I’m reprinting below an article written by Ellen Painter Dollar and first printed at www.patheos.com.  It explains my own heart, is written fairly, and is about as close to the heart of Jesus’ teaching and the political challenges we face as anything I’ve read lately. I gladly share it with...

Ah, the wonders of the "October Surprise!"  I'm betting that Monday's "Foreign Policy Debate" will have a whole new focus, with Libya pushed off the front burner. Here's an update on the Art of the Deal: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/10/19/obamas-october-surprise-nuke-deal-with-iran/?...

I've discovered that many of my friends and family, and quite a few of their friends and family, are part of that large block of voters in America, the Undecided.  The Undecided will probably determine many election outcomes, including the Presidency.  It worries me because many more...

Binders full of women? To make a Gilligan's Island analogy, last night's debate reminded me of an argument between the professor and an exotic hybrid combining Gilligan and Thurston Howell III. Good God, where do we begin? According to the talking heads, President Obama needed to climb through...

It's the age of action, a commercial proclaims as a man drives his old pick up truck along, towing a horse trailer.  The commercial talks about how he knows what to do, how he doesn't get upset, as the truck gets stuck.  He leads his horses out of the trailer, hooks them up to the truck...

Our President didn't bring his "A" game last night. He was far too "Zen" like, way too calm and relaxed. He was too professorial, politically correct and kind. He almost seemed disengaged. WTF?

Whenever he comes on the air, the radio or in print I can immediately hear his cool voice talking only to me and in my ear. He is O.B. our President Barack, Mr. Obama, President Obama - he is the man!! He deserves to stay the President. If the country does not come out, it will be like driving a...

How did President Obama lose the first debate? Let me count the ways:             * He never even mentioned his plutocratic opponent’s “47 percent” statement branding disabled veterans and such as losers, which was like leaving your 50-caliber...

I was talking recently with one of our nation’s youth (19 years old) when the subject of politics came up, that dreaded word which has sparked many heated debates, especially lately. We were about ten seconds into the conversation when he quickly said, “I don’t like that Romney guy.” I said, “...
