We are officially living in clown world. Exhibit A: According to Right Wing Watch and other proponents of progressive hegemony, calling our nihilistic society “clown world” is now deemed “racist.” You know, just like milk. And the “okay sign,” say the paragons of anti-whiteness and anti-logic, the SPLC and the ADL. Exhibit B: The existence …
Well, I began my last series with a shooting, and now we have another alleged “neo-Nazi” shooting. Both the violence that unfolded in Squirrel Hill, Pennsylvania, in October, and in Christchurch, New Zealand, in mid-March make it abundantly clear that it’s not actually loss of life that’s the story. Dead Christians don’t matter If the …
“Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called anti-Semitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?” Democracy Now‘s Amy Goodman asked Shulamit Aloni in 2002. “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it,” Aloni replied. “When from Europe somebody is criticizing …
“It is un-Christian to wear a MAGA to the March For Life.” That was the social-media pronouncement from a really nice guy I know. What would make a usually mild-mannered Christian post such hostility? Moreover, this statement came a whole week after the brouhaha surrounding the male students from Covington Catholic High School. A whole week …
If you read my last blog, “Damn straight MAGA’s the new Battle Flag!” you may be asking yourself, “But what can we do? How can we counter progressivism? How can we ‘conservatives’ fight the madness?” Well, here are 5 suggestions – ideas that I think the “Covington kids” controversy made abundantly clear but need to be fully …
“Criticizing Judaism is not anti-Semitic. Criticizing the policies of the state of Israel is not ant-Semitic. Criticizing the evil that some Jews do is not anti-Semitic,” wrote Father John Whiteford. “Lumping all Jews together, when criticizing the evils that some Jews do is anti-Semitic.” Just as this Orthodox Christian priest so pointedly explains, it’s okay …
“Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it.” — G.K. Chesteron Just as the “tree of guilt” obstructs our view of the forest (as discussed in Part 1), its roots run deep, establishing a wild entanglement, strong …
A sane, rational person can simultaneously feel sorrow over the lives lost in the recent Pittsburgh shooting and pray for their grieving families, while also critiquing the many predictable-to-extreme progressive commentaries saturating the social ether. Intellectual honesty and compassion are not mutually exclusive, even though that’s what cultural Marxists want you to think. It’s a …
“In my experience, it’s too simplistic (and unfair) to blame one group of people for our collective failure to evangelize,” said Pastor J.D. Greear, who last month was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Yet that’s exactly what he and the other race-hustlers do: blame white Christians and their “inertia” and “privilege” for the …
I’m often asked why I use a pen name. I could tell you that it’s because it’s kinda cool to be in the company of other great writers who used pseudonyms, like O. Henry, Tennessee Williams, and Dr. Seuss. But honestly, it’s because I’m an anti-leftist writer, and the left is treacherous and unhinged as hell. I’m …
