THE THREAT OF SHARIA LAW
Some folks think Sharia Law is just part of religious dogma, similar to orthodox Jewish and strict fundamentalist Christian dogma. Think again. This article is for those who really don’t understand what Sharia is all about, and why all Americans should be better...
SOURCE OF WORLD HATRED: RADICAL ISLAM
Someone recetly sent me an article which basically stated that any claim of Islamic threats or growth in Europe is greatly exaggerated. It’s me, they say, who is misguided. So, instead of writing a long blog, and knowing that a picture is worth a thousand words, I...
THE MYSTERIOUS PRESIDENT
For someone who claims the most transparent presidency in history, Mr. Obama remains the ultimate enigma. Some folks will ask, “Why don’t you leave it alone?” Answer: Because he is the President of the United States to whom we have entrusted the security of our nation...
OPPOSING OPEN GAYS IN THE MILITARY

Frankly Speaking
Frank welcomes intelligent and insightful responses to commentary, especially from folks with contrary points of view and other insights to offer. Please keep comments pertinent to the title issue. Though some issues may draw passionate reactions, Frank insists on maintaining respectful decorum and will take the liberty of deleting foul language or an entire comment if it’s deemed outrageously inappropriate. He would appreciate responders who leave their names, city of residence and, if possible, e-mail address.
Frank has been writing and publishing commentary since 1994. His articles have appeared in various newspapers in North Carolina and Florida, along with short stories in many magazines. True to his moniker “Frankly Speaking,”(the title of one of his books) Frank wastes no words in presenting his message as he hits sharp and hard but above the belt. No one would ever call him politically correct. His critics are hard pressed to pigeonhole him as a liberal or conservative, as his views vary depending on the issue. Because he is not running for office nor seeking a job, the muzzle is off. One critic said, “I don’t always agree with Mr. Frank, but he sure makes you think.”
