Senator Frist, current head of the NRSC and transplant surgeon, is obviously a capable individual with an excellent political resume. But my recollection is that he is not a conservative, certainly not pro-life. Is that correct?

Friends in Alabama: I recently heard your amazing Chief Justice Roy Moore speak. Though I had heard of his tough stands, I think you would agree that until you hear this man in person, you can't be completely aware of the caliber of this amazing jurist. My question is this: what is the political landscape in Alabama over the next few years? Can he run for governor? Is there any hint that Shelby or Sessions would move on, especially Shelby since he has been there awhile? If he could run for the U.S. Senate, I am certain that he would...

Can someone explain to me why the training camps will not have just picked up and moved over the last two weeks while we are contemplating bombing? By the time we get around to doing something, what will be left for us to target?

Sometimes people do good things, anonymously and with no expectation of reward. Several weeks ago, my beautiful wife discovered her wallet missing after a long trip. We knew we had it in the airport, but didn't make it home with it. Today she received it back in the mail with every penny of cash in it. The postage took 11 stamps - the sender didn't even borrow money for postage. No return address - just a postmark indicating our home town. Please join us in thanking the anonymous fellow citizen who did the right thing - while no one was ...

Clearly our side of the cultural/economic war is not as organized as the other side. Or, at least it does not enjoy the mainstream constant drum beat of support from government schools, the media, Hollywood, etc. The left has a theorist, Antonio Gramsci, who though largely unknown outside of the Communist elite, has outlined exactly what the left should do in terms of tearing apart the culture to make it ready for totalitarianism. We on the other hand are often a bunch of guerilla fighters fighting lone battles which is a strategy which is insufficient. To the extent any of ...

According to my wife who heard All Things Considered today on NPR, the pro-Castro sycophants referred to the Pulitzer winning photograph of Elian at gun-point as the "photo showing Elian being freed from his family". This, ladies and gentlemen is beyond the pale, even for the communists at NPR. Elian being "freed"? Is that not one of the sickest things you have ever heard? That would make Pravda blush! IT IS TIME TO LET THEM HAVE IT. YOU CAN SEE THEIR WEB SITE A NPR.ORG. THEIR E MAIL ADDRESS IS THERE. I will leave it to others to post their ...

How many of you home school? For those with experience as either student or teacher, I would appreciate short responses. I would be especially interested in any brief criticisms, how you would do it differently, and so forth. Thank you.

Many of you are familiar with the defender of liberty, R.J. Rushdoony, who died only a few days ago. Near the end of his work on education, he wrote: "And, for the present, most people, including most critics of the state schools, are getting better schools than they deserve. The state as yet does not hinder men from establishing and maintaining schools to further their own faith and principles. The future has never been shaped by majorities but rather by dedicated minorities. And free men do not wait for the future; they create it. The differences and problems in that ...
