It’s about time that a political leader had the courage to take a stand against Sharia law.  Islam is far more than just a religion.  Sharia commands all aspects of daily human life and is incompatible with individual rights.  If you wonder what a country ruled by Sharia looks like, then simply look at the religious tyrannies in the Middle East.  How would you like to live under such a government?  Continue reading →

We often tend to overlook the obvious. The linked article below puts the focus where it belongs.  Traditional marriage has the potential for creating new life.  Gay marriage does not.  That is the essence of the issue. Continue reading →

This discussion is applicable to the current controversy over the Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRA) in Indiana, Arkansas, and other states.  Anti-discrimination laws logically contradict the freedoms of association, religion, and speech.  Most people do not realize this.  Pick one position.  You can’t have both.

Barack Obama pledged to “fundamentally transform America”, and he is succeeding.  As is typical with the radical Liberal/Leftist/Socialist/Progressive/Statists, everything is hidden and nothing is “transparent”.  Unelected bureaucrats are destroying your freedoms, and the transformation of America is happening behind a facade of politically correct language.

My posted comments on the article:

The focus should be on the person who is giving the money, not on the person receiving it. The issue is private property rights. Continue reading →

Rudy Giuliani is exactly correct on this.  Obama has an opportunity to reach out to blacks by using his own family as a role model of a cohesive black family unit.  Continue reading →

The founding of the United States of America was revolutionary because it was founded on a politics of individualism, not on collectivism.  For the first time in history it was recognized that the citizens of a nation were endowed with the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  The government was created to secure theses rights and derived it’s just powers from the consent of the governed.  This implied that each individual citizen was sovereign, that his life belonged to him and was important, and that his moral purpose was to achieve his personal happiness on earth.

One of the problems with Pulitzer Prize–winning syndicated columnists and other “highly educated” writers is that they seem to want to continually impress us with their “intellect” and literary mastery.  Their message often gets a lost in their “poetic prose”.  I don’t pretend to be an intellectual so I can focus on simple clarity.  I value clear communication.  From this perspective I thought I would add my modest comments to portions of an interesting article by George Will.

Excellent article!  Dr Hurd points out that very few Americans understand the importance of philosophical principles, and that is why Sharia law is gaining a foothold in America.  Tolerance is NOT an ideal, for example.  We should be absolutely against murder, dictatorship, and violations of individual rights (all of which Sharia law embraces).  Our fundamental guide should be reason, and we should absolutely reject the irrational.  We need to rediscover the principles of America’s founding—or lose our freedoms.

I disagree completely with the Pope on this issue.  One mighty roar in a principled defense of individual rights would send these cowardly rats scurrying back into their dark little holes.

Nothing occurs in a vacuum.  Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons were a response to the words and deeds of radical Islam.  Cartoonists point out contradictions, hypocrisy, unreasonable threats, and the unjustifiable brutality of actions.  That is the point of satire.  That is all that Charlie Hebdo was doing.  Continue reading →
