Unless you’ve been living in a cave lately, you might have noticed there seems to be an ongoing onslaught against our Judeo-Christian traditions and beliefs. It’s happening on virtually every front in our culture – in schools, in the media and movies, in the public arena. Many elitists today interpret the First Amendment in such a way as to turn…

“There is none as blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who chose to ignore what they already know.” According to what I could find during my two-minute Internet research session, the above saying is an old English proverb first attributed to Sir John Hayward in 1546. But the sentiments expressed could easily be…
All due respect to Adam, but his understatement is almost a scandal. We’ve posted a lot of incredibly stupid sound bites from MSNBC and other places around here, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a dumber exchange. I don’t know who the guy is making the astoundingly obtuse comparison between Jerry Falwell and a bunch of cold-blooded murderers but,…
In the wake of the terrorist attack on the offices of French satirist paper Charlie Hebdo, one Muslim cleric justified the murders under Islamic law. USA today published a column by avowed “radical Muslim cleric” Anjem Choudary. The piece titled “People know the consequences” asks why France would allow the paper to mock Islam, and further excused the systematic murders…
As they went on their rampage, the men who killed 12 people in Paris this week yelled that they had “avenged the prophet.” They follow in the path of other terrorists who have bombed newspaper offices, stabbed a filmmaker and killed writers and translators, all to mete out what they believe is the proper Koranic punishment for blasphemy. But in…
The city of Houston, which created a firestorm of controversy by issuing subpoenas for copies of pastors’ sermons in a case over a transgender “rights” ordinance, now contends the pastors have no right to a jury trial and wants a hand-picked “special master” to review the evidence. The dispute centers on tens of thousands of signatures collected on petitions to…
New Jersey substitute teacher, Walt Tutka, was fired earlier this year by the Phillipsburg School District for handing a Bible to a student who requested it. When the young man was last to enter through a door, Mr. Tutka told him, “The first shall be last, but the last shall be first.” The student repeatedly inquired, over the course of…
Twelve people were killed today at the Paris office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo for mocking Islam and the Prophet Mohammed and thereby offending their murderers. Let us therefore begin by considering blasphemy and other offenses. Someone who kills another human being for blasphemy grievously offends his own God. God will respond to insults in His own good…
PARIS (AP) — Masked gunmen stormed the Paris offices of a weekly newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammad, methodically killing 12 people Wednesday, including the editor, before escaping in a car. It was France’s deadliest postwar terrorist attack. Shouting “Allahu akbar!” as they fired, the men also spoke flawless, unaccented French in the military-style noon-time attack on the weekly newspaper…
Republicans blasted President Barack Obama on Tuesday for threatening to veto the $5.4 billion Keystone XL pipeline, charging him with pandering to liberal environmentalists instead of passing legislation that has strong bipartisan support in Congress. “President Obama’s veto threat comes as no surprise,” said Sen. John Hoeven, the North Dakota Republican who co-sponsored the legislation. “He has held the Keystone…
John Boehner is getting revenge. After he secured his third term as speaker Tuesday afternoon, losing 25 votes on the House floor to some relatively unknown members of the Republican Conference, Boehner moved swiftly to boot two of the insurgents from the influential Rules Committee. That could be just the start of payback for the speaker’s betrayers, who might see…
