Liberals have a few political patron saints, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, to name just four. Some might say Barack Obama, but his halo is beginning to tarnish. He’s still in the running. It’s hard for liberals to reject a political messiah that they

There are consequences to what a person believes. Unfortunately, many people don’t often work out the full implications of those beliefs to see where they lead if consistency prevails. It’s one of the reasons we have poverty and drug addiction. Not gaining a skill early in life of work-habit experience

My article “Lesbian Denied Haircut by Male Muslim Barbers” got some attention. I was interviewed by Peter Boyles on “The Peter Boyles Show” that broadcasts out of Denver on 710 KNUS. You can listen to it here. The Canadian barber story got international attention when the Muslim barbers of the

Joe Arpaio is known as America’s Toughest Sheriff, a title “given to him years ago by the media. It’s a name he certainly has earned as head of the nation’s third largest Sheriff’s Office which employs over 3400 people.” “In 1992, Arpaio successfully campaigned to become the Sheriff of Maricopa

The Bible is a convenient prop for liberals. They’ll quote it when they can find something in it what they can twist to support one of their pet projects. The latest is President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative. “After months of conversation with a wide range of people, we’ve pulled

Dr. Bill Leonard is the founding dean and professor of Church History at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He holds the B.A. from Texas Wesleyan College (1968), the Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (1971), and the PhD from Boston University (1975). He

Forbes reports that today’s liberalism is about shutting down debate. We’ve “reached the point,” Steven F. Hayward writes, “where you can’t criticize the welfare state any more. Criticism of welfare programs today get you marked out as a racist. And that’s not the only subject that the Left is trying to mark

The scene must have been horrific. At least 33 people (the number keeps changing) “were killed in a ‘violent terrorist attack’ at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming by a group of unidentified people brandishing knives, five of whom were shot dead, state media said on

What was the trigger that led Vladimir Putin think he could get away with what President Obama says is a “clear violation” of Ukraine’s sovereignty even after a 90-minute phone call in which “Obama . . . called Russia’s actions a ‘violation of international law’ and said they will lead

Somehow I missed an article from the March 2013 issue of Church & State, a publication of the anti-Christian organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The title of the article is designed to strike fear in the hearts of liberals everywhere and increase donations. (Americans United learned

This story’s from Canada. But don’t worry, before you know it, a similar thing will happen in the United States. It will be interesting to see how liberals and their willing judicial accomplices will respond. “Barbers in Toronto who refused to cut a woman’s hair have become the target of

The latest story making the rounds is a letter from “a Millennial” who has had a “change-of-heart on gay rights/ssm [same-sex marriage].” There’s nothing new for me in this letter. I’ve been harping on these issues for nearly 40 years. It’s what I do. Christians disengaged from culture decades ago

We were all Millennials once. That is, we were all in a particular age group, and we had beliefs about all kinds of things. But what did we really know? We knew we didn’t want to fight in a foreign war like Vietnam. But other than that, most of what

When I first read the article “5 Reasons We Don’t Send Our Kids to Christian Schools (but you might, and should),” I thought it might be satire. I contacted the author and he informed me that it wasn’t. So here goes. For what it’s worth, the first thing I noted

One of the most thankless jobs in America today is being the president of a college or university. Not only do you have to contend with coddled tenured professors, but you have to answer why the football team did not have a winning season. Big bucks flow from football frenzied

Finally, some blacks are beginning to speak up about the argument that the Civil Rights struggle is similar to people who want to be recognized as a special legally protected class because of the type of sex they engage in. It’s remarkable that many people can’t see the difference. It’s

In the 1979 film Breaking Away, bicycling enthusiast and racer Dave, played by Dennis Christopher, would tell his friends, family, and anybody who would listen that “the Italians are coming,” a reference to the Italian bicycling racing team that will be competing in a race in his hometown of Bloomington,

Where’s Photoshop when you need it? German chancellor Angela Merkel is in Israel visiting Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. A photo was published showing Netanyahu pointing his finger. The shadow falls neatly above Merkel’s upper lip giving the impression that she has a very dark mustache. Not just any mustache,
