While reviewing the representation with America's collegiate student body of various demographic groups, someone has noticed that a particular segment of society was underrepresented -- specifically, poor people. » read more »

As this column indicates, the distance from ancient Baal worship to modern leftism isn't exactly a giant leap. It's actually barely a step. And they call themselves "progressives."

Me personally, I wouldn't be caught dead going to a Wal-Mart the day after Thanksgiving. Tragically, it appears that one man did die from being trampled by enthusiastic shoppers on America's biggest shopping day. What does this say about our values, let alone our ability to control ourselves?

Obama wants to pass the Orwellian-named "Freedom of Choice" act. This bill, if enacted, would nullify nearly all current laws that restrict abortion in any way.

I suppose we see so much of this sort of thing that we can be inured to it, but sometimes it sticks in my craw. Have a look at this video, and then ask yourself what would have been the response -- from the police and the media -- if it had been KKK members, rather than the Black Panthers, outside the polling place.

Lately, I have been reading the book of Ezekiel. In some of the early chapters, I have been struck with the manner in which the events and visions described in God's Word parallel events that we see in America today. » read more »

A recent study reveals that kids who spend time with their fathers have higher IQs. The difference in IQ is detectable until after the children are in their 40s.
