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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Since it’s summer and there’s nothing but re-runs on I’ve been channel surfing more than usual. Last night I happened to catch a speech by Muslim dissident Irshad Manji on C-SPAN. What a gutsy broad! Ultimately, I think she’s a leftist with whom I would disagree on many things. Despite her […]

As quoted here:
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property-either as a child, a wife, or a concubine-must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. […]

While London’s Dhimmi mayor, Ken Livingstone, defends Muslims in the wake of a Muslim terrorist attack, Tony Blair goes out with a bang, ripping into Islamists for nurturing a false sense of grievance:
“The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
