“Yet there is still a vast amount of talk about the isolated and uncommunicable spirit of the man of genius; about how he has in him things too deep for expression and too subtle to be subject to general criticism. I say that that is exactly what is not true of the artist. That is …
Applied Catholicity
“Thus Bishop Davenant, in his rules for peace, writes, ‘Those may not be cut off from communion with particular churchces who remain joined to the catholic church'” (Burroughs, Irenicum, p. 97).
But What About the Crusades?
“The major difference is this: Crusader atrocities contradicted the New Testament whereas Muslim atrocities were in accord with the Koran” (Richardson, Secrets of the Koran, p. 158).
Unworthy of a Weed
“But in substance what I said about the dandelion is exactly what I should say about the sunflower or the sun, or the glory which (as the poet said) is brighter than the sun. The only way to enjoy even a weed is to feel unworthy even of a weed” (G.K. Chesterton as quoted in …

Mark Steyn calls them ecochondriacs — people who are convinced of global warming and who are wailing on their guitars and beating their statist drums to a tune that Foreigner made popular way back in the day. URGENT. Unless we all take action NOW, we are all going to DIE, and it won’t FUNNY THEN. …
A PBS Whitewash
“With that, we can see that ‘Islam: Empire of Faith’ [a PBS special] totally covers up the truth about Mohammed—that he was a marauder, stealing other people’s property, having one innocent after another assassinated, ordering several hundred Jewish men beheaded, condemning captive women to spend their entire lives serving him and his followers as sex …
