Quote of the Day: "Language must mirror reality."
My adult Bible study just began an overview of Ravi Zacharias' book, Cries of The Heart. Today's section has this quote: Language and reason are the special endowments of humanity, the pinnacle of God's creation. When we cease to understand the role of language we misuse that privilege and can... Read more...

Thoughts on the END OF THE WORLD that, well, wasn't
It has been rather amusing - and somewhat painful - to watch all the sturm und drang that Harold Camping's prediction of the world's end on 21 May stirred up. I wasn't too surprised when the media et al. hyped it because that's what they do - and God forbid... Read more...

Friday Night Fights: The Andrew Sullivan Vs Chris Matthews Smackdown
In a rather heated---and remarkable, considering it was on the usually vacuous Bill Maher show---exchange Friday night, Andrew Sullivan and JFK sycophant Chris Matthews engaged in this passionate exchange over JFK's legacy. The issue was JFK's predilection for a dovish or hawkish foreign policy. As evidence for his own hero worship, Matthews brought up the Cuban Missile Crisis, forever interpreted by the Left as proof of JFK's Godlike stature, after he single handily saved humanity and such. It seemed that Matthews got the better of the exchange, which is sad because Sullivan had the better argument. Kennedy's domestic critics thought him unprepared for the presidency, and called him "a callow playboy". There was one other man who shared this assessment, namely Nikita Khrushchev. Of Kennedy he said: The man is very... Read more...

Well, D'UH!
There are many arguments for a flat tax: Compliance costs are lower, it’s easier to understand, it doesn’t create a divide-and-conquer dynamic with regard to the tax brackets, it aligns taxpayers’ incentives, etc. But there’s a practical moral argument, too: The tax code is corrupt. Using the tax code as... Read more...

New McCarthyism Watch: Sean Penn
McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence. Sean Penn, the dictator loving, all around Leftist nut job, tells us exactly what he thinks. To wit:And, and there, yet there’s another problem. You have what I call the “Get the ‘N’-word out of the White House party,” the Tea Party, this kind of sensibility, which is much more of a distraction- If you ask a representative of the Tea Party, “okay, Social Security, socialist, get rid of it,” they're going to get very confused. What the, what they're -- at the end of the day, there's a big bubble coming out of their heads saying, you know, “can we just lynch him?” Again, the Hollywood Left has no--none--evidence of these insinuations and yet they make them as settled fact. That is the dictionary definition of McCarthyism, and that's why we can say Sean Penn is a McCarthyite without... Read more...

Rich, Spoiled Harvard Elite "Occupy Boston" To Protest The....
Err, rich spoiled elite Harvard grads that run the economy. I guess they are protesting against the behavior of their dads and uncles and such. As such:Ever hear of Dunster Street, comrade? It’s right there in the middle of Harvard Square. The cops early Monday lugged a resident of 101 Dunster St., age 23, and he was “white non-Hispanic.” But then, aren’t all of the 99 percent? Oppressors. It’s odd, too. Those arrested are almost all under 25 ... or over 55.In other words, too spoiled and young to have ever wield much responsibility, or a bunch of early retired leftover 60's has beens.

Democrats Discover Who Is To Blame For Our Current Woes: The Voters !!!
Democrats find Democracy as an unwelcome impediment to progress these days. To wit: House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer suggested Tuesday that voters are to blame for the partisan bickering and standoffs that have defined Congress this year. The Maryland Democrat said voters are “absolutely right” to think that “Congress isn’t working very well.” But that dysfunction, he said, is largely of their own making. Democrats and liberals seem to be making this anti democracy message more and more these days. Read more...
