I’m a conflicted moderate when it comes to politics. When it comes to theology, I’m a conservative. When it comes to citizenship, I’m a strict Constitutionalist, believing that silly ideals like separation of church and state and a fundamental right to privacy protect my God-given calling to be a theological conservative. This all means I [...]

Yes, my blood was boiling last night as I wrote my commentary on “The Texas Textbook Massacre” (copyright 2010, NoMoreGreed.com). Today, as I did further review, it went beyond boil to full-out, lid-popping explosion. The Texas Tribune did an extended annotation of the debate surrounding content changes in the proposed history curriculum and it’s a [...]

Just the other day I had a chat with a Christian brother and the topic quickly turned to the raging debate over health care reform. Like many folks in the religious and political right he was worried that this was just one more blatant power-grab by the liberal left, slowly chipping away at individual rights [...]

What does it say about our culture that nearly 20 minutes of morning show chat-time was devoted not to the passage of an endlessly controversial national health care overhaul, but rather to two, 5-minute-long, tightly-controlled interviews with golf-dumb’s philandering prodigal son, Tiger Woods? If Barack Obama ever had reason to ring up his local branch [...]

What a wonderful week it was for the NoMoreGreed eagle-eyed reporting team! From bimbos to bozos, it was a week full of chuckles, jaw-droppers, and head-scratchers. Let’s get right to the mayhem… Bimbos, Busts, and Boneheads There is nothing as pathetically precious as a beauty pageant contestant with skeletons in her closet. You always get [...]

My family and I sat down tonight to a civics lesson in why Barack Obama is the Prez and George Bush is a fast-fading memory. The man can just plain speak and when he does speak he speaks very plainly. He knows how to articulate tough issues in simple terms and hits all the emotional [...]

You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. There I was yesterday rushing through a breakfast of a bagel and left-over piece of my son’s birthday cake, when I heard deluded Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich liken himself to Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela.

This election cycle I avoided offering NoMoreGreed’s endorsement for any political candidates. In elections past I have offered a slate of candidates who I felt did the best job of at least forstalling the march of greed, if not represent greedlessness in total.

I was rummaging through the Gallup Poll web site today and stumbled across the following, new poll. PRINCETON, NJ — A Gallup update based on more than 21,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Poll Daily tracking in October shows that registered voters’ religious intensity continues to be a powerful predictor of their presidential vote [...]

“He really didn’t just say that, did he?” In an election in which nothing surprises me, this was a sucker punch I didn’t see coming. I rewound the YouTube clip and listened again. “…and Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation because they’re gonna think their god is bigger than you if [...]
