Since there is no mention of marriage at all in the Constitution, I believe the states should have jurisdiction over the issue, and the voters should decide whether to acknowledge same sex marriages. California’s Proposition 8 has not been struck down. The parties who brought the case to the Supreme Court had no standing. In…

I believe this was a good decision. When the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed it was never intended to be a law in perpetuity. At the time it was necessary because there was widespread systematic discrimination based on skin color in several states in the south, but this is no longer an issue. …

Last week in Berlin, in front of a less than enthusiastic audience, President Obama declared that climate change was the global threat of our time. It seems terrorism is somewhere farther down on his list of global threats, although I am not sure where. Tens, if not hundreds, of billions of American taxpayer dollars have…

It amazes me how women today continue to be swayed by this rhetoric. We have had the power for over half a century now to decide if and when we will become pregnant. Birth control methods of all types have been available at little or no cost to us. Just recently the morning after pill…

Our country’s fiscal condition has been an illusion for quite some time now - it is getting ready to come crashing down. Problem is, all of this Quantitative Easing has just delayed the inevitable, and the resulting fall will be much worse than it would have been if we had not done any stimulus at…

These Hollywood celebrities live in a world of fantasy, much like our president. Americans must realize there is an ideology being promoted through our educational system and progressive media that hates EVERYTHING America represents to the world. While it may appear the Cold War is over, in truth it is stronger and more pervasive than…

Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of time and money.

One thing I have learned is that the law is extremely nuanced and Supreme Court decisions are very specific to the argument in front of them. In 1993 the federal government provided the voter application form which requires that the applicant swear they satisfy the citizenship requirement. I suppose the belief is that the laws…

The schools are doing too much without parental notification or approval. I live in Florida and have been following some of these incidents. This scanning of irises is purported to be for their safety. I understand we are entering a new age of identification technologies. My biggest concern is that the parents are not being…

While I may personally believe that Faith and Freedom are and should be intertwined because the freedom of all humankind is an inherent right bestowed upon us by our Creator, I would have to acknowledge those who do not profess to a faith in a higher being or power still possess the right to life…
