In the wake of President Obama’s pathetic disengagement over the Islamic jihadist attacks on Paris, people are once again decrying his lack of leadership, but the problem is something more fundamental than leadership. Even if Obama were a gifted leader, when it comes to many issues, especially confronting radical Islam, he wouldn’t know where to […]

The Wall Street Journal recently ran a fascinating op-ed by William A. Galston, “The Christian Heart of American Exceptionalism,” much of which I agree with but some of which I don’t. Galston argues that the idea of American exceptionalism should not be discounted and that its primary source is the “durability of American religious belief” […]

My daughter asked me my opinion on an article she read in Vanity Fair attempting to debunk the presidential record of Ronald Reagan. I happily responded. The writer of the piece is veteran liberal commentator Michael Kinsley, who used to be a regular on William F. Buckley Jr.’s “Firing Line” and CNN’s “Crossfire.” It’s not […]

Newsweek has outdone itself in its pre-Christmas issue with a vitriolic assassination of the Bible, under the title “The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin,” by Kurt Eichenwald. This isn’t, by any measure, a balanced piece. It doesn’t approach fairness. Eichenwald doesn’t even attempt to hide his bias, though he seems oblivious to how it […]

God became a man to save us from our sins, which he did finally and completely on the Cross. We commemorate his death and resurrection on Easter, but his suffering on our behalf began much earlier than that. We would do well to remember that at Christmastime, when we celebrate our savior’s birth. Seminary professor […]

Honestly, sometimes leftist thought police surprise even me, not so much with their unreasonableness, extremism and tyrannical tactics but with their brazenness in openly showing who they are. Each new day’s headlines trump yesterday’s. A few weeks ago, Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported on a Marquette University student’s encounter with his ethics instructor. The professor, […]

America’s Christophobes have been plenty busy lately. Maybe the Christmas season makes them especially nervous. A few weeks ago, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department Chief Kelvin Cochran was suspended for a month without pay for the unforgivable sin of self-publishing a Christian book in which he expressed his disapproving views about homosexual behavior, among other things. […]

Instead of using this space to pretend the newly released CIA “torture” report confirms that the United States is the most evil nation in the history of the universe, I’m going to address Jonathan Gruber’s confirmation that he believes we’re all stupid. Assuming you are not under any rocks or haven’t been in an underground […]

Americans are divided politically along cultural, not economic, lines. Partisan preference is highly correlated with views on non-economic issues and only loosely related to economic status. This is the norm rather than the exception in American political history. Party preference has run along regional, racial and ethnic lines more than the divisions along economic lines […]

Evidence mounts that President Obama is reacting with greater defiance and lawlessness despite Americans’ repudiation of his agenda in the November elections, and the word is that Republican leaders in Congress are relaxing their resistance. Isn’t it axiomatic that if you reward bad behavior you’ll get more of it and that if you punish it […]

I wish there were a way to address the Ferguson controversy without generating further controversy. But that’s not an easy task. I have believed for some time that the Obama administration has fanned the flames of racial tension in this country rather than attempt to extinguish them, despite its claims to the contrary. President Barack […]

Whatever we do, let’s not allow ourselves to be distracted from the continuing nightmare of Obamacare by the other nightmare of President Obama’s latest abuse of power in furtherance of a terrible policy decision — this time on immigration. I would be remiss if I didn’t provide my periodic update on the Affordable Care Act, […]

Time and time again, President Obama demonstrates his contempt for the Constitution and for the American people, whose integrity and will must be subordinated to his personal prerogative and hijacked sovereignty. Obama has admitted on several occasions that he had no authority to act unilaterally, via executive order, to grant amnesty to millions of immigrants […]

Do President Obama’s adamant denials that he misled the American public on various important aspects of Obamacare stand up to scrutiny? No, and it’s not even a close call. In the past several weeks, there’s been a major uproar in the alternative media — the liberal media doing their usual best to cover up stories […]

It’s hard to conceive of a presidential administration more cynical than one that would delay putting off issuing a lawless executive order on immigration until right after the congressional elections, but President Obama is doing just that. If he were sure the American public would support his unilateral action, he would not have hesitated to […]

Recently, a very disturbing video emerged that contains the metaphorical smoking gun concerning President Obama’s many lies about Obamacare. This should remove any lingering doubt that we’re dealing with a fascist-type administration. Of course, there should be no need for a smoking gun, because it is now undeniable that Obama lied on his major selling […]

  President Obama’s remarks at his postelection news conference were instructive on his attitude about the election results and his approach going forward. He always pays lip service to hearing the voters’ message when his side loses but then reveals he hears only what he chooses to hear. He said that what stood out to […]

Democrats have continued to stoke their phony “war on women” issue and racial politics this election cycle because it’s all they’ve got. President Obama’s domestic policy and foreign policy are in shambles, and they know it. In the most recent two national elections (2010, 2012), Democrats used the race and gender cards, to be sure, […]

I read a shocking headline today: “Ex-Con: Most Black Youths See Obama As ‘Deadbeat’ Leader.” Is this an obvious outlier, or could there be something to this? The ex-con referred to in the headline is Paul McKinley, a member of Voices of the Ex-Offender, which is described as a grass-roots group of former inmates. On […]

Do you all realize what a major deal it is that liberal comics are now openly ridiculing President Obama — and not just for his mannerisms and the like but based on his abject policy failures? In his first few years and beyond, liberal funnymen sometimes complained that Obama was so flawless that he didn’t […]

Politically speaking, President Barack Obama is almost as toxic as the ominous viruses he continues to mismanage. Every Democratic candidate fears the contagion and seeks to quarantine himself from his presence and policies. It’s hardly unfair to say that Obama has earned his current condition, having squandered more unearned goodwill than any president in recent […]

Well, the wild and crazy 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is at it again, this time ruling that in a conflict between bullies and the First Amendment, bullies win. The court let stand a previous ruling by a three-judge panel of the court that school officials of Live Oak High School can prohibit American […]

In my new book, “Jesus on Trial,” I explain how the Bible itself serves as its own apologetic. Holy Scripture, if we’ll give it a chance, can bring us to faith. So one of the main goals I have with my book is to encourage people to crack open this amazing book and give it […]

Jesus’ apostles and other disciples were willing to die for him. But so what? Haven’t the followers of other religious leaders and even some political leaders been willing to die for them, as well? What makes Jesus’ followers so unique in this regard? I address this very question in my new book, “Jesus on Trial: […]

In case you haven’t heard, despite all the noise we’ve been trying to make about it, I have a new book out, “Jesus on Trial: A Lawyer Affirms the Truth of the Gospel,” and I’m excited about it. It is on Christian apologetics, which means it defends the Christian faith and its truth claims, but […]

Do you remember the left’s chants about President George W. Bush: “Have you had enough yet?” Well, I could easily ask that about President Obama, but instead I’ll ask: “Do you believe us now?” Some of us have been saying from the beginning that something just isn’t right about Obama. Something is very different about […]

Those who think that either the Constitution or possible negative consequences to the Democratic Party will deter President Obama from acting unilaterally on immigration policy probably still don’t understand what makes this man tick. The main things that drive him are his own interests — whether political or legacy — and his own ideological goals. […]

One does not need to be Sun Tzu or George Patton to know that a nation must recognize an enemy before it can develop a strategy to defeat it. But one apparently does have to be someone other than President Barack Obama. Since he took office, Obama has spent considerable energy trying to convince us […]

Many reject the notion that a good segment of our popular culture and of our political class is at war with Christianity. But this is a real war — not a phony one, such as the left’s manufactured “war on women.” This hostility toward Christianity is a global phenomenon. Radical Muslims are targeting, persecuting and, […]

I hope and pray that my Democratic friends are outraged by yet another criminalization of political differences with the bogus criminal indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry. What is this all about, you ask — in case you haven’t heard? Well, a grand jury indicted Perry on Friday on first-degree felony charges for allegedly abusing […]
