If the goal is to stir people up, then insulting political opponents will work just fine. But if we truly believe what we believe will improve the nation, then our goal has to be to change hearts.

OPINION: The "Lamestream" media's daily attempt to paint Joe Miller in a negative light finally hit on something of substance. And as a Miller supporter it's disappointing to read.

OPINION: A perfect example of why the Lisa Murkowskis of the world must go is her support for the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program.

The end of the year has come to an end and I don't know about you but for me it went by lightning fast.

A phone call that came into my radio show this past week reminded me that so many in our culture have been hurt so badly they now believe true love is no longer possible. I hate to sound sappy here, but they have literally given up on love.

Assemblyman Matt Claman has said he didn't see anything to suggest that former Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich was hiding something.

By now, only the obsessively partisan have yet to understand former Mayor Mark Begich deceived the public so he could push through labor union contracts he knew we couldn't afford.

The Anchorage Daily News headline read, "Begich administration union contracts stir battle in Assembly." Really? Is that the story? There's a battle brewing over the Begich-backed union contracts?

Wouldn't it be exciting to wake up one morning and read in the Anchorage Daily News that a $40- to $50 billion gas project has been approved and gas will be flowing out of Alaska by 2014?

The city of Anchorage is broke. Actually, we are more than broke.

Personally, I would have no problem hiring or renting to someone who wants to have sex with his or her own gender. But if my value system prohibited me from doing so, I would be out of luck.

Clarity is a wonderful thing. You can be plugging along in life day-by-day thinking everything is fine, when all of a sudden out of nowhere it hits you: a moment of clarity. You start seeing things differently.

Between the bizarre tweets, the incoherent "good-bye Alaska" speech, and the ensuing and constant pleading that quitting is fighting and fighting is quitting, it has become abundantly clear to anyone with any sense that Sarah Heath Palin has become "Crazy Governor Lady."

Christian bashing is in these days, but pollster Ivan Moore took it to new levels this week with his column in The Anchorage Daily News. Moore ties in French President Nicholas Sarkozy's decision to ban the wearing of the burqa in his country to Christians in Anchorage opposing Prop 64, which creates special rights for people who like to have sex with members of their own gender.
