On August 15, 2012, a self-identified left-wing political activist entered the lobby of the Family Research Council armed with 100 rounds of ammunition. He told prosecutors that he intended to kill as many staff members as possible. He wound up shooting the security guard before being subdued. His rampage was inspired by the Southern Poverty Law [...]
The midseason finale of the Shonda Rhimes show, "Scandal," featured Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington, having an abortion. While her child was being aborted, "Silent Night" played in the background; the show ended with a self-satisfied Pope listening to "Ave Maria." What makes Rhimes tick? After some digging, it appears that libertinism and narcissism are [...]
Atheist Herman Mehta has insisted that "Christians don't own December." In fact, we do. Just as blacks own February—it is Black History Month—Christians own December. Atheists own nothing, which is consistent, of course, with what they believe. This has to be said given all the forlorn stories generated by the media in 2015 about all the [...]
The superintendent in charge of schools in Johnson County, Kentucky censored all references to religion in last year's Christmas celebrations. Specifically, he banned a presentation of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at one school, and ordered another not to allow "Silent Night" to be performed. He said he was following the advice of school district attorneys. This [...]
In a world where Christians are routinely being murdered and raped in the name of God, even non-believers must be curious about the rise of Satanism. Here at home we are also witnessing a surge in Satanic attacks. Until two years ago, Satanists were never bothered by the presence of a menorah on public property in [...]
"Concussion," which stars Will Smith, opened on Christmas Day, and while it may not put the N.F.L. in the best light, officials at Sony made every effort not to bash the football industry. They never afforded Catholics similar treatment. We know from a revealing story in the New York Times last September that Sony "found itself [...]
At the same time that schools are censoring "Silent Night" from being sung at their annual "holiday" concerts, others are forcing students to pay homage to Muhammad. Regarding the latter, when a teacher at Riverheads High School in Virginia assigned students to practice calligraphy by writing, "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger [...]
There are many innocent priests who have been railroaded by lying accusers, malicious so-called victims' advocates, rapacious lawyers, and biased newspapers, but few have been more badly treated than Philly's Msgr. William Lynn. Recently, a Pennsylvania appellate court overturned his conviction—for a second time—and ordered a new trial. The badly tainted Philadelphia D.A., Seth Williams, has [...]
If it were the nation's goal to increase sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among gay men, nothing would work better than to follow the advice of pro-gay organizations. The anti-gay defamation group, GLAAD has boasted that three decades after AIDS was uncovered, it "has reshaped our culture and created historic levels of acceptance." On the same page [...]
Recently, a report was published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention titled "Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance 2014." After decades of the most progressive sex education programs in our nation's history, and the most massive distribution of free condoms ever undertaken, never has the rate of sexually transmitted diseases been worse. The rates among blacks [...]
