Terence J. Hughes Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences and Climate Change University of Maine August 2013 Religion in America has two streams, originally far apart but now converging. The oldest stream originated in Latin America and watered the American Southwest from Texas to California in the 16th century, with outliers in Florida and Louisiana. It’s […]

http://www.kansascity.com/2013/08/15/v-print/4413107/judge-sides-with-abortion-opponent.html We reported briefly on the vindication of Angel Dillard as follows by email on 16 August, 2013: The Obamanation suffered a well-earned smack in the chops by U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten. Angel Dillard had been charged with various threats for simply warning would-be Tiller replacement Mila Means that her chosen profession was […]

Michael Bray, 16 July, 2013 That prophet wept over the nation as it rejected his message. He pressed on right through the judgment that he knew was coming. He lived through it and gave us Lamentations. He wept for the nation’s idolatry and for the misery that they would suffer because of their sin. However, […]

Michael Bray 3 July, 2013 Ben Curell took an ax and gave a Bloomington, Indiana abortuary 40 whacks – or so – on 11 April, 2013. Six days prior, R.C. Sproul and Doug Wilson delivered lectures sponsored by Clearnote Campus Fellowship, a student outreach arm of Clearnote Church, Indianapolis, of which Ben Curell is a […]

(Editorial foreword: A little early in the century to make the call: “Barack Obama is the Antichrist of the 21st Century” inheriting the singular ignominy of Hitler as the 20th century arch-villain. Could be that we shall yet see a worse scoundrel! Still have nine decades to go. Confessedly, however, it is hard to imagine a greater advocate […]

John Burt died in jail at age 76 on 19 April, 2013. The anti-abortion activist was in jail on very doubtful charges of sexual misconduct. He and his wife, Linda, had provided shelter for many years for pregnant women in need of housing. But the Burts were loved by few and despised by many for […]

Terence J. Hughes Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences and Climate Change School of Earth and Climate Sciences and Climate Change Institute University of Maine 28 April, 2013 The President of the United States has admitted he is aware of Kermit Gosnell, a late-term abortionist in Philadelphia who routinely delivers babies alive so he can murder […]

March, 2013 Catherine Ramey, M. Div. In the 1960s and 70s Americans worshipped at the altar of “Free Speech,” no matter how abominable. They praised high court decisions allowing anti-Semites and anti-Blacks to spew hatred in public and applauded large public marches with anonymous men garbed in long white robes and coned hoods with cloth […]

Jayne Bray 26 January, 2013 In 1994 a band of abortionists and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the American Coalition of Life Activists [ACLA] and 14 individual anti-abortion activists. The ACLA was formed as a coalition of pro-life activists across the U.S. for the purpose of opposing abortion by LAWFUL means while refusing, as […]

April, 2008 Before discussing very briefly a thought about the Day of Silence, it seems good to clarify appropriate terminology for discussing the topic of homosexuals and the proper way to treat them in the public school: whether with disdain and aloofness on the one hand or indifference and toleration on the other. Let us […]

3 May, 2010 College mission statements, like ancient laws, national codes and constitutions, sometimes fall into desuetude – out of fashion, out of favor, ignored. If such statements or decrees are alleged to reflect Divine law, then the people – now indifferent – have gone astray. If there is no Law (as Modernists would have […]

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 March, 1996 Dear Op-Ed editor: A short piece on the ongoing mischief of Reno’s VAAPCON in Norfolk. $5 Million for $5 Hundred? The feds, having plundered the lives of decent citizens for 14 months (including the 2-month jailing of Cheryl Richardson), have moved on to Norfolk. The conclusion of that abuse of power in […]

25 May, 2011 What was the matter with Joplin? Why all the nasty wind? Of course, we who are not speaking as prophets of God can only speculate about the occasion for disasters. When are such devastating weather-related events “natural disasters”? And when ̶ judgments? Let us propose that there are no “natural disasters” since […]

CACN, Spring, 1997 In concert with one of the fundamental laws of theological liberalism, the pope is fighting the death penalty. He opposes capital punishment for people who commit capital crimes. Three times in 1996, the pope sought to intercede in U.S. executions. The latest beneficiary, Joseph O’Dell, was convicted of raping, sodomizing, and strangling […]
