The FairTax: Answering a Critic

Aug 24, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Christian Hine, National  //  12 Comments

[This post was originally a comment response to Cheryl on Frank Hill’s post HERE.  As it turned out longer than expected, I figured I’d bring the discussion to the forefront.  I co-own the site and can do that.  🙂 ] Cheryl, Thanks for your patience.  This took longer than expected to pen.  (Well, type.  Technicalities!) […]

Reaching Out For Nothing

Aug 23, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Christian Hine, National  //  2 Comments

Sometimes you have to wonder if people actually listen to their own rhetoric.  Surely if they would just say out loud what they intend to write down, the very words would make them laugh so hysterically that putting pen to paper with such commentary would no longer be an option. An oft-used line that is […]

Saturday Night House Party

Aug 21, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Christian Hine, Music, Movies, and TV  //  No Comments

Since this is my first opportunity to add the traditional “Saturday Night House Party” video, I thought I’d mix it up a little bit genre-wise and share one of my favorite bands.  This is Finland’s Sonata Arctica singing “Paid in Full”.

His return to Charlotte, however, was met with the news that after a long battle with Alzheimer’s, his […]

Candidate With Backbone

Aug 17, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Carolinas, Christian Hine  //  No Comments

At the recent state convention of the NC Latino Coalition, in front of 1500 Hispanic immigrants and special interests promoting Amnesty, B.J. Lawson had a clear message: Assimilate. It takes some serious backbone to stand alone in a crowd and espouse a viewpoint unpopular to the vast majority in it.  Nice to see some folks […]

Is Marriage Government’s to Define?

Aug 17, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Christian Hine, National  //  6 Comments

With Monday’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision to place a stay on a trial judge’s overruling of California’s Proposition 8, which banned same sex marriage, the social media has been tweeting debates that range from the intriguing to the patently absurd.  Here, hopefully, is an intriguing one. We hear from the proponents of same-sex […]

For the Children? Not Exactly.

Aug 13, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Carolinas, Christian Hine  //  No Comments

Judy Kidd, President of the North Carolina Classroom Teachers Association, recently addressed Charlotte’s CAUTION (Common Americans United to Inspire Our Nation), with a message rather critical of the National Teachers Association (NEA). The question asked can not be any clearer. Between the two organizations, which is actually supporting teachers while simultaneously seeking practices that are in the […]

Yearning For The Brink

Jul 16, 2010   //   by Christian Hine   //   Christian Hine, National  //  No Comments

Based on America’s economy today versus where it was 18 months ago, before Obama “brought it back from the brink” – I prefer the “brink.” Now that we can actually measure the results of Obama’s economic policies, it seems perfectly clear that America has been on the wrong track and is far worse off today.
