Exactly How Stupid Do You Have To Be?

Socialism Is Theft – Why Are Candidates Espousing It?
I recently preached a sermon on the subject of stealing in our church’s series on the Ten Commandments. And one of the points I made is that socialism is a form of theft. I mentioned the slogan going around during…
“The Big One”!?!

The Left Doesn’t Know Squat About History

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,…
