Lovelle Mixon: Looking Forward and Backward

April 2, 2009

Tonight I watched a Bill O’Reilly episode on Fox News, and was intrigued by the dialogue that took place between two guests over the recent rallies in Oakland honoring Lovelle Mixon, the man who fatally shot four officers before being killed by Oakland police last week. The purpose of the rally was reported to also […]

Seeking Truth

March 12, 2009

I’m finally getting around to writing something mildly philosophical, but this post also goes to the core of my purpose for writing blogs, and tries to make this purpose more concrete. Obviously, I am a Christian, but I want to make it clear why I am a Christian, why it is important to me, and […]

Whoopi and Taxes

March 10, 2009

For those who haven’t had the chance to see Whoopi Goldberg’s perspective on taxes on “The View,” it’s definitely worth viewing: She makes a great argument that while she doesn’t mind paying taxes and giving back, since she has done well financially, she still feels she’s being punished by the government for her success. And […]

Helping My Liberal Friends to Understand the Conservative View – Part 2 of 3

March 4, 2009

Whenever I offer any criticism of Obama’s policies, some of my liberal friends accuse me of “bashing” him personally. I want to be emphatic that it is not my intent to “bash” Obama explicitly or implicitly, and certainly not personally. I simply believe his policies won’t work and know that very little of the “investments” […]

Are Blacks Too Invested in Obama’s Success?

February 14, 2009

This is a particularly difficult blog for me to write, as I run the risk of further alienating my liberal friends, who somehow believe that I want to see Obama fail. This couldn’t be further from the truth, but more on that later. I feel that the black attitude towards Obama is important to consider, […]

An Apology and A Way Forward

February 11, 2009

I am deeply appreciative of the feedback received, both positive and not so positive, from my friends and acquaintances that have been following my new blog.

No Love for Black Conservatives

January 30, 2009

As of this writing, Michael Steele, former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, has today been elected the first black Republican National Committee Chairman. Already, the mainstream media and liberal politicians are putting out hit pieces on him, and are suggesting that the Republican Party is “pandering” to the “African-American” community (whatever that means, as I consider […]

Helping My Liberal Friends to Understand the Conservative View – Part 1 of 3

January 26, 2009

Since joining FaceBook, it has become clear to my growing number of FaceBook friends who have either kept up with me over the years or with whom I am just now re-connecting after many years, that I am a conservative. I wanted to take this opportunity to represent what it means for me to be […]

Addendum to My Global Warming Post

January 25, 2009

One thing I neglected to mention in my previous post is the concept I have coined “means to end thinking”. I will discuss this as a specific topic in more detail in a future post, but for now my point is that while those peddling the global warming hysteria may indeed mean well, I believe […]
