Think About IT: Is a Candidate’s Church Membership Relevant?
The media probes things taught in Governor Palin’s former church, Wasilla Assembly of God, her present church, Wasilla Bible Church, and Obama’s former membership in Trinity United Church of Christ and the Reverend Wright. This probing begs for an answer to the question, “Is a candidate’s church membership or lack thereof relevant?” The answer is,…
Read MoreThink About IT: Morals Do Not Matter, What We Need Are Better Calculators
I guess the experts were right, people’s morals really don’t affect their job, I mean as long as they are really good at what they do. For example, if a surgeon is an excellent surgeon, what difference does it make if he is an immoral person, or if a lawyer wins cases, who cares what…
Read MoreThink About IT: Can Abortion Be Compared to Nazism?
Pro-lifers often draw parallels between the pro-abortion position, Nazi extermination of the Jews, and the Dred Scott vs. Sandford decision 1857, which ruled that black slaves were not fully human and therefore not protected under the U.S. Constitution. Of course, pro-abortionists gnash their teeth at such comparisons, but are they legitimate? Well, not only is…
Read MoreThink About IT: The Monkey Has Left His Cage
Those of you who know me, know that I am deeply concerned about the pervasiveness of viewing all of life through the lenses of evolution.

We are often told that a person’s personal life should not influence whether a voter believes that he or she can serve in public office. In other words, one may be a gambler, liar or a thief at home, but what one does in his personal life has nothing to do with his ability to…
Read MoreThink About IT: Concise and to the Point, I Promise!
Those of you who know me know that I am not a first draft writer–meaning that I tend to consider things ad nauseam. Consequently, I tend to refrain from blogging brief comments and only post articles that I have spent some time thinking about, which means that they are at times somewhat lengthy. Further, those…
Read MoreThink About IT: Governor Sarah Palin; Can She, Will She, Should She?
As one who cannot vote for Barack Obama because of his pro-abortion position, economic socialism, comfort in Liberation Theology, etc; and one who, while I have respected Senator McCain, has on a number of occasions strongly disagreed with his position, I have found myself actually elated about the McCain ticket. Why? What happened? Well what…
Read MoreThink About IT: Bristol Is with Child; Therefore, Abstinence Doesn’t Work. REALLY?
The pro-abortionists were ever so quick to capitalize upon the pregnancy of seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin in order to demonstrate the failure of teaching abstinence in schools, a program which the now Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sara Palin strongly advocates. As is discouragingly all too frequent, the demagogues were so quick in their attack that they…
