The intro runs about 30-seconds before the sound starts. So be patient (or skip forward); it’s working.
Too few people saw this video back when it was made, before YouTube and Google video became what they are. It used to be available on the House Committee’s website, until a new Chairman took it down […]
I volunteered, working phone banks to raise money for Mike Huckabee when he was just an out-of-work preacher running for the U.S. Senate and then again for Lt. Governor of Arkansas. I drove him from event-to-event when he came to Searcy back in those days. When I left for D.C. all those years […]
Mark Steyn responds to an odd accusation: On Fox News the other night, I was told by NPR's Juan Williams, "You're anti-immigrant!" Er, actually, I am an immigrant – one of the members of the very very teensy-weensy barely statistically detectable category of "legal immigrant". But perhaps that doesn't count any more.
Amen to this! (hat tip: Steffens and Stuart Buck) Well, sort of. I remember a Bible class recently that was filled with talk about how we need to understand that adolescence is extending beyond the teen years into the mid-20s. No doubt we do need to understand these trends, but there seemed to be […]
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 […]
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking or talking about this subject, but have long been of the opinion that the District of Columbia was never intended to be a state and should not be made into a state. If the residents of D.C. wish to have the privileges of statehood and do […]
In contrast the civil tone of the debate linked in my previous post, I just read this tidbit from Patrick Mead:
You see, every time I even mention that my son has joined the Marines I get nasty emails from militant Christian pacifists. Some of them are attacks, some are snide remarks, some are […]
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 […]
The “breakdown of marriage in the United States threatens America’s future. It is turning us into a nation of separate and unequal families.†That’s the premise of Manhattan Institute marriage and family scholar Kay Hymowitz’s new book, Marriage and Caste in America: Separate and Unequal Families in a Post-Marital Age. She recently took some […]
Name that speech:
[W]e must never forget that no government schemes are going to perfect man. We know that living in this world means dealing with what philosophers would call the phenomenology of evil or, as theologians would put it, the doctrine of sin. There is sin and evil in the […]
