Why, Oh Why, Do Georgians Elect Marjorie Taylor Greene?
A Brief Experiment of the Imagination Let us turn the clock back about ten or twenty years. To sometime between 2005 and 2015. Close your eyes and think back to a year you specifically recall in that period. Next, picture in your mind your Congressional Representative – the person who represents you, your district, and […]

Trump Is A Grump
The best leaders are inspirational, hopeful, even joyful about our future. They provide a pathway to prosperity and paint a vision of the future that motivates us to action. And they do it in a way that brings all of us, as Americans, together. One of my favorite Republican leaders, Ronald Reagan, led in exactly […]

Mitch McConnell Chooses a Disgraceful Retirement
Senator Mitch McConnell was first elected to the United States Senate in 1984. Accordingly, he has spent almost forty years as a Senator in Washington, D.C. Since Donald Trump’s first arrival in Washington, the two have had a contentious relationship. Donald Trump routinely criticized McConnell and personally attacked him. Trump accused him of not doing […]

Why We Must Help Ukraine
Some people have asked me why, as a life-long Republican, I believe it is so critical that the United States help Ukraine? It Is the Right Thing To Do First, we should help Ukraine because it is the right thing to do. Our country obviously was born out of a fight for freedom, independence, and […]

The Cult of Trump
As a long-term Republican, I have been increasingly dismayed the past several years because the GOP feels to me less like a political party and more like a cult, the cult of Donald Trump. To identify whether my feeling has validity, I want to consider the question more carefully by measuring Donald Trump and his […]

Is the GOP a Party of Lies? (Part II)
In my last post I reviewed examples of big Republican lies, the most current and widespread of which is ‘The Big Lie’ that Donald Trump won the last Presidential election. By definition, all Republican leaders and elected officials who repeat or endorse ‘The Big Lie’ are liars. And by lying purely for their own benefit, […]

Is the GOP a Party of Lies? (Part I)
As a lifelong Republican, I object to many things about today’s GOP. In my opinion we have abandoned too many traditional Republican positions, picked the wrong side on too many issues, and contradicted too many fundamental American values. But before we can address these objections, we first must face, address, and resolve what I believe […]

Does Anyone in the World Want to Be Russian?
In a post a couple days ago entitled, “I Want to Be Ukrainian,” I described how inspirational I have found the Ukrainian people’s response to Russia’s unwarranted, illegal attack. In contrast, does anyone in the world today want to be Russian? Does anyone want to claim a nation that illegally attacked its neighbor, and intentionally […]

Does Anyone Doubt Putin Is a Killer?
It is time for everyone to recognize Putin and his minions as the criminal enterprise they truly are. He Kills At Home I need not review here Putin’s well-documented history within Russia of harassing, imprisoning, and killing journalists, political rivals, and other opponents. Hell, if you cannot recall his long litany of slayings, he claimed […]

I Want to be Ukrainian
I never traveled to Ukraine and, until Russia’s invasion, knew little about the country or its people. Now, however, I want to be Ukrainian. My God – the courage, the strength, and the will of these people. The patriotism, the love of liberty, the self-sacrifice. We all have seen it, countless examples of it, over […]
