Prime Minister Paul Martin (a liberal, of course) has decided that, due his whining citizens, Canada would not join the U.S. in its North American missile defense system. Canada would "opt out". Opt out? Opt out of what? Opt out of the protection the system provides?Can you imagine the ridiculous scenario...White contrails of nuclear missiles arc high over the Canadian arctic ice.

To many conservative Christians, it seems that their voice is being swallowed up by a culture that is falling ever farther and faster away from what they consider to be the moral center. Liberal social causes such as the legalization of drugs, acceptance of the gay lifestyle, and religious pluralism/secularism run counter to conservative Christian beliefs. Generally speaking, they view the

Before I move on to another topic, there is still one bone I have to pick in the Philly 5 case. While I applaud her ultimate decision, the ruling passed down by Judge Pamela Dembe is disturbing. In her decision, Dembe stated, “We are one of the very few countries that protects unpopular speech. And that means that Nazis can March in Skokie, Ill. ... That means that the Ku Klux Klan can march

Today, the Philly 5 were acquitted of any wrongdoing in the OutFest arrests earlier this month. As I read the news story, I ran across this video of the events that led up to the arrests. You know, for a long while I have pretended that in today's America the only way to get oneself arrested during a protest would be to physically endanger another person. Boy was I wrong.I must admit that when I

Warren Bauer of UpsideUSA recently brought to my attention the uproar over the city of Placerville, California, affectionately known as “Old Hangtown,” declaring itself a “No-Hate Zone.” On the 8th of February, Mayor Roberta R. Colvin signed into action a resolution passed by the city council that stated, among other things, that: Hatred is a bad thing that undermines the “Principles of Freedom”

A couple of weeks ago, at a conference discussing the approach Christians ought to take towards the creation/evolution question, I struck up a conversation with a professor of philosophy and ethics from a local college. This professor turned out to be a Catholic who did not find any superficial problems reconciling evolution with the Genesis account of creation. For him, it was entirely possible,

So North Korea has come out and publicly admitted to having developed nuclear weapons. And now, while the world is expressing its shock and dismay, I'm sure Washington is working very hard to suppress the urge to say, "I told you so." This announcement in an indirect way vindicates the recent invasion of Iraq, doesn’t it? Whether or not WMD is ever found, the fact remains that Baghdad

Having found that I must engage in a real life today, I won't be creating a blog installment, except to make this short observation. It is obvious from the following headline I read on Yahoo! News today that the Democratic National Committee is at work in Iraq: Iraq Election Results Delayed on Recount See you tomorrow. - The Red Oasis

The proposed 2006 budget is in, and the liberals are crying foul. No surprises there. After Clinton’s irresponsible fiscal policies set up the disaster we are now climbing out of, the Democrats have spent four years whining about the growing size of the deficit. Now, Bush has turned the economy around, and he is looking to rein the deficit back to a reasonable amount, and the Democrats are going

The news today tells me the Israelis and Palestinians are about to declare a truce. It’s been a long time coming, and could eventually be a watershed event akin to the dismantling of the Berlin Wall. Perhaps there may even come a moment when Bush challenges Sharon to “tear down this wall” that is being built along the west bank border. But, will liberals view this as a positive event in the Bush

It's funny how the Democrats like to trumpet Bill Clinton's legacy. For them, he inherited an economy that the elder Bush had drove into the ground, and turned it into a boom, the junior Bush then drove into the ground. Clinton was, to Democrats, an economic genius and the mainstream press does its best to convince the rest of us they are right. The mantra has been repeated so often that even

Will Howard Dean be the next Chairman of the Democratic National Committee? As a conservative Republican, I certainly hope so. Nothing helps push the conservative agenda more than a far-left liberal Democrat. With Dean at the helm of the Democratic Party, setting the tone of the Democrat’s platform, we can look forward to the party putting up candidates who are: Pro-abortion. Please don’t

I read today in an AP report that 1 in 3 high school students take the First Amendment for granted. What’s worse, when given the choice of personally thinking about the First Amendment or taking it for granted, 37% said they simply did not know. Did not know what? They did not know how they felt? Or did not know what the First amendment was? Either possibility is very scary. This country of mine

Recently, in the southern U.S.A., a court battle was fought over a sticker placed in a text book by a local school board. From a strictly literal perspective the sticker was harmless enough, asking students to critically study a controversial issue, namely evolution as a theory of human origin. Of course, this issue is a lightning rod for debate, pitting the “religion has no place in the
