  • Conservatives Rally and Speak Truth to Obama

    It’s been a long, hot summer, politically, across the country. Americans from all walks of life, including Republicans, Independents, and Conservative Democrats have challenged politicians of all walks of political life. The catalyst, of course, has been the Obama proposal to nationalize our healthcare system, however. While healthcare has been the catalyst, Americans have showed that they are tired of out of control government spending.

  • The Conservative Bill of Rights

    For most of my politically conscious life, my conservative friends have played the same tune over and over, ad absurdum: “Keep government off my back.” Government, they say, should be kept “out of our lives.” Pundits like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh, among many others in the Washington-bashing business, claim that government is at the root of all evil. And by the looks of things, some of these same people are now organizing against President Obama’s health care plan and singing the same anti-government song.

  • Time to come clean

    Shakespeare quoted in his play, “Hamlet”: “To thine own self be true.” This week, I think we can all relate to this one, especially myself.

    Yes, there’s always been something that I’ve kept hidden from the world, except from a select few. It’s something that as soon as I step out and fully embrace, I can really become myself and feel the utmost freedom, unlike any other.

    That’s right, I’m talking about…my passion for wanting to ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

  • Kids are not the only ones taking tests

    I don’t particularly like writing about my life.

    Let’s face it- that is not why you bought this paper and well, it is just not that interesting.

    However, I am convinced that at least five moms who are reading this will know exactly what I am talking about when they read this.

    They will say, “I did that” as this column progresses.

    So here we go… and by the way, a few fathers may get this as well.

    August can be tough month for mothers.

  • In the eye of the Beholder

    “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.”  Isaiah 5:20

    This week the Obama administration reneged on its commitment to “look forward” and not prosecute the prior administration for alleged misconduct in the War on Terror.  Nevertheless, Attorney General Eric Holder has just authorized an investigation into the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques used in the first months following the 9/11 attack.

  • There are no wrong turns down the road of life

    A popular ancient proverb says, “The man who lives only by hope will die with despair.”

    Within the next few weeks to come, I’ll be celebrating another year. About twenty-nine-and-holding-years ago, I came into this world. Grant it, I had no idea the direction my life would take, but I’m grateful it all worked like it did, both the bad and good: the bad to make me stronger and the good to make me cherish every yesterday when today is gloomy.

  • One man's trash is another man's treasure

    I love flea markets. Every once in a while, you can find a good deal on that one thing on this planet that you simply can’t live without.

    While looking through each knick-knack displayed on each table, I couldn’t help but wonder. Did the seller ever envision his or her items for sale would one day impact someone‘s life? Though the seller assumed each chipped and not-so-eye-appealing item was just another thing to sale, to someone else it was a lost treasure with tremendous impact.
