“Disturbing” is the understatement of this Happy Easter. Here are a few excerpts that really jumped out at me as I read the article (see below): He was naked, and the position he was in — his hands bound behind his back and raised higher than his shoulders, forcing him to bend forward with his …

You bastards! It is clear after Obama’s speech that there is nothing he could possibly do to keep you from incessantly harping on his relationship with his pastor. Why is it that not a single intrepid reporter has managed to garner an interview with the controversial Christian? Are you afraid you may have to deal …

Andy, Maybe I’m naive, but the “New Age” stuff doesn’t alarm me all that much. It seems to be just another of those sleazy red flags that get waved to demonize a candidate. This is just my take on things, but all this alarm over religions and philosophies and lifestyles that compete with organized Christianity …

I heard someone this morning (in our men’s group) mention that he hoped to be on the first trip …

I like Barak more for what his election would say to the world and about us as Americans, than for his positions or his personality. I think Arun Ghandi stated something similar. I have seen Mrs. Bill Clinton (really, that’s her only credential, isn’t it?) operate for many years, and am unimpressed. The victimized female …

Gov. Huckabee, Apparently, you said something about Iranians facing the gates of Hell during your debate last night. I know you were being picked on last night, but when you fall into the trap of feeling like you have to emote the same neocon bravado as the establishment candidates, it reminds me that your foreign policy …
