A topic of disgust (and discussion) in conservative circles lately is the new Associated Press (AP) guidelines on how news sources should refer to those who have immigrated illegally.

If you haven’t been living under a rock, chances are you’ve noticed the debate in Washington between the ideas of traditional marriage and homosexual marriage. I’ve been weighing in on the topic on Facebook almost daily. Some people like my opinion; others not so much. Admittedly, it’s taken me a few days to formulate my…
One Word: Sick Actually, being sick is more of a recent development. Just a couple of weeks ago I played the lead secondary role, Father Drobney, in a production of “Don’t Drink The Water” by Woody Allen with the local community theatre, Blue Heron Theatre.

Ruse discusses some disturbing events in Girl Scouts of America that really hit home with me. Ruse writes about the shockingly blatant imposition of radical feminism, abortion, and sexuality on young girls of today. Some may be…
I originally wrote this July 4, 2010. Trying to organize the website I ran across this and decided to do some cleaning up. Only a couple days after Christmas, I felt it relevant to re-publish.
