One of my habits is to read books and articles about social and political trends that were predicted more than 25 years ago to see how well the prognosticators did. I used to love to read Popular Mechanics magazine and the stories that were published about what the future will

College professors have a lot of control over students. They can make or break a student’s career by manipulating his or her grades, failing a student for not holding politically correct positions, or even refusing to graduate a student who does not believe that homosexuality is morally and clinically normative.

As I mentioned in a previous article, things are beginning to unravel for the Obama Administration. The center can’t hold. The media have done everything in their limited power to keep his administration from imploding. Now there are events happening around the world that are beyond their control. They’re still

The following was posted in the comment section of Godfather Politics: 1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by: a. Superman b. Jay Leno c. Harry Potter d. A Muslim male between the ages of 17 and 40 2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and

There have been some awful anti-Christian art pieces and films in the past few decades. Where were our government officials and the Hollywood “holier-than-thou” literati crowd when artist and photographer Andres Serrano unveiled his “Piss Christ”? It was a photograph of a “small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of

Liberal radio talker Randi Rhodes trumpeted on her show that the GOP and Conservative Talk Radio Want to “Piss Away” Arab Democracy. Here are some of her comments: “You have Republicans who never trusted the people — they don’t like people, they don’t trust people, they trust corporations. You get

Philip Hodges presents an interesting argument that the anti-Muhammad film that is causing radical Muslims to go insane may have been created by Muslims in an attempt to indict the Christian West and Jews who are conspiring against the Muslim world. This wouldn’t be the first time something like this

Americans have short memories or no memory of all since many stories never make it to the evening newscasts. In 2003, Christian evangelist Hridoy Roy was murdered by a gang of eight men who attacked him at his home. The assailants stabbed Roy repeatedly after tying him “crucifixion style” to

The government makes it very easy to bring on prosperity. Print more money. If that’s always the solution, then why not do it sooner, bigger, and faster? The Federal Reserve has decided to pump more funny money into the economy. On cue, the stock market rallied: “The Federal Reserve fulfilled

The filmmaker of the anti-Islam film lives in the United States. If this is true, then why is our government tracking down any filmmaker for any reason? Let’s rehearse the First Amendment for our government officials: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free

The President and his liberal compatriots were excited to see the Arab Spring bring democracy to a nation like Egypt. There is no doubt that the presidency of Hosni Mubarak was corrupt and needed to be changed. Riots in the streets don’t breed confidence. It would be like putting the

The Bible has a great deal to say about words and how they are used. It also has a great deal to say about deeds. Consider the following in light of the way President Obama and his fellow-liberals speak about Islam and how they speak about Christianity. As you read

The lawyers are now involved in the so-called Batman shootings that took place in Aurora, Colorado. They plan to argue that the theater was negligent when the shooter entered the theater unobstructed and killed 12 and wounded 58 in the July 20th shooting at the Cinemark Century 16 Theater. One

If there was one thing Jesus despised more than anything else it was hypocrisy. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

Because of Godfather Politics’ large audience, we receive a lot of referral articles, websites to check out, and just some plain fun stuff that brightens our day in a time of political darkness. Somebody who’s a lot more clever than I am wrote the following. (My addition is on Bureauacritizatium.)

In an interview with Mitt Romney, David Gregory confronted the GOP nominee with this comment about foreign policy experience: “[President Obama] used some pretty tough words in talking about you, saying you and Paul Ryan are, quote, ‘New to foreign policy. Want to take us back to an era of

The polls don’t look that great for Romney at this time. A couple of polls have Obama up five points. I don’t understand how President Obama’s approval rating is around 42 percent and yet 49 percent of voters say they’re going to vote for him again. I suspect that there

You’ve heard anti-Republican critics say, “I just can’t vote for the lesser of two evils.” If this is true, then you can never vote since we’re all evil, although some are more evil than others. I have a number of Calvinist friends who use the “lesser of two evils” argument.
