Unfortunately, the actions of a minority are giving the title religious a very bad name at this point in time. It does not have to be this way, especially here in America. There are . . .

The mega-wealthy have been engaging in economic warfare against the poor and the middle-class for about a decade, and very unapologetically for the last six years. What makes me nervous is that now . . .

There seems to be this notion stuck in the minds of the American populace that Mormonism is completely inconsistent with being a political liberal. Unfortunately, it seems to be held by most Mormons . . .

I expect there are quite a few Democrats who are feeling betrayed right about now. I know that I am. What is it, do we have to hit Centrist Democrats over the head with a billy club or . . .

I always envisioned Huckabee as this typically wierd Southern religious right Republican. And, probably he is -- but I have to say he was pretty funny on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. He didn't . . .

Have you noticed that virtually all of the Presidential Candidates have fired off around a half dozen articles which rarely get commented on and normally are written in the third person. Seems like . . .

From what I have read, which may well be misleading, there is a sort of cult of honor amongst the Arabs in the Middle-East where certain actions perpetrated on another are thought to reduce the person's . . .

Just as when we watch a film based on a book, we substitute the action in the film for the writing in the book (at least when the film is well done,) so do we from time to time substitute myths for religion. . . .

Despite misgivings about the political stances of one's Church family, in the end the faithful liberal Mormon is still doomed to defend one's religion and church. For a member to state that . . .

There was a time in America when conservativism included not only a distrust of big government, but also an equally strong distrust of big business. Why is it then that conservatives . . .

At some point, a liberal Mormon needs to take stock of why most members are completely oblivious to many social issues which liberals are thinking about and which they consider important. Its not . . .

I keep hearing this issue that candidates like Huckabee are rising in the polls because people view his as a "likable guy." Are we now considering electing people to the most powerful . . .
