Lady Thatcher, as extolled by Drs. Clauson, Wheeler, and Haymond, was an all too rare political phenomenon. The clip above gives us a prime example of dignity while holding an elective office. Unfortunately, as noted by Mark Steyn here, our current President seems unwilling to say “no” in any similar context. We have seen the […]

Mark Steyn, the great polemicist, is at it again, with more information on the Kermit Gosnell house of horrors that masqueraded as a clinic. I am not sure I have much to contribute to the links and descriptions. I will warn you that this is not for the particularly sensitive. As I noted in an earlier […]

The Iron Lady Leaves with no Apparent Heir
08 Apr 2013
Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013) leaves the world a better place than the one she inherited as Prime Minister, but that fact does not diminish our need for her heir to emerge. Along with Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, the free world was blessed with a talented triumvirate possessed with a clarity of vision and […]

Bible Thumping as Public Policy
05 Apr 2013
Sometimes we call it “the good book,” but for Christians, the Bible is more than a book, it is THE BOOK. The Bible is the source of truth and the foundation for our lives. We believe it carries not just wisdom, but authority. The Bible, though, is not a blueprint for every aspect of our […]

Is Marriage a “Fundamental” Right?
27 Mar 2013
One of the matters lurking around the Supreme Court’s oral arguments this week is the degree to which marriage is a fundamental right. Gay marriage advocates argue that marriage’s fundamental nature demands that the state has an obligation to extend such a recognition to homosexual couples. Whenever a fundamental right is abridged, a strict scrutiny […]

The Tyranny of Gay Marriage
26 Mar 2013
The Supreme Court’s latest attempt to destroy republican government comes, this week, under the guise of equality. Gay marriage advocates find themselves before the highest Court, seeking to use the bench to achieve what has eluded them politically. To be successful, they will encourage the Court to overturn the past and empower itself at the […]

The Devolution of Abortion Rights
21 Mar 2013
While we are right to focus on the politics of the day, we too often, in our haste, forget our longstanding woes. Abortion is out of vogue in the current political climate, unless it is used as a club against its opponents. While Richard Mourdock and Todd Aiken still bear the scars of mis-statements (let […]
