Answer the race question on your 2010 census truthfully

In the next week or so Americans will be receiving their 2010 census.  This process is mandated by our Constitution so as to provide an adequate count of the number of people living in this great nation. 
It has been pointed out that fully one-quarter of the form is devoted to questions of race and ethnicity.  [...]


Latest Rasmussen polls provide insight into Colorado voters’ thinking

Gauging what is going on in Colorado voters’ minds can be a tough one.  In a state with an evenly split electorate between Democrats, Republicans and independents, trying to get voters to agree is a lot like herding cats – not an easy task for sure.
The latest Rasmussen poll provides some interesting insights into what [...]


Catholic school in Boulder under fire for holding true to its beliefs

Much has been written in the past week about Sacred Heart of Jesus in Boulder and its decision to not allow the child of lesbian guardians to attend.  Unfortunately, for staying true to Catholic teachings, the school is being condemned and that is a shame. 
Catholic teachings – and for that matter the Bible itself – [...]


We The People – A letter to President Obama

I really do not like re-posting things I find elsewhere or relying on YouTube videos but every now and then something comes along that is just so good it must be shared.  Such is the case with a new video simply titled “We The People” that came out recently. 
It is an extraordinary work and the [...]


Pelosi: Health care bill is bipartisan without bipartisan votes

Nancy Pelosi and her follow Californian Barbara Boxer are sometimes just too easy to pick at.  Both of them provide an endless array of soundbites that are absolutely comical.  Pelosi provided a great one this past Sunday when she proclaimed on CNN, “A bill can be bipartisan even though the votes might not be bipartisan.”  
Huh?


Climategate scientist admits problems with manmade climate change theory

For years we have been told the ‘science is settled’ and the ‘consensus’ of the scientific community is solid – man is the primary driver of climate change on the earth.  Skeptics have been raising legitimate concerns about the theory and now one of the world’s foremost climate scientists and biggest purveyors of the manmade [...]


Start each day with a positive outlook

Some humor today that came my way via e-mail. 

Create a new folder on your computer.
Name it “Barack Obama.”
Send it to the Recycle Bin.
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Your PC will ask you: “Do you really want to get rid of Barack Obama?”
Firmly Click “Yes”

Feel better???
GOOD! – Tomorrow we’ll do Nancy Pelosi.


Just how do you honor heroic Navy Corpsmen?

Maybe you could start by pronouncing their title correctly, Mr. President.  I guess that is one of the hazards of being unable to speak without the help of a teleprompter.

If Canada’s health care is so great, why does a top official come here for surgery?

Canada’s socialized health care system has been held up as a model for the United States and President Obama’s own plan.  Pushers of Obamacare insist that the Canadian system and those of European nations are ones which the U.S. should emulate.
This is of course baffling considering we have better cancer survival rates, better access to [...]


Do Republicans have a bigger problem than the Tea Party?

As much as the old guard in the GOP would like to dismiss it, the Tea Party movement is real and is gaining strength.  These conservative voters have shown that they aren’t beholden to the Republican Party and won’t back down ‘for the greater good’ as many think they should.  The Republicans are quickly coming [...]
