Are Our Ideologies Our Idols?
via The Anchoress by TheAnchoress on January 30, 2008
The Wall Street Journal has an editorial up entitled McCain’s Apostacies.Think about that for a minute. His differences with his party are not differences, they’re “apostacies.” He is, apparently, a heretic who has departed too sharply away from the dogmas and sacraments of The Church of Conservatism.And he’s the pro-life guy!I’ve been thinking for a while that the hyperpartisanship...

Castro/Columbus/Catholicism & everything in between
via The Anchoress by TheAnchoress on February 18, 2008
If you’re following the step-down of Fidel Castro,Fausta’s is the place to be - she’s got the best round-up. Some of the headlines, however, make Castro sound like he’s primed for Sainthood, and Newsbusters is keeping tabs on the glows and halos.Speaking of glows and halos, I think I linked to this piece a little bit ago, but it’s worth running again, as we anticipate the next...

Bush and Hillary are both dancing
via The Anchoress by TheAnchoress on February 20, 2008
... you, George Bush.”“Thank you for democracy,” she crooned over the electric guitar, shaking her hips wrapped in yellow cloth. “Thank you for the rule of law,” she sang. “Thank you for debt relief.”Don Surber calls Bushthe best friend Africa ever had:Bush’s record in Africa is amazing. Despite a $3 trillion budget, presidents don’t get a lot of say in how the money is spent. Ha...

A Chilling Trailer
via The Anchoress by TheAnchoress on March 05, 2008
... hear often that religion represses science - note the lie that Christians oppose stem fund research (we never have; we’ve only opposed the destruction of embryos for the purpose) - but we never hear about how the devotees of political correctness will work to undermine, discredit or silence those who dare to question the status quo. I’m looking forward to seeing this film.ShareThis

We’re already seeing food prices soar (and the risk of hunger issues in third world countries worldwide) due to the rush to replace fossil fuels with grain.Now a troubling story of biofuel pollution: After residents of the Riverbend Farms subdivision noticed that an oily, fetid substance had begun fouling the Black...

David Mamet, “Classical Liberal.”
via The Anchoress by TheAnchoress on March 11, 2008
David Mamet, in a very well-done piece in the Village Voice declares himself “no longer a ‘brain-dead liberal’” and he sounds like he is a free man, and he sounds relieved, too.Do I speak as a member of the “privileged class”? If you will—but classes in the United States are mobile, not static, which is the Marxist view. That is: Immigrants came and continue to come here penniless...
