Do you feel society has shifted from coexistence to confrontation as personal or cultural values became laws and regulations? You may have felt attacked or excluded as ideological factions used the legal system or pressure campaigns to force compliance with policies that conflicted with your religious beliefs. Or you watch television programs and movies and don’t see your values represented.

Faith was once part of everyday life. People didn’t analyze it as much as they lived it. Belief in God—whether you were Muslim, Jewish, Latter-day Saints, Evangelical, or Catholic—was expected. Regular attendance at religious services was part of the weekly routine. In our not-too-recent past, mentioning faith activities when recounting your weekend was considered normal, or turning to faith as a source of strength in life’s challenges.

OPINION: Growing up, I was enthralled by films that wove Biblical themes into their storylines — “Quo Vadis,” “The Ten Commandments,” and “The Robe.” Charlton Heston, as Moses, became almost a mythic figure in our household, embodying the epic storytelling that Hollywood understood as part of the American psyche. These stories weren’t just entertainment; they provided heroes, inspiration, and a sense of shared cultural values.

A fundamental principle that fueled the American Revolution was “no taxation without representation.” Similarly, the French Revolution’s rallying cry of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” demanded equal rights, including a fair tax system that served the people, not just the elite. Today, we often lose sight of the fact that governments are sustained by the money they collect from us.

OPINION: October 7 is not just another date on the calendar — it serves as a reminder of shattered lives and stolen futures. It is a day that will forever haunt the families of those who were killed and ruthlessly taken hostage. It is not only a time to remember the brutal atrocities committed but also a moral imperative to bring the remaining hostages home. On this day in 2023, families in the Kibbutzim were celebrating a Jewish holiday. Girls played with dolls, and boys with balls.

Our nation was founded on the principle of “no taxation without representation,” yet today, you and I continue to fund a government that increasingly dictates what we can’t do while burdening us with inefficiencies and unnecessary costs. This situation must change. The time has come for a comprehensive turnaround in how the government operates.

OPINION: In an era where symbols drive cultural and political debates, the American flag remains a powerful emblem of liberty and freedom, embodying core American values. This symbolism is vividly displayed in Texas, where flags line the road to honor the sacrifices of first responders and military personnel, during the careful folding of the flag at a military funeral, and at the Olympics, when American athletes stand proud as the flag is raised.

OPINION: The crisis of abducted Ukrainian children is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. While some U.S. political leaders frame this war as a territorial dispute necessitating a negotiated settlement, the unwavering resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people stem from a more harrowing reality: the systematic abduction and indoctrination of their children by Russian forces.
