Writer James Delingpole on Telegraph.co.uk notices similarities between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President Barack Obama. James is not a fan of either. Among other similarities he finds these:

“And both do (or did) the things dodgy political leaders always do when the going gets tough at home and their domestic audience finally wises up to how totally useless they are: they hop on the plane and pose as international statesmen instead.”

Dear editor,
Too much versus not enough.

The citizens of this nation/community are constantly being bombarded by many yes’s and no’s. Some are looking at the way things are and asking why, while others are looking at the way they never were and asking why not. One of the reasons for the uprising is that so few have so much and so many have so little. We can have everything in life we want if our Savior chooses to bless us with it. Jesus Christ, who is our Lord and Savior, will always have the last say so. After all, He is the one who knows the end from the beginning. When was the last time you asked Jesus, “Lord, whatever you are doing in this season please don’t do it without me?” Have you ever said, “Lord, whatever I start out to do each day, together you and I can accomplish it.” [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
In the January 12 issue of The Dodge County News, I was incorrectly cited as making a false statement at the recent county commissioner’s meeting. The excerpt from the article was printed as follows: [Full Story »]

Margaret Thatcher is on the cover of Newsweek, or -- the next best thing -- Meryl Streep is on the cover as the former British prime minister in a new biopic.

Thatcher is a rich theme. If the types who expound on such things didn’t so hate her politics, she’d launch a thousand dissertations on those inexhaustible academic themes of class and gender. As the daughter of a grocer, she was looked down upon as the personification of, in the words of one highfalutin critic, “the worst of the lower-middle-class.” As a woman in a man’s world, she was venomously attacked by her opponents as a “bitch” or “the bag.” [Full Story »]

Retiring U.S. Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, hyped as a “conservative” Democrat, only voted conservative 47.01 percent of the time for his ten-plus year career. Compare this to Nebraska’s other Senator, Republican Mike Johanns, who scored 87.50 percent conservative by the American Conservative Union (conservative.org). Never believe the media’s description of conservative. [Full Story »]

A haze of ugliness hung over President Barack Obama last month in Osawatomie, Kan., where he delivered a speech as malodorous as an Occupy Wall Street encampment and about as thoughtful. The president needs a campaign theme to patch him over for the next year. He settled on all but blaming the rich for trashing the American Dream. Income inequality, he said, “gives lie to the promise that’s at the very heart of America.” [Full Story »]

Financial writer Jeff Barwick, a Ron Paul supporter, on the media treatment of Dr. Paul: “If you can’t ignore, discredit.” That’s what they are doing.

Ron Paul’s toll-free congressional update number is 1-888-322-1414.

Another libertarian conservative-oriented Republican candidate for president, Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico (2 four-year terms) is also being ignored by the media. Maybe they do not want you to know too much about him. Gary Johnson has an interesting life story. You should check him out. Gary was elected and reelected easily as a Republican in a state with a 2 to 1 Democrat registration. Term limits prevented him from running for a third term. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Do I matter? A world of uncertainty.

Although the birth of the Christ child has come and gone, Jesus is still with us. The way to have a great Christmas or a great day is to make Christ first, everyone second and you last. We must thank Christ every day for his most precious gift – life. Just what is Christmas? [Full Story »]
