Let the Banner Fly! Protecting the Free Speech Rights of Churches

The city’s banner regulations violated the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment

Written by Geoffrey Surtees, ACLJ | Thursday, August 21, 2014

The City Banner Regulations allow certain groups to display banners containing any viewpoint those groups wish to communicate, except for commercial, political, or religious “advertisements.”  Here, [the church] would like to do precisely what other local groups have done (like the Rotary Club and Jaycees), i.e., advertise for a local, community event that is open...

Genocide in Iraq

What we are now seeing in 2014 is an attempted genocide carried out by the group calling itself Islamic State, or ISIS

Written by Don Sweeting | Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Up till now, many in the West have been silent in the face of this evil. The Western media has been silent, not wanting to seem intolerant towards Islamic groups. They have not come to terms with the ideology of radical Islamic thought. Our government has done little until yesterday.  Many Western Christians have been... Continue Reading

Why Doesn’t The World Seem To Care When Christians Die?

Why is it that when Christians are persecuted, no one seems to care — not even other Christians?

Written by Rob Eshman | Tuesday, August 19, 2014

“It was only last week, when the torture and killing had reached such extreme levels that the world began to take notice, that President Barack Obama ordered United States humanitarian and military intervention to rescue some 40,000 members of the Yazidis, a non-Muslim minority cornered by radical Muslims on a mountain outside of Mosul.”  ...

Muhammed Is Britain’s Most Popular Boys Name

Muhammad is so popular as a name because the three million Muslims in Britain tend to like to name at least one of their sons after the prophet

Written by Andre Walker | Tuesday, August 19, 2014

“At the time, Mohammed was already the most popular boys name in London by some considerable margin. The scale of the result is likely to leave the public shocked, although much of the mainstream media  are expected to focus on the official ONS results. As a result, they will report that Mohammed only came in... Continue Reading

A Generation Of Pro-Choicers Wiped-Out By Abortion

The “Roe Effect” is the theory that Roe vs. Wade has resulted in fewer Democratic voters over the decades.

Written by Denny Burk | Sunday, August 17, 2014

Over the last 30 years people who support abortion rights tend to have less children and more abortions. Those who are pro-life tend to have more children and less abortions. The result: A greater number of young adults are pro-life in spite of liberalizing trends on other social issues (e.g., gay marriage). The bottom line:... Continue Reading

Old-Fashioned Jew Hatred Is Back

As the violence between Israel and Hamas escalates, anti-Semitism fills Internet boards and in some cases, it spills out on the streets

Written by Alex Van Ness | Sunday, August 17, 2014

It is one thing to support a State for the Palestinian people. It is another to use vitriolic hate speech to delegitimize Israel and the Jews who live there. This hatred is clearly not directed solely towards Israel, as the angry attacks are indiscriminately perpetrated against world Jewry. In the information age, anti-Semitism is able...

Social Security Crisis Closer Than You Think

The Social Security crisis that appears to be coming in 2033 is actually here now

Written by Jason J. Fichtner | Saturday, August 16, 2014

“The 2014 report projects depletion of the combined Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance trust funds in 2033. Social Security has no borrowing authority, and after the trust funds are exhausted there is only enough payroll tax revenue to cover a projected 77 percent of benefits; meaning future benefit payments must be reduced by about...

Think Things Are Getting Better For Girls In China? Not So

A girl in China is twice as likely as a boy to die in the first year of life; if she makes it past her first birthday, her chance of dying triples

Written by Elise Hilton | Friday, August 15, 2014

While “feminists” sites can blather on about deodorant and armpit hair, the rest of us might turn our eyes and hearts to the children of China, and find ways to pressure the government there to recognize the inherent value of all chidren: male, female, healthy, ill, or disabled.   While Jezebel tells women to get fighting...

How To Make A Just War Unjust In One Simple Step: ISIS Edition

If ever there was cause that meets the criteria of classical "Just War" theory, I believe this is it

Written by Brian Mattson | Thursday, August 14, 2014

We seem to be voluntarily entering a war with no intention of success. This will have the effect of emboldening these barbarians and causing more, not less, misery and destruction in the long term. The irony is unbearable: We have here an opportunity to get involved in a truly just and moral cause, but because of... Continue Reading

Is Hindu Nationalism Behind Crackdown on India’s Christians?

Christian minorities in central India face a new threat as Hindu extremists in more than a dozen village councils have passed restrictions on religions other than Hinduism

Written by Julia A. Seymour | Thursday, August 14, 2014

While India’s constitution declares the nation secular in the sense that all religions are supposed to be treated equally, persecution still exists and stems primarily from Hindutva, the ideology that to be Indian is to be Hindu and that other faiths are foreign. According to International Christian Concern, Hindu extremists have attacked Christians, discriminated against them, and... Continue Reading
