Cal shouldn't have to tell you he's talking about Judeo-Christian religion given the historical and cultural context of U.S. history which has long been dominated by Judeo-Christian belief. The United States faces physically external threats (i.e. terrorism) and internal threats (i.e poor...

I enjoy reading the articles over at the website "Chiesa" - they are usually quite insightful and give a marvelous perspective of the world as seen from Rome (well, the Vatican to be exact). The site has just now posted a story about a document being floated out of Egypt regarding religous...

It's important to recognize the difference between the Christan notion of "brother and sister" and the Islamic faith. I think a lot of people hold the mistaken notion that we're all "the children of God" by nature and thus we are all really "brothers and sisters" to each other. This, however, is...

The purpose of "gun rights" is to be able to defend and protect our nation and our neighbors. The gun is a symbol of indpendence, but I think the Left and Right get it wrong. The Left wants gun bans, which is not consitutional while the Right argues that the individual has a right to bear arms...

The charlatans' response to the Tucson tragedy - George Will It would be merciful if, when tragedies such as Tucson's occur, there were a moratorium on sociology. But respites from half-baked explanations, often serving political opportunism, are impossible because of a timeless human craving...

Lemme jump back in on a few things here.. Israel is in a kill-or-be-killed situation in which its very survival is dependent upon everyone pitching in to keep it from being destroyed. There is no real way for them to avoid having homosexuals and women trained to fight to the death. It is a...

Well said, indeed.

Agreed. I certainly would not. Thanks for the info!

What follows below is an interesting analysis of American culture from a good friend of mine in Minnesota. His words and argumentation have a certain shock-value to them, and while I don't necessarily agree with each and every point he makes, he certainly does approach the issue of political...

As violent protests hit Europe over the cutting of entitlements, Europe's Big Goverment mentality thinks about dishing out more. Not that women shouldn't get some time off to care for their babies, but a good society would not force a mother out of the home to begin with. And what is really...

Longer maternity leave eyed in EU to boost births BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The minimum maternity leave in European Union countries would be raised by six weeks to a total of 20 in a proposal by EU lawmakers Wednesday designed to boost flagging birth rates. The move, which extends a proposal by...

Please read the archbishop’s autobiography and tell me he was a bitter old man. I think he was the most joyful man who ever won an Emmy – yes, that’s right, a Catholic archbishop had a nation-wide TV show and won Emmys for it. It was called “Life is Worth Living” and it painted a wonderful...

I never once asserted that men who stoop to the level of the indecency that scantily clad women do are acting justly or respectfully. In fact, the truly virtuous man can see such a woman and not act in a lustful way. There is actually a true story of a Catholic bishop who was out with some other...

Well I can honestly say that I have never treated a woman in a way that fails to recognize her dignity. Sadly many men have not done so. I was actually just at a big chastity event with some of my students last night and the presenters spoke of how they didn't want to be too tough on the guys...

Amen to that.
