Other Men’s Goods

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

“Wo unto you apoor men, whose hearts are not broken, whose spirits are not contrite, and whose bellies are not satisfied, and whose hands are not stayed from laying holdкомпютри upon other men’s goods, whose eyes are full of bgreediness, and who will not clabor with your own hands!” –D&C 56:17
“They shall not build, and [...]

The Reign of the Judges

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

“…and thus they did destroy the government of the land.”  -3 Nephi 7:2
The California State Supreme Court this week struck down the public initiative, passed overwhelmingly in 2000, which strictly defines marriage as between a man and a woman. The precedent is historic and frightening. The effect of this ruling is to say that four [...]

Mormons and Catholics to Blame for Global Warming

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

“For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare;” (D&C 104:17)
The conclusion drawn by Oliver “Buzz” Thomas in USAToday is frightening. In his April 21st editorial, “Might our religion be killing us?“, Mr. Thomas openly states that among others Mormons, with our encouragement for large families, and Catholics, with their opposition to [...]

A Conversation between a Leftist and a Mormon

Friday, January 18th, 2008

My friend Nate Walker is an excellent thinker with a near-flawless memory. I’ve never met anyone with a greater talent for distilling a situation down to its core principles. He recently handed me a few pages of his travel diary that documented this conversation with a liberal taxi driver with a Ph.D. while traveling in [...]

Harry Reid’s BYU Visit

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

The fine folks over at Uncorrelated have a couple of good points about Sen. Reid’s visit to BYU. Harry Reid tried to pass himself off as a moderate Democrat to remain in good standing with the BYU crowd, but according to a fellow DCS member who was in attendance at the program, several points were [...]

The Next Generation

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Dean Barnett, a regular at Hugh Hewitt’s blogsite, has written an excellent piece for The Weekly Standard on the newest generation of American soldiers and their peers.
Of course, the expected backlash is both abundant and revealing.
Dean is spot on when he says, “the 2,000 word story was about the 9/11 Generation, not the Baby Boomers. [...]

Liberal Apologetics for Hitler, et al.

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Boy, I thought I had seen it all.
Here’s a post from Peter Mehlman at the Huffington Post called “At least they didn’t mean well…”
It puts everything I have ever suspected about liberals right up front: they think decent people doing their best are intentionally bad, and they find excuses for the truly evil among us. [...]

The Left’s War with America

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I spent some time Sunday morning browsing the posts from the folks at blah3.com. Man, those guys have some real issues. 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 [...]
