Who do you like better: the white guy or the black guy?
John was a pretty average student in school. He worked hard to simply pass some of the math and science classes. He just wasn’t all that good at them, but pass them he did. He held down part time jobs while in school to save toward college. The savings helped him enroll in the local community college.

Read MoreA national dialogue on race
Are we capable of truly having an honest dialogue discussion on race? I wish we could, but, I have my doubts. We don’t talk the same language. We can’t hear each other talk.

Read MoreMixed feelings on Obama’s postponement of the mandates
In tacit admission of their collective incompetence, the administration is using the honor system in determining who will receive deep Obamacare discounts on the basis of need. Recall how candidate Obama promised “to root out waste and fraud” which is rampant in Medicare and Medicaid. They’ve taken the Reagan mantra of “trust, but verify,” and turned it on its head with their new “don’t verify AND trust” approach to governance.
Read MoreSecure the border first
I’m sympathetic to the plight of “illegals” who come to this country looking for a better life. If I were in their place I would probably do the same thing. I believe there should be eventual passage of this bill on immigration, but FIRST the border has to be made secure.
