Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A look at some of the history and holidays on November 22 Holidays & Observances on November 22 Feast of St. Cecilia, a second century Christian martyred for her religion and of whom it is recorded that, at her wedding, “she sang in her heart to God.” She is the

Like it or not, we are living through cataclysmic change. These three videos highlight that — and I’ve added a few thoughts about slavery of body and mind. Three videos will make you think about the seas changes happening before us. The first sees Thomas Sowell talk briefly about the
Continue readingBear with me, because I have a story to tell about something that was either an amazing coincidence or a sign. And regardless of what it was, it makes for a fun little tale. I was sitting at my desk yesterday, sorting mail and speaking with a friend. The conversation got
Continue readingHitler loved Islam.* If you didn’t know that he loved Islam, you might think that Hitler, with his race-based obsessions, would have been hostile to a religion primarily centered on a Semitic people. To Hitler, though, Islam was a manly religion that shared his goals: the eradication of the Jews coupled with world domination.
Continue readingI am not exaggerating when I say that C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books were an important element in my moral development. I read them as a child because I loved the fantastic stories. I appreciate them as an adult because I value their spiritual and moral underpinnings. I have no doubt
