A reader made a comment on the About page of this site: Honestly, religion and politics should never mix. Government is there to provide services for the people not to convert people to Christianity. I hope politicians will never be voted into office based on their faith rather than their morals or goals. Here is [...]]]></description>

I just read this article at CNN.com: My daughter and her partner were married in 2004 and I couldn’t ask for a better spouse for my daughter, or daughter-in-law for me. However, my attitude traveling to the wedding was far different from my attitude on the trip home. God attends gay weddings. Who knew? People [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know whether or not Herman Cain has ever been involved with &#8220;sexual harassment.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know if he had an affair with someone other than his wife. I do know that neither charge has been proven. I haven&#8217;t even seen compelling or interesting evidence. If indeed this has been a &#8220;political assassination&#8221; it [...]]]></description>

Republicans (and others) would like to see Barack Obama be a one term President. Will this happen? I don&#8217;t know. Maybe. Hopefully. But I do NOT feel like I can depend on American voters to throw him out based on principle. It is really a matter of luck. If people feel that the economy is [...]]]></description>

What would you say if a news story broke that involved a Mexican commando unit raiding a house in Oklahoma somewhere and killing some high profile enemies of Mexico? You can be assured that Americans would be &#8220;up in arms&#8221; about this. We would be furious. I could write about a number of reasons why [...]]]></description>

Passion erupted in America in opposition to ObamaCare. It appears that this passion is waning. From WND.com: (The WND article relies on a Rasmussen Reports survey.) Outrage over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called &#8220;Obamacare,&#8221; gave rise the tea-party movement and fueled a historic cleaning out of Congress in 2010, but new [...]]]></description>

From Breakpoint.org: An obvious parallel to the upcoming trial in Guantanamo is the Nuremburg trial conducted after the defeat of the Third Reich. There, while the whole world watched, the Allies conducted a very dignified and responsible trial of the Nazi war criminals.
