I enjoyed the article by Michael Brown in Townhall, especially the part about Richard Dawkins. Dawkins: On the Origin of Species…Uh…With, oh, God, On the Origin of Species. There is a sub-title with respect to the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life. (Dawkins actually left out the “Natural Selection” part of the [...]

Is Halloween over?  Every time zone covered?  PHEW!  I am always glad that’s over. Today is All Saints Day.  I nod to my Catholic brethren today in their use of this special day to remember those who came before us in the faith, who believed in God and Jesus and lived the life, too.  They [...]

I used to get so much grief over my support of Cong. Paul from my own people:  Fellow believers in Christ.  They were against Paul’s foreign policy (they thought noininterventionism was isolationism and vaguely disloyal) and some thought he was not a consistent social conservative.  Some also felt that Paul was against Israel and not [...]

Whittaker Chambers (born Jay Vivian Chambers), the former communist operative who testified against Alger Hiss in 1948 was born 109 years ago today.  I remember reading Witness, Chambers’ famous confession.  It turned out to be a compelling read and convinced me he was telling the truth.  That was reluctantly confirmed by the liberal historian, Allen Weinstein in his [...]
