When Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore defied an order from Federal Judge Myron Thompson in 2003, and refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building, he was summarily expelled from office under the pretense that America is a nation of laws, not of men.

Moore contended that those laws could ( Read more... )

As I write this, today feels like a day to just “vent,” so here goes…
I’m sick of hearing about high gas prices. The national media is obsessed with the issue, hoping that the more stories they run about big, evil, price-gouging oil companies versus poor, victimized, SUV-driving consumers, the more the American people simultaneously will learn to ( Read more... )

The third in a potentially never-ending “liberals are” generalization series focuses on how liberals are economically ignorant.
As usual, the term “liberal” is meant to included progressives, communists, socialists and all others on the political left that, if left to their own devices, would turn America into a place very much unlike traditional ( Read more... )

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have read a Dan Brown novel. Worse, I enjoyed it. I feel soiled, and I fear I may do it again. Am I doomed to dwell in Purgatory?
I haven’t read The Da Vinci Code, although I have read the prequel, titled “Angels and Demons.” The whole story takes place in just a couple of days, and it had me wound tighter ( Read more... )

Due to the considerable feedback I received in response to my previous article, “Liberals are Insane,” I’ve decided to continue my series of sweeping generalizations of liberals, today on how liberals are intellectually dishonest.

I am reluctant to toss another missive onto the ever-growing pile of gas-related commentary that has accumulated in the past few weeks, but since it seems to be on the top of almost everyone’s list of talking points, I just can’t help myself. The foolishness and shallow thinking that has been offered up by politicians and pundits on the subject of ( Read more... )

"United 93" surprised me. I was expecting a large dose of sentimentality, of sugary vignettes from the passengers' lives, along with a musically enhanced final battle scene.
The actual film is so much better than that. It is strikingly realistic. In fact, it contains not a trace of cheap sentiment, but rather transfixes viewers with its sharp ( Read more... )

Thinking of becoming a liberal? Consider the inconsistency and irrational thinking needed to embrace the liberal agenda ( Read more... )

There is no denying the pain felt at the pump as gas prices flirt with the $3.00 a Gallon mark. The life blood of this nation IS oil, whether we like or acknowledge it or not. So when gas prices rise there is a predictable rush to blame someone. Bill O'Reilly has been a crusader in the effort to blame the oil companies for "gouging". But is he ( Read more... )
