a Christian approach to the election

As I mentioned below, Adrian Warnock linked to a blog post by Justin Taylor on a Christian approach to this election. Justin’s post is just outstanding. Go read the whole thing. His post is mainly a response to this John Piper video on the election so watch it first then go read Justin’s whole post. [...]

outsider’s view of american politics

Here is Adrian Warnock’s point of view of American politics from over in Great Britain. He has some helpful links including one from Justin Taylor that I will look at more carefully in a minute. First two quotes from Adrian that get right to the heart of the matter: Basically, we could say, “It’s about [...]

while we are on the topic

while we are on the topic of the babies, here is Randy Alcorn’s recent post about why is voting for 98% pro life McCain rather than 100% pro-abortion Obama. I’ve also been angrily challenged as to why I don’t care about other needy and dying children, only the unborn. Actually, all the royalties from all [...]

Just Look

after all the talking gets talked and running gets ran, this is what I think this election is about. (like I said before). Just Look The picture on this page is an untouched photograph of a being that has been within its mother for 20 weeks. Please do me the favor of looking at it [...]

another one

yet another shining entry into the increasingly crowded “you don’t replace something with nothing files.” Just wow. I don’t know how it is possible to even parody something so incredibly extreme and foolish. Hat tip to Jonah Goldberg. As he says, there is “nothing remotely creepy” about this, nothing at all. UPDATE: the reformed chicks [...]

you don’t replace something with nothing

As I have said before several times and as I will keep saying as long as I am allowed, you don’t replace something with nothing. A post-christian, post-modern culture is not one of rational empirical scientific harmony. It is one of superstition, paranoia and worship of men. present case in point Maggie Mertens of Smith [...]

we did WHAT to Hezbollah?

ok, this strikes me as the most inexcusably foolish thing to come out of Joe Biden’s mouth last night: BIDEN: Gwen, no one in the United States Senate has been a better friend to Israel than Joe Biden. I would have never, ever joined this ticket were I not absolutely sure Barack Obama shared my [...]

creepy or great?

Jonah G. wants to know if you find this creepy or not? my vote is creepy. what do you think? UPDATE: you will never guess who is behind this video. ok, maybe you will, but I doubt it. Check it out, Ed Morissey has the details.

Mark Steyn on the thuggery

Here is Mark Steyn on the bout of thuggery and intimidation from the Barack Obama campaign. As Stanley Kurtz, Milt Rosenberg and David Freddoso can tell you, this pattern is well established: The Obama campaign’s response to uncongenial allegations is not to rebut them but to use its muscle to squash the authors. This is [...]

the defense plan from Mr. Obama

here is Barack Obama’s defense plan for the U.S. background on why I am posting this video here. and more stuff here. Oh and here is another bit here. and just in case you can’t see the pattern yet, here is some more. “shut up” he argued. well, that isn’t a very convincing argument.

A polemicist at the top of her game

this is a fine example of the combination of passion and prose that is a masterful polemicist in action. Caroline Glick of Israel is first rate. here is an excerpt, but you have to go read the whole thing in all of its righteously indignant glory to get the measure of the pacing that led [...]

new website

Senator John Cornyn is launching a new website tomorrow. I have received a sneak peek screenshot and it looks pretty good.

Jesus and politics

here is a helpful reminder from Timmy Brister: Those of us who profess allegiance to Jesus Christ cannot allow Him to be painted in colors of blue or red. Furthermore, we cannot allow ourselves to be identified with a political party or set our hopes on anyone who would sit in the Oval Office. Jesus [...]

two stories

Two stories from the campaign trail. One of them involves Baby A and the other involves Chloe. Chloe’s dad Kurt called in to the Rush Limbaugh show and told Rush the story. He then sent Rush pictures. The whole thing is moving and the pictures are awesome. Here is a bit of it, but go [...]

of Palin and Pipelines

The editors of the Washington Post have noticed that Sarah Palin proved palpable political prowess with her work on the natural gas pipeline project. (the Wall Street Journal had already noticed this project.) their conclusion: But it is also a sign that Ms. Palin’s outflanking of the oil companies injected some competition and urgency into [...]

speaking of Sarah Palin

here is an article from the Wall Street Journal about what she did in Alaska. first, the general problem to be addressed. Alaska’s politicians—in particular ruling Republicans—roll in oil campaign money, lavish oil revenue on pet projects, then retire to lucrative oil jobs where they lobby for sweetheart oil deals. You can love the free [...]

Sarah Palin

Tim Challies has a political post up. He is right that this has been the most entertaining political campaign ever. The primaries were awesome and the general election is positioned at this point to go to the wire. Challies focus is on the phenomenon that is Sarah Palin. This sentence crystallizes what we have been [...]
