Tonight’s bonus post is the first of two commentaries from Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute. Though it is pretty much quoted verbatim, I have taken the liberty of adjusting the formatting a little for readability…. “Here’s what I’ve never understood about evangelicals who endorse Biden: Why is Donald Trump’s character an obstacle to […]

Christians Cannot Ignore Politics in the Culture Wars

Posted by on August 2, 2020 at 8:49 pm

Despite the Judeo-Christian beginnings of the United States of America, there are some Americans these days who want to silence and marginalize Christians. (See my last couple posts.) While claiming to be “tolerant”, many will use bullying tactics to do so. (I suspect I’m not telling you anything new, here.) Yet, some Christians seem to […]

Mikey Weinstein is at it again. Here’s what happened… The Marine Corps had some training scheduled for JAG reservists.

“God gives us freedom to grieve; he gives us freedom to be angry. But he doesn’t give us freedom to sin while we are grieving and while we are angry.” — Samuel Sey Lately, I’ve been getting caught up on some blogposts by Samuel Sey. You might remember the name, since I’ve quoted and linked […]

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” — John Adams, 2nd President of the United States Over the past several weeks, I have shared portions of Dennis Prager’s Still the Best Hope — twice from the section on Leftism and once […]

Palestinian Refugees and the Muslim Obsession with Israel

Posted by on March 22, 2020 at 7:42 pm

From Dennis Prager’s Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, this week’s post is from the section on Islam and Islamism. Prager examines the Palestinian refugee problem and its real function within the Muslim obsession with destroying the Jewish State of Israel. You may be surprised… “Much of the Islamic […]

The Left’s Moral Confusion Over Israel and Palestine

Posted by on March 1, 2020 at 9:47 pm

This week I offer another citation about Leftism from Dennis Prager’s Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, in which he addresses a particular apparent inconsistency between the values and actions of those on the Left.

“The Left-wing assault on God and religion, specifically Christianity, has left Europe morally weakened and secularism has bred a crushing materialist ennui.” — Dennis Prager Back in Jan. 2013, I bought Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph (2012), a book by conservative radio talk show host and writer Dennis […]

Were the Pilgrims Really Intent upon Racial Genocide?

Posted by on November 24, 2019 at 6:46 pm

“The Thanksgiving story is an absolution of the Pilgrims, whose brutal quest for absolute power in the New World is made to seem both religiously motivated and eminently human…. It is unalloyed racist propaganda, a tale that endures because it served the purposes of a succession of the Pilgrims’ political heirs, in much the same […]

“Forty years ago, Liam Neeson roamed in Black neighbourhoods across Northern Ireland looking for an innocent Black man to attack—a Black man like me….”  — Samuel Sey I have recently become aware of the writings of Samuel Sey at the Slow To Write blog. Sey is a Ghanaian-born Canadian who writes with brutal honesty — […]
