ACORN (read Obama) forced banks to make high risk loans to pimps and prostitutes to buy homes (foreclosed now…causing massive banking bailouts at taxpayer [...]

Barack Obama Tops Jesus Christ in ‘Hero’ Poll
February 20th, 2009 · 8 Comments
He’s been called, “The One” and “The Messiah,” so I cannot say I was surprised by a headline I read in yesterday’s Chicago Sun-Times: Obama beats out Jesus as America’s hero That headline, spawned by the results of a recent Harris Poll®, simply reflects the fact that President Barack Obama receives more frequent and favorable [...]

No-Call-List Candidate Calls Blogger for Third Time!
June 14th, 2008 · 6 Comments
About two months ago, I began receiving robo-calls from Michael E. Carter, a candidate for Missouri’s lieutenant governor post who is exploiting the average Joe’s immense dislike of automated phone calls (a.k.a., “robo-calls”) by — you guessed it — using the very tactic he purports to dislike. Below is a chronological review of my communications [...]

I’ve Changed My Mind About ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’
January 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Suspecting it to be a left-wing effort to shift credit for defeating the Soviet Union’s military in Afghanistan almost 30 years ago away from Ronald Reagan and to a Democratic Party congressman from Texas whose name the film bears, I told myself I wouldn’t spend good money to see Charlie Wilson’s War.

Competent Turks vs. Incompetent Christians in ’08
January 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment
“I’d rather be ruled by a competent Turk than an incompetent Christian.” Asked who he would support in the 2008 presidential race, a Southern Baptist friend of mine cited the statement above, made by Martin Luther, the protestant reformer who lived five centuries ago, as a partial basis for his decision.
