Who Wants Theocracy?
22 March 2008Yesterday I wrote about Jefferson and the separation of church and state. Today I want to address the question of theocracy more directly. As I mentioned yesterday, there are many on the left who seem to believe that the religious right really wants to institute a theocracy in America. Nothing could be further from the [...]
American Theocracy?
21 March 2008From time to time you hear from someone or other who claims America is becoming a theocracy. Many believe the religious right controls the Republican Party and wants to institute theocracy in America. I have little patience for such rhetoric simply because it is demonstrably false. Many of these same accusers love to tout "separation [...]
Is Obama Wright?
20 March 2008News broke a few minutes ago that a McCain staffer had been suspended for circulating a YouTube video via Twitter. The video was titled, Is Obama Wright? I’ve watched the video and embedded it below. It is spot on! That McCain has a problem illustrates the problem conservatives have with him. Or maybe this was [...]
QiblaLocator confirms Mecca orientation of Flight 93 crescent
19 March 2008Reader Max K. found another Islamic website with a Mecca-direction calculator. It can be used to construct yet another graphical demonstration that the Flight 93 memorial points to Mecca. Muslims face Mecca for prayer, with the direction to Mecca calculated by the great circle method. Enter your street address into the search field at QiblaLocator.com [...]
Where Loyalties Lie
18 March 2008This morning Barack Obama gave his race speech where he dealt with the issue of race and his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. While it was certainly a rousing speech, expertly delivered, it reveals some serious and profound misunderstandings and misconceptions held by Senator Obama. The largest and most glaring of those misconceptions is his understanding [...]
Spitzer Resigns
12 March 2008As expected this morning New York Governor Eliot Spitzer publicly offered his resignation, effective Monday March 17. There is no indication at this point as to whether there is any sort of plea deal with federal prosecutors. No doubt we will get much more information over the next several weeks. As that news comes in [...]
Joementum!
12 March 2008Alec Rawls did a 45 minute interview with Washington D.C talk-radio host Joe Ardinger Saturday night (3-8-08, Segment 3). “It rips,” says Alec. “We exposed a lot of the terrorist memorializing parts of the Flight 93 Memorial, and went over the clear proofs of intent that architect Paul Murdoch included in the design.” Joe’s interests: [...]
Will Justice Be Served?
11 March 2008By now only hermits are unaware of the travails of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer eared the nickname “Mr. Clean” for his crusading but that has now been replaced by the nickname Client #9. Spitzer has, apparently, committed a felony in violating the Mann Act which prohibits taking a woman across state lines for [...]
Huckabee Ends Run
5 March 2008Mike Huckabee has said all along that if John McCain reached 1191 delegates he would listen to the voters and drop out of the race. Last night that is just what happened. McCain actually reached 1192 delegates and, true to his work, Mike Huckabee gracefully exited the race. Those of us who were Huckabee supporters [...]
Islamic Symbolism Causing Fundraising Problems for Flight 93 Memorial
5 March 2008Pennsylvanians know about the Islamic symbolism in the Flight 93 Memorial, and have stopped donating. The first indication came last September when State Senator Jane Orie came aboard as a fundraiser. She got a quick education in growing controversy. In a 9/11 radio interview with Pittsburgh talker Fred Honsberger, Orie explained why she hoped the [...]
