Police In Schools

Police In Schools?

In the newly heated up debates on how best to protect our children in school, the proposal to put an armed police officer in every school certainly has caused another surge of opinions, arguments and passionate replies. I must admit that initially I...

Finding the Answer

Finding the Answer

As we sat in horror, watching the news reports and then the president speak of the horrible shooting in Newtown, Connecticut the question of “why” certainly has to be on a lot of people’s minds. There will be the usual demands for all sorts of hopef...

Remembering Gordon Sinclair

Remembering Gordon Sinclair

I started writing an Op-Ed on the Right to Work when I stumbled across a name I had forgotten, but pleasantly was reminded of. Gordon Sinclair was an interesting figure in Canadian history who’s single brightest moment may have been his broadcast on...

982

98:2

That is the reported ratio. 98% of Americans will be expected to pay significantly higher taxes so just 2% of the population doesn’t have to pay their share. Doesn’t sound very balanced to me, but then again I’m not a part of that 2%. They were pa...

Tis The Season

Tis The Season

Black Friday has come and gone and today, which might be better known as Green Monday has come and at the time of this writing, is nearly past … along with an approximate $1.5 Billion dollars in sales to promote that single greatest Anglo Saxon holid...

To What End

To What End

I've been thinking about this subject for quite some time, reminded of it by the all too rapid events shortly after 9/11 and again by watching the stories unfold concerning the now former CIA director and General Allan. There are a number of issues...

Asian Spring

Asian Spring?

Now that the election is over and all the media hype has dropped to a simple buzz … what’s next? Well, we certainly are going to be watching Congress very closely over the coming weeks to see if they will finally get their act together and come up w...

Rebuilding The Party

Rebuilding The Party

For those of us that have been Republicans our entire life, last night was yet another conformation to what many of us have known for a very long time. The party has not only lost some of it’s momentum, but more importantly, it has lost touch with t...

Reality Check

Reality Check

So, on day four of Hurricane Sandy, have you done your reality check? You know, walking around your property and wondering what you would do if suddenly your house, your cars, everything you own was gone, and probably would never be entirely replace...

225 Years Counting

225 Years & Counting

As of today it has been 225 years since the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence in what is now know as Independence Hall. As we have seen, this experiment in democracy has undergone more than a few challenges, some of which continue t...

Why Are You An American

Why Are You An American?

While maybe not as well known to younger generations, America has been and remains a melting pot of all races, religions, creeds, and diverse points of view. Over the centuries there have been times when one or more of these groups have become the f...

Aint No Free Lunch

Ain’t No Free Lunch

It would be easy to take sides on the delicate issues that teachers and administrators are wrestling with in Chicago this week and if you get right down to brass tacks, a strong argument could be made for both or either case. I think the greater iss...

The Grand Slam

The Grand Slam

If you haven’t been watching any of the conventions on TV the past few weeks, you have really missed out on some of the best entertainment available. Forgetting the subject matter, particular party, or any of that diatribe, just listening to some ol...

Changing Times

Changing Times

Over this past summer our state has experienced more incidents of children dying in closed up, over heated automobiles than any time in history. While the weather certainly is a contributing factor, the simple matter of neglect is sharply on the ris...

When Legends Die

When Legends Die

Contrary to the beliefs of many, this is not an editorial about Penn State, Joe P, or anyone else even slightly of that magnitude. It is about a giant in their field; a person that made an such an impression in that field that they are now held up a...

Gun Control Again

Gun Control, Again!

Once again we are faced with the aftermath of an insidious crime at the hands of a person that has used a semi-automatic weapon to take human life. Once again there will be pro & con on gun ownership, the 2nd amendment, and a call to “do something,...

So Long Andy

So Long Andy

Tonight I cried. Balled my eyes out, actually when I heard the news that Andy Griffith had passed away. Oh sure, he was 86 and lived a long and propitious life, but I just wasn’t ready to let him go. He was the last of my boyhood role models. Alo...

Some Good Some Bad

Some Good, Some Bad

So, now we know what was on the mind of the Supreme Court. There will be days of analysis and nobody has missed the stunning vote of the Chief Justice. If nothing more comes out of it all, it is that there are still a few minds on the court that ar...

Slipping Away

Slipping Away

He was my college roommate. His father was a revered Command Sergeant Major and Harry was just an all around good Army officer. During our college days he taught me a great deal about military customs, gorilla tactics and how to handle a long bore...

The Outrage

The Outrage

By now the news is sweeping the nation; but apparently it isn’t creating the degree of social outrage that we would expect if the circumstances were altered. We are, of course, speaking of the sentence today of a mere 30 days plus community service...
