Christian Universities Join Indiana Hate Crimes Push

For years, left-leaning social activists have been attempting to push “hate crimes” legislation through Indiana’s part-time legislature and onto the governor’s desk.  Much to the chagrin of complicit state media like the ...

Rape Isn't a Game, Senator Murray

Sometimes the manufactured outrage obsession that exists in our culture is oddly humorous. As exhausting as it can be, sometimes you just can’t help but laugh at people who find a reason to be offended in nearly every situation they encounter. ...

One more fake hate crime

Desperate, demented, and despicable.  Those are about the best words to encapsulate yet another hoax hate crime that received national attention in the days immediately following the election of Donald Trump. According to news reports at the ...

Would Jesus Scold Trump on Refugees?

Who would have thought that just a month into the Trump presidency and the progressive left would be demanding our society ask itself what Jesus would do about foreign refugees? Apparently on some issues, that wall between church and state they...

Why Progressive Christians Are Ineffective and Unpersuasive

One of the most fascinating speeches in the Bible happens in Acts 5, with Jewish Pharisee Gamaliel addressing the Sanhedrin.  He warns them that if the message being preached by the Apostles of Jesus were of man, it would fail.  But if it i...

The one act that defined President Barack Obama

It is fitting that presidents give farewell messages.  But given the venue and setting President Obama had chosen, it was fairly easy to surmise that this would be a final political rally and national lecture. I will simply recount the one la...

It’s Not a War on Christmas; It’s a War on the Constitution

One of the most bizarre traditions of the holiday season for me is to watch those who assail the purpose and meaning of Christmas become apoplectic when someone weary of their politically correct antics refers to the behavior as a “war on Chris...

We (still) need the Electoral College

It seems bizarre that the person with the most votes doesn't win the presidency – that is until you open up a book, read what the Founding Fathers were doing, and grasp the significance and importance of federalism in the lasting success of...

Being fair to the Hamilton cast

I have always thought highly of Vice President-Elect Mike Pence and appreciated his composed and even-tempered approach to leadership.  And so I’m not surprised that I find myself agreeing with him about his recent interaction with the cas...

A Teacher ‘Thanks’ the Indiana Fever

Supreme Court brings the 'War on Women' to Texas

I understand that the political left sees the recent abortion ruling from the Supreme Court as a big win.  As predictable as it was, I appreciate the obligatory victory laps now being taken by embattled Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, th...

If You're Pro-Family, You Don't Vote for Trump

Everyone has moral failings.  I have plenty of them myself.  What I'm about to say, then, has nothing to do with some unrealistic expectation that a man be perfect in order to earn my support for high office.  Instead, it has every...

Supporting Donald Trump: If You Can't Beat Liberals, Join Them?

If conservative pundits like Ann Coulter and Breitbart's John Nolte want to make fools of themselves, so be it.  But as a Christian and by consequence a political conservative, I want no part of the Donald Trump campaign. I admit to being...

Atheists: Just Calm Down

I have to confess to being somewhat amused by all the anti-Christian evangelical atheists at this time of year. Now admittedly, I’m not one who worries much at all about any supposed “War on Christmas” in our culture. I find people ...

The Planned Parenthood killer was pro-choice

Here’s a most inconvenient but undeniable truth: the monster who killed civilians and a cop near a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs recently was pro-choice.  That doesn’t necessarily mean he was an abortion supporte...

The Left's Ugly Hatred of Ben Carson

End the Media Blackout on Gay Rapists

Rape is a hideous crime. Besides the physical and emotional violence inflicted, depriving the victim of their basic human dignity is unconscionable.  The charge of rape itself is worthy of our full attention; and if proven, the crime should d...

Note to Freedom from Religion Foundation: Removing the Cross Is 'Un-American'

Komen Disgraces Its Own Cause
