The blogosphere is lighting up with conversation and debate over Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's comments related to eugenics. In case you haven't heard, she said, Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have...

Tracking Church Crimes
The so-called "hate crimes" laws being considered in Congress and around the country pretend to be concerned about groups that have historically been targeted for crimes. Oddly enough, the list always includes homosexuals, even though it has not been proven that there systemic efforts of violence toward that group. Even more odd is the fact... Continue Reading →
Neda May Have Been Christian
According to this report from Jihad Watch, Neda Soltani, symbol of the Iranian protests, was a Christian. There are many implications from this information. Apparently, the picture of her which circulated around the world originally cropped out the cross she wore around her neck. See the picture and a more complete discussion at Get Religion. ...

Organic Beware
According to this article, organic may not actually mean organic. Be aware.
How Goofy Can the Greenies Get?
This article bemoans the fact that Obama's administration is not going to put a tax on cow burping. They attribute the lack of cow belching legislation to a powerful farmers lobby. First of all, it seems to me that it would have to be a ranchers lobby, rather than a farmers lobby. Nevertheless, the article... Continue Reading →
Must Read DeMint
I have linked here a letter that was written by Senator Jim DeMint, urging pastors specifically to be vocal in their opposition to so-called "hate crimes" legislation. As I have pointed out several times on this blog, hate crimes legislation is nothing but an anti-Christian powerplay to give those in power a sword with which... Continue Reading →
From Gitmo to Bermuda
Apparently, the plan to close Guantanamo is getting ugly. In this news article (which probably will not show up much in the mainstream), the point is plainly made that no one (a) thinks the fellows at Gitmo are innocent people who need a break; and (b) that the people housed at Gitmo are terrorists. People... Continue Reading →
A Good Reason to Close Gitmo
Here is a surprising insight from sort of a surprising source. Christopher Hitchens has a unique perspective on a really good reason to close the Guantanamo prison: It's a state-run Madrasah! From the story: The officers in charge were so pleased by this ability to show off their extreme broad-mindedness in respect of Islam that... Continue Reading →
Officially Insane
You will not believe this story. We have officially embraced insanity in an effort to be tolerant of Islam. The Apostle Paul speaks of the foolish heart being darkened by sin and thus unable to recognize any longer realities which once were patently obvious. This story is an illustration of just such a mental and moral... Continue Reading →
How Muslim Are We?
As my last blog post pointed out, President Obama appears to be reaching out to Muslims on a false pretense. Muslims need not necessarily be our enemies (except the ones who have taken that title to themselves); yet, Muslim is clearly not our identity either. I cannot see how to make advances in relationships by... Continue Reading →
Murder at a Church
As a Christian, I condemn what appears to be the murder of George Tiller at the morning services of his Lutheran Church. Obviously, like many Christians, I deplore Tiller's practice of abortion. He was one of the few doctors left in the country who would still perform late term abortions. I have no doubt but... Continue Reading →
Assisted Suicide
Have you seen this story about the Mr. Lai, a Chinese man who pushed a would-be jumper off a bridge in Guanzhou, China? According to the story, Mr. Lai got sick and tired of so much attention being given to the suicide attempt. So, he "assisted" the jumper by pushing him off the bridge. Ironically,...

Good for Us!
I just read this headline which says, "Evangelicals trail other faiths on global warming," and I say, Kudos to evangelicals! Then, I saw this headline, and I was again befuddled: "Christians call for greater action on earth day. " Once again, I have no problem with caring for the environment, planting trees, and keeping waterways... Continue Reading →
