When the Obama administration put out the contraception payment rule, my first thought was that they had bitten off more than they can chew by assailing the Roman Catholic Church. Regardless of your opinion of their church, you have to admit that the RCs have outlasted a whole lot of governments. As the squabble rumbled [...]
The issue of prayer in school has reared its ugly head, this time in Cranston, Rhode Island. And once again, I’m taking the position that all sides are in the wrong. We shouldn’t even be having this fight. The basics are these. A 16-year old self-described atheist named Jessica Ahlquist objected to a written prayer [...]

We’ve just passed the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s low water mark for jurisprudence, Roe vs. Wade. As our preacher pointed out in church yesterday, America has now eliminated somewhere around 50 million unwanted kids. Numerically speaking, that’s the size of the Nazi Holocaust eight times over, a staggering amount of humanity that never [...]

As reported in the Los Angeles Times, Christian organizations with health care insurance have one year to begin providing birth control for their participants… or else. For Roman Catholics and a few other denominations, this is just flat-out unconscionable. It’s long been a Roman Catholic doctrine that birth control is sinful. The explanation provided by [...]

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Nimrod be hatin’ on the Apostles The Republican primary [...]
Fox News has published an article from Shari Johnson on the subject of homosexual marriage. Johnson says she held Christian views on the subject and that her mind was pretty much closed until her 37-year old daughter phoned one night to say that she was a lesbian. Johnson then mentions Mark Driscoll’s recent article (also [...]
The consent of the governed The Framers of our Constitution traced the power of governors to the consent of the governed. Being a Christian, I would have expressed that in slightly different terms. The power to govern comes from God (Rom 13:1) and is inherently limited by divinely established, hence immutable, laws of justice. Those [...]

The American Thinker has posted a great article on what’s wrong with the GOP’s next-in-line candidate, Mitt Romney. Quick summary: Romney is an unprincipled pol adept at making up words to entice unwary voters. It’s a common charge against politicians that they’ll say whatever words are necessary to get elected. This has been Romney’s history. [...]

Today marks the end of that fine moral epoch founded by his Most Pious Grace, Bill Clinton. I’m talking about the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on homosexuality. It’s now over. Homosexuals may do whatever it was they wanted to do, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice will have nothing to say on [...]

Like most people, I can remember where I was when I heard about the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the abortive attacks that resulted in the Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania. President Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 “a day that will live in infamy.” September 11, 2001 will likewise be a [...]

Joe Biden, born with a silver foot in his mouth, is regrettably representing the United States in China. China is America’s biggest creditor, so we sent them our biggest clown. He is Joe Isuzu with hair plugs and an unctuous grin. Biden took the opportunity last Sunday, August 22, to tell university students in Sichuan [...]

Reuters is reporting that GM will refuse to honor warranties on cars sold prior to their bankruptcy. The biggest problem faced by the company right now is the same one that’s troubling the whole country, which is leadership making fundamental errors concerning integrity. By putting out a legal position that “new GM” isn’t responsible for [...]

The rioting in Britain has been interesting, not because no such things have ever happened before, but by way of the chattering classes’ reaction to it. What could be the root cause, they want to know? The idea that criminality is produced by the chatterers’ own nihilism hasn’t occurred to them. But Christians warned of [...]

I had to look it up on Wikipedia to see when Kenny Rogers recorded the song, “Coward of the County.” It was 1979. Rogers’ song ends with the line, “sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man.” With the feminization of the western man, the riots in England have disclosed yet another ugly side to [...]
