Where public policy meets common sense

Wait, why is it always a head to head comparison of one movement against the other? Why can people not take each movement for what it appears to be? Why is it a competition? Could it be because there is an election around the corner and the politicians want to win votes? I’m going to [...]

Professor Sherman Miller is a former Republican Candidate for Lt. Governor in 1996. He is an intelligent and thoughtful man, but I think he lost it when it comes to anything to do with the TEA Party movement. This is what he posted in a public domain forum. I am shocked at the depth of [...]

I like a good give and take. Sometimes we may get a little bit rough and tumble here and that is good. It is not alright to make it personal. I have been busy the past couple of weeks with my annual training and Hurricane prep and I thank Don and Fay for stepping up and [...]
Those who have been reading for the last 5 or 6 Father’s day know a little about my father. I will give a quick sketch for the legion of new readers who came in during the O’Donnell and Urquhart campaigns. My father was the Reverend Levi Anderson. He was born in the Smyrna area and [...]

Call me a skeptic, but somehow I saw this coming. A litany of death threats and other calls for violence and harm have started to make its way into the environs of Wisconsin amidst the aftershocks of the budget repair bill that passed Wednesday night in the Wisconsin state legislature. The State Department of Justice is investigating [...]

Gov. Scott Walker must have consumed a lot of Charlie Sheen’s favorite beverage of late – ‘Tiger Blood.’ After nearly three tumultuous weeks of protests, 24/7 media coverage and national attention in and around Madison, Wisconsin, state senate Republicans decided Wednesday night to use a procedural maneuver to push through an otherwise unpassable budget repair bill amongst a [...]

I have always liked former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. He’s easy on the ears and has the calming effect of a erudite psychologist; his Southern Baptist charm and sensibilities reveal Huckabee’s small-town cache. Music stars, Hollywood moguls, John Q. Public and of course – politicos of every persuasion – open up to him. However, the [...]
The shooting of the Congresswoman and judge along with bystanders has shocked the nation. As I said before, we need a comprehensive mental health strategy in our communities which gets the players working together. This is where the focus needs to be not poltical gamesmanship. http://www.delawarepolitics.net/happy-today-it-is-a-trillion-dollar-question/ At the outset, let me say that my prayers [...]

Former House Republican leader, Tom Delay was cleared of all federal charges and the state prosecutor who shopped for a pliable grand jury after repeated turn-downs, refused Delay’s pleas for a trial. He knew Delay was not guilty and couldn’t figure out a way to convict him. Making him wait 4 years with no end [...]

Calls for civility can be a means of silencing opposition. Although the political left has continually demeaned the Tea Party movement, it has also constantly called for civility of discourse. Those who are in the Tea Party movement need to recognize and to resist both the attempts to discredit it as well as to ignore [...]

We warned the leaders that their high handed action on the Health Care Law would push the nation closer to the boiling point. They did not listen so you must. This nation must not be allowed to devolve into lawlessness. We will remember in November not threaten people. The Viet Nam peace movement grew from [...]
