Super Bowl commercial should not be prejudged

I am writing to express my full support for the Tebow family ad that is expected to air during the Super Bowl. I am outraged at women groups such as N.O.W. for denouncing and condemning the 30 second ad before they even get to see it. From what I gather regarding the ad, it will discuss Pam Tebow’s courageous decision and story to have Tim. Why is the ad vilified as anti-abortion simply because it has a pro-life message? I do not believe for a moment that either Tim or his mother will be chastising others for their opposing views during the commercial. Tim Tebow has been a model student, athlete, humanitarian, and young man. Those that differ with his pro-life position should in no way call into question his integrity and passion.

Modern Tea Party is deeply flawed

I don’t understand the Tea Party. I’ll admit that I’ve spent the past day trying to research what they want on the Internet, and the only thing I can come up with is they just don’t want to pay taxes. I can understand the frustration. I hate when I go to Publix to buy a newspaper and I have to pay an extra 6 or 7 cents in sales tax. But that’s mostly because I just don’t feel like getting that much change.
