When the Curtain Lifts
There are moments in life when a smattering of events suddenly lock into synchronous orbit, ever so slightly lifting the curtain that divides the temporal from the eternal and granting us a deeper glimpse into the Mystery: All the world is truly a stage and each of us are players. And for those who through…
Read More Duplicity, Thy Name is Hillary (Clinton on Abortion & Religious Convictions)
On everything from gay marriage (she was against it until she was for it) to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (reverse ditto), Hillary Clinton has become the consummate shape-shifter. But there is another arena where both she and the Democratic party have “evolved”—and that in a most disturbing direction. Ever a supporter of a woman’s so-called “right…
Read More Do the Ruskies have the Doomsday Emails, Dr. Strangelove?
Have you ever—accidentally I’m sure—run a red light equipped with a camera and then spent a week or two nervously opening your mail, looking for a citation from the DMV? Well, multiply that anxiety a million-fold and you have an idea how Hillary Clinton and the DNC must feel if the content of just one…
Read More The Perils of Voting One’s Conscience
The vast majority of people who will vote on November 8th will do so based on what their conscience tells them is right. The obvious problem here is that a large percentage of them—likely a sizeable majority—have consciences formed or at least influenced by the vagaries of fallen human reasonings and desires as well as…
Read More REVIEW: Hillary’s America–The Secret History of the Democratic Party
I saw “Hillary’s America” last night. I almost didn’t because the Rotten Tomatoes rating was so horrible: a 5% splat. Normally, I add in twenty or so percentage points when a movie or a documentary’s ideological perspective rubs the liberal media’s fur the wrong way. But 5%? Truly, it had to be a real stinker.…
Read More The White Oak Spoke?
This white oak, the oldest in America and more than twice as old as our nation, is dying. Under its spreading branches George Whitefield once preached to 3,000 people as the fires of the Great Awakening began to sweep across the colonies and gave rise to the experiment in Christian liberty that is America. Most…
Read More Footnote to “Stolen Valor”: The Orlando Terrorist Attack
I wrote this article very much aware of the specter of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub a week ago–aware also that my thoughts can be seen and will certainly be interpreted by some as insensitive and just another contribution to the “homophobia” that helps foment acts of aggression towards members of the LGBTQ…
Read More STOLEN VALOR AND THE CAMPAIGN TO NORMALIZE HOMOSEXUALITY
(Important: Please read my comment on this article in light of the terrorist attack in Orlando.) On Friday, June 24, President Obama designated a new national monument at the site of the Stonewall uprising in New York City “to honor the broad movement for LGBT equality”. This was just the latest in a series of…
Read More Orlando Shooter May Have Been an Actual Homophobe
While not yet conclusive, evidence appears to be mounting that Omar Mateen, the Islamist terrorist responsible for the horrible tragedy in Orlando that left 49 dead and 53 injured, may have been motivated, at least in part, by homophobic tendencies. While true homophobia is far rarer than commonly reported[1], studies suggest that some individuals who…
Read More Into the Purple Haze: Pop Star Prince Dead at 57
“The message matters, my brother.” Prince Rogers Nelson (Notorious; Issue #4, p.88) The eulogies are pouring in as one of the greatest musical innovators of our time has taken his final bow. Bands around the world are playing tributes, artists and program hosts are granting interviews or opening shows lauding his talent and influence with…
Read More The Best Analysis I’ve Read to Date on the 2016 Presidential Elections
The following was written by Scott Lively – author, attorney, activist and former independent candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in the 2014 election. To start with I’m not endorsing anybody. I believe America has been under judgment since SCOTUS ruled in Everson v Board of Education (1947) that Jefferson’s “Separation of Church and State” metaphor…
Read More Donald Trump Channels Howard Beale
Paddy Chayefsky – via his creation, Howard Beale – was remarkably prescient. Having nursed a nation into sheeptitude through the twin nipples of TV and public education, the globalist/elitist/statist/Baalist wolf stands poised to come out of the shadows and straight up welcome us into their brave new world. Maybe, just maybe, it will take a…
