Ring Up the Devil?
I continue to be grateful for Preston’s continued engagement. Not only does he continue to engage, he does so in a very competent manner. Make no mistake, Preston is good. I wish I could say he was right on the central point, but that would be going too far. I am feeling charitable today, but …
Hundreds of Dead Canaries
So then, I recently received an (indirect) question about my use of language that “demeans.” Why do I speak, for example, about “gay activists” as though they were the enemy, the adversary, the foe? And the answer is that in a very important sense, they are the enemy — as testified by their unremitting onslaught …
Who You Gonna Call?
My sincere thanks to Preston Sprinkle for continuing our gun conversation, and I would also like to thank him for the robust manner in which he is continuing it. His latest is here. Now it is true that at Q Denver I did say that the only way to stop a bad guy with a …
The Apostle Peter and Open Carry
I mentioned earlier that I needed to respond more fully to Preston Sprinkle’s comment at Q Denver that the commentaries were “against me” in my understanding of Luke 22:35-38. After he made that comment, the commentaries I looked at were all over the road, but my part of the road was certainly included. Allow me …
Q Denver
A number of months ago I received a very gracious invitation to speak at the Q conference, this year to be held in Denver. I wrote back, saying that I was interested, but mentioned that they might want to google my name or something — for not everyone in their circles thinks I am wonderful. …
Laughter Duty
I threw the following tweet into the digital abyss the other day, and watched it flutter downward, ever downward, reminding me of one of those maple tree whirligig things. Anyhow, this is what I said. Those who cannot respond to examples of cultural madness with laughter are in the process of going mad themselves. And …
Review: The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson
The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson by David Barton My rating: 4 of 5 stars I decided I should read this because of my endorsement of Ted Cruz, and the association that Cruz has with Barton. I am going to be reading Throckmorton next, along with some of Barton’s …
But When Ahab Went Green, Israel Turned Brown
Today is Earth Day, and since I haven’t written about this foolishness for a while, let me do so now. You have been trained to think — although conditioned to think would be a more accurate way to say it — that the debate over environmentalism is a debate between those who want to take …
Liberté, égalité . . . Is It Still Legal to Say the Third One?
So ESPN sacked Curt Schilling because he shared a meme on Facebook that ran contrary to the current égalipée movement. I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right . . . actually, we don’t say that much anymore, do we? But I need to go on record …
