So, it's not really a TiVo, but everyone understands that ubiquitous term as opposed to the slightly more obscure PVR -- which is what I'm really using. (Transcript can be found here.) As I have done before, let me re-state my concern about having pastors/priests/men of God dabbling in partisan politics: They shouldn't. Having said […]
Democrats have continued to reach out to the religious community -- all religions. Yep, those are Satanists, one of whom is a Democratic Party official. UPDATE! A day later police have arrested another person as an accessory after the fact in the case -- this time the third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party. […]
After reading my post about Canada's Human Rights Commissions, if you thought that was just north of the border craziness, think again. From Great Britain: The preachers, both ministers in Birmingham, were handing out leaflets on Alum Rock Road in February when they started talking to four Asian youths. A police community support officer (PCSO) […]
There's a line in the Juan Williams article that I reference below that I had missed when it first graced the editorial pages of The New York Times that struck me as symptomatic of the secular left's view of religion and the public policy arena. Writing in response to Barack Obama's "race speech" a couple […]
I am really hesitant to do judge other people's faith. Especially politicians. Especially when the largely religion-less press corps asks questions regarding faith that are more for political consumption than really getting to the substance of a person's faith. However, I think there's a lot of evidence that if Sen. Barack Obama really is a […]
First it was his white grandmother. Then it was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Tonight, Sen. Barack Obama held a press converence and the threw Trinity United Church of Christ under the bus too. (As an aside, if you played the "uhhh" = 1 drink game, you'd be sauced in less than 2 minutes.) The straw […]
The big news last week on the GOP side was the discovery of a years old video of San Antonio megachurch Pastor John Hagee attempting to explain the Holocaust. Hagee said: “ 'And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from every hill and from out of […]
President George W. Bush has gotten hammered for years by many in the media for his religious beliefs. While Bush is positively secular in comparison to many presidents pre-Truman -- take a look at some of FDR's speeches, not to mention Abraham Lincoln's -- that hasn't stopped many on the left from vilifying him. "Christianist" […]
This sort of thing gets Republicans in trouble all the time -- yet never is heard a discouraging word when the Democrats do the same thing. “Tomorrow, we shall achieve the victory, that the kingdom of God may come on earth as it is in heaven, and all those who love the Lord and will […]
With the exception of the military, there is probably no subject that the mainstream media is less qualified to cover intelligently than religion. Case in point is Washington Post writer and "On Faith" co-host Sally Quinn's appearance on PBS' "Charlie Rose" show last week. Newsbusters' Tim Graham reports: Sally Quinn came on with Rev. Floyd […]
