Posted on November 08, 2010
Christian decline may be stalling... ...in England. The numbers showed Church of England attendance holding fairly steady since 2001 at just under 1.2 million. Catholic attendance leveled off in 2005 at a little more than 900,000, while Baptist Union attendance increased modestly since 2002 to nearly 154,000...

What a great week! Voters repudiate

Posted on November 06, 2010
What a great week! Voters repudiate big government. Republicans retake House.  Pelosi decides to run for Minority Leader so as to remind everyone of the "ugly face" of big govenment. And now Keith Olbermann is suspended without pay for ethical violations! Apparently, somebody at MSNBC decided that Olbermann was "shilling" for Democrats...

Posted on November 05, 2010
See Photo of Howard Dean not running for President by speaking in front of large crowd in Sacramento. Howard Dean announces he is not running for President. And after Obama closed Guantanamo, reformed immigration policy and ended the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy on gays, as promised so often, why would some of the big-money liberal northeasterners inside the Democratic party begin to

Posted on November 04, 2010
Two days after the election, Boston Herald Columnist declares that she's not voting for Barney Frank. Better late then never. Apparently, it was Barney Frank's graceless acceptance speech that finally turned Margery Eagan against Frank. After 30 years, Barney Frank finally lost my vote...

If only prison guards could marry..... This one is actually more indicative of a scenario that is surprisingly common and unfortunate in our internet age.  From the Fresno Bee: A former Avenal State Prison correctional officer pleaded no contest today in Fresno County Superior Court to a felony count of oral copulation involving a 15-year-old girl...

Taking Back Democracy. Voters

Posted on November 03, 2010
Taking Back Democracy. Voters in Iowa have tossed three of their Supreme Court Justices who divined a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. In California, the Supreme Court justices up for retention were retained, but in every case it was by a 60 - 30% margin, which suggests inchoate unhappiness with the judiciary.

Hush!  Professional Journalists

Posted on November 03, 2010
Hush!  Professional Journalists at Work! MSNBC's clowns show that they don't have a clue about why no one watches them. Chris Mathews explains that he never said that he "felt a tingle run up his leg" during an Obama speech. In fact, Matthews said that he felt a "thrill run up his leg...

The reason why Catholics are constantly hearing ridiculous nonsense about their faith.... ...is that some Protestant pastors actually teach that ridiculous nonsense. I previously mentioned Apologetics 315's link to a series of lectures by John MacArthur on the "Heresies of Catholicism...

New Atheist Aphilosophy. Michael Egnor deconstructs some really awful answer to basic question provided by New Atheist P.Z. Myers. Why is there anything? Myers: ? Nothing is unstable.

Can Christians be foster parents? In

Posted on November 02, 2010
Can Christians be foster parents? In England, that's an open question: Gay rights laws are eroding Christianity and stifling free speech, Church of England bishops warned yesterday. Senior clerics, including former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, spoke out ahead of a High Court ?clash of rights? hearing over whether Christians are fit to foster or adopt children...

Defending Constantine. This book

Posted on November 02, 2010
Defending Constantine. This book is definitely going on my "to get and read" pile - Peter Leithart's "Defending Constantine - The Twilight of Empire and the Dawn of Christianity." N.T. Wright's endorsement has me sold on the book: ?Too many people, for far too long, have been able to murmur the awful word Constantine, knowing that the shudder it produces will absolve them from the need to

Campaign Finance Reform is Bad

Posted on November 02, 2010
Campaign Finance Reform is Bad for Democracy. The Wall Street Journal declares that campaign finance reform is dying along with Russ Feingold's Senate career.  Insofar as it makes the "game-rigging" by incumbent politicians more difficult, this is probably a good thing: That failure was underscored recently by no less an expert than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who explained her party's troubles

Posted on November 01, 2010
Accusations of Racism have jumped the shark.

Posted on November 01, 2010
The Great War on Terror will probably see the final destruction of the Christian communities of the Middle East.... ...but...hey!...since they're only Christians, who cares? Periods of bloc warfare are bad for cultural minorities.  Anti-Semitism in Europe and Muslim Spain really didn't get going until the Crusades, for example...

The Legacy Media is Caught Again. Reporters

Posted on October 31, 2010
The Legacy Media is Caught Again. Reporters caught conspiring to concoct story designed to embarass Republican candidate Joe Miller. Clearly the reporters were conspiring to set up some type of smear of Joe Miller. With glee, they even cite a recent controversy over an incident involving the Rand Paul campaign, while discussing how they would spread the story via social media after whatever

Bloody Henry. Apologetics 315 has this link to Explaining the Heresy of Catholicism by John MacArthur.  MacArthur is supposed to be something of a heavy hitter in Protestant circles, but the two lectures I've listened to make me doubt that reputation...

Cuckolding - it's good for the mother... ....and who really cares about the putative father? From NRO: Sadly, this article (?Who?s the Daddy?? by Melanie McDonagh) lurks behind the London Spectator?s paywall. That?s a shame, because in its own quite astoundingly malevolent way, it?s not without interest...
