A Hangout for Utahns & Those Interested in Utah Opinions
I have been reading a lot lately about the cause of our nation’s current economic turmoils. While searching I came across a couple very interesting articles. First of all, an article entitled, Fannie Mae Eases Credit to Aid Mortgage Lending. This is no big deal until you get to the third paragraph which reads,
Fannie Mae, […]
I had a friend send along a link to an interesting story by John Mark Reynolds entitled, “California and Thank-A-Mormon Day.” Just by the title you know it is regarding California’s Proposition 8. It is difficult to find such positive reinforcement out there in the liberal blogosphere, so thanks Mr. Reynolds! It is deeply appreciated.
Two-term U.S. Senator Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) lost his seat due to the Constitution Party drawing conservative votes away to their own party candidate. Here are the unofficial final results:
Jeff Merkley (Democrat) … 48.8%
Gordon Smith (Republican) … 45.7%
Dave Brownlow (Constitution) … 5.2%
The Constitution Party’s National Chairman, James Clymer, brazenly declared
It’s good news for the Constitution Party when […]
Being LDS and politically active I frequently field questions from colleagues about where Mormons stand on certain issues. More exact, I frequently hear remarks from these colleagues indicating “Mormons vote as a block” or “Mormons are all Republicans.” Rather than being defensive about my religious beliefs, I normally present the argument that the LDS Church endorses […]
I received an email a couple hours ago from The Heritage Foundation. Apparently the Obama campaign released a 30-second television advertisement with false information and then repeated the information on their website. The “information” is that the Obama campaign wrongly suggests The Heritage Foundation supports Obama’s tax plan and is purposefully misleading voters. An attorney from […]
I wrote on this topic a while back, but wanted to bring it up again. Notwithstanding the woes on Wall Street, the American Dollar is again finding its foothold. Sure, it might be due to the fact that worldwide economies are slipping themselves, thereby elevating America’s stance among them. Regardless, we are gaining ground. Latest reports […]
What an unexpected, yet splendid surprise to learn McCain’s running mate will be Governor Sarah Palin, of Alaska! Palin is the first woman the GOP has nominated to the presidential office and the timing I say is better late than never. She has “real” leadership experience (Commander of Alaska’s prestigious National Guard), she is a constitutionalist (she […]
I came across a website today called “Real Democrats USA.” In particular there is an article entitled “Welcome” written by “Women for Fair Politics” ranting about the unfair treatment Senator Hillary Clinton received in her run for the Democratic nomination. This is a portion of that message:
“This website was founded in the desire to reveal […]
I had the pleasure this Sunday evening of yet again visiting Valley Forge in southeast Pennsylvania. What an honor it is to stand in this spot of American history. I only had a few short minutes this trip (well, ok, a few minutes that resulted in an hour), yet I enjoyed snapping a few photos […]
Three years ago I became increasingly disatisfied with the bureacracy within the FAA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation. The bureacracy had created a vacuum in which good-hearted, efficient, and positive people within a short time became non-authoritative, submissive, negative, “yes”-people. In a nutshell I created a five-page document outlining where I believed the […]
