Against The Rush

Against The Rush

I listened in total amazement to the lengthy dissertation given by Rush Limbaugh on the Sandra Fluke testimony. It struck me as “why all this fuss?” What really caught my attention was his choice of sleazy terminology. Realizing that a man does not reach the levels of success which Limbaugh has without intelligence mixed with a cautionary sense for self preservation, this entire episode was so un-Rush like that I personally expected Rush to anticipate this venomous aftermath. So what was really going on?

Obama: America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President

Obama: America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President

When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Obama’s hostility goes beyond Catholicism, beyond Christianity, through Judaism and to the Bible itself. And we must not forget his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations. The case is clear.

Monumental Movie About a Monumental Nation

Monumental Movie About a Monumental Nation

In an age where our national debt is north of $15 TRILLION, when we are spending more than $1.5 TRILLION every year that we don’t have, when we see the Constitution trampled under the bureaucratic nightmare known as ObamaCare, when we see even religious freedom viciously attacked by those on the Left including our elected officials, then we know without a doubt that our American republic and all its blessings now hang by a thread. Can the decline and fall of the American republic be stopped and reversed? Time will tell, and it’s up to YOU to determine the answer.

Tell Hardees to Pull Sexually Provocative Ad

Tell Hardees to Pull Sexually Provocative Ad

If you’ve seen the latest TV commercial from Hardees, maybe you were as shocked as I was. When I first saw it online in a news story about it, I thought it was a spoof at first. It was so over the top, I didn’t want to believe Hardees would actually air something that explict. But it’s real, and it’s on the air.

What we need are some good old fashioned phone booths–and answers

What we need are some good old fashioned phone booths-and answers

What? No phone booths any more in South Dakota? They met their Waterloo a few years ago. What? No phone booths any more in South Dakota? They met their Waterloo a few years ago. It seems that once cellphones became “essential” for most everyone over the age of 12 (Now, it seems that age has slipped to 7 or 8.) it was—presumably-no longer necessary for people to rely on pay phones to communicate with loved ones, including mine, and other important people.

Roth IRA Recharacterization 2012: Undoing a Roth Conversion

Roth IRA Recharacterization 2012: Undoing a Roth Conversion

Nearly everyone is an excellent candidate for a Roth conversion this year. If you failed to convert money from an IRA to a Roth IRA last year, you missed an opportunity. Don’t make the same mistake this year. You can always undo part or all of a Roth conversion with what’s called a recharacterization, so you can’t convert too much.

None Dare Call It…..

None Dare Call It…..

Historians always say that hindsight is 20/20. Seeing as clearly in the present is always a more challenging assignment. What should we call leaders who embrace our enemies and offend our friends? What should we call leaders who have cast off all fiscal restraint and are spending us and our great grandchildren into oblivion? What do we call leaders who ignore the limitations of the Constitution, expand the police and detention powers of the military, and actively work to put law abiding citizens under constant surveillance?

Let Us Play the Man for our God

Let Us Play the Man for our God

On MARCH 5, 1770, a crowd protested and in the confusion British soldiers fired, killing five, one of whom was Crispus Attucks, the most famous African American who participated in the Revolution. Paul Revere’s popular engraving of the Boston Massacre fanned flames of anti-British sentiment. John Hancock, first to sign the Declaration of Independence, said on the fourth anniversary of the Boston Massacre that we should “play the man for our God.”
