Patriotism is not puffed up and self-gratifying

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In his sad effort to give the conservative side a voice, Fillmore states “My President went to the middle East and all I got was embarrassed (and this lousy T-Shirt.)”

Military parents are being sold a bill of goods

Taxing someone else’s hard work is unpatriotic

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Charity begins at home; not the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives may have the power of the purse, but it has no right to any American’s purse. Life has never been, is not, and never will be fair.…

It’s a good time to be a patriot

It’s time to stop anointing ourselves “The Best”

Dying to be Muslim and American

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Earlier this year (Feb. 3, 2008), the Post-Dispatch ran a syndicated column by Leonard Pitts entitled “Obama’s not a Muslim, but would that be such a terrible thing?” Pitts started off on a positive note, seeking to dilute an innuendo…

Some may have pride in Bush, but there is reason for those who don’t

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

   I must take exception to the information and conclusions of Ed Watkins about President George W. Bush. First, Mr. Bush’s approval ratings were highest on and after our October, 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. Most Americans saw this invasion as…
