The title of this post is in reference to an article I came across several months ago: “Atheists Claim ‘Religion Is Unpatriotic’”. When I read the headline, my first reaction was, “Are they serious?” If we’re talking about America, then I think the sentiment is, well, questionable, to say the least. It seems that, for […]
Back in high school, a friend and I had fun writing humorous lyrics for new versions of existing songs. The one that comes to mind right now is “Pump On”, a weight-lifting/bodybuilding variation of the song “Sail On” by the Imperials. Kinda silly, but we had fun exercising our creative muscles. (Our actual muscles, not […]
I recently purchased Dennis Prager’s book Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph. The title may seem a bit presumptuously America-centric, but knowing Prager, I suspect he makes a pretty good argument in support. Not sure when I’ll actually get around to reading the book, but I was skimming the […]
If you have been caught up in the hubbub about fiscal cliffs and taxing the rich and Tony Romo’s (in)completion record, you may have missed this particular news item. Remember Fantasia? No, not the Disney animated classic. Fantasia Barrino, winner of American Idol’s 3rd season? I don’t keep up on these things, but it seems […]
By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, […]
As it gets closer to the 2012 elections, I get more concerned that, despite Romney’s gains, Obama may still win. They are in a statistical tie, and it could go either way. Yet many conservatives, libertarians, and independents are still either undecided, or they plan to vote for a 3rd party, or they just want […]
“We still have no strategy for dealing with this enormous long term threat. In many ways, the willful blindness of our elites has actually gotten worse.” — Newt Gingrich The following excerpt was recently reproduced in an email from Gingrich Productions. It is from Newt Gingrich’s book Winning the Future (2005), where he is discussing […]
I finally finished the book Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom before It’s Too Late by James Robison and Jay W. Richards. (I was only reading it sporadically and had to return it to the library at least once.) I really enjoyed and highly recommend it. The authors do a great job of laying out […]
Today’s post is centered on another excerpt from Robison & Richards’ Indivisible, in which they examine a fundamental difference in how the typical “progressive” views human nature and how America’s Founding Fathers saw human nature, as evidenced by the language used in our founding documents and in other writings. “The Founders saw human beings as […]
Everybody wants to be free. Free from some things and free to do, well, (almost) anything we want. We love the idea of freedom, or liberty, which is why we — well, most us — in the United States (and many elsewhere) love the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution + Bill of Rights.
