A Letter to the President

Tom Foreman is a correspondent on Anderson Cooper 360.  I actually read through his letter the first time thinking that it was written by Anderson Cooper, and although it’s not, it is written by one of his guys and displayed by CNN on their website.  Foreman has been writing President Obama a letter each week [...]

Freedom of Choice Act

I wrote last summer that Barack Obama would be the most liberal president on abortion to ever serve in the White House (Barack Obama on Abortion).  He said during his campaign that the first thing he would do in office is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.  There is a campaign in the works that makes a [...]

Answering Tough Questions: Abortion

I’ve just read a blog post entitled “How to stump an anti-abortionist with one simple question.”  The question is this: If abortion were illegal, what should be done with mothers who get one?  According to the post, asking anti-abortion protesters this question draws puzzled looks and poorly thought out responses.  If Christians can’t articulate a [...]

A Bit of Historical Perspective

This is not a “Hurray for our side” nor a “He’s not my President” type of rant.  There is not anything here you can’t find somewhere else.  I’m writing this post for three reasons:  1) I watched the inauguration live  2) I’m a history teacher, and 3) I blog, that’s what I do.
The presidential campaign [...]

President Obama, Electoral College, and Where Republicans Went Wrong

One year ago I was certain Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president, and there was nothing Democrats nor Republicans could do about it.  It’s 10:30 on the east coast, and if CNN is right then Obama will accept winning the 2008 Presidential race sometime between now and tomorrow morning.  This has been [...]

This video was created by our friends at nrl4prop8.wordpress.com.  This is a link  to the original post at their site.  You all know my take on same-sex marriage: if you want to have some sort of “civil union” recognized by the state, I’m fine with [...]

Catholic Vote 2008

No, I am not Roman Catholic.  CatholicVote2008.com has put together an excellent video to remind us all that it’s not as important who you vote for as it is that you vote.  I believe all Christians should be able to agree with the message of this film.  It’s a good way to spend the next [...]

Biden vs. Palin, VP Debate

The debate is actually ongoing, so I’m not going to speculate who the winner is.  I’m sure the media is already prepared to announce Joe Biden won and tells us why, with the exception of Fox News.  I would like to point out the obvious to anyone carefully listening to each question and answer: neither [...]

Where’s the Middle?

I’m not the only one that has noticed the extreme polarization of our nation’s politics.  There used to be a middle.  In the primaries, Republicans leaned to the right, Democrats leaned to the left, but once the nominations were made by each party the candidates “danced” to the middle to attract voters.  The majority of [...]
