So the Democratic National Committee has embarked on a campaign to make Rush Limbaugh the face of the Republican Party. Now, I’m not a Republican (and certainly not a Democrat), so in one sense, I don’t care, but what they’ve decided to do run a contest for people to send in 10-wor...

This nearly-25-year-old piece by Ronald Nash is absolutely tremendous in this day of Comrade Obama’s rush to socialism, explaining why unfettered capitalism–something I’ve never seen in my lifetime, by the way–is the most moral, most productive economic system possible. Socia...

I’m getting more than just a little tired of rich people being blamed and castigated and treated in some quarters of our society almost as pariahs. Rich people are the ones we need to raise taxes on, of course, because they have the money and can most afford to take the hit. Rich people probab...

It’s just one more case of the nincompoops whom we’ve elected hurriedly passing a sweeping law in the midst of a trumped-up “crisis” to counter a non-existent threat, with the upshot being a whole host of awful consequences, among them dealing significant blows to small busin...

So Arlen Specter (R*), the Wonder Senator from my former state of Pennsylvania, has apparently lost all touch with reality. In joining “Republicans” Olympia Snowe (R* - Maine) and Susan Collins (R* - Mainly Out to Lunch) to support the Pork-ulus Bill put supported by Comrade Obama and Na...

Comrade Obama Caps Top Execs’ Pay Yep, that’s an awful idea, incompatible with capitalism, but then again, it is preposterous that we’re bailing out these institutions to begin with, so I guess if we’re going to bail out these losers, and become socialists to that degree (tha...

Barack Obama has been my president for a week now. Yes, he is my president, because I am an American, and whether he was my choice or not, it is my responsibility as a citizen and as a Christian to pray for him and support him, not in every policy initiative or decision, but in the sense that we hav...

The Internet Monk surely has it right on this one: Christians, What are You Saying about the President? Though I have no plans to watch the inauguration myself, it’s surely not a bad thing to do, and I wouldn’t attempt to dissuade anyone from doing so. But more importantly, what we say&#...

besides the Bible, of course, may very well be a book entitled Idols for Destruction, by Herbert Schlossberg. Next time you run into an evangelical lefty, or for that matter a lefty of any stripe, a good question to ask would be, “so what do you think of Idols for Destruction?” If he giv...

Every now and then, it’s good to read a book that, going in, you expect to disagree with in large measure. For instance, though I’ve not bought any of the books written by the new “militant atheists�—and don’t intend to—I’ve perused some of their arguments, particularly those of Sam ...
