Our Embassy In Yemen Is Stormed. So, When Do We Apologize?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Our embassy in Yemen has been stormed by a group of primitives who are supposedly offended by a YouTube video that roughly 11 people on the planet had probably seen before 9/11. So when do we apologize because their tiny, backwards brains couldn’t handle a contrary opinion without exploding into violence? Chanting “death to America,” […]

 

HuffPo Scolds Dems for ‘Caving’ On Reinsertion of God and Jerusalem Into Platform

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It might appear odd, but Huffington Post seems to be scolding the Democrats for having “caved in” to pro-religion and pro-Israel forces in the Democrat Party for succeeding in having God and Jerusalem put back into the Democrat Party platform after they were removed earlier today. Clearly proving that there is a great division in […]

Anyone who is surprised, raise your hand (Fox News) A new report by the Family Research Council and the Liberty Institute claims that there’s been a rising pattern of hostility toward Christians in America over the past decade.

Obama’s Constant BS About Thomas Jefferson and Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every year he’s been in office, President Obama has hosted an “iftar dinner” to honor Islam in the White House. The President has also each time led his speech with the outlandish nonsense that Thomas Jefferson held the “first iftar dinner” in the White House. And every time it’s been utter hogwash. This year’s speech […]

“I Am Ashamed That The First Black President Chose This Road, A Disgraceful Road.” — The Rev. Williams Owens

Posted on by John Hawkins

At long last, Obama is FINALLY getting some blowback for taking the votes of black Americans for granted. A group of conservative black pastors are responding to President Barack Obama’s support of same-sex marriage with what they say will be a national campaign aimed at rallying black Americans to rethink their overwhelming support of the […]

 

Even TIME Says Mayors Emanuel and Menino Wronging Chick-Fil-A

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s a “First Amendment buzzsaw,” that the mayors of Chicago and Boston have walked into over misuse of their powers in denying Chick-Fil-A the right to open and operate their fast food stores in the two cities. This is from TIME, yet. And if even TIME realizes that the Democrats are misusing their powers, well, […]

 

A Few Arguments About Our Mis-Educational System

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every time I begin arguing with a liberal over the efficacy of our current system of mis-education, it almost always gets around to a few retorts from them. They say I am anti-intellectual or they say that because I’m conservative, then religion must form the bedrock basis of all my ideas and, therefore, my ideas […]

 

There’s No Conflict Between A Meritocracy And Christianity

Posted on by John Hawkins

While I was on vacation, my buddy Matt Lewis wrote a piece called Is meritocracy undermining Christianity that really bugged me because the premise was not only harmful, but extraordinarily wide of the mark. Matt’s comments were a take off on some things Walter Russell Mead, who’s also an excellent conservative writer, had to say […]

 

New Film: Jesus Christ Not Divine, Born of Roman Rapist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

So much for Hollywood’s days of the sweeping Biblical epic, I suppose, but a film director and author of a controversial book on Jesus Christ has announced he’s found the financial backing to produce a film on the Christian Messiah that will contend that Jesus was just a good politician, one born after his mother […]

 

Mostly Left Leaning Media Put Romney’s Mormon Faith In Spotlight

Posted on by William Teach

You’re shocked by that revelation, I can tell (Politico) Mitt Romney wants voters to see him as the man to save the economy and right the country, the redeeming American hero riding in on the proverbial white horse. Just not that White Horse. That’s the one in the old Mormon prophecy attributed to Joseph Smith, […]

 

Catholic Organizations Sue Obama Admin. Over Contraceptive Mandate

Posted on by William Teach

Nancy Pelosi told us “we have to pass the bill to know what’s in it,” (NMP) Obama said “If you like your health insurance, you can keep it.” We were told that the more we know about Obamacare, the more we’d like it. How’s that working out? (CNS News) The Archdiocese of New York, headed […]

 

MSM: Obama’s Faith Is Off The Table, Romney’s Isn’t

Posted on by William Teach

Sunday, two of the biggest papers on the East coast decided to run long articles on Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith. The NY Times one trended on Memeorandum Sunday, and included subtle digs at Mitt being very religious (see Ann Althouse for more) As a young consultant who arrived at the office before anyone else, Mr. […]

 

Mormon Doctrine Leads to Socialism?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Now that Mitt Romney is the presumptive Republican nominee for president, the left is increasing its attacks on his Mormon religion, hoping to distract voters into focusing on perceived negatives about Mormonism. The latest attack is shrewdly done. Instead of directly attacking Mormonism, which could look bad, the left is claiming that Mormonism is really […]

 

Actually You Probably Don’t Need An Exorcism And If You Did, These Are Not The People You’d Call

Posted on by John Hawkins

Whether these people are kooks or fakes, they’re doing a disservice to Christianity. While most people their age are studying for exams or getting their first jobs, a trio of girls in Arizona claim they’re helping people all around the country expel their dangerous demons – through exorcisms. Brynne, Tess and Savannah work under Brynne’s […]

 

Beating Your Wife: A Gift For Muslim People

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the great fallacies about Muslims, spread by dishonest groups like CAIR, is that their image problems are caused by people who point out the problems with radical Islam. The idea is supposed to be that if somehow these people weren’t around, Islam would have a wonderful reputation. The issue with that is it […]

 

Liberals Put An Aspirin Between Their Knees For A Week

Posted on by John Hawkins

Poor Foster Friess. He made a funny little joke and liberals FLIPPED OUT. This contraceptive thing, my gosh it’s such [sic] inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly. Of course, the whole reason Libs went insane is it’s supposed […]

 

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem

Posted on by Michael Fell

This is not a defense of Rush Limbaugh. Rush can take care of himself. This is about a much bigger problem within a much bigger picture. Have you seen the latest hit piece on Yahoo’s Destination 2012 web-site by David Crary of the Associated Press? Not surprisingly, this latest salvo is aimed directly at Rush […]

 

Satan Vs. Santorum

Posted on by John Hawkins

I’ve never been the biggest Rick Santorum fan. He’s a little too comfortable with big government and although he can come across like a philosopher/religious historian when he’s on top of his game, he’s not exactly teeming with charisma and he often comes across as preachy. Politicians can talk about social issues and honestly, voters […]

 

If Obama Wants To Persecute The Catholic Church…

Posted on by John Hawkins

…Republicans would have to be complete idiots to let that opportunity pass us by. It’s amazing to me to hear people, who obviously have no political instincts whatsoever, saying that we should just shrug our shoulders when Barack Obama is going on an unconstitutional, anti-Christian jihad against the Catholic Church. Guess what? The Catholic Church […]

HuffPo: Catholics Need To Just Forget 2,000 Years Of Church Doctrine Because People Have Sex!

Posted on by William Teach

Liberals will rationalize anything for the sake of abortion on demand (Marjorie Clifton at HuffPo) I am the product of 14 years of Catholic school and am a practicing Catholic, actively involved in the church all of my life. As a woman with a career in politics and women’s leadership, I have quietly worked within […]

 

Jesus Didn’t Call For Socialism

Posted on by John Hawkins

One thing I can’t help but notice about politics is that conservatives and liberals have a very different approach to Christianity. Conservatism is generally friendly to Christianity, while liberalism is actively hostile towards it. Attacking Christianity is frowned upon amongst conservatives, while it happens so often with liberals that they don’t even bat an eye […]

 

How faith, virtues and marriage are declining among blue collar Americans

Brad Wilcox writes about a new book entitled “Coming Apart” in the: Wall Street Journal. Excerpt: So much for the idea that the white working class remains the guardian of core American values like religious faith, hard work and marriage. Today the denizens of upscale communities like McLean, Va., New Canaan, Conn., and Palo Alto, Calif., […]

Wisconsin School Punishes Christian Kid for Being a… Christian Kid

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Superintendent Todd Carlson of Shawano High School in Shawano, Wisconsin is sorry a student observed his First Amendment rights and had his article published in the school newspaper that denounces homosexuals adopting children.

The Superhuman Density Of The Liberal Mind When It Sees Something It Doesn’t Want To See — Like Radical Islam.

Posted on by John Hawkins

There’s a famous Time cover from 1992 that hammers home the almost superhuman density of liberal minds when there’s incredibly obvious information present that runs counter to what they want to hear. Most people figured out that men and women were born different at about 4 years old. For the liberals at Time, however, this […]

 

Israel Killed Fewer Civilians in Military Operations Than Others, Including the US

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The last decade or so we’ve assigned a euphemism to the deaths of civilians in military operations; we’ve called it “collateral damage.” The fact is, though, that deaths of bystanders — purportedly innocent — are almost unavoidable in war operations. After all, war usually entails the indiscriminate firing of automatic weapons or the dropping of […]
