I know when I write a post that calls Republicans out on anything, I’m going to hear from many of my Republican pro life friends who are appalled, amazed and angered by what I’ve said. I know when I write a post that speaks up for human life, freedom of religion or traditional marriage, I’ll get some of the same from the other guys. Today is a case in point. It turns out that my Republican friends are angry... Read more
According to the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the gay rights organization that brought the original lawsuit seeking the overturn of California’s Proposition 8, 131 prominent Republicans have signed an amicus curiae brief supporting gay marriage. This brief seeks to influence the United States Supreme Court in its upcoming rulings on the legal standing of marriage in the United States. The signers are mostly prominent Republicans who have held or currently hold powerful government positions either as elected officials or... Read more
This is the low point in my time in the United States Congress. I can not tell you how ashamed I am. Senator Lindsay Graham, talking about the sequester. The Republican/Democrat game of chicken went to the next round last night when Congressional stonewalling forced President Obama to make good on his threats and sign the sequester order.

Marriage Now that the president has come out... Read more

In my opinion, our supporters in Congress should have done this a year ago, before the Mandate took effect. But, later is much better than never. You can contact your Senators and... Read more
Think back ten months ago to when President Obama announced that his position on gay marriage had “evolved.” What his position had in fact evolved from was his prior position when he promised the American people that he was against gay marriage. That was in 2008 when he was working to get elected president. Ten months ago, he announced that his thinking had evolved past his earlier promise and he was now in favor of gay marriage. At that distant,... Read more
I abandoned my fellow politicians for a few days and focused my heart and mind on the historic departure of Pope Benedict XVI. I didn’t have time to watch the events unfold on tv, but I did manage to catch a few news clips on the internet. When I saw the Holy Father, hobbling to the helicopter as he left the Vatican, and then hobbling away from it at Castle Gandolfo, it touched my soul. Returning from that to... Read more
