Will Religion Be Forced To Bow At Obama's Feet?

By Frederick Meekins | 11/04/09

The White House has announced plans to expand its Office of Faith-Based Initiatives.  In an address to the National Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama said the office would reach out to nonprofit organizations and "help them determine how to make a bigger impact...and learn their obligations under the law."  From a number of things said in the speech and that have transpired in relation to the economic bailout, those... read more »

The Moral Argument For God

By Frederick Meekins | 10/30/09

The early 21st century stands as a period of profound moral confusion.  On the one hand, mothers and doctors are permitted to crack open the skulls and suck out the brains of nearly-born babies with government sanction under the banner of partial birth abortion.  Should these very same people hike into the woods and crack open a bald eagle egg, they could face serious prison time. It would therefore seem that contemporary society is... read more »

Hispanosupremacists Rampage Over Illegal Alien Costume

By Frederick Meekins | 10/20/09

A number of Hispanosupremacists contend that a Halloween costume titled “Illegal Alien” consisting of an extraterrestrial mask, an orange jumpsuit, and a piece of cardboard labeled “green card” will hurt their friends that are illegals. Would they prefer the costume consist of a sombrero, a beer bottle, and a book of Foodstamps? Frankly, since illegals don't belong here, rather than worry how this costume hurts... read more »

Mohler Thinks He Knows What Your Career Should Be More Than You Do

By Frederick Meekins | 10/15/09

On his 10/8/09 broadcast, Albert Mohler was in a tizzy wondering why fewer young men are going into missions work than women.  Since we are going to turn this into yet another opportunity to bash men, a pastime increasingly popular in certain Evangelical circles, could it be that as the Bible seems to indicate men might be less prone to the kinds of emotional manipulation many missionaries utilize to whip people up into a frenzy. ... read more »

By Frederick Meekins | 10/12/09

Travelers often grumble about security measures at airports requiring them to remove belts and shoes as precautions to detect explosives.  Such inconveniences may seem like something from the quaint past in light of a new strategy developed by Al Qaeda.  An attack was carried out against the Saudi head of counterterrorism operations by concealing nearly a pound of explosives inside a bomber's rectum.  The device was detonated by... read more »

Pedaling Away Our Freedom

By Frederick Meekins | 10/06/09

To what extent does a school's authority extend beyond the school yard? A Saratoga Springs, NY seventh grader may help formalize these boundaries. According to TimesUnion.com, a state trooper interdicted the lad at Maple Avenue Middle school, informing that biking and even walking to school were against the rules.  A school might discourage biking to school by refusing to provide accommodations such as storage facilities and... read more »

Obamaphiles Plot Media Takeover

By Frederick Meekins | 10/01/09

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that, should government extend bailout funds to the nation's newspapers, the end result will be the state dictating media content. For did not Obama determine the minutest aspects of GM and bank operations when these institutions fell for government wiles such as where conferences would be held and what models of automobiles would continue to roll off the assembly line? This has to happen by... read more »

Obama Gluts On Ten Ounce Burger

By Frederick Meekins | 09/21/09

Those who have bent their knee in homage to our nation's magnanimous liege will no doubt one day denounce me in a People’s Court (not the TV show but rather a Soviet-style show trial) for daring to nitpick the Chosen One to this extent.  However, it is their beloved leader, ladies and gentleman, that insists that the COMMUNITY play a prominent role in your every life decision. In a campaign speech, Barack Obama lamented that,... read more »

Kooks Now Run The Asylum, Part 2

By Frederick Meekins | 09/19/09

With the Obama agenda, the New Age mindset shares the perspective that you are not so much a distinct individual worthy as such but rather a mere component emanating outward into larger and larger groups.  For example, at the lowest level you are part of the COMMUNITY.  Note that the family has been skipped over entirely as the prerogatives of the reactionary fecund union between a monogamous man and woman must be overridden by the... read more »

Do Viewers Know About "Knowing"?

By Frederick Meekins | 09/03/09

Viewers wanting to see "Knowing" staring Nicholas Cage might expect a film not all that different from his "National Treasure" series or even perhaps "The Da Vinci Code" as from advertisements the story appears to center around an aged parchment with a series of numbers scribbled across it that seemingly predicts a series of disasters.  However, by the film's conclusion, the apocalyptic symbolism alluded to is... read more »
