Just read an interesting AP story (here) re. Sen. Frist’s comments today (“…I believe we have a fair and independent judiciary”) which contrasted with those of Rep. Tom Delay. But the interesting part is how slanted the “news” article is. Religious Conservatives are the only ones, apparently, who are dissatisfied with the judiciary [...]
Interesting op/ed (here) concerning trendy “theocracy” demagoguery.
Leftists in France (which is like saying “bigots in Nazi Germany”) are outraged (here) that France officially lowered flags to half-mast in honor of the Pope’s passing . . . I guess if you believe in God you are a non-person, and certainly unworthy of remembrance. If not for Reagan and Pope John Paul [...]
See this excellent blog post (here) on the disingenuous polling practices of the dominant media (hat tip, The Corner).
One thing that I noticed today in coverage about the Pope’s death is the media’s consistent reporting of the common view among the public (both Catholic and non-Catholic) that the Pope was wrong on various issues (you know the ones…) but at least he was a “man of peace.” See here, here, here. [...]
In recent posts I’ve sounded off on the idiocy of claiming that only Conservatives are influenced by beliefs in considering public policy. Well, this bit of excellent reporting on Michael Schiavo’s attorney demonstrates how ludicrous this hackneyed secularist accusation is. It describes Mr. Felos’ spiritualish journey that manifests itself in his legal work [...]
Perhaps feeling–post-Clinton, the political pain of being known as liars, the Left has worked overtime characterizing every action of the President as dishonest (ref. “Bush Lied.”). Fast forward to today when Senior Kerry Campaign adviser and Clinton Administration Nat’l Security Adviser Sandy Berger pled guilty to stealing and shredding with scissors original documents pertaining [...]
In a news story about the pope’s likely successor, this revealing comment about conventional Media opinion, “The next pope will confront a range of challenges, including scientific advances that conflict with Catholic teaching.” Now, I’m not Catholic and I won’t defend everything that they believe, but I can’t think of a “Catholic teaching” that [...]
I am saddened by the Pope’s failing health and I will miss his presence–particularly for the courage he typically demonstrated in standing up to totalitarianism. (Laurie and I did missions work in Poland for a summer while it was still a soviet satellite state, and it was invigorating to observe the impact of Solidarity [...]
