Sailing the Last Voyage with Newton and Pascal
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 …

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 …
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 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 …
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 …

Today is the so-called "Day of Silence" put on by the LGBT community to attempt to illustrate their idea of what they go through because they are LGBT. The idea is to "raise consciousness" (a good Maoist term) about the "plight" of LGBT people. Since this event targets schools, it's fair game to bring up …

They are strange creatures, these Bolsheviks. They talk of freedom and the reconciliation of the peoples of the world, of peace and unity, and withal they are said to be the most cruel tyrants history has ever known. They are simply exterminating the bourgeoisie, and their arguments are machine guns and the gallows. My talk …
In the speech he used to fire radio "shock jock" Don Imus (looks like the shock is going the other way) CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said the following: There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to …
Conservative criticism of Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria needs to be tempered by some Middle Eastern reality: In the Middle East, terrorism is considered a means to an end, i.e., political victory, rather than an end itself. That's why the phrase "war on terrorism" is misleading. A "war on Islamic careerism" is more appropriate. Syria's …
