“Drill, baby, drill?”

by Laura Bramble April 30, 2010

Flashback to the summer of 2008–Barack Obama had just won the Democratic nomination for president over Hillary Clinton. Hillary had been my choice, since Obama’s lack of political chops and “outsider” status made me wary of his ability to get the Washington establishment, particularly the entrenched Old Guard GOP, to cooperate with him and get things [...]

The Dirty Secret of America’s Coal Mining Industry

by Laura Bramble April 8, 2010

The mine disaster in West Virginia draws a bit of attention to a dirty little American secret—coal mining and the use of coal in America. Most people don’t even think about coal anymore and how widespread its use is. When most people think about non-renewable energy sources, they think about oil and maybe natural gas, [...]

I just don’t get it…

by Laura Bramble April 1, 2010

As I read the papers, blogs and articles from news sources lately, I am repeatedly struck by the degree of unrealistic thinking, hypocrisy and double standards in the comments of government leaders and, most especially, the American public. It is just me? I am such a Christian that I will give my life to defend [...]

J, I find it interesting that the governments you used as examples were totalitarian, most of which have a culturally totally different value of the meaning of an individual life. In those countries, the societies were already flawed when it came to the notion of individual rights. China, Cambodia, Russia, Cuba- they were countries that [...]

Political Blogger Laura Bramble

Since we are getting an eye and ear full of the way things can’t and shouldn’t be in this country, let’s make a bold step and take a real look at the way things ought to be instead. The United States of America is a country that exists and relies on a balance of competing [...]

Blinded by the Light…or Right

I have noticed a trend on this website that thankfully does not exist everywhere or among most private citizens. Even though this site was meant to be a place where people from all political persuasions and walks of life could come and air their views on politics and current events, it has become nothing more than a [...]

My Pick for Winner in 2012: President Barack Obama

Barack Obama ran and won on a platform of change: both a change from how things have been done during the previous eight years, as well as some fundamental changes in the way things have been done in the past. Pretty tall order, but the American people saw the need for true change and voted [...]

I ran across an article about a group called Advent Conspiracy. This group and its message of  “Worship fully, Spend less, Give more, Love all” really brings focus to the teachings of Christ and how they apply to Christmas. Yet, if you look at the message, you will find that it resonates with core beliefs held by [...]

I reprinted this in its entirety because its the only way some skeptics would even bother to read it.

Hunger and the Holidays

by Laura Bramble December 10, 2009

While most of us were enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner, the USDA released a very disturbing report. One in six of us in the United States did not have enough food in the cupboard to eat Thanksgiving dinner. One in four American children lives in a home that experiences food shortages and regularly goes to bed [...]
