Why Liberty Lovers Should Avoid the Democratic Party

July 2, 2011

I find myself these days often asking my liberal friends why, if they are truly liberty loving, they vote Democratic. In fact, I try to argue that if they want maximum freedom they should just become Libertarians, since the libertarian view is generally a “live and let live” approach with very few government restrictions on […]

When R&B Music Became A Destructive Force

March 26, 2011

I was chatting with a friend recently about the current state of R&B music, lamenting what it has become. When I was growing up during the late 60s and 70s, what was the pride of the black community, and one of the few opportunities for material success, became increasingly tilted towards sexual promiscuity and irresponsible […]

Progressivism Is Anything But Progressive

March 19, 2011

For those who have been following the National Public Radio story and thanking God for small miracles that resulted in the release of Ron Schiller, senior vice president for fundraising, and its CEO, Vivian Schiller, you might recall uber-intellect Ron Schiller stating the following during his “power lunch” with representatives of  the fake Muslim Education […]

RINOs in the Crosshairs? (Part 2)

February 18, 2011

Welcome back to Part 2, where we will explore the second of three principles that define conservatism, and how it relates to RINOs. To recap, our three principles gleaned from Russell Kirk’s The Conservative Mind are: Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience. Political problems, […]

Liberals and Christianity (A Real World Exchange)

February 9, 2011

Recently on Facebook, I found myself on a trail defending the GOP from one of the typical cheap shots lobbed by a liberal (and trust me, I am very hesitant to defend the GOP these days based on some recent experiences, but I will save that story for another post). On this trail, however, there […]

RINOs In The Crosshairs? (Part 1)

February 4, 2011

I couldn’t resist the title, my liberal friends. A special shout out goes to City Councilwoman and friend Deb Pauly, who suggested that I post on RINOs. So Deb, here you go, and thank you for the inspiration. As many conservatives know, much has been made in conservative and Republican circles about the problem with RINOs (Republicans […]

Living Our Values: The Journey From Liberalism to Conservatism

January 23, 2011

This past weekend I had coffee with two local friends that I met this past year. We were drawn together based on our common interests in conservative principles and constitutional government, two things that Republicans are supposed to espouse, but have conveniently forgotten at various times over the years. The good thing is that since […]

When Working Less Is More

January 14, 2011

Unless you have been under the proverbial rock the past couple of weeks, you know about the tragic Tucson shootings by a mentally ill young man. True to form, what was the senseless act of a deranged man has been politicized, and there is the ultimate hew and cry for tougher gun laws. Of course, […]

Are Blacks Embracing Socialism?

December 30, 2010

This is a particularly difficult blog for me to write, but there is something that needs to be said, and I’m not one to shy away from a difficult subject. What needs to be said is that in my view, Black America is flirting dangerously with socialism in the name of “social justice,” partly because a […]

To A Liberal Friend, On Abortion and Values

December 4, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, I had a discussion with a liberal friend of mine on abortion. His position, as you would expect, was that abortion should be legal because a woman has the right to choose, and that Roe v. Wade was the correct call by the Supreme Court in 1973. Not surprisingly, I countered […]
