One of the “trial balloons” of the incoming Obama administration is a proposed consolidation of NASA with US military programs for space. The ostensible reason is “national security,” but insecurity about our military’s capabilities to keep up with Chinese efforts to explore and exploit space are at the core of…
There’s been a lot of vituperation going on about whether anyone who is Roman Catholic who voted for Barack Obama is going to hell. The answer is “NO!” but, Catholic McCain voters ARE going to hell!
How do I know this? Take a look at the facts:
The Catholic Church has five “non-negotiable issues” regarding its teachings on the sanctity of life.

Today's news is that Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama. Rather than being an unusual event, Powell's endorsement of Obama is simply the continuation of a trend: Conservatives endorsing Barack Obama. George Will wrote; “Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie…
