David at the Political Chase seems taken aback that this "conservative blogger" wouldn't go along with the Jonesville COG's pastor's implication that Barack Obama is a Muslim: Interestingly enough, not every right-wing conservative blogger supports Pastor Byrd’s thought provoking idea. At least two conservative bloggers do not. This reminds me of something that happened to …
One Church of God Weighs in on Obama and Osama
The Jonesville (SC) Church of God and its pastor are making a stir with their latest sign out in front of the church: Pastor Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God. It reads: "Obama, …

With Environmentalists, It’s Always the Wrong Cause
Muhammad Cohen's article No Friends of the Earth highlights the backward priorities that so often plague the environmental movement: Within days of the Bali breakthrough, activists from environmental group Greenpeace were speeding toward Antarctica, ground zero for global warming, with an embedded BBC reporter aboard. The polar ice caps are melting at accelerating rates, and …

Ben Stein’s Expelled and Marxism
Ben Stein's Expelled is a brilliant (and long overdue) shot at dogmatic evolutionism in the scientific community. This is a subject that I hit every now and then, and his documentary confirms a lot of what I said in Circling the Wagons Around Evolution. One thing he doesn't spend as much time as I would …
The Chinese Discover “Certainly Not Neutral”
The Chinese are discovering what many in the U.S. have known for a long time: that much of the "mainstream" media is biased, and especially CNN, which G. Gordon Liddy humourously referred to one time as "Certainly Not Neutral." This has been brought home to them by the remarks of Jack Cafferty. Some Chinese have …

Barack Obama May Be Right. But It May Not Help.
Barack Obama fights back from the reaction to his statements that people turned to their guns and their God in the face of economic adversity. To be honest, he's right. People have turned to other sources of help than the government. What were we supposed to do, anyway? In many respects Mike Huckabee's populist campaign …

The Trouble with Tibet
Many years ago, I heard an Indian Anglican minister who told a long (and not always easy to understand, due to his accent) story about how it took several long trips over the Himalayas to take the Bible in the “Tibetan tongue” to that storied land. The obvious objective of this was to win Tibetans …
We’re Looking for a Volunteer, Ted
Ted Turner thinks that there are too many people in the world: "We're too many people; that's why we have global warming," he said. "Too many people are using too much stuff." So is he prepared to volunteer himself and his family to bail out first? That's always the tricky part for advocates of things …
“Every woman should carry a gun in this evil time”
Chattanooga city councilman Manny Rico puts the matter simply: Councilman Manny Rico, who was also at the press conference, said he has no problems with Capt. (Jeannie) Snyder continuing to carry a gun. He said, "I think every woman should carry a gun in this evil time." And be prepared to use it too: Chattanooga …

The Falklands: Not This Again!
Argentine President Cristina Kirchner knows how to choose a sore subject: "The sovereign claim to the Malvinas Islands is inalienable," she said in a speech marking the 26th anniversary of Argentina's ill-fated invasion of the islands, located 480 kilometers (300 miles) off shore. The April 2, 1982 invasion prompted then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher …
