He also questions whether there is anything at all in that bill that would... read more »

Obama Is The "Me Too" Candidate

By Kevin Korenthal | 09/27/08

I am really surprised that I have not come across any pundits who have taken this narrative on Obama's debate performance last night. With his "John is right" and "I also have a bracelet" comments, it is clear to me that Barack Obama is not capable of original thought and instead is the "Me Too!" Candidate in this election. read more »

John McCain Puts Country First

By Kevin Korenthal | 09/24/08

Americans don't want these banks and moronic home owners bailed out on their dime. But Senator McCain notes the dire circumstances this puts our financial markets and the world markets in. It appears from at least initial reports, that Barack Obama might be more interested in continuing his momentum in the polls than solving the country's economic crisis. If you think about it, it makes sense. Why would Obama want the crisis solved when it is... read more »

Big Labor Bosses Afraid Racism Will Limit Obama Vote

By Kevin Korenthal | 09/24/08

I don't know about you, but I think Big Labor just called its members a bunch of racists. Lee told the group about a recent conversation he had with a white IBEW member from the south.He told me, "Up until now, being prejudiced has been free. You could dislike or even hate people for no other reason than the color of their skin and it wouldn't cost you anything financially--although it might cost you morally or spiritually." Then he went on to... read more »

The Next Best Thing to Anarchy Is Getting Government Off Your Back

By Kevin Korenthal | 09/10/08

By Kevin D. KorenthalIn recent months the "preaching to the choir" conversations that I have had with fellow Republicans have been more often replaced with inquiries from people I associated with in my uncontrolled youth. Old friends from my "rebel period" (High School through age 28) have begun to seek me out and engage me in conversation about politics. In the 1980's I was quite a bit the rebel that I do not appear to be today. I think it is... read more »

Hijacking Marriage for Societal Homosexual Acceptance

By Kevin Korenthal | 09/08/08

I wrote the following commentary in March 2005 in response to a trial judges decision overturning the vote by the people in 2000 to define marriage as between one man and one woman. I am reprinting it here in its entirety because of it's relevance to Prop 8 which, should it pass, will de-legitimize a California Supreme Court ruling allowing for gays to marry. I support Prop 8 for a different reason than I oppose gay... read more »
