Steve Szeghi An earth-worshiper, a.k.a. an “economics professor” at Wilmington College? He is an advocate of “social justice and the environment.” He is a co-author of Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy. Wonderful. But for many such folks, an important principle is missing: the Creator of that earth – which he errantly worships in […]

Steve Szeghi wants to butcher babies In the name of “Reproductive Freedom”! Even paid for a page in the paper To promote such a wicked caper. Wake up to what you’re talkin’ about! Fancy words give your message no clout! You know they wanted “freedom” to own slaves Back in those dark ante-bellum days, But […]

Ohio Gov. DeWine calls himself “much more skeptical” on the matter of the death penalty than he had been when he voted in favor of it. He gives one criterion – deterrence of crime – as the basis of his support of it. And as this deterrence principle has become doubtful – in his mind […]

A reply to a Washington Post article of Nov. 8, 2018 – Original article can be found here: https://www.columbiamissourian.com/opinion/guest_commentaries/editorial-signs-of-returning-to-a-healthy-democracy/article_7c3a686e-e372-11e8-9292-339703993983.html “Signs of Returning to a Healthy Democracy,” from the left-wing Washington Post was featured in the Wilmington News Journal on 13 November. It heralds the return of the House to the Dems rattling off complaints about […]

30 Oct., 2018 “Where have all the children gone?” So pondered Randy Riley (WNJ, 29 Oct., 2018). Randy Riley wants us to “Vote yes on the Children Services Levy.” Hmm. Is there another way to take care of these children other than raising taxes? Take them out of pagan homes and let them be reared […]

Freedom! Charlie Craig and Dave Mullins can bake their own cake and have their own blasphemous (sodomitic) wedding? That, in itself, given our historic Christian jurisprudence, would be some wild liberty gone perverse in the Land of the Free! But that wasn’t even the issue. It was much worse. This was the legal issue: may […]

4 June, 2018 (. . . whatever the hell that means.) On the front page of my local paper (Wilmington News Journal, March, 15, 2018) is an article titled “Remembering the Victims” featuring local high school students with a sign marked, “WHS for Positivity.” So, as the popular expression goes, I would ask, “What does […]

27 March, 2018 Anno Domini You only live once (on this planet)! – as far as we know – so why not live the way you choose? Why deny someone his choice for opioids? Why campaign against this sacred right? Sounds stupid, but it is not irrational. I don’t understand how a secular society thinks […]

To the Wilmington News Journal Wilmington, Ohio Re: (1 April, 2017) 3 April, 2017 Haters and Losers I think it was the curious title which drew my attention to the editorial: “Anger and Cowardice Fester Hate” (Wilmington News Journal, 1 April, 2017). I am not sure of his meaning, but I infer from the rest […]

http://www.wnewsj.com/news/44224/celebrating-diversity-in-support-of-lgbt-community-in-clinton-county 12 June, 2017 Commentary Celebrate diversity! Yeah! Its great to be perverse! (I mean diverse. Yeah!) L-G-B-T-Q-B-M-O-U-S-E! . . . “Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse forever let us hold our banner high!” Get the beat there, you folks who watched that weekly show long ago. You gotta hold that second “B” for a few counts. […]

Posted on 31 March, 2017 (Amended on 30 May 2017) 4 March, 2011 Wrestling season comes to a close. My last high school wrestler has finished his course. Both my sons have gotten from the sport what I had hoped they would get. The sport is a wonderful means of character development. Mack Remington, writing […]

22 Feb., 2017 As reported by Neil Snarr in the Journal (21 Feb., 2017) there was in Wilmington an anti-slavery newspaper published from 1851-1855, The Herald of Freedom, edited one John W. Chaffin. I was delighted to read about it. To the glory of Biblical truths and justice and to the credit of these Christian […]

20 Jan., 2017 Gary Brock gave the nation a good exhortation regarding the Leftist’s anti-Trump divisive animus. He said, “I hope the level of unreasonable divisiveness and anger will end soon; for the sake of our country and our people” (WNJ, 20 Jan., 2017). In the same Journal issue the “Our View” editorial, “Trump: A […]

1 Nov., 2007 Wilmington News Journal 47 S. South St. Wilmington, OH 45177 Dear Editor, We were to be removed from our home yesterday, 30 days after the 1 October invasion by federal marshals. But on Monday, the Court allowed us to remain at least until our home is auctioned. On that first day of […]

29 November, 2005 I read your essay on stem cell research in the Wilmington Journal today. I was happy to see that your vote was consistent with the religious proposition that innocent human life is worthy of protection; I was sorry to read, however, that you would make your vote dependent upon the people’s will. […]

12 October 2006 Mr. Feldmeyer offered us counsel against the buffoonery of those in the persuasion of the naive “biblical literalist” (WNJ, 6 Oct., 2006). I was disappointed. But not surprised. Mr. Feldmeyer, the Pastor of Wilmington UMC, inveighed against a “biblical literalist” pastor in Watertown, New York who was attempting to apply the biblical […]

15 October, 2006 Dear Editor, Whom would Rev. Feldmeyer torture (Journal, 13 October, 2006)? Let us define what we mean by “torture.” Less amorphous is this definition of torture: “the ripping of appendages from a body, the slicing of a live un-anesthetized body into parts, and the crushing of the skull.” That simple definition describes, […]

4 January, 2013 Dear Editor, It is often difficult for people to see the folly of their own times. German philosophers speak of the Zeit Geist (the “time ghost” or “spirit of the time”) in which certain prejudices take root and fads prevail to the point of radically, even if temporarily, altering the mindset of […]

19 May, 2004 Dear Editor, I was grateful for the rebuke from Bob Robinson of “the Left” – he did not so name them- (see “Modern day My Lai a Hypocrisy,” WNJ, 19 May). There are those who hypocritically find atrocities in anything our soldiers did in Viet Nam while overlooking the super-holocaust deeds of […]

My local paper expresses the same intrigue that seems to possess the nation: Mass murders and apocalyptic Mayan speculations. Page 4 of the [Wilmington News] Journal on the eve of destruction (20 December) features an AP article, “Newtown demands we change,” which, as one might expect, calls for a crack-down on access to weapons. Another […]
