StillUnashamed

Male, born in 1955 right in the middle of the baby-boomers. Married to the same wonderful woman since 1980. Have two sons, 11 and 14 (as of 2007). I attended public school in Memphis, Tennessee and was graduated from Trezevant High School in 1973. Served in the U.S. Air Force 4 years and am considered a veteran of the Vietnam era but never was stationed in or near Vietnam. I have a Masters degree in Religious Education with minors in music. I am a Christian and am unashamed to express my belief and faith in Jesus Christ. I am a Baptist but membership in the Baptist church is not what makes me a Christian, my belief in Christ does. Politically I am unashamed to be called conservative. I am pro-life, pro-1st ammendment freedom of religion and speech, pro 2nd ammendment right to bear arms, etc. and believe in a limited fedreal government.

Racism, Sexism, and the Democratic primaries

Politics – In the days leading up to Pennsylvania's primary, white males ΓΆβ;¬" those knuckle-dragging, chaw-chompin', beer-swillin' bitter troglodytes ΓΆβ;¬" were suddenly the debutante's delight. Bottom line: It's hard to woo people you don't really love.

"Jesus Made Me Puke", Undercover with the Christian Right

Religion – I joined a megachurch in Texas Hill Country to get a look inside the evangelical mindset that gave the country eight years of George W. Bush. We don't get to see the batty world they live in, when the cameras are turned off and their pastors are not afraid of saying the really dumb stuff, for fear of it showing up on TV. I feared for my normal.

Clinton Won the Pennsylvania Primary, but Lost the War for the Nomination

Politics – The Pennsylvania Primary was Hillary Clinton's last chance to deliver a game changing blow to Obama's campaign for the nomination. She failed to deliver. Pennsylvania provided her with her final real opportunity to knock the wheels off the Obama campaign. She needed a crushing victory of 18% to 25% to have any real chance of altering the math...

Intelligent Design Film is Far Worse Than Stupid

Movies – Rarely has a movie subtitle so capably assessed a movie's content as does "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." There is not a shred of intelligence on display in this just released "documentary" purporting to be a careful examination of the fight over teaching creationism and evolution in America.

12 reasons 'bitter' comment is bad for Obama

Politics – In fact, this is a potential turning point for Obama's campaign - an episode that could be even more damaging than the attention to remarks by his minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, since this time the controversial words came out of his own mouth.

Dems Caught in the '100 Year War' Fib

Politics – Barack Obama has a political "problem" with national security which is kind of like saying Howard Dean has a "problem" with voice modulation. Obama, of course, has no foreign policy training or experience (not to mention no record of military service), yet he wants to have tea with the world's dictators.

Lonsberry: Obama's Denials Don't Ring True

Politics – Barack Obama's career and political success are based on a black-centered approach to life. That is his right. But to now claim some race-straddling position, bridging the gap between whites and blacks as a neutral mediator, is just not believable.
