Is America quitting the world stage?

Is America quitting the world stage?
“Winners never quit, and quitters never win,” spoken by the great Green Bay Packers coach, Vince Lombardi, was stenciled on the wall of our High School locker room. At the time I thought it was just something the coaches had painted on the walls to make us feel guilty about our abysmal win/loss records. We... Read more »

What the Democrats have that was attractive to this ex-GOP

What the Democrats have that was attractive to this ex-GOP
I recently wrote a series of articles about my leaving the GOP and joining the Democratic Party.  One of the articles became a viral post on social media.  “44 Years a Republican, 1 Year an Independent, today I’m joining the Democratic Party” became a sort of anthem for many who have become disgusted with the...

How embarrassing was President Trump’s speech?

How embarrassing was President Trump’s speech?
Yesterday, I wrote a piece asking if President Trump would embarrass himself and the nation, which you can read by clicking here.  I have to tell you, I was spellbound by the first two minutes.  His opening with a reference to Black History Month without referencing Dr. Ben Carson was well written and well delivered. ...

Why this Ex-GOP is voting for Hillary

Why this Ex-GOP is voting for Hillary
I’ve never voted for a Democrat for President. I’ve been voting for 44 years and have always voted for the GOP nominee. Many Republicans have announced they will vote for Hillary, as a protest vote against Donald Trump’s nomination. The list of protest voters is long and impressive and includes a former Republican President, First... Read more »

Does Trump want to quit?

Does Trump want to quit?
It’s a legitimate question. Is the bloom off the rose of the idea of being President? Maybe having music played when you walk into the room, and getting a really cool 747 to fly around in and not have to pay for the fuel yourself has lost its appeal to The Donald? His behavior would... Read more »

The myth that Trump would be good for the economy

The myth that Trump would be good for the economy
Donald Trump’s much-anticipated speech on the economy is set for today. Much anticipated by whom? I sure don’t anticipate it. The only thing I dread more than hearing his speech is dreading the notion he would ever be in a position to put his inane ideas to work. There is a myth among Republicans that... Read more »

In touch with my inner Reagan

In touch with my inner Reagan
Moving away from one’s political party after 42 years of voting straight Republican is not an easy thing to do. Being right is not always easy. Ronald Reagan taught me that lesson, and it is a good lesson for today. Ronald Reagan inspired me, and millions of young Americans early on our life journeys. I... Read more »

The GOP Platform pits one American against another

The GOP Platform pits one American against another
Once upon a time, the political party conventions would get together and forge a platform which was their vision for America. This was before the days of focus groups, overnight polling, and near-instant communication, the platforms were the foundation, the sales documents for the party for every office from President down to the School Board....
