I haven’t written anything on the blog in a while, so it’s probably time. This comes from Facebook comments (what doesn’t these days). Social networking is fun! I’ve paraphrased and added emphasis below because, hey, this is my blog, after all. So, let’s visit that Obama birth certificate issue One More Time… Continue reading »
Well, it had to happen eventually, and boom, it happened. A friend invited me to become a “fan” of Prayer in School. I’m a “fan” of an almost random collection of things, including Legos, Joe Satriani, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. One more couldn’t hurt, right? Continue reading »
President Barack Obama
Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer says Obama’s school speech uses taxpayer dollars (i.e., your dollars) to indoctrinate your children.
As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology.

Really. Do you support compulsory government-funded education? Okay, there’s no point in asking that. Continue reading »
Van Jones
Gone. Unsurprising, really. Was Van Jones a truther? Well, he signed the petition, and I don’t think he can point to any public statement where he repudiated the truthers until recently… and then very weakly. He says he was the victim of a “vicious smear campaign.” Sure, I’ll grant that. So? He’s a politician and a lawyer, after all. Continue reading »
Health Care
How about passing simple legislation that is straightforward? We could do each of these – but not in one bill!

Health Care
In order for the market to reduce the cost to you, you need two things.
If you lack either of these, you will be, in essence, ignored by the market, almost as if you were a non-participant. Continue reading »

I was asked about this recently. It took me less than one minute to find the following, and follow just a few of the references. Continue reading »
Sarah Palin
The Palin speech really is poetry. Read below. It makes me want to go to Alaska.
And getting up here I say:
It is the best road trip in America.
Soaring through nature’s finest show.
Denali, the great one,

And then the extremes.
I recently posted about the Facebook group Put Christ Back Into Schools. I’ve taken the time to read commentary by supporters and to visit other sites with similar goals. I’ve come to think that we can divide these groups and their supporters into two categories.
In both cases I fear the end result is the spreading of misinformation. In this post I’m going to excerpt from publicly-available online postings to support the above. I’ll provide links, unless asked to remove them by the site maintainers, so that you can have them in full context. I don’t want to misrepresent anyone’s position on this issue, or to be guilty of spreading misinformation.
Citations tagged “wall post” or “discussion thread” can be found on the Facebook page for Put Christ Back Into Schools, linked at the start of this article. Continue reading »
