The Immorality of Pacifism

Pacifism has occasioned many of my blog outbursts.  Dennis Prager did one of his “Ultimate Issues” hours on this topic.  Check it out:

A pacifist believes that killing is always wrong. Don’t confuse this doctrine for a love of peace… War is not the answer? Depends on the question, doesn’t it. It was the answer to […]

“Reporter” on Homeschoolers and Huckabee

Check out Ed Stoddard’s FaithWorld column:

The Huckabee machine included “homeschoolers” who volunteered for him in droves. The energy of those conservative Christians — who as their name suggests educate their children at home in part to shield them from the secular world — would be welcomed by the McCain camp.

Secular “reporters” who “write” about people […]

Point of Order

This is overdue. Sorry Michael.

A friend of mine has started a blog focusing on Congressional legal issues. Since he was at the House Counsel’s Office for quite a while, he sometimes knows what he’s talking about. By the way, that’s the office that represents the U.S. House of Representatives in court, not the […]

Six Years Later: War, Not Tragedy

Debra Burlingame reminds us in her anniversary article today that it is important to look directly at the horror rather than blunting it with euphemisms:

Our fellow human beings were not “lost” in 1993 or on 9/11. They were torn to pieces. We must not give the enemy any quarter. We must confront the reality of […]

D’Souza Smackdown

That cracking sound you hear is the foundation of liberal academia at Boston College beginning to crumble under the weight of truth spoken by Dinesh D’Souza.

I’d love to see the video of D’Souza taking apart the “star professor” and head of the religion center at BC, Alan Wolfe. Then we could see for ourselves […]

Not Just Killing People and Breaking Things

The irony of this familiar discussion about Christian pacifism is interesting. Much of what opponents of the American presence in Iraq would halt by forcing an early pull-out has nothing to do with the use of force. For a fascinating portrait of all the complex ways that the U.S. military seeks to […]

Medved Handles Hitchens

Michael Medved has a really good question for Christopher Hitchens:

Some 24 years ago Hitchens abandoned his British homeland and chose to make his life in the United States. This April, he proudly took the oath as a naturalized American citizen at the Jefferson Memorial. He has written movingly and persuasively of his love for his […]

The “Missing” 13th Amendment

Some crowds are wiser than others. The one at Wikipedia is wiser than the one at Daily Kos.

The only thing missing from this post at Daily Kos (and the 1,981 people who Dugg it) is a little due diligence and common sense. A few minutes of searching reveals not a conspiracy by the […]
