BP Oil Spill Aftermath (Part 1 of 2)

January 12, 2011

I am sure you all remember the dire predictions of environmental disaster resulting from last year’s huge oil “spill” in the Gulf of Mexico. I was concerned, too, of course. But, I know that God’s Creation — or, Nature, if you prefer — has proven itself quite resilient in the past, bouncing back from disaster […]

Gardens and Abusing the Commerce Clause

December 31, 2010

From the Truth-is-Stranger-than-Fiction file… In my last post, I (via Judge Napolitano) mentioned that the government has even “skulked into” our backyards (literally). The backdrop for this particular incident is the Great Depression, and the federal government has imposed artificial restrictions on farm production of wheat — “a problem industry for some years” — via […]

Natural Law, Due Process, and Personal Property Rights

December 29, 2010

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas holiday! All too short, I’m sure. Now, back to “business”…. One often hears the terms “natural law” and “due process” used when discussing various (real or perceived) rights and constitutionality of laws. But, to me, at least, it isn’t always clear what people mean by that. (I have […]

Are The Gospel Accounts of the Nativity Contradictory?

December 20, 2010

Skeptics of religion — and of Christianity in particular — always like to pick apart the Bible, claiming that this or that is inaccurate or could never have happened or has been “proven wrong”, or some such thing. I have yet to hear/read any “contradictions” that don’t have some plausible explanation, particularly when one does […]

December 11, 2010

Today’s excerpt is from Judge Andrew P. Napolitano’s controversial, no-holds-barred book Lies the Government Told You: In the 1978 case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the Supreme Court held that affirmative action policies in publicly owned college admissions are constitutional, but institutions cannot employ a “quota system” based on race. That […]

To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not […]
