In the “Little Theater,” on the campus of Harding University, Jimmy Allen told me to love Suzannah as Christ loved mankind. That means, he said with a tremble in his voice, you be ready to take a bullet for her. We pledged to love, honor, and cherish. Then, an acappella quartet sang […]
So Scooter Libby gets clemency, Mark Elrod calls the President “soft on crime,” and Kolby chimes in with the first comment, ignoring a few facts of his own.
I have no truck for Libby. He represented Marc Rich and famously congratulated the international tax fugitive upon receipt of a pardon from Bill Clinton — while […]
Our congregation recently conducted a lengthy survey prepared by some consultants from Harding University. It had tons of questions, but the very first substantive question under the heading “personal beliefs” asked to what extent you agree or disagree with the statement: “God is constantly at work in the world directing people, nations and events.”Turns […]
The biggest problem this article is that it makes my former Harding professor sound like Enid Strict — as if he were taking attendance and wagging his finger at the folks who skip Wednesday night Bible class. Anyone with five minutes and an Internet connection can figure out that's not where Dr. Elrod is coming […]
In case, like me, you missed it and didn’t know it was online, here are the links to video of the American Studies Institute debate on just war and pacifism at Harding University. The audio isn’t great, but you can make it out. Political Cartel has a nice summary and there was some […]
A little too ironic…
Okay, so Alanis Morissette doesn’t seem to know what irony means. Here’s a better example.
A guy who criticizes Harding University for its loose and long ago association with right wing undesirables also posts a link on his blog to a video.
The point of the video is to deny the plain […]
GKB once again takes aim at Harding University and its American Studies Institute and once again misses the mark (two posts in a row this time!):
I would say the same thing if the American Studies Institute promoted communism, socialism or nudism [or environmentalism???]. . . .Call me a Pharisee, but I would rather build a […]
More is being said here and here.
We’re home after a long (and great) Christmas vacation. So it’s back to work and back to whatever home-based blogging time permits.
Stuff I read today: Saddam’s Terror Training Camps by Stephen Hayes and U.S. shouldn’t have to do tap dance over bugging by Mark Steyn.
Money-quote from Hayes:

Discussion of Harding University’s efforts at citizenship education continues here.
BACKGROUND: Harding University Films
Prompted by the discussions about Harding University, Americanism, and anti-communism here, here, here, here, here and here — I recently went looking online for more information about Harding’s National Education Program (NEP) and found a gold mine of videos at the Prelinger Archives.
In the 1940s and 50s, Harding College became nationally known for […]
