» Obama's State of the Union Lecture
By Harris Sherline | Published 01/29/2010 | From Our Writers | Unrated
         The speech was riddled with self-serving ''facts,'' many of which were either distortions or downright lies, but perhaps most of all, typical of the president’s style, it was not so much a speech as a lecture, which I found insulting.

» Obama as the Apologist-in-Chief
By Harris Sherline | Published 01/24/2010 | From Our Writers | Unrated
         Who asked Barack Obama to run around the world apologizing for America, and by implication, all Americans?  Certainly not the American people.  Nor have we seen any polls or news stories reporting that Americans asked the president to apologize on their behalf.  If anything, it’s just the opposite.

» The Tyranny of the Majority
By Harris Sherline | Published 12/24/2009 | From Our Writers | Unrated

        America’s Founders created a representative form of government, a republic, in an effort to guard against the possibility of a small majority gaining control and dictating their own terms of governance.  Unfortunately, however, we seem to have morphed into the idea that a simple majority should decide everything for everyone.  Are you convinced that our “democracy” is working the way you think it should?

By Harris Sherline | Published 12/21/2009 | From Our Writers | Unrated

By Harris Sherline | Published 12/5/2009 | From Our Writers | Unrated
       Those firms that succumb to the PC version of the “Holiday” may well find that some of their customers will eventually see the situation as I do and take their business elsewhere--to a store or firm that acknowledges that Christmas is Christmas, Christ included.
