Struggles
14 March 2010All of us, without exception, deal with struggles in our lives from time to time. For some of us, the worst struggles we face, though serious to us at the time, are relatively minor in retrospect. For others, there are some struggles that most people could not make it through. The question is, why do [...]
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 Clean” for his crusading but that has now been replaced by the nickname Client #9.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 [...]
Bipartisan BS
22 May 2007I can’t begin to describe my emotions upon hearing the collective stream of BS coming from the Senate Floor. Senator after Senator took the floor to describe their wonderful immigrant ancestors. The message was clear. All of us who oppose the rising tide of illegal immigrants remaining here legally are actually opposed to ALL immigration. [...]
Convicted Sex Offender Acquitted
23 April 2007Accused rapist and convicted sex offender Kenneth Hinson has been acquitted of the abduction and rape of two South Carolina teenagers. A Darlington jury apparently believed Hinson’s claim that the girls engaged in consensual sex with him in exchange for access to the underground room where he stored marijuana. Hinson faced life without possibility of [...]
Partial Birth Abortion Ban Upheld
18 April 2007In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court today upheld the federal ban on partial birth abortion. For the first time since Roe v Wade, conservatives and the pro life movement have something to cheer about in the abortion arena. Still, it must be recognized that this decision may not be the last word on the [...]
Duke Lacrosse Players Innocent!
11 April 2007Commentators expected a statement that there was not enough evidence to prosecute the case. Instead, the AG said: We believe these cases were a result of a tragic rush to accuse and failure to verify serious allegations. Based on the significant inconsistencies in the evidence and the various accounts given by the accusing witness, we [...]
Giuliani on Judges
5 April 2007Rudy Giuliani has given conservatives more ammunition. In an interview on CNN Giuliani expressed his view of “strict constructionist” judges. As you can see, Giuliani’s idea of strict constructionist doesn’t exactly match up with most conservatives. In his view, as with so many others on the court today, stare decisis trumps the Constitution! So bad [...]
The Social Gospel
21 February 2007This has been a difficult post to write. I’ve been working on it for several days. My biggest concern is that I not be misunderstood but I fear I cannot do justice to what I’m getting at. Some will read this post and just say “oh yeah!” Others will read it and conclude that I’m [...]
Is God for a Minimum Wage Increase?
8 February 2007There is a blog that many Christians are probably unaware of. Its title is God’s Politics and its author is Jim Wallis. Wallis is a liberal who believes in using scripture to support his views. While I have no reason to think Wallis is less than sincere, I also strongly disapprove of his approach to [...]
Ted Kennedy’s Private Foreign Policy
12 November 2006According to CNSNews, during the 1980s, Ted Kennedy undertook his own private foreign policy with the Soviet Union. Beginning in 1980, while Carter was still President and Kennedy was seeking the Democrat nomination, Kennedy determined that “the Carter administration had assumed an overly belligerent posture toward the Soviet Union after the invasion of Afghanistan.” In [...]
