  • NewsBusters Interview: Dana Gioia on Christian Retreat from the Culture

    NewsBusters ^ | Matthew Sheffield
    For decades, there has been a lot of discussion about a “cultural war,” primarily between people of traditional faith and those who see religion as something of little value. Whether war is quite the right metaphor to describe the phenomenon, there certainly is a lot of pressure on people who adhere to traditionalist opinions, as Phil Robertson of A&E’s Duck Dynasty can certainly attest. Yet while opponents of traditional beliefs and a politically unbalanced media have certainly proved harmful to faith in the public square, those two groups cannot be entirely blamed for the less prominent place that Christians now...
  • The Late, Great American WASP ('bout time somebody said it)

    Wall Street Journal ^ | 12/20/13 | JOSEPH EPSTEIN
    The U.S. once had an unofficial but nonetheless genuine ruling class, drawn from what came to be known as the WASP establishment. Members of this establishment dominated politics, economics and education, but they do so no longer. The WASPocracy, as I think of it, lost its confidence and, with it, the power and interest to lead. We are now without a ruling class, unless one includes the entity that has come to be known as the meritocracy—presumably an aristocracy of sheer intelligence, men and women trained in the nation's most prestigious schools. The acronym WASP derives, of course, from White...

    BLACK COMMENTATOR EVISCERATES BLACK WOMEN While searching through different videos, I clicked on this thing. WARNING: language is very graphic! This is a black guy who comments on problems in the black community. It begins with two out of control women in a confrontational video, then Tommy goes on his rant. Watch as much as you like, but I found it quite interesting.
  • Mary Mary's Erica Campbell Too 'Sexy' for Gospel? Some Christians Think So

    Erica Campbell's new album promo shot is getting lots of attention. Perhaps not the kind she anticipated. The Mary Mary singer recently posted a photo of herself wearing a figure-hugging white dress on her Instagram page. The photo sparked lots of conversations about whether or not the dress was too sexy for a gospel singer. "Yes, you are a beautiful, curvy woman…but No ma'am you are singing the gospel of Jesus Christ," wrote pastor Stacey Woods on American Preacher. We compel men to come through our love for Jesus, but when we wear things that are distracting, the message is...

  • Is Putin One of Us?

    CNSNews.com ^ | DEc 17, 2013 | Patrick J. Buchanan
    With America clearly in mind, Putin declared, "In many countries today, moral and ethical norms are being reconsidered." "They're now requiring not only the proper acknowledgment of freedom of conscience, political views and private life, but also the mandatory acknowledgment of the equality of good and evil." Translation: While privacy and freedom of thought, religion and speech are cherished rights, to equate traditional marriage and same-sex marriage is to equate good with evil.

    6-Year old boy suspended for kissing girl on cheek.Their war on little boys in elementary schools continues unabated. Little children are being punished with suspensions, expulsions, and permanent damage to school records based on standards of conduct carried into elementary schools from the adult world. Typically, but not exclusively, the insanity is directed at little boys for alleged violation of zero tolerance gun and sexual harassment policies. KRDO reports: A Canon City school six-year-old boy has been accused of sexual harassment and the school suspended him for kissing a girl on the cheek and hand. **snip**The Principal is defending the...

  • Progressive to WHAT?

    Vanity ^ | 11/30/2013 | Dick Bachert
    We simply must refuse to allow libtards to continue their nefarious and dangerous practice of hijacking and twisting our language, the most pernicious example of which is their application of the term “progressive” to themselves. Here's a question for those of you who somehow escaped the government school indoctrination process with your critical thinking skills intact: When these people say “progressive”, to where or to what do they propose to progress? Among America's founding documents is the Declaration of Independence. Because many of you younger readers may not have been exposed to the Declaration in school (or, worse, were exposed...
