Virginia Right!

Both the Weekly Standard (which I do not fully trust) and the Wall Street Journal (which I trust more) have called for a biometric ID card for ALL US workers to prove they have legal status.  Here’s the Weekly Standard’s quoting the WSJ: The Journal writes that “at least five of the eight senators writing [...]

A person I admire very much who I know is a strong follower of Christ asked me today:  Is Governor McDonnell a honorable man?   Is he a believer [in Christ]? I answered (after a long pause) YES, I believe the governor is a honorable man and is a believer.  I am very disappointed with the [...]

Now that I have survived another DNC, primarily by not watching any of it, I have wondered what to do about the liberty movement. One of the great things about liberty is that we all have opinions and they all count!  There’s no place for incivility.  Leave that for the Establishment pols. But Doug Wead [...]

The Hunger Games is now out on DVD and I still have not admittedly seen it.  But I have read the book and I admire the creativity of the plot. Admire it except for one thing:  No reference to God or religion.  So I’ll add my two cents as a follower of Christ. What should [...]

I thank World Magazine and Nazarene Bible College for this report about how a FB comment literally changed the world! It sounds like a Sandy Sanders novel:  Unknown follower of Christ posts his thoughts on FB and it goes viral and he then does a video and it gets 280,000 hits!  That is what happened [...]

I enjoyed the article by Michael Brown in Townhall, especially the part about Richard Dawkins. Dawkins: On the Origin of Species…Uh…With, oh, God, On the Origin of Species. There is a sub-title with respect to the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life. (Dawkins actually left out the “Natural Selection” part of the [...]

I saw this article that was in my view openly irreverent and this nicer article from the Denver Post. I admit I am a huge Tim Tebow fan.  A large part of that is his Christian faith and his underdog status in the NFL as a quarterback.  But listening to the game yesterday, I had [...]

On Sunday, I posted a response to an email requesting my opinion / analyst of a widely distributed email critical of the voting record of Senate Candidate George Allen. The post, Discussion: George Allen’s Record Examined in Detail was called a discussion for a reason. In order to foster honest debate and discussion of the [...]

In the mostly false politics in Europe where all the major parties swear their loyalty to the EU empire and its elites, there is always room for a true liberty party.  Alas some anti-EU parties are racist or xenophobic and thus unacceptable to a libertarian (not to mention a follower of Christ) butt here are [...]

Today, Franklin Graham added his voice to the protest over the potential execution of the Iranian Christian, Youssef Nadarkhani on the Billy Graham website: The international community is complicit in Iran’s outrage if our leaders remain silent. House Speaker Boehner was one of the first leaders here in the U.S. to speak out against the [...]

I wholeheartedly support and endorse the Guardian’s (UK) editorial on the death sentence of Pastor Youssef Nadarkhani. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, the lawyer who was brave enough to defend him, was himself sentenced to nine years on trumped-up charges this summer. Both these sentences are offences against natural justice. Both were appealed. The supreme court in [...]

If I told you there was a state governor with 25 years experience, led his state in economic expansion caused by the discovery of resources, had not a hint of scandal in government, and was a strong follower of Christ who even spoke on the radio on Sundays about the Bible, what would you say?  [...]

I am hearing tremendous buzz about this Soul Surfer movie.  It’s a based on a true story about the 13 year old surfing champ that loses her arm in a shark attack.  Apparently both arms are important in surfing and she is discouraged.  But Bethany Hamilton then decided to come back and apparently did so.

I regularly blog for liberty related issues.  Liberty is great and it is worthy of peaceful struggle.  Liberty is from God; “…where the Spirit of the Lord, there is liberty.”  (II Cor. 3:17)  That is why totalitarian states fear the message of Christ and persecute His people. The Declaration says that all men are created [...]

I have blogged before about Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, and their movie making skills.  (BTW, they have a new movie out this fall:  Courageous)  I am thrilled that fellow believers are going into the world but not becoming a part of it.  Many people will go to a movie for entertainment.  Most movies [...]

Stephen Bloom, fellow follower of Christ and attorney, was elected a state representative in Pennsylvania in the wonderfully numbered 199th district.  It appears he will win about 2-1 over his Democratic opponent.  I wrote about Bloom earlier this year when he won the GOP primary.  Bloom may well have a great political future and this [...]

Readers of this blog know well that Sandy’s favorite Democrat (at least among office holders) is Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina (blogger’s note and disclaimer – I am a native of the Tarheel State but I am from eastern NC); Shuler’s the former quarterback of the Redskins and Saints (another disclaimer – geaux Saints!)

By now you have heard about yesterday’s nut job who strapped a bomb on his person and took a couple of guns into the Discovery Channel and held several persons hostage for hours. If you watch the lefty wing media, here is what you missed. The man, James Lee, was a follower of Al Gore [...]

First, I want to say, I am glad to be back blogging – between vacation and a computer virus I was out for a few days! GREAT NEWS!  Move over Michael Moore!  The Tea Party is going to make a documentary:  And its better than the Michael Moore stuff we see advertised all the time! [...]
