The Political Inquirer

Brian LePort has arranged for two of his friends to begin a “debate” next week on atheism, theism, and their respective roles in society and government. If everything goes well, the questions and arguments will be posted here next week and should stir some interesting debate.

We, as mortals with short life spans, would not even be concerned about the origins of life, except the evolutionists wish to use their [...]

John Nichols at The Nation tried to show the differences between Hagee/McCain and Wright/Obama. His comparison makes a lot of sense…if you’re an Obama supporter. If you like Hagee, you’ll obviously object to it.
Indeed, it is far more reasonable to demand that McCain talk about where he agrees and disagrees with Rev. Hagee on questions [...]

The clearcut obvious solution to the evolution vs. intelligent design debate is let people form their own schools with their own curriculum! If people were allowed to choose the kind of education they wanted their kid to have then we wouldn’t have to worry about this silly debate.
But, some may object, and say, “But if [...]

Most of us know, and have heard the saying ad nauseum, that if you do not know history, you are doomed to repeat. Despite the fact this saying is said so frequently, it seems to go through one ear, and right out the other, as we pay very little attention to history. Technology may change, [...]

I was thinking of Quasimodo when I heard that another Waco was brewing last week. The sad old hunchback grabbed the condemned Esmeralda off the gibbet, and fled back to Notre Dame shouting “Sanctuary!

Joseph Farah is misinterpreting the Constitution. His latest article blasts Justice Scalia for saying that the Constitution does not give the authority to rule on abortion. Farah believes that since the Constitution says people have a right to life and shall not be deprived of it, then the United States Government may step in to [...]

In 1912 a researcher named Émile Durkheim published a work which he called “The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life”. To simplify a lot of what he said, it basically boiled down to, the images of religion and God within a society were reflective of the society itself, in a social and political sense. Meaning, [...]

I have sat befuddled the past few weeks while I listened to radio and television commentators, journalist, and politicians tell America what he/she believes Senator Barack Obama should have done after the politically incorrect homily of Reverend Jeremiah Wright made its way to YouTube viewers everywhere.
As an individual who has been raised and continues to [...]

Physics. It’s what I studied in college, though it’s a subject that makes most people cringe whenever I mention it. Since I’m still interested in the subject, I routinely browse scientific articles on the web. So, when I came across an article in Newsweek about the search for the elusive Higgs Boson, [...]

Despite a McCain advisor attacking the Christian Right in the Republican party, I believe most Christians of this “breed” are still going to believe McCain is the lesser of two evils.
“The issues that have concerned the far right I don’t see and I don’t expect to see any changes. I know there will be some [...]
