“We are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.” So declared the U.S. Supreme Court in Zorach v. Clauson (1952). In an earlier decision, Rector of the Holy Trinity v. United States (1892), the Supreme Court said: “[Americans are] a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to […]
The United States under the Biden administration is using the force of government to harass the late Phyllis Schlafly’s group in Alabama. In recent months, the Eagle Forum of Alabama has helped write legislation in that state to protect children with gender confusion from receiving “treatment” that could permanently damage them. In his End of […]
I remember a 10-year-old girl in school who came home one day proudly wearing a big button that declared, “I’m for sharing.” But when she starting munching on a candy bar, her dad asked her if he could have a bite. She said, “No. It’s mine!” And he said, “Well, then stop wearing a button […]
Well, as of last week, it’s official. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has dissolved (at least for now) its “disinformation board.” Some critics have called this the “Ministry of Truth,” as in George Orwell’s classic novel about a dystopian, totalitarian future, 1984. The agency was to be engaged in “countering disinformation that threatens the […]
Is God making a comeback in some of the public schools of Texas? A news item last week gives a glimmer of hope that it may be so. 60 years ago this summer, the Supreme Court effectively banished God from the public schools. They did this in the first anti-school prayer case. On June 17, […]
In 2002, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals created a firestorm by declaring that the Pledge of Allegiance was supposedly unconstitutional—because of the phrase, “under God.” At the time many on both sides of the aisle were upset by this decision. Republican President George W. Bush noted, “this ruling is ridiculous.” He added that this […]
My wife just came back from a routine grocery store run. She said, “These people are destroying the country.” She wasn’t talking about the store—she was talking about our elite political class that are spending our country into high inflation. And now they are poised to spend even more. They have just passed a bill […]
For 42 years American school children have been subject to a barrage of misinformation about our American history. This has helped cause many of them to hate America. And virtually every day we read about the results. For example, there’s a curriculum clash in one of our nation’s most conservative states. On Friday, Gary Bauer […]
Tragically, slavery has been around from the beginning of time. It is still practiced even today in some places where Christianity is not dominant or has not been dominant. But while slavery was a fact of life in the 1700’s—not only in colonial America, but all over the world—it was the system put in place […]
Did you read in the news about the three mosques in the U.S. that were set on fire just the other weekend? Did you hear in the mainstream media about the scores of attacks, including some firebombings, of the Planned Parenthood facilities by pro-life extremists? Did you hear about the harassment of the pro-abortion politicians […]
There is evil abroad in the land, and it’s a cancer to our society. Any naïve belief in the inherent goodness of man was shattered on July 4th, 2022 in Highland Park, Illinois. What would possess—and that’s exactly the right word—a young man with his whole life ahead of him to take to the roof […]
Why the violent reaction to Roe v. Wade being overturned? You would think that in effect the decision was anti-democracy (as many on the left claimed). But it was pro-democracy. Based on the riots and the backlash from Hollywood, you would think that the Supreme Court took the right of the people to rule themselves […]
Ever since the unprecedented leak of an early draft of the Dobbs decision from the Supreme Court which may overturn Roe v. Wade, the “shock troops of tolerance” have been busy interrupting church services. And they have done much destruction of crisis pregnancy centers. They claim to be “pro-choice,” but choice involves options. And these […]
As the debate over abortion rages, with the Supreme Court poised to possibly overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 pro-abortion ruling, I find myself wondering: How can anybody claim that God is in favor of abortion? But some do. Or how can they claim that the issue is important, but not really that important? Francis […]
A recent visit to a museum of modern art got me thinking about how much of it is meaningless. Ecclesiastes begins with these famous words: “Vanity of vanities…All is vanity.” All is meaningless. As a book in the Bible, Ecclesiastes is a terrific precursor to the Gospel of Christ. It shows us how life apart […]
