  • Why John McCain should put Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court.

    While you are at the moral high horse it is a good idea to have look at the following subjects. The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That’s why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men ...

  • The 3 responses a creationist has to this type of evidence

    Christopher - I recall you saying in a debate that when you are against a creationist, you find it best to ''highlight and underline'' this point rather then argue it. I have occasionally accepted the putrid distinction of arguing (not 'debating') the evolution case in front of creationist audiences (at the grandiloquent Liberty University) and I ...

  • The Unnatural candidate for anyone with Christian morals

    I am sorry if my remarks may seem too harsh to some but the truth will set you free! As a Christian (Catholic) I can not vote for a candidate that has no problem denying medical care to victims of botched abortions, to be specific he vote in the Illinois legislature to deny medical aid to an infant that had survived an abortion attempt...so ...

  • 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. ...

  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

  • Popery

    One of my 1st memories, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a parish priest preaching a sermon on the Vatican's treaty with Italy's Fasciasts & how it helped the RC' minister to a war torn world. The church was in the Arcdioces of Cincinasty. The Archbishop was an avid analiguist for & to Pius 12. He even named a high school for ...

  • hitchens on hanukkah

    Christopher Hitchens' article, ''Bah, Hanukkah,'' December 3rd in Slate woke this atheist Jew from his slumbers. Hitchens would have it that I have been asleep over my oil-drenched latkes, asleep over the Hanukkia, asleep, yes, but much worse. I have apparently been, for sixty years now, and Jews have been for a couple of millennia, ...

  • If you run on your beliefs you better defend them

    The Romney's and the Huckabees and the Bushes of the world want us to think that they are good people because they believe in God. This may or may not be true. They may not be good people. They may be bad people, because of their beliefs, they may be good people in spite of their beliefs or they may be good people because of their beliefs, but if ...

  • Secularism isn't bad, but the religion of it.

    ''Romney rooted the speech in the literature of America’s civil religion. When he said ''Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom,'' he was paraphrasing Tocqueville: ''Despotism may be able to do without faith, but freedom cannot.'' His criticism of ''the religion of secularism'' recalled a radio address by President Reagan. ...

  • Fine for Faithists...

    Romney avoided the screwy side of Mormons just like JFK avoided the screwy side of Catholicism. But that's what we wanted to know -- that he's just another religious side-talker. His real religion is status, and he doesn't care how he gets it. What he ISN'T is honest, and I sure don't need another guy in office who thinks government is run by ...
