AP reports on Sen. McCain’s on-going battle with some Christian conservative political leaders over his record, his priorities, and his ‘faith.’ While McCain has managed to pry open some of the doors that slammed shut in his rift with the right during his bid for the presidency in 2000, conservatives’ list of grievances against the…

Andrew Sullivan links to a series of indescribably moving photographs of a Marine and his bride on their wedding day as well as pictures of the Marine in every day life. Meditate on them because in them love emanates even in the midst of what must be unfathomable pain and agony. My heart breaks out…

“But you, O Lord, are ever living and in you nothing dies, for you exist before the dawn of the ages, before anything that can be called “before”; you are God and Lord of everything that you have created.”St. AugustineThe Confessions, Book I, chapter 9

From David Fairchild’s blog, a post on the defining characteristics of the early church. 1- They refused to attend blood thirsty entertainment. They wouldn’t go to gladiatorial events because they believed it defiled humans who were created in the image of God. This made them appear to be anti-social.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m at halftime of my Uganda journey. My attempts to venture north – far north – into Darfur over the weekend have fallen through. I guess the Ritz Carlton Darfur is fully booked… I may have the opportunity to venture there in April, however. We’ll see. Instead of Darfur, I will spend…

In an exhaustive C-SPAN interview airing this morning (and available online), President Bush discusses Iraq, his presidency, and his legacy. This exchange made me wonder if it was April Fool’s Day yet: Q But I’m talking about ideology. You have Reagan Republicans today. Are there — will there be Bush Republicans, and can you define…

ABC News’ Sonya Crawford reported over the weekend on how hard it was for conservatives to find a candidate for 2008: And as conservatives consider their presidential hopefuls, they’re concerned. None of their frontrunners — former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney — are true, purebred…

A couple of memorable snippets from conversations about Sen. Barack Obama with Republican political operatives over the last few days: – “In his high school yearbook he was known as, ‘Barry’ – there is certainly something there to explore. There’s just something wrong with this guy and America is going to find out about it.”…
