I don’t gamble, unless you count investing in stocks gambling. I visit Las Vegas at least once each year. I’ve never put a penny in a slot machine, played Black Jack, or spun a roulette wheel. I take advantage of inexpensive hotel rooms (Mon. thru Fri.), great food, shopping, and

Richard Dawkins is the atheist that keeps on giving. Every time he opens his mouth, he spews out absurdities that allow me to write articles about them. The world renowned atheist is excited that there has been such a dramatic religious shift in the United Kingdom that religion is now

If you’re a Democrat, then you will be for homosexual marriage if Nancy Pelosi gets her way. Keep in mind that every state that has voted on homosexual marriage has turned it down, including the very Democrat state of California. It’s been the courts that have overturned the will of

54% of Catholics voted for Obama in 2008. Now the Catholic Bishops are screaming bloody murder because of contraception mandates. Maybe it’s only the 46% that didn’t vote for him who are doing the screaming. What about the Catholic bishops? They got behind Obamacare like they got behind every so-called

Perhaps you’ve noticed that buildings in Washington D.C., with their columns and facades, are reminiscent of Roman architecture. Interestingly, some early American political writers called themselves by Roman names. The authors of The Federalist, a collection of 85 essays written in favor of the Constitution, did not use their real

I was surfing through Facebook looking for some good articles to comment on, and I came across this post with an accompanying sign: “If God didn’t make gays, there wouldn’t be any.” Most of the hundreds of comments I read didn’t see how absolutely illogical this attempt at being logical

“POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER — never forget that it is from a fascination of the limits and manipulations of Power that keep people interested in this book.”1 These are words from Francis Ford Coppola’s notebook that he used in preparation for filming The Godfather, based on the book of the

I don’t watch The View. But every morning, I drive to my mother’s apartment to check on her and dispense her daily medication. On Wednesday morning, The View was on. The topic was the “decision by a Texas judge to uphold a law requiring women to look at an ultrasound

Here’s the way politics works: Liberals overreach and conservatives compromise. In the end Liberals win. Liberals will propose a ten percent tax increase, and Republicans will settle for five, the very number Democrats hoped to get. It might take Liberals longer to get to their goal, but they know that

A reference to God that appears on the patch logo for the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) has been removed. The patch logo was changed after a military atheist group, the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, protested the reference to God. The patch had a saying on it

The film Planet of the Apes (1968) has some classic lines. The most famous is “Get your paws off me, you damned dirty apes.” AFI’s “100 Movies . . .  100 Movie Quotes” lists it at #66. A line not on the list, but one I use on a regular

One of the universal laws of economics is “Whatever you subsidize, you get more of it.” Joe Biden was asked if government subsidies have had an impact on tuition cost hikes. Here’s what the Vice President said: [G]overnment subsidies have impacted upon rising tuition costs. It’s a conundrum here. But

I just got back from speaking at a Christian Worldview conference. I addressed the issue of Christian activism and the excuses Christians use for not getting involved. While the conference was going on, news was coming out that the church may have awakened from its slumber: Catholic leaders . .

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

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being raked over the coals for her comments about the use of the U.S. Constitution in a post-Mubarak Egypt. She said the following in an interview on Egyptian television: Q: Would your honor’s advice be to get a part or other countries’ constitutions as a model,

The reaction to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for dropping its financial support for Planned Parenthood was staggering but expected. Liberals are always incensed that someone from the guild would tamper with one of their sacramental institutions. I predicted that outside pressure would force the Komen Foundation to change its

Don’t you just love it when Liberals turn to the Bible for support of their policies? How many times have you heard Liberals tell us that “Jesus never got mixed up in politics” or “We’re not supposed to Judge” or “You can’t impose your morality on other people” or “There’s

It’s been said that the way a question is framed is enough to get the answer you are looking for. If I ask, “Do you believe a woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body,” most people would say “yes.” But if I ask, “Do
