Feminist Follies and Political Poppycock

Chesterton and the Family

Is Europe Finished? More Fallout From Cologne

Jan 10, 2016

One hundred German women sexually assaulted by a thousand migrants and recent refugee arrivals may have finally woken Europe up – if it is not too late already. Cologne was not alone, with many other German and European cities also

Islam, the Hijab, and Clueless Westerners

Jan 1, 2016

The Downward Plunge of American Christianity

Antics of the Angry God-Hating Atheists

Nov 17, 2014

Yeah, yeah, I know these guys claim there is no God. Yet they spend their entire lives complaining about and hating on this God they say does not exist. They are absolutely obsessed with and phobic about someone they insist

Bigotry, Agendas, and Guilt

Aug 11, 2014

It will come as a shock to some people, especially the secular lefties, but when someone has guilt feelings, it is usually because they are in fact guilty. So instead of just trying to deal with the superficial level of

Burqa Bans
