Jesus Didn’t Call For Socialism

One thing I can’t help but notice about politics is that conservatives and liberals have a very different approach to Christianity.

The Best Quotes From Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden; or Life in the Woods.”

Thoreau was brilliant and Walden; Or, Life in the Woods (Dover Thrift Editions) is a classic book; so I was glad to finally get around to reading it.

The State Of The GOP Horserace Post-Florida

Last night, Mitt Romney won a convincing, yet still underwhelming victory in Florida. Even though he had the best organization, outspent Newt 5-to-1, had the media relentlessly shilling for him, and the anti-Mitt vote was split amongst 3 candidates, he still couldn’t crack 50% of the vote. So, yes, Mitt did win a significant victory […]

The […]

The Department of Homeland Security Saves America From Two British Kids On Vacation

How is it that this story, which sounds like some kind of bad Saturday Live skit, can actually be the state of national security more than a decade after 9/11? TWO pals were barred from entering the US after innocent tweets joking about “destroying America” were picked up by the country’s anti-terror cops. US special […]
