Roosevelt and McClintock, My Heroes

May 21, 2010

As I’m sure you’ve all heard, Mexican President Calderon recently gave a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, in which he tried to school us about Arizonan/American immigration law. This guy’s got cajones grandes, considering his own immigration laws are stricter than ours. And, he probably likes that Mexico’s poor, not […]

Carbon-14 Dating Gets an Update

May 19, 2010

While writing about the recent purported discovery of Noah’s Ark, supposedly dated to about 4800 years old, I was reminded of an article I read several weeks ago.

May 12, 2010

As a follow-up of sorts to my last post, I have a guest post from my friend, Jamie Davis, of “Durable Faith” blog. ======= Was Jesus a Sword Toting Conspiracy Theorist?

ATF Warns Gun Dealers about "Montana Made" Law

May 9, 2010

I don’t carry a gun, nor do I live in the inner-city or out in a rural area, so firearms aren’t usually a part of my daily “scene” or concerns. Of course, the local “Shooters” store down the road reminds me that there are plenty of people in my neck of the woods that are […]

More Dr. Seuss on Obama & Congress

May 7, 2010

But would you, could you, like them with a tax? Would you, could you, with Goldman Sachs? Would you like it with Al Gore? Or with Pelosi? (She’s such a bore!) Or would you, could you, in a mob? Since most people have no job. Oh that’s right, the money’s tight. So to the press […]

The Truth about the Latest Noah’s Ark Discovery

April 30, 2010

I wasn’t really going to get into this, but… what the heck! I have to admit, every time one of these discoveries hits the news, I (figuratively) roll my eyes and shake my head. “Here we go again,” I tell myself. It’s not that I don’t believe in the veracity and accuracy of the Biblical […]

Racial Profiling and Discrimination in Arizona

April 29, 2010

Have you seen some of the signs held by those protesting the new Arizona immigration law? They say things like “We have rights!” and “We are human!” Well, nothing in the law allows for inhumane treatment of anyone.
