No person is easier defeated than one who holds nothing worthy of defense. The board of directors at Goshen College, a Mennonite school in Indiana, fits that category to some extent. But the Mennonite pacifism is at least partially pure. Secular pacifism can’t make that claim. Mennonites are traditional pacifists, shunning war and confrontation no […]
Everywhere I look, on every issue, I am seeing America split into two camps. You are either a “Progressive” big government, gay promoting, pro-amnesty, green zealot, or you are a “Constitutionalist” small government, freedom lover. Our country divided is unfriendly, uncivil, unhappy, and suffering from a lack of cohesive citizenship, pitting false ideas of victimhood […]
This is the last straw! I can handle it when the AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons, say they are not competing with for-profit insurance companies when, in fact, the AARP is one of the world’s largest retailers of health care insurance, travel insurance and life insurance in the history of man. I can […]
As the United States and its state and local governments wander around the edge of a financial abyss, one can only be amused by the some of the economists. Economics is touted as a science yet if it is a science why is there such a diversity of opinion? There is one team of economists […]
There’s a study for all occasions and all occasions warrant a study. Otherwise, grant money would remain unspent. One study recently targeted preschool education, finding preschool classes provided benefits to students even into adulthood. Sound odd? Not really; many are the preschool skills that serve us in our latter years. Counting to ten helps determine […]

In an appalling show of both sheer arrogance and contempt for the American people, or simply blatant hypocrisy pertaining to genuine societal justice, the White House along with mainstream media outlets across America have declared that, “high unemployment is the new norm”. So in other […]
We have heard the same answer from 2 different people who know far more about complicated financial matters than anyone else we know so we guess it must be ‘true’: ‘QE-2 is where the Fed expands its balance sheet by making up money out of thin air. This allows them, the Fed, the ability to […]
Politicians and media experts readily adopt the latest notions, often without question. No one wants to miss their seat on the politically correct bandwagon. Toward that end media personalities and worldly politicians gush and swoon over the so-called Arab Spring. However, rhetoric and wishful thinking aside, the jury remains out on the forces driving Middle […]
The bleakness of national job creation can be witnessed on the current college graduation level, according to a recent New York Times story. Nearly 45 percent of all new college graduates fewer than 25 years of age are either unemployed or working at a job that does not require a degree at all…which obviously defeats […]
Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, which the democrats say is the reason black people had to support them during the 1960’s–is a lie. And it’s probably the biggest lie that’s been told to the blacks since Woodrow Wilson segregated the federal government after getting the NAACP to support him. After talking with black voters across the […]
