering (big surprise) that they really don’t need to use the post office anymore. I think the only remaining usage comes from grandma sending out her Christmas cookies each year and good luck teaching grandma that even …

Well, it didn’t take them long. Almost immediately after pilot, Joe Stack flew his small plane into the federal building in Austin, Texas, the FBI uncovered a suicide note in which the murdering thug explained his motives. Actually, a litany of complaints were discovered, including a hatred for the IRS. Well, say no more. This was red meat for the …

The cracks in Obama’s armor are finally being recognized, even by many of the people who voted for him. Indeed, these are not so much modest cracks as San Andreas Fault lines. People who tried to warn the country back in 2008 are now enjoying a cautious sigh of relief, as Conservatives seem poised to regain the House and the …

Record cold snowstorms (due to Global Warming according to MSNBC) have literally shut Washington down. Hmm. Washington shut down? Maybe we have something here. Oh well…I digress because even if Washington cannot put a handle on the weather, at least they’ll get Iranian President Ahmadinnejad under control. In the wake of Iran’s announced nuclear enrichment, our administration has responded swiftly …

I’m getting so tired of hearing Republicans being called, “the party of no.”  Let’s just get this nonsense cleared up once and for all. Words such as no or yes are neutral. They only take on moral meaning when we decide what we are saying yes or no to. After all, we as a society, decided long ago that we …
