Rudy Giuliani, Darrell Issa, and too many other Republicans have spent the last few days spouting about the degree to which President Obama may or may not love his country. Not only is this a waste of time, it is hypocritical and it misses the point. President Obama’s ideology is inherently critical of America. As […]

Truth Telling Matters
18 Feb 2015
Brian Williams’s leave of absence due to concerns about his truthfulness is just the highest profile of a long line of individuals who have stretched the truth. It is interesting to me that the truth matters so much to Americans in a news anchor, but so little in our political leaders. Politicfact.com has four pages […]

Scott Walker and Education
16 Feb 2015
Scott Walker (R-WI) must be the front-runner for the GOP’s presidential nomination. Why? He is earning significant scrutiny from mainstream media outlets, primarily over two issues, which are related–his lack of a college degree and his views on evolution. While we need a president with brainpower, smart presidents are not always good presidents. What we […]

One of my usual sources of info that I use in this blog is the Wall Street Journal; I consider the WSJ and the Financial Times (FT) of London to be the premier press sources of economic information. Its unfortunate that I have progressive friends who will immediately discount something I say because it came […]

The President’s History Lecture
06 Feb 2015
On January 5, President Obama, in a speech at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, equated the current jihadist threat with “terrible deeds committed in the name of Christ.” Read the entire speech to get the full context. But if you do, you will find President Obama bending over backward to find some moral equivalency between […]

Mark Smith notes Scott Walker’s impressive rise in the early polls in his news article for yesterday, and while I agree it doesn’t matter much yet, it does matter some…and not just to Republicans. Democrats rightfully fear Walker, as he is one of the few that has successfully fought their agenda and won. National Review […]

Legal Niceties? Or Necessities?
29 Jan 2015
It now seems that in at least a few locations in the United States—not Great Britain—we are seeing “voluntary” Sharia law courts. As one journalist put it, this is how the formal Sharia law courts began in England. First it was simply voluntary. One could opt to have one’s case heard by a group of […]

Intuit, the maker of the popular tax software product TurboTax, has enraged customers this year in a move that significantly threatens their tax filing software dominance. Intuit changed their software this year such that it forced previous users of its Deluxe software (the mid tier product) to purchase the Premier software (the most expensive version). […]

President Obama and The Share Our Wealth Plan
20 Jan 2015
It is probably not wise to write a blog on the evening of the State of the Union address–before listening to the address–but it isn’t the most foolish thing I have done in life. Scripture has a number of warnings about being foolish, and I am hoping that Americans take heed. President Obama unveiled a […]

Christian Higher Education: Is It Possible?
18 Jan 2015
Once again I was reminded of how important it is to be vigilant in Christian colleges and universities to try to ensure they remain true to their mission as ultimately expressed in the Word of God. I was privileged to be a part of the American Enterprise’s Values and Capitalism group retreat in San Diego […]
