Ted Stevens Takes a Hike
Posted on November 21st, 2008 by admin
After 40 years of corrupt, greedy pork-stuffing, Alaska Senator (Rep) has finally been defeated.
It’s about time. Neither political parties nor local constituents benefit from dishonest leadership. Christians especially have the responsibility to hold politicians to a high standard of integrity regardless of their political affiliation.
Take a hike Ted.

Vote For Me, I Will Give You Ice Cream
Posted on November 8th, 2008 by admin
.
A blogging friend found this in his email box recently. It has a moral to the story that is compelling in our current Socialist movement.
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade in 2000. The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

The Obama Infomercial
Posted on October 31st, 2008 by admin
The recent Obama Infomercial was polished, poignant and compelling. It is everything you would expect from what may be considered the most hip media campaign in history. However, the abundance of style could not cover up the lack of substance. Obama has repeatedly made promises and accusations that have gone largely unchecked until now.
Obama is not telling the truth says Calvin Woodward of AP.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.

Obama Called Most Extreme Abortion Supporter Ever
Posted on October 14th, 2008 by admin
Between Two Worlds just introduced me to Robert P. George. He is a credentialed moral philosophers and intellectuals of immense stature. With a law degree and a theology degree from Harvard, and a doctorate from Oxford, he currently serves as McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, and as the director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. He also serves on The President’s Council on Bioethics and previously served on the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
Dr. George is a man who chooses his words very carefully. And that is why his latest essay, Obama’s Abortion Extremism, is so significant. It begins in this way:
Barack Obama is the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek the office of President of the United States. He is the most extreme pro-abortion member of the United States Senate. Indeed, he is the most extreme pro-abortion legislator ever to serve in either house of the United States Congress.
George then raises the fact that many today are suggesting that one can be pro-life and pro-Obama:
Yet there are Catholics and Evangelicals—even self-identified pro-life Catholics and Evangelicals—who aggressively promote Obama’s candidacy and even declare him the preferred candidate from the pro-life point of view.
What is going on here?
I have examined the arguments advanced by Obama’s self-identified pro-life supporters, and they are spectacularly weak. It is nearly unfathomable to me that those advancing them can honestly believe what they are saying. But before proving my claims about Obama’s abortion extremism, let me explain why I have described Obama as “pro-abortion” rather than “pro-choice.”
George proceeds to work through Obama’s legislative career–which has merited a 100% rating each year from the NARAL Pro-Choice America’s Congressional Record on Choice–to show Obama’s unmitigated commitment to abortion, even when the legislation has nothing to do with the making abortion illegal.

ACORN Registers Mickey Mouse
Posted on October 14th, 2008 by admin
Right Voices has a great article dealing with ongoing fraud allegations against ACORN. But lest you think that only conservative bloggers are accusing ACORN of fraud, CNN did a pices that reviewed 2100 applications. Result?
2100 applications rejected because of fraud!
The Wall Street Journal points out that ACORN was able to increase voter registration in Indianapolis to 105% of eligible voters. The article said,

Perhaps the most popluar daytime gabfest for women is The View. The LA Times has just realized that they have been talking about politics. And sometimes they fight.
Well, DUH!

The Right To Vote
Posted on October 12th, 2008 by admin
My last post sparked quite bit of discussion on an oblique topic; does a Right to vote exist? The email traffic was also filled with statements that essentially said, “I don’t want any more Conservatives to vote,” and “I don’t want any more Liberals to vote.”
Is there a Right to vote? To fully answer such a question requires the definition of almost every term in the debate. Is their a legal right to vote? While not enumerated as such in the Constitution, I believe the answer is yes. Is there a philosophical right to vote? Again, I think yes. This is a much deeper discussion involving the legal, social and philosophical background of the founding of America as well as the French Revolution. In this tiny space I merely offer my opinion that a right to vote exists in the fabric of the American soul.

Online Voter Registration
Posted on October 10th, 2008 by admin
I am praying that over 150,000,000 people will register and vote in this election season. The opportunity to vote is both a right and a privilege. With the advent of the Internet, online voter registration is easier than ever. While concerns over voter fraud have attorneys piling up the fees, it should not keep anyone away from the polls. You should register online and vote.
Several sites are listed below that show how to register online to vote. Voter registration websites can be just as partisan as our political parties. I have tried to be fair and balanced by including Republicans, Democrats and Others.
