How real is global warming?

One of the most contentious debates in our time is the debate over global warming and it’s supposed causes. It seems that most of the far left liberals in the world all want to blame human beings (that’s you and me) for global warming. So far, they have done a pretty good job of doing [...]

Catholic court documents ordered released

As a disclaimer, let me state categorically that I am not trying to bash the Catholic Church with this article.
If there is one thing the Catholic Church is known for, it is it’s secrecy. I am not versed at all in their religious proceedings, but the first thing I think of when I hear the [...]

On “Held by the Taliban”

The NY Times ran a remarkable five part series this week called “Held by the Taliban” written by David Rohde, the Times reporter who, along with an Afghan journalist and his driver, spent over 7 months in Taliban captivity before escaping in June. Rohde’s account of his capture, the constant fear and threats during his time as a prisoner, the [...]

China blocks the New York Times website

During the summer Olympics in Beijing, China, the world went sort of crazy over China’s relaxing of certain restrictions upon it’s citizens and anyone visiting that country.

It’s clear they are pushing more and more to connect with people who vote for their values and while I don’t see [...]

The real John McCain story

Yesterday, The New York Times published a story about John McCain’s “relationship” with a beautiful lobbyist, Vicki Iseman.  They have tried to draw a picture of romantic involvement between the two and the McCain campaign has wholeheartedly denied that anything of the kind went on.  There are questions as to the timing of the story [...]

Mike Huckabee–A different candidate with a different campaign

We all know Mike Huckabee is a different kind of political candidate. He is simply not cut from the same cloth as the other candidates. Given no chance of survival in this campaign, he has risen to the top in Iowa and according to some polls, in the nation as well.
The New York [...]

From the New York Times, Mike Huckabee is a nice guy

I just found this video on the Mike Huckabee website and it really shows, again, how  different he is from the rest of the candidates.  He has an entirely different attitude and approach to the campaign than any of the others.  I really liked what he said at the end of the video.  Paraphrasing, he [...]
