What is it that makes politicians reach for the Tent Revival rhetoric to make a point? Everyone went nuts when they found out that Huckabee said in 1998 that he wanted to “take back America for Christ”, and now Michelle Obama is telling us that electing her husband to office will “fix our souls”.
Sooo … […]

Happened to check out Hugh Hewitt’s blog – which I usually like — and felt like he was shaking his finger in my face.
I was a guest on the Fox News Channel this afternoon. The subject was whether or not the new movie about the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857 would be a problem […]

Found myself kind of annoyed with this story.
Focus on the Family founder James Dobson appeared to throw cold water on a possible presidential bid by former Sen. Fred Thompson while praising former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is also weighing a presidential run, in a phone interview Tuesday.
“Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out […]

Who in the world told Hillary Clinton that it would be a good idea for her to attempt an “old folks at home” drawl when speaking at a church in Selma, Alabama? Especially if she wasn’t prepared for one instant to part with her honking, stentorian monotone.
Here’s a LINK if you haven’t already heard it. […]

Another political entry coming up. I’m trying to cut back, but then I happened on this article by Dennis Prager this morning, and it was too good not to pass along:

Of all the myths that surround Left-Right differences, one of the greatest is that the Left values liberty more than the Right. Regarding a small […]

(I actually had a request to talk about politics on the blog, so I’ll give that some focus. If you don’t like that sort of thing, talk amongst yourselves for a while.)
I think everyone knows what “snafu” stands for, right? The PG-13 version is “Situation Normal: All Fouled Up”. Why couldn’t the president just […]

The e-mail I get from the Wall St. Journal opinion analysts had some points about the election similar to mine, except, y’know, better and less crass. (Show-offs!) I promise to get off the political stuff for a while after this, but here is a list from James Taranto of what was good about yesterday’s results:

Well, it sure is a bad day to be the most Republican-inclined woman on the Ortho-blogosphere.
I had been sort of hoping it just wouldn’t be as bad as the polls were leading us to believe. So on top of all the other indignities, I have to start believing polls now? Ugh.

It’s worth remembering, of course, […]

As the elections draw closer I think a lot of Christians are occupied as I am with trying to sift the chaff out of the wheat, trying to take the political leanings, outside opinions and personal biases from whatever discernment and moral judgment their Maker has graced them with. This is an exercise that goes […]

This wasn’t something I meant to write about, but it’s Greg’s fault for sending me this great article from Peggy Noonan. The topic is a growing inability by some — I might almost say “by the usual suspects” to live with the idea of free speech:
On Oct. 2, on Katie Couric’s “CBS Evening News,” in […]
