Humble... I appreciate your response. Every scintilla of your post could be true and still Obama's awful record stands alone as an unprecedented failure. Obama took a bad situation, then doubled, tripled, quadrupled our misery. There is something uniquely dreadful about Obama's time in...

Thank you. I am saddened, even alarmed, how vicious the political dialogue has become in our country. Perhaps, there was a time when good-natured barbs could be exchanged by opposing ideological camps. We Americans don't have that luxury anymore. Sands in the hour glass run low. There is...

Humble..... do you have any idea how deep and tortuous the economic loss has been for the average American family over the last four years? Are you unaware of the magnitude of foreclosed homes in this country? The 20 million who cannot find jobs? Tens of thousands of businesses wiped out...

Who is better off after 4 years of the Obama presidency? Grief counselors, food stamp administrators, auctioneers, repo men and pawn shops.

For the sake of clarification, Pike County, KY has 2 well known rivers. The Tug Fork(think Hatfield/McCoy territory) and the Russell Fork. To avoid confusion: Tug Fork = peaceful river/ wild people. Russell Fork = wild river/ peaceful people.

Oh, we have jumpers on the Russell Fork. Derring-do or foolishness? Train Trussel Jump at Pool Point - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1tYK-PfB8Q

The Russell Fork tributary is a popular whitewater stream flowing through Dickenson County, Virginia and Pike County, Kentucky. The wilds of Appalachia have many such streams, but this one is my favorite as I grew up about 10-15 miles away Elkhorn City, Kentucky. As a teenager, my friends and...

I wouldn't go so far as to call Obama a Muslim. Truth is, Obama was deeply immersed in Islamic teachings and culture during the formative years of his childhood. Further, it appears Obama has real admiration for Islam and no small amount of sympathy for its adherents. There can be no...

Obviously, our nation is in urgent need of a business-friendly president. Obama has been a one man wrecking crew against business for nearly four years. I am not convinced Obama nor his advisors embrace capitalism as the best economic model. Obama's policies appear to be rooted in a deep...

I agree Rubio was fantastic. If he can remain free of scandal, Rubio will be a first-rate presidential candidate within the next one or two election cycles.

Ron Paul doesn't get carte blanche to do as he pleases. He lost. Big time. The man is a loose cannon whose delusions of grandeur are surpassed only by those of his supporters. The GOP would be out of its collective mind to allow Ron Paul anywhere near one of their microphones. The guy can...

The media are reporting Clint Eastwood will speak at the GOP convention, tonight. I am guessing he will hardly get above a raspy whisper.

There are millions of drivers operating on American roadways without insurance. Many are uninsurable due to their own poor driving record. Consider the drunk driver who lost his license and had his auto insurance cancelled. Now, even if this hypothetical driver manages to get his license...

Common sense dictates that elderly drivers should be screened for mental and physical acuity in order to renew a driver's license. Driving a motor vehicle at the age of 100 seems outlandish. It's time to get tough with the really, really old.

The United States is predominantly a Christian nation and the moral structure of our society mostly derives from the Christian tradition. This is an undisputed fact. Law is a reflection of a society's moral values, at least in a democracy. Even something as simple as a local wet/dry...

Morality is highly subjective, rooted in religion and legislated into law on a continuous basis.

I still prefer this version by Marlana Vanhoose: 16-year-old Marlana VanHoose sings the National Anthem prior to the UK Hoops win over Mississippi Feb. 2. | vaughtsviews

The question becomes how do we as a nation do a better job of identifying a person intent on committing mass killings. I don't know the answer, but am pretty sure it rests upon a serious amount of profiling and discrimination. So many of these mass killings have commonalities. The shooters...

It is refreshing to see Scouting hold fast to their founding principles in spite of tremendous public pressure to alter their core beliefs. It must annoy Obama and like-minded social engineers to no end. Gay and lesbian groups have managed in many cities to prevent Scouting from using any...
