Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
These are a few things that struck me as interesting during my wanderings through the internet today. If the Times like a historical book, bet against it. I’ve always liked a good historical novel. A knowledgeable author with a good imagination can make the past come alive. Indeed, it was reading

An article about suicide suggested that religious faith matters to our ability to ride out unhappiness, rather than yielding to the impulse of the grave. Last week, the Free Beacon ran a very sad article about the fact that American suicide rates keep increasing: Every year since the turn of

AG Barr recently spoke eloquently on religious liberty. Progressive legal analyst Jeffery Toobin vomited canards and bald assertions in response. In a speech at Notre Dame Law School on October 11, Attorney General William Barr asserted that government needs to prioritize protecting religious freedom. To summarize briefly, Barr observed that

Passover tells us that tyrants fall only when revolution affects them directly and that revolutions are successful only when focused on individual liberty. Passover, which begins tonight, is about so many things: the Jewish people’s renewed covenant with God; their escape from slavery; the journey that ended with the Ten

A cursory review of 1st Amendment law hints that a Catholic school can win its challenge against South Euclid’s overly broad statute regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. PJ Media reported yesterday that a small Catholic school in Ohio, one that revolves around traditional Catholic doctrine, including viewing marriage as

There’s nothing like trying to find a good synagogue to teach you that, when religion seeks meaning in pop culture not God, it no longer serves mankind. Would any of you argue with me if I opened this post by saying that traditional religion is under attack in the West?

Leftism is just another faith, but it’s more cruel than the Judeo-Christian tradition as its creed does not recognize remorse, repentance, and redemption. This is a rather discursive post, but there are a lot of ideas and facts I want to tie together to explain why I argue that Leftism

Watching the Kavanaugh hearing, it’s obvious that Leftists who don’t believe in eternal damnation have no internal brakes stopping their evil behavior. In 1954, Congress added the phrase “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance, something it did as a direct rebuke to Godless communism. I never really focused on

There’s a scary paganism to the unbridled blood lust that appears wherever Judeo-Christian ethical monotheism is in retreat. Ethical monotheism underpins Western civilization. It’s a gift from the Jews, transmitted to large parts of the world through Christians. It is the idea that there is a single God. Unlike pagan
Continue readingThe Masterpiece Cakeshop decision is a small speed bump in the progressive’s war on religion, as well as a roadmap for the future. The progressive attempt to use “gay rights” as a cudgel to destroy the Judeo-Christian religions in this country hit a very small speed bump today with

Modern astrophysics is a faith just as surely as traditional religion is — but the astrophysicists are too arrogant to admit to that fact. Regular readers know that a troll came through here this past weekend castigating religious believers as idiots and wrapping himself in the scientifically pure flag of

Those who reject the Bible will always point to Biblical stories that seem cruel and unjust today. Dennis Prager gives context showing that they are wrong. Dennis Prager is back with another video, this time about the way in which Leftists misunderstand (whether deliberately or ignorantly) two Bible rules: The

An academic article calling Christ a queer, pedophile drag queen reveals that modern academics know nothing about anything — and then teach it to our kids. I finally got around to reading the article about Holy Cross College professor Tat-Siong Benny Liew, who has some interesting ideas about Jesus Christ (whose resurrection

Trump’s decision to change the paradigm with North Korea illustrates the precept in my annual Passover post: Tyrannies must be decapitated, not placated. Starting with Bill Clinton, America fawned over North Korea’s tyrannical rulers, sending them money and promising not to hurt them. In those same years, North Korea’s rulers

We’re told atheism is a rational response to the Bible’s factual failures. That’s a cover story. Atheism is really about an illusory freedom from Big Rules. I’ve been thinking a lot about aggressive atheism. Or put another way, I’ve been wondering why atheists are so determined to erase God from
