Throughout our history, free speech has been cherished in the United States of America. Thankfully, we have the First Amendment which mandates that “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech.” It not only protects this right, but also…
There is No Wall Of Separation
“. . .One needs to protect the church from the state because the latter will utilize its enormous powers to do what the state has always done – either subvert the religion or destroy it. If we continue our slide…
The Left Goes After Religious Liberty
“The freedom to worship is one of our nation’s most fundamental rights. That First Amendment guarantee should never be used to undermine other Americans’ civil rights or subject them to discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, or…
Manipulating The Media
Two beliefs safely inhabit the canon of contemporary thinking about journalism. The first is that the internet is the most powerful force disrupting the news media. The second is that the internet and the communication and information tools it spawned,…
Free Speech

Are You As Stupid As The Left Thinks You Are?

That story about California’s proposed legislation to ban “fake news”–by which they mean any reportage or commentary that they, the exalted rulers, don’t like–has inspired some gloomy thoughts among my friends. Because the leftid Bad Guys are acting like they…
The Second Amendment First, and the First Amendment Second

Bad Publicity After Rejecting Ad from Vets Group
The NFL can’t afford more bad publicity, but that’s exactly what they’re getting after their latest clash with veterans. You’d think the league’s abysmal ratings would have them rethinking their business model. Not so far, according to Fox News’s Todd Starnes.…

God’s Word Silenced for 30 Pieces of Silver
Pastors, Take Off Your Skirts and Your Make-Believe Muzzle and Fight! Fake news is all of the rage in America today. If the Truth be told there are a lot of “fake” things that we believe. In fact, many of…
The Sharia Creep
No, the Sharia Creep is not a new plant species, but it is just as invasive as the Kudzu vine well-known to Southerners. It has found its way into the U.S. financial district, our schools, our government and court systems. If its current rate of…
