In a recent post at The Daily Caller , Kendrick MacDowell wrote that Libertarians are obliged to support same-sex marriage, and argued this on the grounds that “marriage is a government-sanctioned institution and the government has no legitimate interest in the genders of the spouses-to-be.” I can’t say I’m really a Libertarian, and it’s precisely [...]

It appears that Senator Barack Obama is not the only one with a pastor in the closet. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, who will be running with Senator John McCain as the Vice-Presidential candidate from the Republican Party, may not only have a fiery pastor to explain, but her own sermon/speech as well. Palin’s use [...]

You’d like to say this could only happen in Saudi Arabia but the massive Muslim immigrations to Europe and the United States will show more and more reports of this kind of activity as Muslims get closer to majorities in certain areas.

Hal Lindsey’s fearmongering is yet another reason why I refuse to listen to people with no principles that love carrying the water for the neocons. His article today is titled “How Obama prepped the world for the Antichirst“. Give me a break. Obama may relish in the ‘president of the world’ status some of us [...]

Becky Akers writes: We also enhance rather than counter the state’s supremacy. Our “patriotism” is really nationalism: unquestioning and enthusiastic support of political power. Christians eager to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s have the rest of the week to do so. But the things rendered should not include our allegiance. That belongs [...]

In today’s column by Vox Day, he argues that the “secular, atheist enlightenment” that the great “High Atheists” want to give us in a post-Christian society is simply a dreamboat. Instead, Day says that a post-Christian society is the simplest, surest way to recreating the pre-Christian barbarianism that existed before 1,000 AD and the Christianization [...]

Both Harris and Hitchens fit the bill rather nicely; they’re not conventional Republicans, but they support American military adventurism in the Middle East. Hitchens, in fact, [...]
