A recent article on TownHall.com written by John Hawkins in which he outlines five signs that American society is degenerating. I agree with all five and can be all traced to one main cause. The five signs are as follows: Dependency Debt Decay in entertainment Politics Marriage When you read Hawkins' descriptions of these five, …

The Subversion of Morality Continues
I often write about the Progressive movement and how they are constantly undermining Christian beliefs. They want to be in charge, they don't want God to be in charge, they don't want a young person's parents to be in charge, they want to control your thinking, your mores. Here is a "Guide" put out by …
What’s In It For Me
In my last two posts I bemoaned the results of the presidential elections. My take on the results is that we have become a "What's in it for me" culture and we vote accordingly, for whoever will give us more, for less. We have also become a "culture of death", where many of us no …
Evil and the Light
There are many people out there today, two days after the reelection of Barack Obama, who are wondering "What's next?' While this is true for many diverse groups, it is especially true for devout Catholics. We can argue over whether the "Five non-negotiables" are really negotiable, whether Mitt Romney being a Mormon hurt him with …
Responsibility
In my last post I talked about choices. We all make choices, but that is only have the battle, because each choice has a consequence, a result. When we make bad choices, we get bad results. When we make good choices, we get good results. But what really matters is how we handle the consequences, do we …
What’s A Catholic To Do
The conventions are over, we have our candidates for President and now, "What's a Catholic to do?" If we are to call ourselves "good Catholics" how can we in good conscience choose a candidate?And it is even worse when it comes to the senate race in Massachusetts. As I wrote in this article on Examiner.com …
Killing Is Wrong
A couple of posts ago I was accused by a commentor of forcing my opinion on others because I believe that abortion should be illegal. The argument was if I supported such a law and the law passed then that would be forcing my opinion on others. Of course the commentor fails to see that the opposite must also be …
SCOTUS Ruling: Forget About It
For three days now I have been reading about Obamacare and the SCOTUS decision and whether it's good or bad, especially regarding the current fight against the HHS mandate. Let me sum it up this way: IT DOESN'T MATTER!Why? Becasue whether or not this ruling will affect the HHS mandate (personally I don't think it …
Lance, Lance, Lance, I’m So Dissapointed
I have never liked or used the term "hero" in my life. Any time you put someone on a pedestal like that there is a chance they just might fall off. Such is the case this week with Lance Armstrong. Armstrong won the Tour De France, arguably the world's premiere bicycle race more that any other racer in …
Washing Your Mouth Out With Soap No Longer Works
This week in Middleborough, Massachusetts, voters at the Town Meeting adopted a bylaw which will impose a fine on anyone using foul language in public. The bylaw was proposed by the town’s Police Chief, Bruce Gates. One has to wonder if this could be considered a violation of the First Amendment. The fine, which is …
