Media bias part 4,987 — Let’s see, if it is bad that Dick Cheney defends the Bush administration by correcting Obama’s errors and the media considers that some sort of break with the alleged tradition of Presidents and VPs not criticizing subsequent administrations, where were they with unhinged Al Gore?

Marshall Art has a good post on torture.  My $0.02 is that people can have some honest debates about whether waterboarding qualifies as torture.  But what is interesting about Obama’s soon-to-backfire political approach of appeasing the far Left is that the more the facts come out the worse the Democrats will look (i.e., those who [...]

“There is no homosexual agenda!”

Uh, except for this one, that the gay lobby, the mainstream media, the entertainment industry and liberal “Christians” follow to the letter.  I encourage you to read and share the whole article.  As much as its proponents try to deny there is an agenda, the truth is there for all to see.
Some samples:
On “hate crimes” laws: [...]

Good rebuttal to the Zeitgeist movie that denies Christianity and advances silly 9/11 conspiracy theories.

The free-loader effect

The Pugnacious Irishman has a good piece on the problems of socialism and the free-loader effect.  Here’s an excerpt from a piece he analyzes:
. . . people are flawed and, outside of a family, a religious order, or a small group of friends, they will not continually work hard for the ‘greater good’ if they [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before . . .

Planned Parenthood was caught on video for the sixth time for committing the felony of covering up sexual abuse.
It should have only taken one or perhaps two of these videos to generate Congressional action and a full-scale media investigation.  But no one on the Left seems to care!  I have never seen one Planned Parenthood [...]

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, violence hasn’t primarily stemmed from religion but against religion (the Roman Empire, Russia, China, etc.).  Read about the incredible violence in France in 1793.

Brief thoughts on the latest “same-sex marriage” issues

A commenter on another blog repeated the claim that:
Same-sex marriage opponents, however, are arguing that marriage should be “limited to just us.” They frequently argue, as you do, that the law should be used to force other people to live according to their religious beliefs.
Some fictions never seem to die.  What supporters of traditional marriage [...]

Great testimony by Supermodel Kathy Ireland – This is a must-watch video on multiple levels.  Not only is she a winsome ambassador for Christ but she gave a great pro-life viewpoint based on science and reason.  Very thorough, clear and compelling.  Wow.  Major blessings to her for standing up for her faith and for life, even [...]

Bibliolators?

One of the pet terms that theological liberals like to call authentic Christians is bibliolators, implying that we worship the Bible more than Jesus.  I imagine they release plenty of endorphins over their supposed cleverness but the pejorative fails on two levels.
First, it is false.  We don’t worship the Bible, we worship the God who revealed himself [...]

My apologies . . .

 . . . to you readers for getting testy in the comments section this week.  If I would have just consistently enforced my commenting policy and/or avoided over-reacting it would not have happened.  My bad.
And my thanks to the brother in Christ who diplomatically pointed out my less-than-ambassador-like approach to me.  Much appreciated.

“Lights, Camera, Blasphemy”

These videos highlight the dramatic influence movies have had on public perceptions of Christianity. 
If you only have time for one, please watch the second (along with the last minute of the first).  It addresses the major errors in the movie Inherit the Wind, a pro-Darwinian evolution / anti-Christian propoganda piece about the “Scopes Monkey Trial” [...]

Just dial 911 for all your needs!

There seem to be more cases of ridiculous calls to 911 operators in the news lately, such as not enough shrimp in a meal or because McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets.  I tend to ignore these stories, assuming that with over 300 million people in the country that a lot of truly stupid things [...]

Certainty

I’m revising and re-running this in (dis)honor of the commenter who trotted out the straw man about the “supposed certainties of conservative-traditional Christianity.” Eek!

It seems I have have acquired a little Internet ”fan club” that likes to dismiss me for being so certain about things.  I can’t miss the irony of them being certain that [...]

Offense or defense? Both.

Many evangelistic endeavors seek to bring people out of false religions and cults.  Those are very important and have accomplished great things. 
But their value isn’t just in getting people out of bad things, it is in keeping people from entering them to begin with.
You may be able to count how many people  a group converted [...]
