Consider this:
 
Sarah Palin becomes president because John McCain’s medical history catches up with him. John McCain submitted 450+ pages of medical history much of which contained information on his treatment for cancer. That plus the fact that the man is 72 years old, the presidency ages even the most healthy of individuals and it does [...]

After hearing Palin’s speech I am once again amazed that the Republican’s have nothing new to offer the American people. From Palin’s speech it is clear why McCain picked her. It wasn’t a decision about who’s most qualified to serve a heart-beat away from the presidency—it was a political decision about pleasing the far-right base [...]

When one considers the great accomplishments of America’s citizens whether it be in winning gold medals at the Olympics or being responsible for great strides in medical research no one cares what color the person’s skin was. That is as it should be.
I can’t think of many people who would turn down a critical blood [...]

My question is why must McCain use ads that do not deal with the issues. Is he too afraid to address the real issues of the campaign? Maybe he doesn’t know what they are or maybe he is so afraid of what Obama has to say that he feels that ridicule is his only hope [...]

Because of all the hubbub and media circus surrounding Senator Barack Obama and his (too) early presidential campaigning I began to investigate this man’s credentials and decided to determine for myself if he was all hype or truly had something to offer to the American people and the world.  
Since that time I have been [...]

On July 7, 2008 Barack Obama challenged the American people to vote their heart. If they were satisfied with the way the country has been run for the last eight years, under the Bush Administration, he told the citizenry that they should vote for John McCain. If they weren’t happy, however, then they had the [...]

In the 1950s Khrushchev banged a shoe on a lectern and vowed that America was going to destroy herself from the inside. Now a half a century later his prediction is on the verge of being fulfilled. The Middle Eastern countries have also sworn to destroy the United States but lacking the military power to [...]

As of this AM, June 8, 2008, gas prices in Missouri are sitting at a record $3.85 a gallon. Being an agricultural state, with only a handful of bigger cities, workers here, without specialized talents, generally make little more than minimum wage making this hike in gasoline prices that much more devastating. It has become [...]

Living in Missouri, a state that produces a large amount of the nation’s food supply, I am very much aware of the possible dangers of agricultural terrorism.
Of the 17 critical national infrastructures that have been identified by the U.S. government, agriculture is listed as one of the most vulnerable to terrorist attack. That is according [...]

Why should you honor the boycott? There are several reasons. First and foremost is that Chinese, now a major world player in the production of goods, is a Communist regime who cares nothing about human rights and whose GNP goes to enlarge their gigantic war machine. This machine could and probably will at some future [...]
