A View from the Right Science, POLITICS, & Religion

“[V]ote fraud can show up as artificially larger voter turnouts, higher rates of filling out absentee ballots for people who hadn’t voted, dead people voting, ineligible people voting, or payments for votes.” — John R. Lott, president of the Crime Research Prevention Center A lot of people have been exasperated and turned off by the […]

I started a new book the other day, one which examines Critical Race Theory and “social justice” from a conservative biblical perspective and their part in the looming civil war (my words) threatening to split the Evangelical Church writ broad. The following excerpt comes from the Introduction… — — — “[Recent years have born witness […]

“In light of climate change and all the extreme weather we are having, many voters are now reassessing their previous opposition to nuclear power.” — Mark DiCamillo, UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies Isn’t this ironic?! Governor Gavin Newsom — one of the greeny-est, Lefty-est politicians in one of the greeny-est, Lefty-est states — is […]

Longtime readers might remember that I have mentioned and quoted from Samuel Sey’s “Slow to Write” blog before. Sam recently wrote a post explaining why he takes the incrementalist approach to pro-life activism over the abolitionist immediatist approach. I thought Sam did a fine job of laying out both approaches and pointing out pluses and […]

Have you ever wondered what life might be like on other planets? As some of my readers know, I am a big sci-fi/fantasy fan, so it’s not surprising that I’ve given this a little thought. All of the life on our planet is carbon-based, but some people — from scientists to science-fiction writers — have […]

“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” — Justice Samuel Alito (in the leaked opinion draft) If you are like me, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the articles from the last few days talking about SCOTUS, the leaked opinion draft, […]

As promised, this week we continue the argument — as presented by Gergis, Anderson, and George in What Is Marriage? (2012/2020) — against the libertarian position that the institution of marriage should be privatized and the state (i.e., government) keep its nose out of the marriage business. — — — “Let us take a closer […]

I have long said that, while solidly conservative, I have a libertarian streak. A small streak perhaps, but it’s there, in that I can at least sympathize with some of the thinking. Granted, I should probably do more reading to better understand certain libertarian positions. One of those is the suggestion that marriage is solely […]

When considering what to post about this week, the whole “Easter is a pagan holiday” thing kept rearing its head. I knew there were problems with that line of thinking but didn’t relish diving into an investigation about it with only a couple days until Easter. Fortunately, I was sent an email with an article […]

Have you heard about the “crisis” in cosmology? “Crisis” seems a bit alarmist to me, but that’s the term some are using. It comes down to the fact that cosmologists can’t figure out how to reconcile the most recent measurements for the age of the universe. See, there are two major methodologies to deriving it, […]
