Much has been said by libertarian-leaning political activists and the most determined progressive leftists about the so-called, “separation of church and state.” They rage against anyone who factors morality into their world view — as if they fear they may be forced into a life constricted by judgmental, holier-than-thou preachers pointing a finger at them warning them of impending hell if they don’t change their | Read More »
Even Governor Jerry Brown sees the danger of trusting the federal government to uphold their end of the bargain in the Affordable Care Act: “The ultimate costs of expanding our healthcare system under the Affordable Care Act are unknown,” he told the Legislature in his January State of the State address. “Ignoring such known unknowns would be folly.” Democrats — who control both houses of | Read More »
The Senate Comedy Show is getting more bizarre by the day. I’m still bordering on speechless over the tacky, inexplicable (really) behavior coming from John McCain and Lindsey Graham. They could not look more like complete stooges right now. Sorry to those of you who think McCain’s service to the country earns him unquestionable respect and honor, but, he could not be acting more like | Read More »
In honor of all of the courageous Chinese Christians who have dedicated their lives to ending China’s One-Child policy, today’s open thread will highlight the work being done by an organization called, “All Girls Allowed.” A plea for help was posted on their website yesterday: Please join us in prayer and fasting tomorrow (March 5, 2013) as the 12th National People’s Congress convenes in Beijing. | Read More »
The California Republican Party held its convention in Sacramento over the weekend and, ironically, two of its top speakers were from Texas. Former California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore — who left the state and moved to Texas in 2011 — spoke at a banquet Friday night and Karl the “Rover” dominated the convention with speeches and workshops admonishing the beleaguered party delegates to “get off their | Read More »
I wonder what would happen if, instead of doing politics the traditional way of putting pressure on elected representatives in our own party when we want to make our voices heard, we started “crossing the aisle” and demanding that the other side listen to us, too? I mean, just because we lost a seat to a Democrat does not mean that they no longer represent | Read More »
I have always loved a challenge. It seems to be in my basic make-up to look at systems or organizations to understand how and why they function as they do, and how to improve upon them and/or expand them. Some would call it being a visionary. It’s one of the reasons I have been so fascinated with RedState. I have been here nearly two years | Read More »
Thought I would cover a few items of interest taking place in and around California lately. Part of my growing apathy with politics of late is the dismal future Republicans are facing here. But we got a brief reprieve from the suffocation of a supermajority of Dems in the state Senate when a rising star in the party suddenly resigned his Senate seat last Friday | Read More »
The Politico did a story yesterday regarding Human Events — the financially struggling conservative publication whose parent company is Eagle Publishing. According to the story, if Eagle Publishing does not find a buyer for Human Events, they may have to shut down its operations. In explaining what led to the financial struggles at Human Events, Joe Guerriero, an executive at Eagle Publishing, mentioned the emerging | Read More »
Okay, after moaning and groaning yesterday, I got so much great feedback and references to read from the commenters that I’m ready to carry on. That’s one of the reasons I keep coming to RedState — I learn so much from others. In fact, this one (courtesy of RedState member Wubbies) at Forbes hit the nail on the head and is a must read for | Read More »
