Quote of the day.
Obama laughs off the charge of socialist behavior — and to be fair, socialism isn’t the precise term to affix to his ideas. It’s more like Robin Hood economics. On a recent campaign stop, Obama joked that, by the end of the week, McCain would be accusing him “of being [...]

Life is full of risk. No matter how hard we try, we can’t eliminate that risk. Nor should we. Risk leads directly to rewards. Not all of the time. Sometimes risk leads to failure. But those failures teach us what we need to know in order to reach the rewards. More than that, it’s impossible [...]

Seriously?
Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday yanked their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a prosecutor that temporary residents can’t vote in the battleground state.
A dozen staffers - including Obama Ohio spokeswoman Olivia Alair and James Cadogan, who recently joined Team Obama - signed [...]

Lately I’ve been thinking about how Christians should respond to political outcomes. I’m a Libertarian. I believe that government governs best which governs least.

(Via McCain seeks special ‘fair use’ copyright rules for VIPs.)
John McCain’s presidential [...]

I was planning to write a rebuttal to that charge. Then James and Adam stepped in [...]

In case it hasn’t been obvious from some of my recent posts, I don’t like Senator Obama. Why? Well, aside from eloquent, soaring rhetoric, I haven’t seen much about him to like. (The same is true of Senator McCain, but that’s a separate series.)
While I haven’t seen much to like, I have seen several things [...]

Barack Obama didn’t do so well at Pastor Rick Warren’s forum Saturday night. How did the Obama campaign react? By whining and claiming that somebody else cheated:
I’ve been looking into all this buzz that McCain somehow cheated — that he wasn’t in a “cone of silence” — during Barack Obama’s half of the [...]
Obama fans think that McCain’s “The One” ad tries to link Obama to the anti-Christ. I think they’ve gone completely batty.
The ad has also generated criticism from Democrats and religious scholars who see a hidden message linking Sen. Obama to the apocalyptic Biblical figure of the antichrist.
The spot, called [...]
