Returning to Normalcy

Well, Justin Raimondo has successfully killed my politics buzz.

Republicans

I’m not ready to become a Republican again, but it was kind of fun to hear all the jabs at Obama.  Giuliani really tore him up.

A Few More Political Thoughts

Not that I needed to tell you, but Obama simply isn’t an option. He’s messianic, which is scary enough, but he’s also hypocritical, which wouldn’t really be noteworthy in politics, except that he’s spent so much time promoting “Change” and a different kind of politics. Well, some young college-types fell for that, sure. [...]

Palin

This is a genius play by the McCain campaign.  This lady is younger than Barack Obama, more attractive, is a feminist “for life”- meaning prolife, she’s an outdoorswoman who wants to drill, and she has the sympathy card due to a disabled child.
But perhaps most of all, she’s just made the GOP ticket more interesting, [...]

Paleoconservativism?

(I’m thinking about starting a series of posts that could be categorized as “Dear Peter” posts.  In this project, I would bait my friend Peter Escalante into leaving post-length comments, since it is so hard to get him to take the initiative in posting.  Others are free to chime in as well, but I will [...]

Redemption is simply God’s righteousness and power manifesting themselves (itself?) in fallen creation, and these are the very same things that created in the first place (since they are Jesus). Salvation is, [...]

If, however, any one say, “What then? Could not God have exhibited man as perfect from [...]

2 Kingdomz 4 Life

Andrew has been taking it pretty hard to the neo-two kingdoms socio-political theory. I can’t say that I would use the scatological language anymore (I’m trying to do better), but it is hard to say that folks who are personally opposed to abortion but cannot be so politically are anything other than fools in [...]

Sex and Money

Doug Jones has a thought-provoking post comparing economic sins with sexual sins, arguing against the normal conservatives that economic sins are weightier than sexual ones.
I do appreciate his desire to challenge us, although I’m not sure I can really agree that we need any sort of “primacy.” His Trinitarian point is, in this regard, [...]

Another Aspect to the Obama Thing

We’re familiar with Jeremiah Wright, and I’ve said a bit about him elsewhere. However, another Black pastor made the news on a smaller scale because of his rhetoric and view of Obama, and I’ve been reading some of his stuff. James David Manning studied at the same seminary as Jeremiah Wright, but has [...]
