REFLECTIONS

Instapundit has been linking to a lot of stories about prejudice against Mormons:  http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/144097/ I must say though, I can actually understand having negative feelings about Mormons.  After all a Mormon murdered Robert Kennedy because of his support for Israel.   The Olympic games became an armed camp because of the Momons who killed the [...]

No, sorry if I got your hopes up I am not converting, I am taking a stand for Liberty, the First Amendment, for whatever shreds of The Constitution are left in this country.  The Secretary of Health and Human Services as decreed that the Catholic church will surrender it’s principles in the name of the god [...]

If you are wondering what deep thoughts I have about the revolutions in the Arab world, rent Lawrence of Arabia.  When you get to the point where someone says “you are a little people barbarous and cruel,”  I’m done.  That’s as deep as my thoughts go. It amazes me how many people are convinced the [...]

While visiting an art museum the Burkeanson was able to tell all the stories of Greek and Roman Mythology and the Old Testament, but he knew very little of the stories from the life of Christ.     He has read of Jesus and his impact in history books, but he knew very little of the parables and [...]

During the immediate past century the Progressives (Socialists to those of us less politically correct about such nonsensical ideas) had throw the world in continuous warfare over misguided pursuits of re-making man into Marx’s wet-dream. We are told of the Germans and Russians foolish attempt with the “Progressives” approval of the latter’s attempts. Little news [...]

Juan Williams was fired for saying what most Americans think but are afraid to say out loud.  Because in the land of free speech, some speech is more free than others.  I get nervous when I fly with Muslims, or ride a bus or train.  Am I an Islamaphobe?  Muslims have been brutally killing people [...]

ENJOY LIFETHERE IS NO AFTER-LIFE That was the billboard I saw this week as I was speeding north on US-26 just outside of Watertown, Wisconsin. At my car-speed I just barely saw the sponsor of it: I think it was call `freedom from religion.’ Playing the devil-advocate (an apt title in this case) I thought: [...]

It almost always is. In the case of the “Ground Zero Mosque” debate however, this quickly gets lost amongst the “we have a right to build it” vs. the “it’s hallowed ground, move it” arguments. Sure, they may indeed have the right to build there, but the key really is this: they ask — nay, [...]

One thing that many Americans forget is the people from different cultures are, well … different. What we see as cooperative and supportive some others see as weak. If we are going to be true to the multiculturalist ideal, then we have to learn to address those other cultures on their own terms. For example, [...]

Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1st World Trade Center bombers, states the truth, bold and unflinching.  Such an Islam, over nine long years, would have risen up and made itself heard. It would have identified by name and condemned with moral outrage the imposters purporting to act in its name. It would have honored America’s [...]

Professor Hanson says everything so much better than I ever could I don’t know why I blog instead of just posting links to him.  We are reaching the point where the damage done to America’s image by 50 book-burners is outweighed by the damage done by hypersensitivity on the part of the United States government, [...]

After spending all morning trying to properly frame a response to our webmaster’s comments on the Koran, I go over to Pajama’s media and find out that John Adams said it better than I ever could 200 years ago.  Adams states that Mohammed is “a military fanatic” who “denies that laws were made for him; [...]

In recent times, destroying the sacred objects of whom one think of as non-believers to one’s own belief system has become very popular. I understand the fruitlessness in convincing other people, who disrespect one’s own sacred things, to be civil. [from 1995 to 2003 I attempted to remind some of my fellow Townhall chatters to [...]

Oh for Pete’s sake!  Obama is not a Muslim.  He’s not a Christian.  He’s a statist.  Obama’s god is Government, and he shall have no God before it. I know a lot lefties who are devouted Christians.  They are quite sure Jesus is a Democrat and when said to feed and shelter the poor he meant Government [...]

A thought upon the @AnneRiceAuthor media-play. In the latter half of the late-century, there has been a divorce between establish religions and spirituality. With the increase governmental involvement into our lives it should not surprise me of my fellow countrymen have replaced spirituality with freedom of expression etc. Some of us are thinking too much [...]

The tension between us is far beyond the boiling point despite this President’s hypish-promotion since the last election for ‘change we can believe in.’ The loudest and wider-spread of hate-speech is among the radical left-wingers. The widest spread of public notice is when supposedly one of our own screws-up and acts like a jackass. I [...]

I can’t help but notice that some hate crimes are more equal than others.  When Mel Gibson spewed the foulest hatred against Jews, his Hollywood pals defended him.  Some conservatives defended him as well.  But one use of the dreaded “n” word and his agent drops him cold and no one rushes to his defense.
