Linda Bloodworth-Thomason Rips MSNBC, and Why the Élites Hate Sarah Palin

And Bloodworth-Thomason's remarks come not a moment too soon either: The cable news channel is "completely out of control," said writer-producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat. She added that she would prefer a lunch date with right-leaning Fox News star Sean Hannity over left-leaning MSNBC star Keith Olbermann. Olbermann was criticized by many who …

Reply to Tom Sterbens on Christianity and Politics

Tom Sterbens initiated an interesting discussion on Christianity and politics on MissionalCOG.  His "wrap" on it is as follows: Do you think that the general disposition of the evangelical community (concerning the potential of Obama being president) is reflective of the same consciousness when Clinton was elected to office? Do you see it as fear …

Obama and Marx: “…to control the production of wealth is to control human life itself”

It looks like the Orlando reporterette's question on whether Obama is a Marxist is getting closer to being answered--by Obama himself, in this 2001 interview with a Chicago public radio station: Some comment is in order. One of the things that has always struck me about the whole "social justice" debate in the U.S. is …

Joe Biden and WFTV: Evidently They Thought It Was Serious

Joe Biden finally gets confronted with some tough questions: Although many liberals weren't impressed with these questions, the Obama campaign must be: they cut the station off from future interviews.  And this in a swing state. Armed with a more in-depth knowledge of Marxism, I would have put things a little more subtly.  That also …

Why William Ayers Matters

As the last day of voting (that's Election Day) in the U.S. approaches and the first day of suing (the day after Election Day) also approaches, people are already trying to figure out what this election means.  We won't know that until a) we have a formal winner and b) we have an idea what …

The Truth is Unknowable

Fellow Palm Beacher George Conger has written a fascinating summary of the 2008 Lambeth Conference in his article The Hollow Men: Lambeth 2008, What Happened And Why. In the course of this, he focused on Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' own consistent philosophy of religion: Dr. Williams is a consistent thinker. Since his enthronement he …

Mass Confusion: Lamb of God

For this week's contribution to Mass Confusion, I'm going back to the Lamb of God from an old favourite: Roger Smith, Michael Howell and the New Commitment's Who Shall Spread the Good News? The rest of this album is here, as it has been for the last five years.

It’s Not What School You Went To, It’s the Kind of Person You Are

In the middle of all the other excitement followed on this blog, last weekend I got to do something completely different: attend my high school class reunion, the first one I had even been to.  People were taken aback that I was going to Boca Raton, FL, to do this, but there's no mystery: someone's …

More on Barack Obama and Huey Long

Evidently great minds think alike, even on the Internet, as The Republic'er also (and independently) made the connection between Barack Obama and Huey Long: We Americans are faced with another Huey Long in the person of Barack Obama. He will pave roads, bring overreaching government programs to the people, and take money from the rich …

Affordable Housing: Henry, It Was a Great Idea, But…

Henry Cisneros gets himself into trouble again: A grandson of Mexican immigrants and a former mayor of this town, Henry G. Cisneros has spent years trying to make the dream of homeownership come true for low-income families. As the Clinton administration's top housing official in the mid-1990s, Mr. Cisneros loosened mortgage restrictions so first-time buyers …
