Never Has A Young Man So Loved A Young Woman As I Loved Her On That Day

by Prentice

Pulling off the thoroughfare down into the little hollow that served as the Tasty Pizza parking lot I was surprised to see that Mary Ann was already there.

If We Could Read The Secret History Of Our Enemies Hostilities Would Be Disarmed

by Prentice

There is sadness in America. That’s how it seems to me as I go through the day talking with people on the telephone, exchanging greetings with checkout clerks at the grocery store and making casual conversation with counter attendants at the post office.

Political Attack Ads: Learning From The Founding Fathers

by Prentice

Thomas Jefferson was a nasty man— an infidel of little religion and even less morality. That was largely the fact, and that’s how his secular political opponents and the Christian clergy of Philadelphia told it during the run-up to the presidential election of 1800. Pundits were in no short supply two hundred years ago, and [...]

Welfare Cell Phones: A Capitalist Con Game Disguised As A Social Welfare Program

by Prentice

What a bunch of chumps! These Tea Party libertarian folks are once again proving to be the easiest play in town. It’s embarrassing, really, to watch grown men and women make fools and asses of themselves because they have swallowed a con and haven’t the sense to realize it. Take the case of the “welfare [...]

Back To Utopia: A Call To Men And Women Of Conscience

by Prentice

“Utopia represents the kind of world we all would want to live in. In a Utopian society everyone has plenty, but no one has too much.” That’s how my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Felty, explained the concept of Utopia to 30 youngsters living in the Kentucky backwoods during the 1960s. Mrs. Felty went on to explain [...]

Joel Osteen And Prosperity Theology: A Muslim Plot To Destroy Christianity?

by Prentice

Of course! Why didn’t I see this before? I’ve figured out how the Muslims intend to do it! You know… how they intend to overthrow Christianity as the dominant American religion and replace it with radical Islam. Two words—Prosperity Theology.
