The
light at the end of the tunnel - That’s My Opinion - By Bob Robinson - Dec. 31, 2010
In a few hours another year will be wrapping up. Some may disagree with
me, but I think it will go into the history books as a catastrophic
year of unbridled government growth at the expense of our freedoms.
Most voters still want Obamacare repealed and for the first time,
Rasmussen says a majority of voters think it will be repealed. I hope
they’re right, but they’re probably whistling in the wind... read

A Christmas Poem -
Verities & Balderdash - By Bob Robinson - Dec. 25, 2010
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the
room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my
chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a
blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The
sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was
Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep... read

Two unique words - That’s My Opinion - By Bob Robinson - Dec. 24, 2010
I went shopping yesterday. Among my stops was Shawnee Prairie, where I
picked up some unique home grown products… apple butter, made right
here in Darke County Parks, and maple bear honey, made in Union City,
Indiana. Yeah, I know, UCI isn’t Darke County, but it’s close enough.
Shawnee boasts that these “home brew” products all come from within a
20-mile radius of the preserve. And Union City, Ind., fits. They will
be ‘Christmas’ for some city relatives who don’t know what they’re
missing... read

The other side of the
fence - Bethany J.
Royer, Mother of the Munchkins
My writing has fallen into a rut about my divorce. I would complain if
not for the fact that divorce has become my cause; much like someone
who must deal with a personal illness may take up a cause for cancer or
heart disease. When a parent has lost a child to a drunk driver and
they become active in MADD. For me, divorce and I have literally been
siblings in constant rivalry since I was eleven years old. We’ve been
forced together on a very long, tumultuous path where we’ve tussled,
pulled each other’s hair... read

A time for
introspection - That’s My Opinion - By Bob Robinson - Dec. 17, 2010
In Wednesday’s Advocate, I wrote about some of my fondest memories of
Christmas seasons of the past. I made the point that I hoped today’s
kids will have the same opportunities to look back on their seasons
with fondness a half century from now. I believe they will, although
those memories will undoubtedly be a world apart from mine. On Tuesday
I posted a suggested Christmas gift list of ten books: “Townhall... 10
life changing books... read

The demise of the Fourth Estate - That's My
Opinion - By Bob
Robinson - Dec. 10, 2010
If you’ve been following my posts, you have noted that there are a lot
of opinions floating around about the state of affairs of our country.
What you see on my site are only the tip of the iceburg. I post maybe
one out of every three or four I read. That doesn’t include the dozens
more that I don’t bother with... read

Ignorance comes back
to bite us - That’s My Opinion - By Bob Robinson - Dec. 3, 2010
After my special opinion Sunday, Both Sides of the Story, I got the
following comment: “Bob, Your position on an issue from either the
right or left perspectives matters less to me than your providing a
truthful reporting of what is happening concerning local issues. We
have plenty of pundits to take care of the state and national "news".
What we really need in Darke County is someone willing to keep local
politicians... read
