Why Vote Trump?
Guest essay by Terry Paulson I’m tired of being asked, “How can you support Trump after all the things he has said? How can you as a Christian support such a man?” It’s ironic how many “vile names” Trump has been called for calling others similar “vile names!” I’m reminded of the quotation of Oscar […]
Perfect Storm—A Gotcha Media and the Myth of the Perfect Candidate
Guest essay by Terry Paulson One has to wonder whether the current way we pick our president has evolved to the point that it no longer serves our republic or preserves our future. We’ve dumbed down our debates and news coverage and, as a result, keep citizens uninformed. As a result, we may get the […]
Can America’s Moral Compass Be Restored?
Guest essay by Terry Paulson The Conejo Jewish Academy invited Dennis Prager to speak on the topic, “In Search of America’s Moral Compass.” Prager pointed to the overwhelming evidence that American’s moral compass has been broken.

A Christmas Reminder of Our Dual Citizenship
Guest Essay by Terry Paulson Over half of voting Americans are pleased to see Barack Obama continue for a second term, while just under 50% are wondering how voters could reelect him after such a dismal record of broken promises. As believers, we ask—Is God guiding us, punishing us, or reminding us again of what […]
Bless the Turn Around Specialists!
by Terry Paulson If you have not already summed up the Democratic talking points to usher in four more years of liberal “hope and change,” you soon will as the political attacks drone on. One that remains a liberal favorite is how Mitt Romney’s years at Bain Capital ushered in bankruptcies, cut thousands of jobs, […]
Remembering the Days after 9/11
by Terry Paulson America’s economy could have collapsed after 9/11, but instead, it rebounded. Its people could have sunk into depression, but we rose to the challenge of rebuilding and supporting those who had lost so much. Taking time to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of so many Americans is fitting; many columns and programs […]
Defending Freedom of Speech over Political Correctness
by Terry Paulson The First Amendment to our Constitution states clearly, “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech….” Our Founding Fathers embedded this enduring principle in America’s Constitution, but this critical freedom is hard to sustain in our politically correct age. For this important freedom isn’t really free; the […]
Paulson on Principles—In God We Trust
by Terry Paulson To many secular Americans, God should be zoned out of public life and expressions of faith should be limited to the home and places of worship. Certainly, our Founding Fathers supported freedom of religion—the right to believe any faith or to not believe at all. But there was no desire to diminish […]
Honoring America’s Founding Principles
by Terry Paulson Must America’s founding principles be changed to meet the challenges of our age? Are we defined by a place and a people or by the shared principles we embrace and preserve? In his farewell address, George Washington warned, “Toward the preservation of your government…it is requisite…that you resist with care the spirit […]
Give Me Individual Liberty Not Government Dependence
by Terry Paulson Dennis Prager has recently added a pearl of wisdom to his repertoire of truths— “The larger the government, the smaller the individual.” The biggest danger from President Obama’s march to bigger government rests in what this means to the grounding principles that have made America great. Will America renew its commitment to […]
Leaving the Tab for the Kids
By Terry Paulson It took nearly 150 years for Congress to pass a resolution apologizing for slavery. We should apologize now to future generations for what we’ve done and are doing to America. Though our generation’s motivation was compassionate, we’re leaving America worse. They called the World War II generation “The Greatest Generation.” They survived […]
Time to Pack Up and Leave Our Chief
By Terry Paulson Obama’s an articulate bull roaming the china shop President Barack Obama is no horse whisperer wooing America into embracing change. An articulate bull has been unleashed in America’s china shop. His sweet talk and promises of bipartisanship have given way to a radical liberal bent on transforming America into a socialistic nightmare […]
Paulson: What would we do if Ayn Rand’s novel were real? Galt wants Atlas to strike
By Terry Paulson President Barack Obama’s rapid race into socialism is creating an escalating tax revolt. With a never-ending stream of stimulus packages and new entitlement programs, the Americans who will be stuck with the bill are shouting a clear message: “Enough!” Many organizations are calling for a Tax Day Tea Party (http://taxdayteaparty.com/) on April […]
