  • Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"

    All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Oh Hitchens, Off the Reservation Again, Are We?

    Hilary Clinton will make a great President, and it is only a matter of time now before that happens. I speak as the American who picked both her and Ronald Reagan for the job, so I think I know what I am talking about. Supporters of Obama and McCain will just have to get used to my choice of Hilary for President, just as I have had to accommodate ...

  • Peddling religious sensationalism

    There's an interesting article on this topic, situating Romney in the context of a variety of fraudulent claims currently being made about a number of religious and scientific issues, here: http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/jesus-judas-and-dead-sea-scrolls-peddling-religious-sensationalism-america

  • What Do Christian Republicans Want?

    Just finished ''God's Harvard.'' But it left one big question unanswered: If they had political power, what would these folks do with America? Let's say Christian Republicans win the presidency and veto-proof, fillibuster-proof control of Congress - what will they do? Obviously, abortion: outlawed. But beyond that, would I even recognize ...

  • Hanna Cops Out

    Hanna, you owe David Kuo an apology for bailing on the debate. What's more, I think your last-minute evasion shows the shallowness of your approach to writing about evangelicals. If you're going to be my guide to a group like Patrick Henry students, I expect you to think through their positions, digest them, and present the implications. To pose ...

  • Confessions of an evangelical

    This is the fourth time I've started a response to the Rosin/Kuo dialogue, and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the fourth time I discard a response as well. An examination of the role of evangelicalism in American civic life inevitably unearths the fumbling, awkward transformation of my own religio-political philosophy and forces me to deal ...
