    How can someone claim God favors abortion?

    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? Or how can they claim that the issue is important, but not really that important?

  • Meaninglessness in art

    Meaninglessness in art

    Life does have meaning. As Jesus once put it, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” Sadly, many of our cultural institutions have rejected that truth. And so they churn out ugly art that is “vanity of vanities.”

    The irony in the rise in antisemitism in America

    The irony of antisemitism in America is the way our nation’s founders worked to create a safe haven for all, including Jews.

  • Our open border crisis

    Our open border crisis

    The Constitution says it exists to “insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.” Do open borders for any nation help achieve such lofty goals?

    So much for the rule of law

    I believe we are seeing on display Alinsky-type tactics in last week’s unprecedented (possibly illegal) leaking of the Supreme Court decision-in-the-making that could possibly overturn Roe v. Wade. When the left doesn’t get what it wants through the rule of law, they resort to dirty tactics to get their way.

  • Biden's claim about children: I wish it were a gaffe

    Biden's claim about children: I wish it were a gaffe

    I think most Americans would agree that fighting racism and striving toward a color-blind society, is a worthy goal. But what if the attempts to achieve that goal actually promote the very thing they say they are fighting?

  • Schools as 'religion-free zones'?

    Schools as 'religion-free zones'?

    It would seem that the left cares about free speech and freedom of expression when it comes to things the founders would have never dreamed about, like alternative sexualities and gender fluidity, but not for things explicitly protected in the Constitution like the free exercise of religion.

  • The hope of America

    The hope of America

    Since secularism is the prevailing worldview of the elites who control so much of the thought and activity in this country, the cyclist’s observations may seem startling. But when you consider so much of our nation’s history, it’s not surprising.

    Responding to the charge that the Constitution is 'trash'

    These days all kinds of ridiculous things are said against America, the Pledge of Allegiance, the flag, and our history. Now, one leftist reporter calls the Constitution “trash.”
