Voters Clobber Ebola Party REPRINT

From November 5, 2014

President Barack Hussein Ebola and Senate Majority Leader Harry Ebola got their disease-importing, open-borders, Global Warming  butts kicked yesterday. A few Democrats survived who would otherwise have been sent packing, thanks to third-party spoilers (shame on you, Louisiana) and the self-indulgent types who voted for them. But by and large, it was a good old country thrashing.

Thank you, Lord.

So we’ve been given a chance, maybe a last chance, to stop the piecemeal murder of our country and its purposeful deconstruction into a socialist, bankrupt, lawless, culturally degraded basket case. (Let me know if I’m being wishy-washy here.)

Now we have to worry about whether the Republicans are up to the job. We’ve put the ball in their hands, and they’d better not have butter-fingers. As Rush Limbaugh put it today, this election does not mean America has, overnight, fallen in love with Republicans.

Republicans must overcome their paralyzing fear of the nooze media, their penchant for venal deal-making, and their addiction to playing it safe and trying to get away with doing nothing. They must realize that we took power away from the Democrats to stop the Democrats, and that’s the job we’ve handed to the GOP. And they’d damn well better do it.

Here’s what we want from you, guys:

*Kill any plan to award any kind of amnesty to illegal aliens.

*Stop the appointment of any more left-wing federal judges and department heads.

*Repeal Obamacare in its entirety; and if that’s not possible, gut it piece by piece.

*De-fund federal policies and programs that are hurting the country.

*Rein in the lawlessness of the IRS, the DOJ, the NSA, the EPA and other federal agencies that have lent themselves to partisan political games, and punish those responsible.

*Take an axe to incontinent federal spending.

It’ll take courage, hard work, and perseverance–qualities foreign to many leaders of the GOP–to undo the havoc which six years of Obamaism have wreaked on the country.

But boy, oh, boy, they’d better do it. Because they will not be given a second chance.

REPRINT ‘The Call to Wonder’: R.C. Sproul Jr. Captures the Joy of Christianity

From December 3, 2012

Part of my regular job as an editor for the Chalcedon Foundation is to review books; and I review a lot of them. There’s always a danger that I might get blase about it.

I didn’t expect much from R.C. Sproul Jr.’s The Call to Wonder. I’ve learned a lot from listening to his father, R.C. Sr., on the radio, but I didn’t know much about the son and I hadn’t heard anything about his book.

Now, I’m not quite finished reading it yet, but I think I can safely say, You gotta get this book and read it!

Look, I’m a tough old buzzard with a beard, I study swordsmanship and play basketball… and this little book has several times moved me to tears! I don’t mean those wimpy sissy tears that feminists want men to cry every time they see a flower. No–I mean tears of joy. The joy of realizing that God really is my father in heaven.

If I were a preacher or a missionary, and there were only one single lesson I could teach, it would be this: God is a person. Literally. That’s why He made us persons.

This little book by R.C. Sproul Jr. teaches that lesson better than I ever could, and a lot more besides. If you’re the dancing type, it’ll make you want to dance. You’ll throw your hat up into the air. It’s beautiful, it goes straight to your heart, and you’ll thank me for letting you know about it.

It’s available via amazon.com in both paperback and kindle format.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Very Busy Today

Let’s just say I was very busy all day, but not very efficient.

Got involved in a number of things that I had to address and the day just disappeared on me.  That happens quite often and just now, would you believe it, the keyboard seemed to be acting up.

It’s better now.  That would be all I would need at this point in my day–the keyboard going out.

Very sorry that I didn’t post as much as usual, but it couldn’t be helped.

Things should be a lot better tomorrow.

I am going to quit while I’m ahead.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Another Darwinian Fairy Tale REPRINT

From April 17, 2016

Thanks to Global Warming and all that, says a scientist at the University of Kent, UK, rising sea levels are going to inundate the earth and the human race will evolve to live underwater, complete with gills, webbed feet and hands, an extra layer of fat for insulation, etc., etc. ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3396624/Webbed-feet-cat-s-eyes-gills-Features-just-humans-evolve-deal-water-world-global-warming-second-ice-age.html ) And voila! The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

It’s hard to decide how to label this. Is it poppycock, humbug, or just B.S.?

If a population of human beings devoted themselves, every day for hours at a stretch, to jumping as high as they could and flapping their arms, how long would it take for their arms to “evolve” into wings?

Or, if that’s asking too much of people who just might have better things to do, perhaps we could perform an experiment. Take some bats and don’t let them fly, but rather keep them in a watery environment day in, day out, for as many generations as it takes for the bats’ wings to evolve into flippers. What will we get out of this, other than a lot of wet, uncomfortable, and down-hearted bats?

I mean, is this stuff even science anymore? Our man from Kent relies on mutations to transform the human race into mermaids. That seems like a long shot, to me. But then that’s why the Darwin set insists on millions, or even billions, of years for Evolution to work its magic. Alas, the vast amounts of time involved make observation somewhat impractical. “You just wait a couple million years, and then you’ll see we were right!” What bunk.

And they say we Christians believe in silly things.

 

Today’s Big News! REPRINT

From April 4, 2013

Let’s see… There’s a crazy man in North Korea threatening to nuke our military bases. The truth about Obamacare (“You have to pass it to find out what’s in it!”–Pelosi) is coming out bit by bit, all of it worse than anybody ever imagined. The Middle East is in flames. The European Union is about to collapse.

So what’s today’s big news, dominating the front pages of the newspapers, and the canned AP newscasts on the radio every 20 minutes?

The Rutgers basketball coach has been fired! He used homophobic slurs! Full-scale investigation demanded by New Jersey politicians and media!

OK, I live in the New York media market, and on those days Mayor Bloomberg doesn’t get around to banning something, they don’t know what to write about. But this is just ridiculous.

The legendary basketball coach at Indiana, Bobby Knight, frequently–one might say habitually–acted like he was on angel-dust, and the national news media loved him for it. But I guess he never made homophobic slurs.

Gimme a break.
