The Clash of Civilizations at Ground Zero
In recent news, there has been an uproar over plans formed by a group of radical Muslims – specifically to build a Mosque, Islamic Cultural Center, or some other immense structure at Ground Zero. There tends to be an immense lack of understanding of the reasons why the jihadists desire to build this monstrosity.

How the Left Projects Their Hate on the Right
There is something disturbing about the vile treatment directed at conservatives in this culture. Usually, conservatives and libertarians are called “hateful”, “cruel”, “intolerant”, and so forth. Yet, for all of these attacks, it is not the Right that is intolerant. It is the the Left.
The issue of the intolerance of the Left was brought More...
The Catholic Faith of Conservatism’s Patron Saint
William F. Buckley, Jr., has been called the “patron saint of Conservatives”. The title, though audacious, is pretty well-deserved. Buckley did something that many would have thought impossible. He combined the different strains of conservatism in the country at large into one over-arching philosophy. Moreover, he made conservatism *respectable*. This was not some freak mistake. More...
The Myth of the Dying Church
What do most Americans think about Christians? Are Christians just as immoral as unbelievers? To most people, the answers are an obvious negative opinion to the first, and yes and worse to the second. The thing is that these answers would be wrong. There are a lot of misconceptions about Christians in America, and sociologist More...
The Authoritarian Left Is Now in Power
In this country, we have a very real threat to our freedoms in the form of the Left wing of the Democratic Party. I know that sounds like hyperbole on my part, but it really is not. The two basic freedoms that our country is founded upon, that indeed undergird the idea of all other More...
Is Obama Really Trying to Protect Us?
If one turns on the popular Fox News Channel show, The O’Reilly Factor, at night, one will invariably at least a couple of times a week hear the host attacking talk radio. Bill O’Reilly takes particular aim at the idea put forth by Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and others, that the Administration is allowing the More...
Happy Flag Day! Remember to Honor the Red, White and Blue
The Flag is the symbol of our country, and of those who have fought for it. It should be honored and respected, because to not do so is to not honor or respect those who have fought for it.
For those of you putting up flags, here are some guidelines about the use and care of More...
Senator Reid Should Be Careful What He Wishes For…
This past week, Sharron Angle won the Republican nomination to oppose Senator Harry Reid in his re-election bid in Nevada. This race has become a huge deal for both parties. Not only is Sen. Reid the Senate Majority Leader, but he also represents a reliably “red” state, where his negatives are about as high as More...
Pray for Helen Thomas
Hatred is a word that is casually thrown around. Very few people consider the Biblical context in the words of our Lord, that we are guilty of murder if we hate people. Similarly, we sometimes wish that someone would “go to hell”; not heeding the fact that hell is not just “hell” a useless epithet, More...
Wisdom and Folly
There is an incredible lack of wisdom in this country. When I say wisdom, I mean it in the religious sense of the word. The Bible defines wisdom as knowing and doing God’s will, and foolishness as denying God and refusing to follow His precepts. I think that logic is often in line with this More...
