Principles, Not Partisanship
Published on 2012-05-20 23:17:44
Members of all political parties (here in the U.S., at least) like to baptize their ideas and policies with moral justification, sometimes quoting the Bible and/or claiming that Jesus promoted the same thing they do. (President Obama recently did precisely that when explaining his stand in favor of same-sex marriage.) And, often, the intent to [...] > read more
Alternative Job Recommendation for Romney
Published on 2012-05-15 22:00:28
I’ve been thinking about Mitt Romney and his skill set. You know how he made the bulk of his fortune? Investing in and, in many cases, turning around poorly performing and/or financially underwater organizations. For whatever reasons, these businesses had lost their way and were headed for bankruptcy. Aside from an infusion of cash, they [...] > read more

“If the post office was a business, it would be in bankruptcy. It’s insolvent.” — Rep. Dennis Ross (R-FL) In case you haven’t heard, I’ll give it to you straight. The Post Office is in deep trouble, sinking under huge deficits and hampered by Congressional micromanagement. If the powers-that-be don’t get their collective act together [...] > read more
Why Christian Apologetics?
Published on 2012-05-06 22:08:11
I came across this the other day and decided to share it…. Readers of this blog will recognize that some of what I write about in the science & religion areas can be characterized as “Christian apologetics” (from the Greek word apologia, which loosely means ‘giving a defense’). Not every Christian recognizes the need for [...] > read more
Practical Vote vs Conscience Vote: Don’t Throw It Away!
Published on 2012-04-30 21:02:45
This past January, I posted an article that looked at some of the things that influence our decisions about whom we decide (not) to vote for. I encouraged my readers to get past the more frivolous concerns (e.g., how a candidate dresses or a particular personality quirk) and to be fair-minded in assessing each candidate’s [...] > read more
Keeping the I-Word
Published on 2012-04-28 22:12:56
Brief rant… On O’Reilly last night, the Talking Points memo included a MoveOn.org video (“Drop the I-Word”) urging people not to use the term “illegal immigrant” anymore. According to the voiceover, “Calling a person illegal takes away their humanity.” Baloney! No one’s questioning their humanity! That claim is victicrat-speak. “It’s racially-charged, legally inaccurate, and morally [...] > read more
Heat Death and Atheist Inconsistency (or, Isn’t It Ironic?)
Published on 2012-04-19 22:42:03
Atheists & secularists, like anyone else, will sometimes speak of what gives their life meaning and purpose. It might be fighting against religious dogma, or helping people think rationally, or spending time with their family, or “making the world a little better place”, or… whatever. Note that these are self-imposed “purposes” or “meaning”, often involving [...] > read more

In a recent panel discussion at Ligonier Ministries’ 2012 National Conference, Dr. Del Tackett took his turn at the mic (56:20) to comment on the “young earth vs. old earth” issue. Since he holds a Young Earth Creationist (YEC) position, I, of course, disagreed with much (though not all) that he said. But, the portion [...] > read more
Newt and Hitch: What Kind of War is the War on Terrorism?

This one goes back a few years… Back in July 2002, Newt Gingrich and Christopher Hitchens appeared together on an episode of Uncommon Knowledge to discuss how best to define & describe the “War on Terrorism”. Hitch and Newt largely agreed on most things, and they both had some interesting things to say, points well [...] > read more
Newt Talks to the NRA

At a Leadership Forum in Pittsburgh, PA, Newt Gingrich addressed members of the National Rifle Association about, not surprisingly, Second Amendment rights. (Shocker, I know!) Towards the beginning, he brought up a very important point about how the Second Amendment is worded. “It talks about the inherent right to bear arms. It doesn’t say the [...] > read more

Today, we learned that Barack Obama met again with Benjamin Netanyahu, where the President assured the Israeli Prime Minister that the U.S. has Israel’s back, should they decide they need to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities (though urging him to resist doing so). It’s quite a turnaround from Obama’s previous statements and [...] > read more

“There is no judicial supremacy. It does not exist in the American Constitution.

More people NEED to hear Newt Gingrich talk about his ideas and his vision for the nation.
