Sarah Palin: Dumb like a Fox

She didn’t have time to do Meet the Press or This Week or any of the other big name political shows that are considered a “must” by political insiders. So where was Sarah Palin?

Now we know the answer to that nagging question. She wasn’t breast-feeding Trig, helping the older kids with their homework, learning the latest stump speech or brushing up on issues great and small for the vice-presidential debate. She was shopping till she dropped at Sacks and Neiman Marcus with the GOP’s charge cards. Continue reading “Sarah Palin: Dumb like a Fox” →

Lessons from California’s Battle to Protect Marriage

The battle to protect traditional marriage in California was the most expensive ballot measure in the nation decided in Tuesday’s election. “So goes California, goes the nation,” was the battle cry of activists on both sides as money poured into California from all 50 states to fight for and against the initiative that amends the state’s constitution and puts the definition of marriage out of reach of judicial activists. Continue reading “Lessons from California’s Battle to Protect Marriage” →

The Election and the Christian

America is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. Our savings and investments have eroded while the costs of health care and energy are out of control. Our national debt has gone through the roof.

The world is more dangerous than ever. Our borders are no longer defended. Our courts are out of control. A majority of our judges no longer feel bound by the law or the Constitution which has been our plumb line. Instead, they prefer to strike out on their own. Property rights and parental rights have been eroded. The institution of marriage is under attack.

Elections can be a daunting experience for any voter. There are so many issues. The candidates’ positions are often couched in political doublespeak. What’s a voter to do? More important, what’s a Christian to do? Continue reading “The Election and the Christian” →

Why Joe the Plumber is more articulate than John McCain

Ever wonder why a guy like Joe the plumber is more articulate on the issues than John McCain, a man who has been a United States senator for 22 years and who won his party’s nomination for president of the United States?

It was maddening to watch McCain in his last debate with Barack Obama. McCain was right on the issues but he couldn’t articulate them, at least not very well. Continue reading “Why Joe the Plumber is more articulate than John McCain” →

The ACORN and the Obama Tree

An ACORN doesn’t fall far from the tree so Obama — the big oak on whom the Democrats have pinned their hopes — is trying to kick it as far away as he possibly can.

Ties between Obama and ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – are legion. However, now that ACORN’s part in the sub prime mortgage mess has been exposed and the group’s voter registration programs have become an object of public scorn, the junior senator from Illinois is trying to throw ACORN overboard as he did his former pastor and a laundry list of other unseemly characters. Continue reading “The ACORN and the Obama Tree” →

Vote for Barack Obama

Vote for Barack Obama if . . . you want to pay higher taxes.

Obama is claiming that he will not raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 per year. However, his plan will punish several hundred thousand small business and family farms that are not incorporated but pay the individual rate. Small business is an important engine that drives our economy and creates jobs. Continue reading “Vote for Barack Obama” →

Hey, Sarah: Time to go for the Kill!


The Defenders of Wildlife isn’t the only group gunning for Sarah Palin. The really big cannons will be fired following tonight’s vice-presidential debate and the media elite has its sights squarely on the head of the popular Alaska governor.

Any bobble, no matter how slight, will be in bold headlines tomorrow.

While the mainstream media is willing to overlook major gaffs from Joe Biden, the slightest hesitation from Palin is seen as proof positive that she is the empty-headed, backwoods bimbo from Wasilla it has tried to make her out to be. Continue reading “Hey, Sarah: Time to go for the Kill!” →

The Big Questions for the debate likely will go unasked

The first of four debates in the run-up to the presidential election may or may not take place tonight at the University of Mississippi. If it does, don’t set your hopes too high. Judging from past debates, some of the most important questions may never be asked.

The first debate will center around foreign policy and national defense. Since no nation can be secure without a strong economy, host Jim Lehrer likely will bring economic issues into this debate. In a perfect world, these are the questions that would be asked and answered. Use this list as a guide and keep score. Continue reading “The Big Questions for the debate likely will go unasked” →

Obama Panders to Whiney Women

Real women take responsibility for their actions: Whiney women blame others.
Real women don’t ask for special favors: Whiney women break in line.
Real women make informed choices: Whiney women make excuses.

Are you a “real woman” or a “whiney woman”? Before you answer that question, take this short presidential quiz: Continue reading “Obama Panders to Whiney Women” →

Palin: It’s all about the “O”s

I will not lose a night’s sleep worrying about the fact that the bright, articulate,
winsome Sarah Palin could be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Sarah Palin is the only one on either ticket who has any executive “real world” experience – the only one of the four who has ever met a payroll or had bottom line responsibility.

There are those who belittle the responsibility she had as mayor of Wasilla, or as the governor of Alaska.    They shouldn’t.  Continue reading “Palin: It’s all about the “O”s” →
