A Message to Fathers: Keeping Your Daugthers Off the Pole
(A Repost) Dads. You may not have noticed but your daughter just left the house wearing tight, stretchy pants with the word "Juicy" emblazoned across her backside. And yes. She bought them with the money you gave her for school lunches, allowance or back to school clothes. Congratulations. You are now the official sponsor of your teenage daughter's butt. So what are your options? You can either: A) ask her to change and be ready to stand your ground or B) ignore, and hope that every red blooded male she walks in front of doesn't try to read her nether region. If you decide to give this one a pass, because the word itself seems benign or not sexual in nature, think about the lesson you're teaching your little girl. She's … [Read More...]
What Conservatives and Liberals Can Agree On
Listen, I don't think we need to be mortal enemies. I've seen enough mud slinging, name calling nonsense to last a lifetime. It bothers me to see how blatantly partisan we've become as a country and there no longer seems to be any actionable middle ground. Only a my-way-or-the-highway rhetoric, especially-if not primarily-from those in power in Washington. We're a political mess being torn apart at the seams by a power struggle that starts at the top. It doesn't have to be this way and if you really look at the fabric of your community, you are a witness every day to the benefits of working side by side with people who have a difference of opinion or live the American Dream their own way. We are allowing Washington to separate … [Read More...]

Gosnell and America’s Holocaust
There is a quote that says: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. And in an effort to remember the truly awful, the incomprehensible worst of humanity, I often pour myself into Holocaust memoirs or biographies because I don't want to forget. Although I have no ties to the era, the war or the people, the plain evilness of it all haunts me. It is almost beyond my comprehension to understand the apathy of an entire country who collectively turned a blind eye to the humiliation, brutality and murder of neighbors, friends and coworkers. I have seen the documentaries, the footage of skeletal survivors and piled high corpses. Men, women and children just like my family that did nothing but become the abject focus of a … [Read More...]
The Boston Bombing: Talking to Kids About Terrorism
I don't think any of us thought we would be safe again after 9/11. The events were too horrific, too widespread and made too much of a lasting impression on our psyche as Americans. But still, after yesterday's events in Boston, I am shaken from the suddenness of those two explosions and I am confounded by the way life can change depending on which side of a minute you're on. I didn't have children when the towers fell and gaping holes were left in both the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. I was still two years away from having our first child, so I didn't have to explain the events of that day to my children until many years later. It wasn't until this past December, when twenty innocent children and six teachers were … [Read More...]

Allowing Boys in the Girls Bathroom and Vice Versa
Are you kidding me? I understand Massachusetts wanting to make school a safe and comfortable learning environment for every student but the new policy detailed in this article by Todd Starnes is unreal. Absolutely unreal. I know I shouldn’t have to point out the obvious, but a penis means you are a boy and a vagina means [...]

America: Democracy or Republic?
