Why sweet defiance? In Psalm 119:23, we are told, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” Now these are wonderful words in every believing ear. We could do some nice graphics work with it, no doubt — along with a picture of a beautiful sunset and beach, have …
A Few Trillion Back
So I watched Hannity’s interview with Sarah Palin last night, and had a few brief thoughts. No detailed defenses of anything here, although I am pretty sure we will all get into the deep weeds of that discussion again sometime. Here are just a few quick takes. First, she is clearly a very nice Christian …
How Many?
Owen Barfield once commented that what C.S. Lewis thought about everything was contained in what he said about anything. Lewis himself pointed to the opposite tendency somewhere when he said that modern men have been trained to have a dozen incompatible ideas bouncing around in their heads. But a Christian world and life view is …
We Need a Control Group
Well, the San Bernadino sting video is now out, and ACORN has got to be reeling. But before we stick a fork in this brand of community organizing and call it done, we still have to apply the scientific method. As fascinating as these journalistic methods are, we still need a control group. We have …
911
It has been eight years since the horrific attack on the World Trade Towers. If all you had to go on was our typical left/right tangled discussions of the event, you would conclude either that Obama struck the right note on his international apology tour, assuming in the background of his speech that America somehow …

President Zelaya was pushing through an unconstitutional referendum, designed to alter an unalterable part of the Honduras constitution — the part of their constitution prohibiting “strong man rule.” Their Supreme Court said referendum …

The Pie Topping Left
I have been quiet about Sarah Palin for a bit, not needing my comments count to soar into the stratosphere again, but I do want to give her a little bit of free advice. If you see her, pass this on, wouldja? You clearly won the round with David Letterman, but you were sailing a …
A Perennial Question
The Republican Party is now living in a moon crater, and lo, many are bumfuzzled about what to do. At the recent conservative hoodah thingy, where Rush whipped up the true-bluers, the winner of the presidential straw poll was Mitt Romney, of all people. Now many of the good folks there might have abstained, on …
Greedmonkeys Regulated by Powermonkeys
I wrote earlier in this place that the election of Obama would be a holy cow moment for American Christians. And thus far, so has it proven to be. Because of the monkeyshines of Bush-era “capitalists,” falsely so-called, the first place that Obama’s incompetence have been given a place to shine is in the realm …
