I ran across this post tonight concerning the “Are Mormons Christians?” debate. If this is legitimate, then maybe we can finally get on to some real theological discussion. You see, I believe that Evangelical Christians say that Mormons aren’t Christian to avoid further debate. When someone says Mormons aren’t Christian, the first response from Mormons [...]

Andrew Sullivan’s Bigotry
Andrew Sullivan, in his post for today, wonders if Orson Scott Card would vote for an Islamist over a liberal Christian because they, too, are serious about their religion. It’s a nonsensical question. He misses Card’s point completely. Card says he would NOT vote for a Mormon who is not committed to his faith, and [...]

Why Fred Thompson?
Before I get into this, I want to establish a couple of qualifiers. First, I like Fred Thompson. He seems to be a personable, likable guy. He doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, and he gives the impression of being very confident in himself and his abilities.

There was one post with which I was particularly interested, entitled “Mommy, what’s a gulag?” I was interested to see what would cause someone to bring up the subject of the gulag in today’s [...]

Prosecutorial Misconduct
As you well know, Mike Nifong has been disbarred and a judge has ruled that he may be dismissed from his office immediately. I found it interesting that the judge would not let him remain in office for the last month he had planned to stay to wrap things up after resigning at the disbarment [...]

Watch this…
Some have called it prophetic. Others say it was a lucky guess. As for me, it marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union; Ronald Reagan knew exactly what he was doing. The folks at Young America’s Foundation has provided the video of Ronald Reagan’s speech at the Brandenburg Gate. I would recommend [...]

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
It was 20 years ago this June 12th. I was just out of high school then. I remember watching the speech at the Brandenburg gate on television and the fall of the Berlin Wall and thinking that a new era of peace was being ushered in. Suddenly all my fears of nuclear war were fading, [...]
