At the Intersection of Faith and Culture

In his most recent piece, the widely respected Thomas Sowell refers to the GOP as “the 8th wonder of the world” for its uncanny ability to continue “repeating the same mistakes for decades on end [.]” The Republican establishment, Sowell complains, persists in nominating “ad hoc moderates”—like Mitt Romney—as their presidential candidates—even though these moderates…

In the spirit of this holiday, I suggest the following list of resolutions for Republicans for 2013. Republicans must resolve to: (1). Acknowledge that your party is not a “conservative” party.  Recognize, and then admit, that it is a neoconservative party. (2). Come to terms with the fact that neoconservatism is almost as antithetical to…

On Monday, Christmas Eve, 62 year-old William Spengler set fire to his home in upstate New York.  When four firefighters arrived, he rained down a storm of bullets, killing two of them.  He also shot at the police before taking his own life. That Spengler is now numbered among the dead is cause for rejoicing. …

As “the conservative movement” seeks to regain its bearings following Barack Obama’s reelection, its adherents should recognize, first of all, that its name doesn’t do justice to its true character. That is, the conservative movement is actually a neoconservative movement. With rare exception, virtually every “star” in the movement is a neoconservative.  From the personalities…

The so-called “conservative movement” is all but doomed. For my gloomy prognostication I offer two sufficiently simple reasons. First, the movement is dominated by self-serving publicity pimps and their whores who neither know nor care to know a damn thing about genuine conservatism. Second, the grass roots of the movement, though free of their leaders’…

One week ago, on the heels of the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut that left 20 children and six adults dead, I made a prediction on my Facebook wall.  Sooner than any of us would like, I predicted, the national mourning that this event has beckoned forth will be regarded by some as the…

Where was God when Adam Lanza went on a shooting spree at an elementary school in Newtown,Connecticut that left 20 children and six adults dead?  Atheists assume that if there is evil in the world, then there can be no God. What they need to realize, however, is that if there is no God, then…

Courtesy of mass murderer Adam Lanza, Sandy Hook School in Newtown,Connecticut has been deprived of 26 members of its community, six adults and twenty children between the ages of five and ten.    Our hearts break—as they should. Unfortunately, to judge from the endless commentary on this matter, it would appear that our heads are…

No sooner had the word of the Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughter in Newtown,Connecticut broke than the search for “root causes” was well under way.  Not unexpectedly, topping the list was the “root cause” par excellence, the alleged lack of “gun control.” Unsurprisingly, none of the following “root causes” made the cut. For nearly forty…

As of the time of this writing, just hours after the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, 27 people are dead. Courtesy of mass murderer Adam Lanza, twenty children between the ages of five and ten are forever gone from this world.  For the victims and their loved ones, we are…
