  • Have Gun Won’t Travel

    President Barrack Obama is promoting the passage of an international arms control treaty entitled, the “Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing Of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials, or CIFTA.  It was originally signed by President Bill Clinton, but never ratified by the GOP-controlled Senate.  Now, presumably, with a friendlier Democrat Senate to work with the passage of this assault upon the Second Amendment appears ready to go forward.  

    Grab your gun.

  • Council’s appointments lead to questions

    In the last week, questions have begun to swirl about not only LaFollette’s new police chief but also how he ended up in the position.

    For a brief moment, I don’t think the people squeezed into the council chambers last Tuesday night believed James Lynch had just nabbed the top cop spot for the city.

    In fact, I don’t think he initially trusted his own ears.

    There was no discussion between council members about the applicants, their credentials or anything for that matter. In fact, entire council appeared disengaged from the process at times.

  • We Are No Longer a Christian Nation

    These were the words of our new president recently in Turkey.  Obama made a similar statement in an email response to CBN's David Brody in 2007:  “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation.”  Whatever we once were?

    Patrick Henry, the “give me liberty or give me death guy” said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

  • Loving someone regardless

    This past week, I was walking through the woods. There’s nothing in my opinion more peaceful than the outdoors. Trust me, if you ever want to leave the real world behind, take a trip into the realms of nature and explore God’s great big universe.

    I walked deeper into the woods and noticed a tree standing from a distance. It was beautiful and appeared so full of life. However, it wasn’t until I got closer to it that I began to see the flaws and imperfections it previously had.
