You've read the quote. You've heard the rumors. Now, hear the audio of Mark Warner calling the NRA, people of faith, home schoolers and people who believe in the right to life "a threat to what it means to be an American." When this issue first surfaced in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, then...

Part 2 from my nature walk on Sunday 05 Oct 08. Pictures 10 and 11 were the most exciting find.
I believe that I am somewhat out of shape for the hills were challenging. Nevertheless, the fresh forest air was refreshing for both of us.
This picture is dedicated to Joshua Benjamin Jeyaratnam, JBJ , a selfless, courageous and above all a tenatious 'fighter', struggling for the cause of social justice and democracy. This picture is suppose to help to remind all of his 'fiighting' spirit which will always be present for eternity.
I mentioned in a previous blog that America, contrary to popular belief, is a secular nation. It is not a Chrstian nation, and it was never intended to be. The Christian presence is obviously strong in this country, but majority opinion hardly constitutes a revision of the philosophies this country...
This is one of those blogs where my thoughts are all topsy-turvy, popping around all over the place sort of like an old-fashioned popcorn machine, and I am going to attempt to gather them all together and explain something. (This is actually my idea of fun on a lazy, rainy Saturday morning.) It all...
If you don't already know There is a hoax going on, on Vox. Someone is impersonating Sarah Palin. Isn't that Against the law? Well just wanted to spread the word. I really don't think it is funny at all. We should make this person pay.
The next leader of our military? I think not!
I recieved this in an email and I couldn't help but post it. I know this could never work, but it's nice to dream. The only problem I see with this plan is to many people would quit there jobs. But I think it just goes to show how crooked the goverment can be. God Bless Michael Now, here is an idea...
by Chuck Holton These men suffer and die to ensure our freedom and give it to others. Honor their sacrifices by voting for those who will not seek to invalidate their sacrifice by deserting the fight while we are winning. Lance Corporal Burt Mitchell in Garmsir, Helmand Province Afghanistan With the...

The American Library Association's website has some information about Banned Books Week. :) Here is the Official Banned Books Week Website. Here is an awesome pathfinder for banned books.

It blows my mind that Obama can just out right lie about his views and his record on the 2nd Amendment and then just turn around when he doesn't like what the NRA says about him and trample all over the right to free speech! I'm sorry I just don't like this guy! I am afriad if this guy does get in...
A major criticism of libertarian thought is that it is all doom and gloom and that it cannot accept compromise of any sort. That it is an all or nothing mantra espoused by a dank and less than cheerful minority. Now I can agree that indeed there are those within Libertarian circles that seem to be...
This upcoming weekend is the 1-year anniversary from the weekend that I moved out of our house into my own place. No wonder I have been feeling out of sorts and melancholy lately. Can't believe how fast time flies. It's been a year already? It's been like lightning fast, and maybe it's because since...
Since I identify with the people who fall into Barrack Obama's elitist description about people of faith who keep firearms I'm not very happy with Barrack Obama's recent remarks. He said something to the effect that us rednecks cling to our guns and our religion when we get frustrated and I would...
I have to make two comments or my liver will burst. JOHN MCCAIN - I would choose a leader who will talk with ANYONE to avoid conflict than someone who sets up a list of conditions before they even enter the room. You profess to be a Christian - did God set preconditions on anyone being in His...
Since the dawn of the mists of time, you have had one great soul urge, and that is to reunite with the spiritual source from which you came. Along the way, you have realized that this means reaching out in spiritual service to mankind. Along the way, you have sensed that this giving of spiritual...
If we truly want fulfilled and purposeful lives, why do we settle fo a life of consumer conformity marked by the pursuit of substitute gratifications such as wealth, the perfect body, celebrity and status?
