My 30 Favorite Tweets for March of 2014

If being called "bossy" is enough to dissuade a little girl from being a leader, she probably isn't cut out to be a leader in the 1st place — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) March 21, 2014 OMG, this is genius. pic.twitter.com/GzyYQMzzLK — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) March 26, 2014 I'm not interested in 2016 candidates promising to […]

Common Crap: Education in America

Education in America is not what it used to be and sadly, we won’t get the true results for decades. Nurture or nature–is one of these responsible for the pitiful state of American students? I got news — we’re in BIG trouble if it’s nature. Because if it’s nature, it means Americans are producing intellectually […]

Air Force removes POW/MIA ‘Missing Man’ table because it includes a Bible

Something is missing from the Riverside Dining Facility at: Patrick Air Force Base: the traditional: POW/MIA “Missing Man” table. Such tables, a mainstay at military bases and veterans’ organizations, are set for six, one for each service – the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and civilian personnel – representing personnel missing in action or taken […]

Busted for Dud Shell and Replica Bullets

Mark Witaschek has lost his two-year legal battle against the tyrants running our nation’s capital. He is now registered in the DC’s Gun Offenders Registry, and must pay a fine. His crime came to light when the police searched his home: The search was in response to a complaint from his estranged ex-wife. The evidence […]

McCain Wants to Name Amnesty After Ted Kennedy

Given that the backstabbing “maverick” John McCain has emerged as an important ally of Barack Obama, you may wonder if he can be considered a Republican in any meaningful sense. Benny Johnson of BuzzFeed provides the answer: McCain "when immigration reform passes I will make sure it is forever called the Edward M. Kennedy immigration […]

Will Obamacare Hit 7 Million Signups?

And, if so, will Kathleen Sebelius re-change her mind about 7 million being important? Better yet, will they pay? (Fox News) On the last day to sign up for ObamaCare, the health care overhaul was reportedly on track to sign up more than 7 million Americans for insurance coverage, though the number of enrollees who […]

The 7 Reasons America Became A Great Power

“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle: There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to […]

How Foreign Is Our Policy?

Many people are lamenting the bad consequences of Barack Obama’s foreign policy, and some are questioning his competence. There is much to lament, and much to fear. Multiple setbacks to American interests have been brought on by Obama’s policies in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Crimea and — above all — in what seems almost certain to […]

US Air Force Airbrushes Religious Liberty Again

Fox News reported a few weeks ago about how the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., removed a Bible verse from a cadet’s personal whiteboard. I am personally so disappointed that the branch of service that I served in to protect our freedoms is now trying to suppress them. When one walks the dorm […]

‘It Was Important for Us to Suffer’

On Sunday, two remarkable Christian women, Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh, spoke at our church, describing their harrowing tale of imprisonment by the Iranian regime because of their Christian faith. Both were raised in Muslim homes in Iran but never embraced Islam. As young adults, they became Christians and met each other while studying theology […]

Judaism, Christianity, Environmentalism

As I have often noted, the most dynamic and influential religion of the past hundred years has not been Christianity, let alone Judaism, the two religions that created the Western world. Nor has it been Islam. It has been Leftism. Leftism has influenced the literary, academic, media, and, therefore, the political elite far more than […]

Obama’s Top-and-Bottom Coalition Shows Signs of Strain

America’s two major political parties are inevitably coalitions, forced by the winner-take-all Electoral College and the need of candidates in single-member congressional districts to amass 50 percent of the vote, or nearly that, to win election. In a nation of America’s cultural variety, that means holding together groups that have different priorities and conflicting positions […]

A Repeal by Any Other Name

Should Congress repeal Obamacare? If you had asked that before the botched Affordable Care Act rollout, I would have had a hard time answering yes. I didn’t see how the scheme could work, but I also believed that Washington owed the millions of Americans who I was told had been waiting desperately for years for […]

Much ado about Noah

It wasn’t so long ago that conservative Christians believed Hollywood to be evil and some preachers instructed their congregations not to go to movies lest they be tempted beyond their ability to resist. Now Christians are debating film content. That’s progress of a sort. The main complaint from critics of the film “Noah,” which opened […]

Can You ‘Recuperate’ Your ‘Subjectivities’?

The mother of the 16-year-old pro-life demonstrator who suffered a rough confrontation with a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has shown a rare civility — the spirit liberals are forever bemoaning the lack of but rarely demonstrating themselves. The event: A small group of pro-life activists visited UCSB to demonstrate against abortion. […]
