The Primary Reason I’m Not For Obama

The Primary Reason I’m Not For Obama

Incidentally this video pretty much sums up the reason why anyone who’s truly following Christ is against Obama would have grave reservations about supporting Obama. If you really don’t, then you’re really not. That sentence was meant to be read and re-read as many times as necessary.

McCain/Palin — A Change For the Better!

McCain/Palin — A Change For the Better!

It’s been quite a while since I was actually positively excited about anything political. Today was exciting. [breitbart video] Why was it exciting? John McCain made me proud in picking a true conservative as his VP. [yahoo][reuters] A maverick conservative at that. One with a reputation for clashing against the establishment, including the Republican establishment, [...]

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

Compassion, Poverty, and Politics

The following is a discussion snippet from Compassion International’s blog. They recently had a blog post debating transparency versus marketing with respect to the best direction for the content of their blog. During the conversation I ran into Ashleigh, a 21-yr-old schoolgirl who seemed full of inexperience and strong opinions. For example, she touted environmental [...]

Iron Man – Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

Iron Man – Great Movie (with just a few gripes by me)

I just saw Iron Man at the theater. You’ll read some of my criticisms here, but all in all it was a fun and exhilarating cinematic ride. Oh yeah… minimal spoilers, so relax (in case you don’t read comic books)! The Acting This was a pure gem for Robert Downey Jr. as he masterfully filled [...]

Eliot Spitzer Goes Bye-bye

Eliot Spitzer Goes Bye-bye

Eliot Spitzer resigned his post as Governor of New York State in the wake allegations surrounding his involvement in a prostitution ring. [wikipedia - may be graphic] [AP] This scandal has really rocked New York politics, and living in Albany it’s all we’ve heard on the news this week. Here’s the short version: Spitzer serves [...]

My Earth Day 2007

My Earth Day 2007

I like the Earth… don’t get me wrong… but I don’t like Earth Day. It’s the politics. Rather than a day dedicated to the otherwise noble pursuit of conscientious living, Earth Day is an event laden in politics and alarmism. Under the guise of appropriate global stewardship schools and institutions push left-tainted propaganda that has [...]

Global Hysteria is Man-made

Global Hysteria is Man-made

This Valentine’s Day is a cold one. Despite being Wednesday, my place of employment is closed… for the first time since I can remember. I just got done snow blowing my 150ft driveway and it took me twice as long as usual because the snow was coming up over the top of my Briggs & [...]

Voting Myths and My Take on Them

Voting Myths and My Take on Them

With the general election coming up in the United States there’s plenty of chatter about it all. I found this article by Michael McDonald, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and assistant professor at George Mason University, to be quite interesting… a departure from the usual drivel. It covers five common myths about “turning [...]

Pictured here is the Genocide Memorial (Tsitsernakaberd) in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan. This blog entry will have no jokes, no fluff, and its links may lead to unsettling content… so [...]

Nuke is Green… Duh!?

Nuke is Green… Duh!?

So one of the founders of Greenpeace, an environmentalist wacko organization that does more harm than good in more ways than I could possible scratch with a solid day of typing… and will henceforth be lovingly referred to as GreenBleach, just came out of the proverbial closet in favor of nuclear power. Why? Well… because [...]
