Let’s just fast-forward to 2015 and take a look at the landscape, if president Obama is successful in establishing a “single care provider” in the United States. In other words, government run health care.
Currently, the public outpouring is universally against the government choosing doctors and what will be covered by the plan, but there’s another [...]

One of this month’s leading story, especially on talk radio and the news networks, concerns the possibility that Principal Frank Lay and athletic director Robert Freeman could go to jail for six months and lose their pensions for saying grace before a meal at a school event.
People are shocked and enraged, and the Liberty Counsel, [...]

Being intolerant is the primary sin in America’s cultural religion, followed closely by being a racist—just like pride is the first of the Seven Deadly Sins, followed closely by lust and greed.
The politically correct crowd are just as self-righteous about their tenets of faith as any Sunday school teacher, preacher or priest is about theirs. [...]

Jack,
I have enjoyed reading the last few political postings. It has coordinated well with my quiet time in Proverbs. Here are three examples:
Proverbs 28:
When the country is in chaos,
everybody has a plan to fix it—
But it takes a leader of real understanding
to straighten things out.
Proverbs 28:16

Shortly before the last presidential election, when Barrack Obama received the Democratic nomination, his wife Michelle stated that she was proud to be an American for the first time in her life. I remember saying to myself, I can’t believe we’re going to have a First Lady who is ashamed to be an American.
Recently, President [...]

Shortly after his inauguration, Barrack Obama said that the United States was no longer a Christian nation. When he made this statement, he said it with a distinct sense of pride and satisfaction. As he was saying it, I knew he was right.
In the strict sense, the United States has never been a Christian [...]

I appreciate what you wrote about character. I’m reminded of what I found in the rooms of Al-Anon: Though we do not struggle with addiction to substances like our loved ones, the disease of alcoholism wreaks havoc on our mind, body and spirit, as we try to force solutions and control others in a futile [...]

Many invite Christ to come into their lives because they don’t want to face challenges; they don’t want to muddle through life’s difficult situations. They want pat answers for everything and a life free from conflict—free from the negative consequences stemming from poor decisions. They want a cosmic bailout. They also want God to be [...]

Just ran across your site and wanted to pass along my gratitude for what you’re doing . . . it really, really resonates with me personally.
In my comment on this post, I want to mention first that I’m staunchly apolitical.
I think your analysis and insight is profound.
I have to admit though that there is part [...]
