House fires don't have to be fatal to so many
THE ISSUE: Cold weather and fire risk
Never too much focus on respect
THE ISSUE: Community of Character

Government again not telling truth
As usual the federal government is not telling us the truth once again. Obama stated in his State of the Union address that taxes had not gone up one penny on anyone making less than $250,000 per year. I now receive a fixed income retirement check and have been receiving it for over one year.
When 'the facts' aren't the facts
In the Sunday (1/31/10) T&D, Carol Fowler, chair of the S.C. Democratic Party, shared her opinions of Republicans as if her opinions were in fact, FACTS. Unfortunately, this is the type of “word plays” that create finger pointing and blame instead of seeking solutions. I would caution people to be very careful of what they read because our country is in need of ideas to solve problems instead of words promoting a particular agenda or viewpoint of righteousness. In my opinion, authors who use this type of verbiage are looking only to convince you to “buy” their product or concept in an effort to direct your behavior, your thoughts, or your beliefs.

More than a day off
A young man sits and reminisces over the celebration of King Day in the past years and realizes that he has in fact taken the importance of the day for granted.
President Obama can't do it alone
Imagine sitting in the bleachers of an Olympic track meet. The sun is blazing and runners from each team are at the starting line preparing to run the first leg of a relay race.
Who could believe it?
Well, I can die happy now. I have seen absolutely everything my mind can take in. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it myself.
Manifest destiny
The definition of “manifest” is: Obvious or apparent. The definition of “destiny” is: fate or future. Your “manifest destiny” would mean your obvious fate.
Audacious self-help
Audacious self-help is to be daring and adventurous in pursuit of personal objectives. President Barack Obama aptly cultivated an “Audacity of Hope” esprit de corps in pursuit of the U.S. presidency in 2008. His desire was a realization.
Is Obama dissatisfied with being president?
He’s in his second year as president, and he has discovered that even with all the powers of office, he can’t do everything he wants to do, such as remake America. Doing stuff is hard. In the past, prosaic work has held little appeal for Obama, and it’s prompted him to think about moving on.
In praise of moral courage
What do Bob Dole, Howard Baker, Pete Domenici, Sam Nunn, Tom Daschle and Chuck Robb have in common? They are all former senators, from both parties, who are working together on such issues as expanding health care, reducing the deficit, controlling nuclear weapons, and promoting energy independence. They prove that bipartisanship is not some impossible goal dreamed up by egghead professors and editorial writers.
Will Obama impose effective sanctions to stop Iran's nukes?
Just how seriously does the Obama administration take the threat of Iran’s nuclear program? It’s hard to tell.
