Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty, Gays & Gracious Speech

December 19th, 2013 | 4 Comments

In the last 24 hours, the kerfuffle over Duck Dynasty and Phil Robertson’s GQ interview seems to have sparked two widely divergent, yet tenaciously held, opinions. The first, held by Sarah Palin (here), Mike Huckabee (here), and other conservatives, seems to believe that The First Amendment is being trampled on by the godless Hollywood/Media complex that seeks to destroy every last vestige of Christianity in our nation. The second opinion, held by the Gay Rights Lobby and their supporters in the government and media, seems to think that Phil Robertson has committed the unpardonable sin that will lead to unspeakable acts of evil being perpetrated against the homosexual community. For this, he must not only be punished by losing his job on Duck Dynasty, his own family’s reality show, but … Read entire article »

2013 Elections: A View From a Blue State Conservative

In yesterday’s off-year elections for Governor, Chris Christie, a conservative Republican, coasted to a second term in blue state New Jersey while Ken Cuccinelli, the conservative, Tea Party leaning Republican Attorney General came up short against Terry McAuliffe in the purple-turning-blue state of Virginia.  How one interprets the results of these two elections will determine whether or not Republicans will continue to wonder in the political wilderness for another four or eight years following the 2016 Presidential contest. One would be hard pressed to write off Christie’s re-election as nothing more than a popular moderate (RINO) beating an unpopular and relatively unknown challenger. That would be a mistake. Christie cruised to an easy win, becoming the … Read entire article »

Desmond Tutu, a Homophobic Heaven & Muddled Theology

Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, apparently has a very strong view when it comes to equal rights for homosexuals. This past July at a United Nations’ gay rights campaign kick-off in Cape Town, Tutu, the retired South African Archbishop of the Anglican Church, was quoted as saying: I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place. … I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.” Tutu, ever the passionate advocate for social justice, believes that the current fight for gay rights is every bit as important as his previous … Read entire article »

Happy Halloween, Trunk or Treat, & Redeeming the Day

Happy Halloween! I used to say that all the time growing up and even into my adulthood. What does that greeting really mean, anyway? As a Christian, I was certainly not giving my endorsement to all things Satanic and demonic. It was simply meant as a way of acknowledging a holiday that is, for most kids (and even adults), about one thing and one thing only — CANDY! And, lots of it. For many Christians, Halloween has become associated with spiritual darkness and the occult. Witches, vampires, ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and zombies now outnumber princesses and super heroes in the neighborhood on Halloween night. What to do? Retreat into our homes and turn off the lights, … Read entire article »

Obama & NSA Eavesdropping: How Could He Not Know?

How could President Obama not have known about the National Security Agency’s (NSA) eavesdropping program aimed at the leaders of some of America’s closest allies? It seems unfathomable that the President of the United States was unaware for most of the five years of his Presidency that the NSA as spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel leaders other countries, including Mexico and Brazil. But, apparently that is the story that the NSA is spinning today. According to one official, President Obama was not in the loop on the NSA’s eavesdropping on the German leader: The officials quoted by The Wall Street Journal said it was understandable that Obama did not know about the phone tapping of Merkel … Read entire article »
