Three stories caught my attention today, and for this reason: That conservative values of individual responsibility, recognition of absolute truth, and consistency of conviction in the face of repeated attack, always resonate, always work (even if they seem to fail in the short term), and always get their reward.
Reagan repealed what is known as the [...]

I saw an article today in which Hillary Clinton said the following:
“I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together’ society. I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none.”
She was referring specifically to big, bad businesses that [...]

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery [...]

A basic tenet of Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP - the holy grail of business accounting) is that expenses are recorded when they are incurred, not necessarily when they are paid.

The year was 1844, actually.
Samuel Morse ran his first telegraph wire and operated the send lever to send the message “What hath God wrought?” I can only imagine [...]

Ever think about all the different things we argue about when we play Monopoly? If you don’t play Monopoly you have truly not yet lived: Go to the thrift store, buy a used copy, play it for three days straight in the same game, then come back and read on.
There are so many things to [...]

God deserves so much more than our begging, but He loves to hear it anyways. He makes a point of saying several times throughout the Bible how much He desires to give us what we ask for.

Ask and you will receive…
Let him ask God, not doubting…
What ever you ask in My name…

And others, but He [...]

Is it your imagination, or are bedbugs really giving you fits?
According to the Heartland Institute, there is less and less chance your imagination is playing games with you. State bans on DDT and other effective pesticides have lead to reported outbreaks in all 50 states. Bedbugs are “infesting not only hotel rooms of all price [...]
