Hendersonville City Council supports Marxism but refuses to embrace the U.S. Constitution and American values

Martin Luther King envisioned a day when we were judged by the quality of our character, not by what group we belonged to. With the new religion of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) we are taking a step back from his vision.

DEI is rooted in Cultural Marxism and is nothing more than identity politics meant to divide us into groups, and pit one group against another in order to sow chaos and discord. It attempts to elevate one group over another, promotes victimhood, and now permeates society. The City Council of Hendersonville has embraced it fully.

Is Paying More Taxes for Social Programs a Moral Imperative for a Christian?

Many who believe we should increase taxes and spend more for social programs sometimes accuse Christian’s who resist that philosophy of being “not Christian-like”. Are they right? Is there a clear moral imperative for Christians to support any effort to spend endlessly more money to fight poverty?

I’m Not Fearful of the Pandemic – But Am Terrified of the Aftermath

A tiny virus known as COVID-19 that you cannot see has us cowering in our homes. It has shut down the world’s economy unleashing untold misery. For the first time in history because of our mobility and instant communications, we are witnessing the first truly global shared human experience. You cannot ignore it. Not in today’s media environment. Don’t get me wrong. It is a serious issue and the impact will last some time.

Is Representative Larry Pittman (NC House District 83) Being Truthful About Convention of States? You Be the Judge.

The Convention of States (COS) is a non-partisan effort founded on the basic premise that the federal government is out of control, and career politicians of both parties are responsible. They are drunk on power and spending money. Look no further than the $23.2 trillion in debt and the fact that for the first time since WWII, our debt to GDP ratio is over 100%.

The Left’s Lunacy on Full Display – In DC and Brevard, NC on July 4th

As we celebrated the 4^th of July, and what this country stands for, those of us who love this country look on dumbfounded when the likes of Colin Kaepernick rails against the Betsy Ross flag as if it was a symbol of white supremacy, or quotes Frederick Douglas out of context to explain how the 4^th of July is not a holiday for black Americans today. Or when flags are burned in front of the White House because someone does not like Donald Trump. Or how the spoiled soccer player Megan Rapinoe politicizes the World Cup, and then tries to explain she is “uniquely and very deeply American”…right, we believe that.

Lindsey Graham Launches His Official Campaign for a Fourth Senate Term – And Why This Means You Should Support the Convention of States Project

Lately, conservative political pundits have been praising Lindsey Graham of South Carolina for his renewed support of Trump’s policies. The most obvious example was his speech during the Kavanaugh hearings where he, rightly so, called out the Democrat’s for their politicizing of the hearings. Of course, that was exactly why he did what he did: politics.

What Do Florence, Global Warming, “Truth” and Social Media Have in Common?

Like many families, some of my close relatives and I are on opposite sides of political debates. Our family, however, prides itself on our ability to always remember that while we might disagree, we can do so in a civil way, refraining from personal attacks that dominates social media and the culture at large. We are still family. I still love those in my family who I disagree with politically. 

The Passing of John McCain: A Different Perspective

This past week’s news cycle was dominated by the passing of Senator John McCain, and the various public events surrounding his death. Both in Arizona, then in Washington, DC and concluding with his burial at the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

The Gun Debate: Why Australian’s Who Lecture Us and Those Who Believe Them are Wrong

Those who would ban all firearms in the U.S. point to Australia as a success story. Why not just do what they did after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre? After all, they have not had a mass shooting since. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? 

The Dark Side of Tax Reform – And a Solution

The tax reform bill passed before Christmas will be good for the economy and jobs. In a recent article, I defended the bill against those who try and paint it as a “tax break for rich corporations”. But there is a dark side. It will add to the debt to the tune of about $1T over the next decade.
