Thank God that Jimmy Carter isn't president today. The man has done a lot of good through his work with Habitat for Humanity, but he opened his mouth at Emory University and promptly stuck his foot in it. ATLANTA �� Former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday criticized President Bush's labeling three countries an "axis of […]
How does China really treat Christians? Well, it tortures them to death, according to Freedom House. Pastor Gong was sentenced to death on December 5 on charges of operating an "evil cult" and on the seemingly trumped-up charges of rape and assault. The month-long period for deciding his appeal was extended January 5 by a […]
After trying a couple of times, it appeared that American reporters finally got Chinese President Jiang Zemin to answer a question on religious liberty, or lack thereof, in China. During the 37-minute news conference, the Chinese president twice initially ignored questions from U.S. reporters about why his government restricts practicing religious faith and has imprisoned […]
He lies to himself so often, he no longer knows the truth: The Foxnews crawl, that little strip of news briefs that "crawls" along the bottom of the screen contains the following tidbits. Vatican: Catholic clergy are forbidden to worship by Beijing. Vatican News Agency: More than 50 Roman Catholic clergy have been detained or […]
The Wall Street Journal's Claudia Rosett has praise for Santee Mayor Randy Voepel and nothing but scorn for the repressive Chinese Communist regime.

Credit for the most outrageous comment of the day goes to Larry Joe Doherty of the Foxnews show "Texas Justice." Appearing on the "O'Reilly Factor," the lawyer attempted to defend child-killer Andrea Yates. Doherty contended that Yates was insane at the time of the act. That she didn't know right from wrong. O'Reilly: "Then why […]
More proof that campaign-finance reform is a joke. The Hill newspaper is reporting that before the Shays-Meehan bill has even passed the Senate, Democrats are already making plans to circumvent the new rules. As comprehensive campaign finance reform nears its expected enactment, House Democratic lawmakers have already adopted strategies for redirecting the flow of large […]
Why? Because it's funny: Twenty British commandos had a tryout for the Keystone Cops yesterday after invading Spain, instead of Gibraltar. One headline: "Raid on Spain was plainly in vain." But I love the comment from the British Ministry of Defence spokesman: "We are not trying to take Spain and we have no plans to […]
Idiot of the day: Columbia University literature professor Edward Said weighs in with this doozy in an online discussion group: The slogan "NYC, Terror Free" worries me. To throw anyone out of New York would be unjust. The cycle of hostilities since September 11th have (sic) spun out of control. My answer to PLO out […]
"Special Report with Brit Hume" today on Foxnews did a report on how some California schools are teaching "tolerance." Specifically tolerance for homosexuals. Now, I've had this debate before with some politically liberal friends, but let me make it clear that there is a difference between "tolerance" and "acceptance."
