Character is destiny
As we are about to inaugurate a historic new president, it is good to remember MLK Jr’s hope that blacks (and all of us) would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. In my history classes, we are covering the explosion of immigration that took place [...]

Sarah Palin, McCain’s VP pick
Quote from Gov. Palin about her son Trig, born in April with Down’s Syndrome: “Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We [...]

Chinese Olympic Success
I have been waiting for an article like this. I knew it would come. Totalitarian regimes often do well at the Olympics. Hitler’s Olympic team in 1936 was very successful. The old Soviet teams were also. Requiring people to train 10 hours a day after having recruited them based on their genetic makeup will work [...]

This is how it starts…

Conservatives: Happier than liberals?
Read this. It’s obvious that there is a background assumption at work here: conservatives may be happier, but it’s only because they live in denial-induced ignorant bliss, selfishly ignoring the plight of those less fortunate. When I was a young man, I was a liberal. Why? I thought that the liberals were the compassionate ones-those [...]

Iraq
From Michael Totten on Iraq (Read the whole thing): I stepped inside the school yard. Hundreds of children saw me and the Marines, and the whole place erupted in screams of excitement. It was as if Britney Spears or the guy from Coldplay had shown up. The volume was just extraordinary and I took a [...]

Obama, Jesus, and Paul
Sen. Obama may regret these words (full story here): “I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer property to each other,” he said, referring to unions that grant all the legal benefits of marriage, minus the name. “I don’t think it should be called [...]

blogging
I have finally started a blog! Probably should have done this years ago. Here’s a great article about Lincoln’s faith in honor of his birthday. It has my favorite quote from Lincoln: “Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray—that this mighty scourge of war might speedily pass away,” he said. “Yet if God wills that [...]
