Say it, don't spray it
Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Season's Greetings. Like, Whatever, Dude. I do not necessarily subscribe to the view that this devolution of yuletide messages represents a full-blown War On Christmas, unless you think of it as a faceless war of attrition like the wearing down of the significance of Memorial Day or Pearl Harbor Day. If it is a war, both sides have gaping holes in their underlying principles and battle strategies. An attempt to be ...
Life is what happens ...
Drug debate is not about birth control "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" - John Lennon Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration took what appeared to be an extraordinarily conservative position to block a FDA recommendation that would have allowed young girls, age 11 and older, to buy a morning-after pill over the counter without parental consent. Predictably, the abortion crowd threw a ...

That just ain't right

Tebow continues a hot topic
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to their sixth straight come-from-behind victory Sunday over the Chicago Bears. He's now the number-one topic at the water cooler in the country. Tim Tebow is the most talked-about white Bronco since the O.J. Simpson chase.

Tebow faces pseudo-political correctness
Despite the fact that in America, 60 to 70 percent of people identify themselves as "Christian" to one degree or another, Christian-bashing seems to be just about as popular a pastime as watching football these days. And when a national football player commits the unpardonable sins of being both pro-life and vociferously, pro-Jesus, you end up with Monday morning pundits who cast ridiculous judgments from on top of their lofty thrones, much like the old ...
Teddy -- Roosevelt -- not Kennedy
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? President Obama was in Kansas Tuesday to commemorate Teddy Roosevelt's speech there a century ago.

Tim Tebow was the talk of the NFL Monday after leading the Denver Broncos to their sixth victory in seven starts as quarterback. ...
Protesters deserve to be heard

Obama Agenda Undermines Medical Innovation
Alzheimer's Disease costs the U.S. economy over $200 billion per year, about $140 billion of which is a direct federal budgetary cost to Medicare and Medicaid. On our present course, this cost will quintuple to $1 trillion by 2050. It is the major driver up the steeply rising health care cost curve.
