Evangelist Bill Keller's saying that voting for Mitt Romney is like voting for Satan should neither be taken seriously nor be the business of the Internal Revenue Service. I'd like to know: how many people has Keller trained to effectively share their Christian faith with a Mormon? How much does he really know about Mormonism? …
Fred Thompson Runs: Conservatives Have a Candidate
The news that Fred Thompson will announce his candidacy on 4 July is good news for Republican conservatives who have been looking for an alternative to a field that is either a) too liberal or b) too erratic and opportunistic. Rumours are cheap and plentiful in politics. The first indication that I saw that his …

The Question Still Remains: Who’s Going to do the Work?
The whole fracas over the immigration "compromise" arrived at in the Senate centres around issues such as social justice, rule of law and the like, but the central issue is still the same and still simple: who's going to do the work? If the work cannot be done here economically, it will go elsewhere. If …

So Much for a Tolerant Society
All of us have probably felt at some time that we were unfairly punished by a callous teacher, or picked on and teased by boorish and uncaring bullies...Unfortunately, this is part of what teenagers endure in becoming adults... (the law) is simply too crude and imprecise an instrument to satisfactorily soothe deeply hurt feelings... Such …
The Death of Jerry Falwell and the Crusade of Necessity
The death of Jerry Falwell is doubtless bringing dancing and celebration in the bath houses and bars that liberals hang out in (to say nothing of the left-wing blogs.) For our part, we extend our condolences to his family, Liberty University and the Thomas Road Baptist Church. There is no question that Falwell's move into …

Mitt Romney’s Mormonism: Some Things to Consider
Back in March I did a short piece on this subject where I made the statement that "the Book of Mormon does not teach Mormonism!" I also said that "...expect to see considerable discussion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and its beliefs." That has certainly been the case. It's …

Democracy in the Middle East?
Those who oppose the war in Iraq endless talk generally talk about things such as the WMD's, the "lies," etc. They're trying to make a moral case out of it. For us, the matter is simpler: because of the nature of Middle Eastern society, democracy is presently impossible. Thus the whole premise of bringing democracy …
Protecting the Master Race
There has been a lot of consternation--well deserved--about the passage of H.R. 1592, the so-called "hate crimes" bill. We would have commented on this sooner except that it was a foregone conclusion to pass in the House. From a political standpoint, it is a sop to a powerful support group in the Democrat Party. Given …
The Clintons Lie. So Why Is This News?
The new biography about Hillary Clinton by Carl Bernstein promises to be an unflattering portrait. There is no surprise in this. Such have been written in the past. The difference is in the source. Carl Bernstein, of Watergate/All the President's Men fame, is no neocon or conservative of any other kind. So why are the …
Cape Henry and the Triumph of “Plan C”
This weekend we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the landing at Cape Henry, the first enduring landfall of English settlers in the New World. On 29 April 1607, a group from the Virginia Company landed and, led by their Anglican chaplain Robert Hunt, prayed for the establishment and propagation of the Christian religion in the …
