I indicated recently that Trump was a presidential non-starter, and I would like to say just a few things about that. If I may. The Trump phenomenon/boomlet is reality television meets celebrity buzz meets annoyance on immigration meets faux defiance of political correctness meets hot first lady with nude pics on the Internet meets the …
7 Questions for Those Who Want Money for People With Minds That Hate . . .
Let me get this straight. 1. You are the group that wants drivers working for FedEx and UPS to be unknowingly carrying around boxes with baby parts in them, babies who were killed for the sake of those parts, AND you want to be the enlightened, progressive group? 2. You are the party that wants …
Liberal Like Me
The next video is up. No graphic images this time — just more chilling testimony. I have been saying that one of our central tasks in the unfolding Planned Parenthood mess is to make defenders of the indefensible try to defend it. This can go one of two ways — either they back away from …
Got No Secrets to Conceal
We are not that far into the Planned Parenthood calamity, but I think we are far enough into it to ask the secularists how they like being on the wrong side of history. And as Dylan once put it in Like a Rolling Stone, “you got no secrets to conceal. How does it feel?” It …

The Ethics of Righteous Video Sting Operations
So let me tell you right at the beginning what I think of the ethics of video sting operations (like the #PPSellsBabyParts story from last week). After telling you what I think about it, I want to lay out a biblical case for it. The story caught Planned Parenthood by surprise, along with a bunch …

They All Involve Hills
Dear Pastor, You now have a limited number of options before you, and they all involve hills. You can determine to fight the current progressive overreach, or you can try to avoid doing so.
