Our politicians are asking us to allow offshore and wildlife refuge drilling to increase the amount of oil available and lower gas prices. These requests make a rational mind believe we must have run out of land to develop for oil. Nothing could be further from the truth. ...more

Likely time channel thinking is more pervasive and indelible than any other category of channel thinking. How long would it take to build a three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two-car garage, cement block stucco house, move-in ready? Once each year contractors in Broward County would build such a house in one day. The house was then sold with the proceeds going to charity. After World War I, the war to end all wars, the United States military was essentially dissolved. When World War II demanded that we re-arm promptly, a decade of re-arming was done within a year. ...more

In keeping with his "messiah" image, Barack Obama might have been more at home in Bethlehem, Pa., than in Unity, N.H., when he and his "former" nemesis, Hillary Clinton, opened their new act on the road to mixed reviews. ...more

Every politician is a person who can tell you what you want to hear and then do as he pleases when he gets into office. This has been going on since time began, and unless a miracle happens it's going to be the same in this election. ...more

Every politician is a person who can tell you what you want to hear and then do as he pleases when he gets into office. This has been going on since time began, and unless a miracle happens it's going to be the same in this election. Sen. Barack Obama says he's for change and has a lot of very young people that will tell you that this is the truth. However, I don't take much stock in 18-20-year-olds who haven't been out of high school long enough to start supporting themselves, let alone think that they have the abilities to run this country. Obama's only experience is in the state Senate and nowhere else that I can see, and it's obvious that the majority of black Americans support him because he is black. The highest percentage of black voters in history have turned out so there is, in my opinion, a race issue here, whether we like it or not. ...more

Double speaking, which used to be called talking out of both sides of one's mouth, is never a desirable quality to witness in anyone. I am especially troubled when I hear it so blatantly from someone representing me in Congress. Congressman Tim Mahoney recently returned from visiting our troops and complimented them on their high morale and sense of purpose. Then he said it is time to put partisanship aside regarding our troops and make sure they get everything they need. ...more
