What’s In A Name?
One of the arguments that the Pro-Abortion side of the debate uses to attempt to assuage guilt and justify their position is to assign and control the names given to life in an attempt to dehumanize it. They believe—and it’s worked for a while—that if they are able to call the baby in the mother’s [...]
Amazon as Big Brother
In Ray Bradbury’s book, Fahrenheit 451, the society at the time has been out burning different books in an attempt to quash contrary ideas and exalt the trivial: In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury’s classic, frightening vision of the future, firemen don’t put out fires–they start them in order to burn books. Bradbury’s vividly painted society [...]
The Health Care Debate
The group that was behind the Loose Change video—those that think that the government was behind the 9/11 attacks, that it wasn’t really airplanes—are now out with another mission. Health Care. Like most of this kind of thing, there’s grains of truth and it’ll play to your suspicions, but does it pass the sniff test?
Sarah Palin Steps Down
What’s next for former Governor Sarah Palin? I’m not sure that even she knows the answer to that question. Obviously she needed to get into a position where she could make enough money to defend herself. And regardless of what you think of her, this whole episode of resignation was an interesting exercise in what [...]
Polygamy and Divorce
It’s not a new concept. It’s stated in the book of Genesis that it didn’t take long from the point of creation for the first man to decide that he wanted to take to himself two wives. Shortly after that we have a situation where the patriarchs of the Israelite people had multiple wives and [...]
Loss of Innocence
It used to be that some things were left private. Discussed between parents and children at appropriate times, children were allowed to be children for as long as possible. Today, however, we have a culture that exposed to and trained in private things long before they have ever been taught before. I believe that sexual [...]
To Him, It’s All About Race
In some areas of the country, people treat others the same regardless of their skin. However, in what’s become the new norm, reverse racism is being applied from the highest office in the land without knowing all the details.
War
It was never meant to be entered into lightly, but only when the country was in agreement. The Founders knew that it would take time to vote to go to War, and therefore War would be entered into only if there was a large consensus. While it’s true that no Founder envisioned attack by air, [...]
A Two State Solution
Back in 1948, after World War II, the winners of that war created a state around the home land of Israel for the displaced and persecuted Jewish people. The people that were in that land—those from Egypt and Jordan—were told to leave. Except their home countries would not take them back, figuring that they were [...]
The Birth Certificate Rides Again
Just when you thought the Birth Certificate Controversy couldn’t get stranger… Not only does the man who was in the service and would not deploy get told he did not have to, but now there are disruptions taking place during town hall meetings. This is not going away…
An Overweight Surgeon General?
If you were to ask the American people for a list of the biggest health problems they believe the country faces, along with cancer and smoking would be “obesity.” Whether it’s really a problem or not, the media are fixated and focused on how much we weigh, and there are ads, game systems, and books [...]
Nothing’s Changed on the Health Care Debate
One of the interesting thing about politics and history is that it tends to repeat itself. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes stated that there was nothing new under the Sun, and he was right. There are two totally different philosophies that have been at work for thousands of years. All the way back to the Greeks [...]
The Greek Faith in Reason
The Greeks (or more specifically, the Ionian scientists) were the first to come up with a concept of “nature”—that it was something that we could know and that could be rationally explored. The Greeks believed that all nature could be understood, and that it was all there was to this world. They thought much like [...]
Being President Isn’t About How Well You Throw a Baseball
But sometimes, it’s the little things that are the most interesting. Former President George W. Bush after 9/11: President Barak H. Obama at first All Star game:
