Taking Careful Aim
“A godly satirist should target lack of proportion, not exhibit lack of proportion (Matt. 23:24)” (Rules, p. 99)
The 5 Smooth Stones of Theocratic Libertarianism
Things in our public life together are gummed up enough that I believe we can openly call for radical reform. Whether we do or not, I think we are going to get the same treatment. We might as well respond with something that might actually help. Whatever the case, we will not be able to …

He was saying that the same sex mirage juggernaut has carried the day, and all conservatives are asking for now is the right to be left alone. …
Culture War — Now More Than Ever
In 1992, Pat Buchanan put the phrase “culture war” on the map with his speech at the 1992 Republican National Convention. Since that time, there’s been a lot of water under the bridge, but — we should be careful to note — it is all the same river. One of the things you may have …
