Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The left has been warring on Judaism and Christianity since socialism and the terrorist police state were born in the French Revolution. America took the opposite tack in the late 18th century, embracing the Western religious tradition undergirding the Enlightenment. We built our government on those traditions and became a

The essay, which promises to seize religion from right-wing fanatics, is both foolish and unintentionally funny.

2020 is the year when all bad things converge to put our nation under a threat the likes of which we have not seen since 1861. 2020 is the year when all bad things converge — the radical socialist movement, the weaponized victim’s groups, critical theory, the legacy of partisan

I’m in a Festivus mood: My Airing of the Grievances has me saying “I got a lotta problems with you leftists, and now you’re going to hear about it!” Sometimes victim-blaming is appropriate: I found the following statement circulating among my leftist friends on Facebook and it irritated me more

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

Even accepting the NeverTrumper’s claim that Trump is corrupt and bad, if you look at core political principles, he comes out far ahead of the opposition. My latest podcast is up and running. You can listen to it through the audio embed below, or at LibSyn, or through Apple Podcasts. You

Even accepting the NeverTrumper’s claim that Trump is corrupt and bad, if you look at core political principles, he comes out far ahead of the opposition. One of my very dear friends, a lifelong conservative, has turned into a NeverTrumper. He loathes Trump, to the point at which he wishes

This podcast examines hypocritical media claims about Trump’s unique vulgarity and the fact that, vulgar or not, Trump is one of our greatest presidents. My latest podcast is up and running. You can listen to it through the audio embed below, or at LibSyn, or through Apple Podcasts. I’ll be publishing

Trump is the avatar of an American reformation, for he is destroying the dangerous Leftist edifice that has turned our constitutional government into a god. A few quotations to begin. The first is from Charles Lipson, writing about Mueller’s sinking reputation (and I guarantee that my ellipses are honest): Republicans

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?

I’m in a snarky mood today and this Bookworm Beat has a lot to snark about, from McCain’s funeral, to Hillary’s server, to Pontiff scandals, and much more. Again, my apologies for the delay in getting this post up. Aside from catching up on things that fell behind during my

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

In a world in which Leftism and Islam have joined in battle for ascendancy, lies are the coin of the realm and truth is a rare and precious commodity. The posts to which I’ve linked today, for the most part, illustrate the lies that permeate modern Western culture. Law written in
