I guess one can say that he's arrived now that he's appeared in the Shiny Sheet's (Palm Beach Daily News) blog: I wonder whether candidates are fully aware of the depth of their followers’ devotion. Many of these folks waited in line for 2 hours — in full sun and 85-degree temperatures. Then, after passing …
Trust Me, Mike, There’s More to Come
M.D. McMullin lets it out about Positive Infinity on Jonathan Stone's blog: I think Don has already blogged on every issue known to man. And, if God gives me life, I'll keep it up. I think that a lot of the problem Evangelical Christianity is facing these days is that its focus (or life view) …
You’re Not as Dumb as You Look
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, …

American Foreign Legion?
It certainly looks that way: Under pressure to increase their numbers, the Army and Marine Corps are sharply raising the number of recruits with felony convictions they are admitting to the services. Data released by a congressional committee shows that the number of soldiers admitted to the Army with felony records jumped from 249 in …
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 …

Why the New Madrid Fault is the Most Dangerous
The earthquake near New Salem, Illinois--on an extension of the New Madrid fault--is a reminder that, for all of the publicity that earthquakes in California get, the fault system that caused this quake is the most dangerous in the continental United States. The reason is twofold. First, California has an extensive system of faults. While …

The Example of Ambrose
Travis Johnson's proposal concerning the election of state Administrative Bishops in the Church of God is an interesting one. From its start the Church of God has appointed its state and regional (diocesan, for you Anglicans and Roman Catholics) prelates centrally at the biennial General Assembly. It's easy to draw from this (and current Roman …
