Tim Tebow, Football & Anti-Christian Bias

October 21st, 2011 | 18 Comments

For football fans and even for some non-football fans, say the name Tim Tebow and you are sure to start a “discussion” that will be anything but mild.  Tebow,perhaps unlike any other athlete in professional sports, engenders strong feelings.  There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to evaluating Tim Tebow – the football player and the person.  From the talking heads on ESPN (see yours truly quoted in an ESPN The Magazine article here), the NFL Network, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, and the local media in Denver, everyone has an opinion about Tim Tebow.  Sadly, many of those opinions are rooted in what can only be explained as anti-Christian bias. Most “analysts”  try to hide their religious bias when it comes to Tebow, but there are a few who are open (and seemingly proud) of their … Read entire article »

Obama: Hoping He Fails or Hoping for the Best?

October 7th, 2011 | 12 Comments

“9-11 changed me somewhat… Barack Obama is a bigger disaster to this country than 9-11. (emphasis added)  If you took the phrase ‘fair share’ ‘millionaires and billionaires’ and ‘pass this bill’ out of his vocabulary he would be unable to deliver a speech…  The American people developed a fighting spirit after 9-11 and we responded back after them.  And if allowed to defeat would be total.  But, Barack Obama, what he has done to our economy, what he has done to the American spirit of individual responsibility and self-reliance… Killing three thousand people is a tragedy, Sean.  It is a real tragedy.  But, killing the individualism, the self-reliance, and the self-respect of the American people like Barack Obama has done is much more of a tragedy.” (Neal Bortz on the Sean … Read entire article »

Piers Morgan’s Drive-by of Joel & Victoria Osteen

October 5th, 2011 | 5 Comments

I am no fan of Joel and Victoria Osteen.  Far from it.  Any Christian pastor like Osteen who uses Israel’s most wicked King — Ahab — as a positive example of faith in God will not often evoke much, if any, sympathy from me.  However, last night I found myself at times strangely sympathetic towards Joel (Victoria not so much) Osteen as he was being “interviewed” by America’s favorite nit-wit Brit, Piers Morgan.  If one of my church members had not called to let me know my “favorite” pastor was on CNN’s low-rated replacement for Larry King Live, I would have missed watching Mr. Morgan’s drive-by attack on America’s most well-known Christian minister. In the old days, when Larry King was still at the helm, the Osteens were given the kid glove treatment by King, … Read entire article »

Hank Williams, Fools, Hitler & Double Standards

October 4th, 2011 | 8 Comments

Are you ready for some football?  A Monday night party?  Well, the Monday Night Football party (such as it is) will apparently continue without Hank Williams, Jr. — at least for now.  Williams, whose signature song, “All My Rowdy Friends,” has been synonymous with Monday Night Football on ABC and ESPN since 1991, has been given the hook by the powers-that-be at ESPN after comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler.  Given multiple opportunities to backtrack and clarify during a Monday morning interview on Fox & Friends, Williams did himself no favors.  He apparently forgot (if he ever knew) the maxim, “When you’re in a hole, stop digging.” Williams has dug himself into a hole that he is not likely to get out of anytime soon, if ever.  What exactly did Williams say that caused such … Read entire article »
