Last week GOP senatorial candidate for Missouri Todd Akin found himself at the center of a media firestorm due to a very inappropriate choice of words he made. He had been questioned about his prolife position on abortion policy, with particular emphasis placed on […]

The plight of the Copts
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHvQXfGUBCs&feature=player_embedded] The video above shows raw emotional pain. I could have chosen worse, but I wanted only to convey the distress our brothers are in without exalting the power of the enemy. As it is, it is hard enough to take. The two year […]
If I wanted America to fail…
I continue to pray that America will not be fooled again. God have mercy.
Voodoo morality: Obama offers a meaningless compromise
President Obama has come out with his glorious “compromise” regarding his health care regulation that would force religious institutions to pay for contraceptive and abortifacient coverage for their employees. And what solution has The Smartest Person In The World come up with? That the […]
The ugliness begins
One very ugly story today in the Guardian. It’s ugly in two ways: first, for the story that is told, and second, for the way that story is told. The story is that minorities are alleging a massive attempt to deprive them of the […]
“Birth control” –and abortion – for all, underwritten by all, like it or not
In the latest depredation by the Obama administration, Health and Human Services is proposing radical new regulations that would require private insurers – even those covering religious institutions such as churches, schools and hospitals – to fund contraceptive services with no charge or co-pay […]
David Wilkerson, RIP
Dave influenced a lot of people, including me. When he came out with The Cross and the Switchblade, it was the first time that I heard of the Cross’s power to change lives here and now, and not merely provide for the hereafter, as I had been taught. When I later reached the crisis in my life that would deliver me on God’s doorstep, that message became essential to my survival.
The Muslim Street
I’d like you to go to UNDispatch and read an initial insider reaction to the atrocity in Afghanistan yesterday. The Islamic aspect of the massacre is non-existent, of course (after all, this is the UN), but the conclusion is still germane: it is time […]
A revolution of moral sanity
There is a moral revolution going on in this nation, and entrenched interests are doing their best to suppress it. Nancy Pelosi called the gathering TEA (“taxed enough already”) movement “astroturf”, meaning it was fake grassroots financed by dark conservative sources. But if you […]
Where is America?
At this point, I’m wondering what America stands for. And I suspect I’m not alone.We have a brutal dictator, who also happens to be criminally anti-American, at the first time in four long decades vulnerable to overthrow. We see him using mercenaries to cut […]
Said Musa, guilty of Christianity, to be hanged within days
Our friends the Afghanis are set to hang a Christian brother for the dread crime of turning away from Islam, which he did eight years ago. We have spent precious blood, much toil, and a whole lot of money to bring this nation out […]
Watching and praying
As we watch world events, we need to dwell in the peace of Christ.
Can we inaugurate him tomorrow?
I’m watching the keynote speech to the annual conservative CPAC event, given this year by Rep. Allan West of Florida. And man, he is hitting the right buttons. The Left came against West in spades last fall, because they fear him. West is that […]
The tragedy of lost Egypt
I’ve been watching the news from Egypt with a mixture of hope and apprehension, but mostly apprehension. Mubarak finally has stepped down, and he has handed the government over to the army. It is a sad commentary, indeed, that the military is the only […]
