President Obama simply can’t resist taking shots at Republicans anytime something bad happens (to foreclose any response from those who will reply that Republicans do it too, I will challenge that if you wish). In this case it was the Baltimore riots, which by now everyone knows about. In his press conference today, the president […]

Bruce Jenner and the Radical LGBT Movement
26 Apr 2015
I caught a snippet of former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner’s interview about his transgender journey—not to mention its exaltation by the networks, even ESPN. One thing Jenner said however, I did appreciate. He said that he and anyone else ought to have the right to pursue their goals (a paraphrase) as they choose. He apparently […]

The Berean Foundations
16 Apr 2015
This blog may seem redundant, since I have published similar pieces before. But from time to time I believe our readers need to see articulated the foundations for our positions. I believe I represent the basic philosophical and theological position of my Berean colleagues, though they would most certainly be more concise. In the past […]

A Different/Similar Take on the Indiana Law
01 Apr 2015
This blog serves as somewhat of a response to Mark Smith’s blog. It is different however in that it deals primarily with legal and broader theological issues. By now most know something about the stir in Indiana—I can feel the reverberations from across the border—concerning the recently passed state law protecting those with religious […]

Ted Cruz, Rights and the Media
30 Mar 2015
Looks like the Media—short for Mainstream Media or MSM—are at it again, this time getting hot and bothered over Ted Cruz’s speechifying about our God-given rights, exceptionalism, and all that. The so-called “God-made” Constitution left several of the MSM hooting with ridicule. Their reaction of course was (predictably) to say that the Constitution and the […]

When are Non-Terrorists Terrorists
25 Feb 2015
It has been reported that the Department of Homeland Security issued a paper urging its employees to be on the look-out for “right-wing extremists (Washington Times, February 21, 2015). CNN, which originally mentioned the report, quoted an administration official: “’I don’t think it’s fair to say the (White House) conference didn’t address this at all,” […]

“Don’t Know Much About History”
23 Feb 2015
I didn’t know until today of a further statement President Obama made in his closing remarks at the Anti-Terrorism summit. This particular remark is simply unbelievable from a historical standpoint. Does the president not care at all to tell the whole truth, or any truth for that matter? Does he, as one writer put it, […]

The “Jobs for Jihadis” Issue, Taken Seriously
20 Feb 2015
I wanted to address the “Jobs for Jihadists” ruckus from the past few days in a bit more detail. The reader may remember I mentioned this in my post of earlier on President Obama’s terrorism summit. Obama and spokespeople had suggested that one major solution to the terrorist problem was the economic situation in Islamic […]

The Summit That Was Not
19 Feb 2015
I listened to part of President Obama’s closing speech at the “Anti-extremism Summit” today. And I have read what his associates have said about terrorism, particularly in the context of the ISIS threat. I have reached a conclusion about the president, after hearing and reading his words. But first, what did he say today (February […]

Truth Telling Matters
18 Feb 2015
Brian Williams’s leave of absence due to concerns about his truthfulness is just the highest profile of a long line of individuals who have stretched the truth. It is interesting to me that the truth matters so much to Americans in a news anchor, but so little in our political leaders. Politicfact.com has four pages […]
