Freedom or Security? If You Had to Choose…
This afternoon, I was watching the Senate debate FISA on CSPAN (don’t laugh, it was pretty interesting).
Several senators on both sides of the aisle were defending the Bush administrations’ actions during the aftermath of 9/11. I was actually quite shocked to see democrats actually rationalizing some of the measures taken in the name of security.
Senator [...]
OK, Be Honest … Does This Belong in Our Law Books?
H.R. 847 has apparently passed the House of Representatives and is on its way to the Senate.
Just take a look at this excerpt from the text of the resolution:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives–
(1) recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world;
(2) expresses continued support for Christians in the United [...]
AiG On Distant Starlight
Answers in Genesis, the most notable Young Earth Creationist ministry in America, has published an article today that addresses one of my main concerns with YEC.
Have a look, if you have the stomach for it. It’s long and a little in-depth for the average reader, but feel free to take a look and let me [...]
Public Funding for FireFighters Drops, Sparks Surge in Private Sector
The Raw Story reports:
Today, a decline in public funding for firefighting services has sparked explosive growth in the private sector. The world’s largest insurance company – American Insurance Group – now has “Wildfire Protection Units” in 150 US zip codes.
In my humble opinion, this is the triumph of the American ideal. It makes perfect sense [...]
Huffington Post Gets One Almost Right
This post over at the liberal blog, HuffingtonPost.com is probably one of the better articles I’ve read there.
Well, actually, the first half of the article is good. The last part is complete BS, and the sad part is they will get away with it.
America is by no means a nation founded on Christianity, it also [...]
Politicians Reek of Insincerity
Is it just me, or does every Democratic candidate (with the exception of Richardson) reek of insincerity when talking about their faith? Even some republicans (McCain, Guilani) put off a bit of an odor…
John Edwards’ face even turns red and his voice trembles when he talks about “the Loword” (that’s southern for “Lord”).
Huckabee seems [...]
You Gotta Admit, It’s Kinda Funny
OK, despite the reasonable objection to the premise, this picture is pretty darn funny …
Enjoy!
War on Christmas Lost
The ratio or “Happy Holidays” to “Merry Christmas” has been about 20 to 1 to me so far this season. Looks like the war on Christmas has been lost by the social conservatives.
Do I care? Nope. Merry Christmas!
Bullet Points on Monday
It’s been a while since I’ve published a good list of bullet points weekly update. Things have been busy with traveling, working on projects, and keeping up with the dog. But, assuming my schedule keeps, I should have the new design live shortly, and I’m pretty sure that you guys are going to like it. [...]
Revisiting Youth
OK, lately I’ve been criticized from both sides of the issue concerning my position on the age of the Earth/Universe. I can’t say it was unexpected, as I had already addressed the fact that both sides consider me to be in error in one respect or another, hence my being “Caught in the Middle“.
But [...]
