All the news I wish to print

There are all kinds of stories out there. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. Some will make you shrug, some will make you scream. Read any daily paper or listen to any newscast and your emotions can go from happy to sad to disbelief to fear to incredulity to horror to anger in very short order.
As we go along, there will be stories, as Paul Harvey used to say, to "wash your ears out with." There will be others that will make you feel like you need to be deloused simply by virtue of having heard or read them. Some posts will be religious, some secular and for some I expect will defy easy classification in either category. I hope you will join me in this journey and please feel free to comment along the way.
For my part I pledge not to remove any posts unless they are vulgar, libelous, threatening or otherwise in violation of the standards of civil discussion. I will not remove any post simply because I disagree with it but I will reserve the right to respond to any challenges that come my way.
God bless you and welcome to my blog.

Sharah Palin

The level of attacks against Sarah Palin is an indication of just how much she threatened the liberal elite in this country. While I am disappointed about her decision I can certainly understand why she made it. As a basicaly decent, hard working woman who strives to live by her principals she was largely unprepared for the vitriol, character assasination and slander that comes with challenging the status quo. What is hilarious is the tsk tsking by the Republican establishment, the same Republican establishment that has bee decidedly luke warm in response to the political campaign of personal destruction launched against Governor Palin almost from the moment of her announcement as Senator McCain's running mate. Of course it is possible that Sarah Palin will be back, but if she is not then teh Republican party will have lost someone who could have been a true leader that would give the party a direction and an identity, two things this rudderless party has been without for far too long.
