What do Benny Hinn, the Big Bang, and Joe Biden’s gun-grab have in common? Nothing, as far as I can tell, other than the prominence of the letter “B” and the fact that all three show up in this blogpost. Stick with me… Despite having gotten a good-sized post published on time last Sunday, the […]
“Its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly contemporary, both in its particular forecasts and in its general tone of semiserious alarm.” — author/editor/publisher Martin Green Something a little different for you today… In 1946, Aldous Huxley wrote a Forward to the new edition of his Brave New World (1932). It was part retrospective, in which he […]
Following the “A View from the Right” year-end tradition, this year’s final post is a sampling of my favorite posts ranging from 2010 thru 2018. Hopefully, readers new and old will find something of interest from the archives that they may have missed. There is no actual ranking involved, but I have tried to present […]
“These aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and a rate that’s never happened before.” — President Trump, in response to a California sheriff’s frustrations with state “sanctuary” law making it difficult to deal with MS-13 You’ve probably heard about this story already, but allow me […]
In what has become something of a year-end tradition here at “A View from the Right”, my final post for 2017 is a “Top 10” of links (with associated excerpts) to posts from preceding years.

“In studies on college students, atheists and agnostics reported more anger at God during their lifetimes than believers. A separate study also found this pattern among bereaved individuals.” — CNN’s Elizabeth Landau reporting on Case Western Reserve University research (Jan. 2011) When asked why they are atheist/humanist/naturalist, most people will tell you that it’s only […]
“[A]fter many decades of trying to comprehend the gender confusion that persisted even after my sex transition, I came to understand that my grandmother’s cross-dressing of me was emotional child abuse.
