The Spiritual Messages of Chanukah and Christmas -- and Their Downsides
Christmas and Chanukah share a spiritual message: that it is possible to bring light and hope in a world of darkness, oppression and despair. But whereas Christmas focuses on the birth of a single individual whose life and mission was itself supposed to bring liberation, Chanukah is about a national

Obama (and Biden) Have No Clue About What's Bothering Their Political Base

My thoughts and prayers go out to Barack Obama and his family. His grandmother will surely be missed. I also wish to say that while he gives so much credit to his grandmother for who he is and where he is today, I, too, must give her credit. You see, this election has touched me in a profound way because of Barack Obama (and his wife Michelle), so therefore Barack’s grandmother has indirectly affected my life as well. When he wins the election, I can only imagine how many others will have the same testimony. Madelyn Dunham has left her mark in this world, to which I must say “Thanks.” May God bless and comfort the Obama family during this trying time.

My heart is sad, by the news. Yet, Iam encouraged. The faith and the love of a loving grandmother lifting her bi-racial child to the doors of the white house, who will help mend lives and build communites through the world. I am sure she was a great woman and a rock which assist him with more than just finances. She also instilled wisdom and a undying faith which is only incured by love.
Now that’s American!
