Why are questions about Communist China asked only in the Democratic
presidential debates? We want to know what the Republican candidates
plan to do about China sending us poisoned foods and toys.
All presidential candidates should be asked what they plan to do
about the fact that free trade with China means acquiescing in gross
discrimination against U.S. products and [...]

Democracy in America, vol.2, p.8
AT different periods dogmatical belief is more or less abundant. It arises in different ways, and it may change its object or its form; but under no circumstances will dogmatical belief cease to exist, or, in other words, men will never cease to entertain some implicit opinions without trying them by [...]

Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends: for this reason I have spoken it. I was persuaded that many would take upon themselves to announce the new blessings which the principle of equality promises to mankind, but that few would dare [...]

NewsMax.com's David Limbaugh writes today:
Newsweek's Anna Quindlen recently wrote that a presidential victory for Rudy Giuliani "wouldn't be a good thing for this country, but his candidacy may wind up being a good thing for his party," which Quindlen obviously believes has been hijacked by the Christian right.

I always liked girls. No one had to tell [...]

Liberty and license are not synonymous. Parents know better.
Too many of them have had the unfortunate dilemma of dealing with the "I am free to do as I please" child who routinely, or upon occasion, exercises that egocentric proclamation to reckless extremes. These parents stand as witnesses that a widely accepted notion that [...]

Not far removed from Marx's elitist man-as-God theory (meaning, more particularly, Marx or the ruling class or the state as God), of all the popular takes on religion in law in America that miss the mark, none is more pervasive, none strike closer to the root, than the worship of the Humanist God of [...]

Last week, EdWatch Action alerted you to an amendment that Senator Ted Kennedy announced he would attempt to add to the Defense spending bill. Kennedy and co-sponsor Sen. Gordon Smith call it a "hate crimes" amendment. Since all crimes are inspired by hate, the amendment is actually a speech crimes bill. It mandates federal involvement [...]

Not that the writing wasn't on the wall: From my May 2000 archives, eight months before Bush took the oath of office.
If one's works do not within reason match one's faith, the Good Book says, then that man's faith is vain. After all, one can take a masquerade only so far, and no further.

Things are not always as they seem. Marxism's war on religion presents evidence-a-plenty that this notion is true.
From both the left, in the name of Social Democracy, and from the right, in the name of Secular Government, Marx's Atheistic teammates have pushed, shoved and pressed upon religion in public life until a bipartisan [...]
