• Should Government Get Out of The Marriage Business?

    Should Government Get Out of The Marriage Business 1

    Back when the government was functioning to protect our property and to define who belonged to whom, I was supportive of government’s record keeping. Now that the US Supreme Court is trying to turn marriage into something unknown and murky, the only point left is to use this as a registry to dole out benefits to anyone who claims to be in a relationship.

    Today I interview Jim Gwinner. Jim is the Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for the LS2 Group and has spent a considerable amount of time studying Obamacare.

    On today’s edition of Home Front, we give you the scoop on what the Supreme Court is mulling over and share some insights on what could happen to the country depending on the outcome of the King V.

  • Supreme Court Says Public Prayer is Good

    Supreme Court Says Public Prayer is Good 1

    As a member of the O’Fallon Board of Aldermen in 1994, I attended the National League of Cities Convention. In one of the meetings, the speaker asked for a show of hands if we start our meetings in our own cities with an invocation. I couldn’t raise my hand because we didn’t in O’Fallon. The speaker went on to inform us that this is a good practice and perfectly legal.

    I came home, walked into the office of my City Administrator and expressed my desire to have an invocation at the beginning of our board meetings. He laughed and told me he didn’t know whom we would get to do it.

    I went to the next police chaplains’ meeting and told them my city administrator said none of them would be interested in spending time it would take to come up to our City Hall and pray before our meetings and I needed them to help me prove him wrong. They loved the idea and stepped up to the task.
