Limbaugh Gets One Right!

Pinch me, I must be dreaming but Rush Limbaugh actually said something that I agree with today!  I was listening to him rant about Operation Chaos and the demise of Barack Obama and he started to talk about politicians.
He stated that there will never be a politician who is not a ‘true’ politician.  What a [...]

America’s…View!

 I work nights and I always seem to wake up in time to catch… the View.  I must admit I am addicted and try not to miss it.  Once again, yesterday, Elisabeth tried to bring up Rev. Wright and Obama again on their “Hot Topics” session, once again, my girl Whoopi…. shut her down!
I can [...]

A Road Not Traveled Before…

As I caught up with the Debate last night and all of the comments in the media and especially…talk radio, I am reminded of:

All of the nic-picking on what the candidates say, who they are associated with makes for good airplay, but the fact is we are on a collision course with history!  America is [...]

Tavis Smiley quits the Tom Joyner Show!

Tom Joyner, of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, said today on his blog:

A Tale of Two Parties…

My wife and I usually like to host our own party, yet last night we were invited to go to ‘2′ parties.  The first was for a “I’m turning 50 and retiring party” and the other”, “I just graduated Barber College and it’s time to celebrate party.”  The first started at 8 PM and the [...]

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…More than a Sound Bite.

As we reflect on this day with all the coverage on Dr. King’s murder, growing up I had always heard… the sound bite of his last speech. “I have been to the mountaintop”.  I was looking for footage of that day, other than what they had been showing.  I am thankful the Lord allowed me [...]

‘Talking Honestly About Race… is easier said than done’

A beautifully written article by Betty Baye’, a Courier Journal, Louisville KY columnist.  The last paragraph is most profound and what Christians realize…

While on break in a jury pool this week, I read every word of Barack Obama’s Philadelphia unburdening on race. It’s not the best ever delivered, and his delivery didn’t knock my socks [...]
