A Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, You have given us a beautiful country. Indeed, You brought our ancestors into a good land of flowing waters, rich soil, and abundant products of every sort.  As a people, we are truly blessed.  Lord, in our arrogance we sometimes forget from whom our blessings flow.  Let us remember that without Thee […]

LGBT Activism

This post contains thoughts that I have expressed in previous articles. The LGBT community is relatively small but extremely active.  Regarding the modern era, until the latter half of the 20th Century it had only existed in the shadows of Western society. Now it is in the open.  It has strong support from the entertainment […]

Progressivism vs Traditionalism

We are engaged in a ideological struggle for the soul of America.  On one side of the battle are those who wish to fundamentally change Western Civilization.  These are the so-called progressives. They reject the old Judeo-Christian ethic to which most of our society once subscribed.  They favor globalism over nationalism and promote a progressive, […]

Globalism vs Nationalism

Behind the scenes of America’s political turmoil in 2020 is a struggle between globalism and nationalism. Many of our great corporations have become international in scope.  This is true of Asian and European as well as American corporations.  Companies like Microsoft, Google, Ford, General Motors, Honda, and Toyota have interests, employees, and production facilities in […]

Sadness

A few days from now the 2020 general election will have been decided.  I pray for a good outcome, but I have no idea how it will all turn out. The one thing I do know is that I am experiencing a great sadness.  I am sad for my great country.  I am distressed by […]

Rotten to the Core

I hate to say disparaging or judgmental things about another person, but I cannot remain silent at this critical moment.  Much that I write here I have written before, but I must repeat these facts over and over again in the hope that it might influence a few misinformed persons to see the truth.  Every […]

Journalistic Ethics

Journalists are supposedly guided by the following code of ethics: Honesty: journalists must be truthful.  It is unacceptable to report information known to be false or report facts in a misleading way to give a wrong impression.  Independence and objectivity: journalists should avoid topics in which they have a financial or personal interest.  Such interest […]

The Gold Curtain

In the time of the Cold War we referred to The Iron Curtain, the barrier between the Communist east and the democratic states of the west. Today, in the United States, we have what I refer to as The Gold Curtain, a barrier blocking the accurate dissemination of news to the citizens of this nation.  […]

The Tipping Point

There are many clear dividing lines between the Republican and Democrat Parties.  My son Stuart recently discovered one of these dividing lines, and it motivated him to finally and firmly commit his vote to Trump and the Republican Party in this election. He still finds Trump’s personality and demeanor obnoxious and un-presidential, and he totally […]

Death of a Party

It is a sad thing to see a once proud and powerful organization collapse and die before your eyes.  That is what has happened to the Democrat Party. Some years ago I was proud to call myself a Democrat. Many people continue to carry the Democrat Party label, but I doubt they realize how far […]
