While there appears to be a happy ending in the works for Chinese Dissident Chen Guangcheng, if you trust the Chinese Communists to keep their new promise to allow him to leave with his family, few media reports tell the story of what he was “dissenting” from and not a single one so far has put this into the context of Vice President Biden’s siding | Read More »

The call to the Catholic faithful to oppose the administration of Barack Obama continues to intensify with a new proclamation issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which directly calls for all Catholics to fight for the reversal of the February “mandate” which requires Catholic and other religious institutions in America to provide what the Harrisburg Diocese’s website calls “infanticide” services which violate Catholic | Read More »

I do not know what it is about a Christian conservative speaking about his faith and about public policy issues that so much enrages the secular liberal left in America but recent writings by the undersigned in this space have generated more personal insult, attack and strawman arguments attempting to demonize what we say than anything I have written during the last seven weeks of | Read More »

If you are one of those people who believes the Constitution creates a ‘wall” of “separation of Church and state” this bulletin may alarm you.  Some people just don’t agree with you.  They reject this idea that Christians aren’t supposed to speak about their faith when they speak of legislation or candidates they support. They didn’t get the memo in York, PA where a conservative | Read More »

How conservatives choose between competing candidates all claiming to be “the true conservative” (TTC) in a primary in sometimes simply a study in contrasts, not just a matter of listening to what they promise to do in the future, not simply studying their past track record in life but also seeing how they handle the normal and ordinary pressures of a campaign, including debates and | Read More »

When I wrote to offer my objections to all of the positive PR for the recent lottery “jackpot” yesterday my offering seems to have really offended some, who offered the usual liberal bromides to justify their upset. (see: Gambling is Evil When 75% of $656 Million from Poor and/or Stupid People Goes to RICO Conspirators). I called the lottery the equivalent of a “Racketeer Influenced | Read More »

Nowhere in America was the contrast between country club Republicans and grassroots conservative activists more evident than at the GOP “candidates forum” at the Heritage Hills Golf Resort in York, PA this past Monday evening. State Senator Pat Vance is a lovely 74 year old, 7 year incumbent State Senator and the only person in the legislature with a nursing background. She sounded like a | Read More »

Leftists and libertarians on one side, and the supporters of Rick Santorum on the other side.  That was the more recent “Battle of Gettysburg” that I reported taking place this past Tuesday night. It seemed to stir up quit a fuss when I reported on the recent “line in the dirt” at Gettysburg between the two sides in that battle. It wasn’t just my opinion | Read More »

Contrary to leftwing chants echoed in some chambers of the conservative cause, Rick Santorum is not running as the soulmate of Jerry Falwell and the religious right but as a full spectrum conservative. But they keep focusing on any instance in which he does exactly what Ronald Reagan always used to do – give thanks to God and refer to “the Centrality of Faith” to | Read More »

This past week there were news reports of Barack Obama reelection campaign organizers urging supporters to “organize” their churches and congregations for his reelection.  This is very much a breach of what the liberals always call “Separation of Church and State” – the doctrine popularized by then Senator John F. Kennedy in a 1960 speech as he ran for President. You can bet that all | Read More »
