Freedom equals humility, not pride

It seems that the one thing the left and the right can agree on is that our nation no longer enjoys a binding "cult" of ideological unity, common cause, common sense, i.e. sense that is common.

How to respond to those who use absolutes to refute absolutes

Standard fare for any conservative Christian who dares to open his mouth in the public square today is to be called a "bigot," a "hater" and an "intolerant SOB" for doing so. My experience is no exception. Predictable responses to my weekly columns often include comments such as, "You're an idiot. You are a hateful crank. You are an embarrassment to our community. You're arrogant. You always think that you're right. The real enemy of truth is people like you who want to impose your 'truth' on the rest of us."

Why believers of the faith must confront sin, not yield to it

This past week, Kevin Mannoia, who presently serves as the chaplain of Azusa Pacific University and who is the past president of the National Association of Evangelicals, testified before the California legislature in favor of Assembly Concurrent Resolution 99 (ACR 99).

Conservatives are actually pro-science, liberals are not

The National Assessment of Educational Progress has issued its "Nation's Report Card" on America's schools and the data is clear. Private schools -- which are mostly religious -- outperform their public-school counterparts in science scores in almost every subcategory, including physical science, life science and earth science.

A month of humility is far better than a ‘pride month’

On June 1, 2019, Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, tweeted a reminder to Catholics in his diocese that they should not support this month's "Pride Month." "These events," said the bishop, "promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals and especially harmful to children."

Why objectivity and honesty, not politics, must drive science

This past Wednesday, May 29, former Vice President Al Gore spoke to the graduating seniors at Harvard University. A summary of his talk? There is an "assault on science" that threatens "the capacity of the human species to endure" on planet Earth.

Current pack of Democratic candidates seem downright Orwellian

Jonah Goldberg's recent piece, titled "Who Cares About National Unity?" (April 26, 2019, National Review) is the required reading of the week. In fact, dare I suggest, it should be a required reading of the year. Or at least required of every registered voter in the United States before he is allowed to cast his ballot in the next election. This truly is the kind of stuff that every adult who fancies himself a remotely informed voter must read, consider, digest and take to heart if we have any hope of continuing to be a free nation and a free people.

If Democrats can make up definitions, so can everyone else

In the April 23, 2019, edition of the NPR Update, Tom Gjelten posted a column he titled "How Would Jesus Vote?" In that column, Mr. Gjelten presents the South Bend, Indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg, as a new kind of "Christian" politician a "married" homosexual who favors the eisegesis of inclusion, acceptance and tolerance rather than the exegesis of doctrine, dogma and clear definitions.

The original ‘trans-community’ is the story of Easter

Trans-gendered. Trans-abled. Trans-species. Trans-identity. It is hard to spend more than five minutes reading the daily news without being bombarded by stories about those who tell us of "transitioning" — stories of what has come to be called the "trans-community."

Pete Buttigieg doesn’t get to make up his own Christianity

South Bend, Indiana, mayor and presumptive 2020 presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg, recently took to the national stage to attack Vice President Mike Pence and, by association, tens of millions of America's orthodox Christians.

Illustration on the infantilization of American culture by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times

Progressive tolerance and millennial love

It is time we face the facts. My industry — our country's educational establishment — has produced a nation of intellectual infants who are incapable of crawling out of their emotional cribs.
