I know that some of my readers come in and out, and I know that others are regulars, checking in on some kind of schedule. For those who drop in occasionally, depending on what publishing event draws them, it is possible for you to get wildly disparate ideas of what is going on here. I …
The Huffington Puffington Post
So it is apparently time to have a little bit of fun with The Huffington Post. I got a call a week or so ago from a HuffPo reporter, who interviewed me about the founding of Logos School, along with the founding of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. The interview was going along merrily, …
On Divorcing the Democrats
Let us begin by granting that American blacks are the battered spouse in an abusive relationship. There are aspects to the analogy that are very easy to see—because the bruises are so readily identifiable. The abuse is very real. But because it is an analogy that compares groups containing millions of people with a marriage …
The Seated Colin Kaepernick
There is the logic of the thing, which can be briefly discussed, and then there is the fact of show business. I am speaking of the seated Colin Kaepernick. The logic of the thing is pretty straightforward. Colin Kaepernick has the absolute right to remain seated for the national anthem, without fear of fines, penalties …
So You Can Play With Your Ears
I would like to begin by commending this interview of Michael Munger by Russ Roberts. They are discussing the shifting attitudes of white Southerners on slavery in the ante bellum period. Slavery began as a necessary evil and by the 1830’s wound up being thought of as a positive good. How did that happen? This …
Repentance Made Vile
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). Repentance is a gift that can be given to individuals, but it is not limited to that. When reformation and revival break out, and it the genuine …
Not Worth the Candle
Bojidar has replied to my reply here. After reading over his latest, I want to say just three quick things before hitting the road. For any number of reasons, I see no real future in this discussion. All I want my three points to do is show that if there were ever a future in …
Just the Facts, Ma’am
Bojidar Marinov has a little fun with me here, wishing that I would become more of a plagiarist than he pretends to believe I already am. He wishes that in my Dirty Cops post I had plagiarized from an article he wrote about the Brown and Garner cases. However, after thinking about it deeply, and …
Dirty Cops
Everyone knows that dirty cops exist. We all know that somewhere, somehow, some cops are on the take, some are morally incompetent, some are on a power trip, some disable their body-cams before taking care of business, and so on. Anyone who believes that dirty cops can’t exist is someone who is unaware of the …
Cracking Down on Crackers
Over the years, as I have written on culture and race, I have had to write on two fronts. In order to engage with the MSNBC-approved narrative, I need to engage with the Black Lives Matter kind of evil, which is all the thing these days. It is evil and popular with the cool kids. …
