One more reason to like Jeremy Irons

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 1:14 pm By Dave Griffey

If his unfortunate stint in the suffering movie Dungeons and Dragons can be ignored, Jeremy Irons is typically an actor who can do no wrong. Even in movies of less quality, he shines. Add this to the reasons why liking him is so easy, beyond merely his talents as an actor. Turns out he’s no fan of abortion. And he says so. As an actor. Naturally tolerant and diversity loving abortion activists swoop in with vulgarities and petty insults. But... Read more

When Working Whites are Angry Whites

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 10:32 am By Dave Griffey

Why is it when white people flock to someone like Bernie Sanders, or are jockeyed for by Hillary Clinton, it’s the White Working Class? When white people flock to Trump or just about anyone in the GOP field, it’s Angry White Voters (usually men)? Ever notice the difference? I’m sure I know the reason why. But it’s always fun to see the obvious played out in front of us. Read more

Why smart people distrust liberalism

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 9:50 am By Dave Griffey

Is seen in the linked story. The golden boy of socialist liberalism in the West, Canada’s new, vibrant Prime Minister, has blocked a measure to continue funding Canada’s Office of Religious Freedom. This shouldn’t be surprising. The only thing that hates Christianity more than radical Islam is the secular Left. I know. I’m sure there could be some lame explanation as to why this means nothing and it’s really nothing and all will be fine. But since Canada is one... Read more

God Bless Father Thomas Uzhunnalil

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 9:19 am By Dave Griffey

Again, if you get your news from the Television “All Trump, All the Time” media, you might have missed this gut-wrenching story. In another freakish exception to the rule, Fr. Uzhunnalil was kidnapped by ISIS after they murdered four nuns at a seniors facility, was tortured, and then was crucified on Good Friday. This is the first I’ve heard of it, and I follow print media as well. It might be that this is now just being confirmed. The story... Read more

Believing the Resurrection

Last updated on: March 30, 2016 at 8:52 am By Dave Griffey

The linchpin of the Christian Faith. As the Apostle Paul says, if there is no Resurrection then we are a pitiable brood to be sure. Not that believing in the Resurrection is easy. In our modern, secular world of electricity and smartphone apps, it is even more difficult. After all, sometimes belief is a factor of meditation and reflection, and in our modern, breakneck pace, people seem to have little time for either. That very lack of contemplation is seized...

America then and now

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 8:40 am By Dave Griffey

America that The Ten Commandments was made for For Liberals, America is great despite its past. For Conservatives, America is great because of its past. Those two approaches mark a fundamental distinction in how we approach the problems of our nation and the world. That’s not to say Liberals think all is wonderful today, though they tend to dismiss problems as the result of hangover from America’s darker past. Likewise, Conservatives realize not all was wonderful in the past, but... Read more

The Religion of Peace

Last updated on: March 29, 2016 at 7:48 am By Dave Griffey

Monument to the Religion of Peace For American liberals, European liberals, and the leftist propaganda organs, the verdict is clear: Islam is a beautiful religion of beautiful people who have always just wanted to do beautiful things. Occasionally, through some Himalayan sized number of freakish exceptions to the rule, some who incidentally happen to be Muslim do terrible things, but most often because of factors imposed upon them by the wicked Capitalist West and its bastard child America. On the... Read more

The Ten Commandments still popular

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 9:47 pm By Dave Griffey

I wish we could have seen it on the big screen! Good to see. All hope isn’t lost. I already wrote about how much I enjoy and appreciate the film. Last night, when we watched it on Easter on Blueray (quite a jolt of cinematic awesomeness let me tell you), we noticed just how many subtle nods to a Scriptural vocabulary are sprinkled through the movie. We focus on the fictional love story and sexed-up elements meant to drag people away... Read more

Nathan Deal cowers before the American Duma

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 5:01 pm By Dave Griffey

The Leftist juggernaut, which is all about ending liberty and freedom in return for a brief dip in the sex and drugs laced bowl of proverbial stew, has scored another victory. With the help of America’s industries of Mammon and Moloch, once again liberalism wins one for the gulag by promoting tolerance at the end of a whip. I don’t fault Governor Deal. It was tough to stand up for Communism in America in the 1950s. But far more difficult... Read more

Pray for the Lahore Martyrs

Last updated on: March 28, 2016 at 11:21 am By Dave Griffey

If you follow the television news, you might have missed that over 70 were killed by Islamic terrorists on Easter Sunday in Pakistan. That’s because it wasn’t somewhere in Western Europe. Unlike Brussels, which saw the media shift even from their dogged devotion to Donald Trump in order to give near round the clock coverage for almost a week, this has already been relegated to second or third tier story rotation. Again, it is a dangerous thing to base our... Read more
