Our government is considering allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the U.S. military by rescinding Bill Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy which allows homosexuals to serve in the military as long as their sexual behavior is kept secret. But General John Sheehan testified before congress and revealed an important lesson which illustrates why this would be foolhardy. Read more »

External factors are only symptoms and not the causes of evil engineering. Uncivility in people, as well, is just a symptom of a deeper problem. The causes have to do with spiritual depravity and degeneration in those who turn away from God, and those who never seek to know Him in the first place. Read more »

Martha Coakley made it clear in a recent interview that she doesn’t consider the dictates of conscience relevant–at least not when it stands in the way of a health care worker assisting in an abortion. But the founders of our nation considered conscience a sacred thing, not to be violated. Read more »

Cynics say the term “celebrity justice” is an oxymoron. They point to the cases of O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson as examples; but most recently they point to Roman Polanski as the reason for their cynicism. However, after 30 years of evading justice, the notorious director—indicted in 1977 for drugging, raping, and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl—may finally be required give an account for his actions.

Robert says that he first became aware of his “disability” at age 10.  It became a disability “that would rule [his] life.”  It robbed the enthusiasm of his youth and kept him from enjoying relationships, male and female, during that time of life when he should have been playing sports, interacting with peers in common [...] Read more »
