Well done Indiana

Last updated on: February 9, 2016 at 10:35 am By Dave Griffey

Indiana is quickly becoming a major focus in the war against traditional religious morality. As the Left makes it clear that there isn’t enough room in America for the two of us, there are some willing to fight back. And fight we must. The days of thinking we can somehow take all of the blasphemies, heresies, debaucheries, narcissism, hedonism, godlessness and tyranny that seem to define the Left, set them politely aside, and embrace the rest, have got to go. ...

Yep

Last updated on: February 9, 2016 at 7:55 am By Dave Griffey

Don’t let enemies of the Faith dictate the terms. We are to love our enemies, pray for our enemies, and forgive our enemies. But in doing so, at no point does that mean they will cease to be our enemies. They might eventually. But while they are enemies, don’t let them call the shots. Let us stand up and proclaim what we are and what we believe. Let us define our terms. And, quite frankly, let us be prepared to... Read more

NARAL Reminds me

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 12:25 pm By Dave Griffey

That liberalism isn’t just about thought control and brainwashing. It’s about doing those things in order to convince the most educated generation in history that squares are, in fact, round. So in keeping with the news that saying “Men can’t have babies” could be hurtful to Transgender people, NARAL is upset that the Doritos ad “Humanizes” the fetus. I just thought NARAL was upset that an ultrasound was shown with both parents and in a positive light. Censorship being a... Read more

Speaking of our post-Christian society

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 12:02 pm By Dave Griffey

Donald McClarey reminds us of how far America has come from our Christian roots. Note well, the proclamation was for our national sins. The old myth that it took the Baby Boomers to realize sex was fun, war was bad, and America wasn’t better than God is just that: a myth. In fact, I’m not sure if there are other countries with as much national self awareness that have produced so many willing to continually critique and criticize their nation the way... Read more

Remember when

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 11:43 am By Dave Griffey

Remember when it was those religious fundamentalists on the 700 Club or the Moral Majority who were the uptight busy-bodies, always protesting the latest movie, or song, or Coke commercial? Remember when liberals promised us a land of openness and tolerance and agreeing to disagree and respect for different opinions and beliefs? Remember when the only real bad guys were the ones who were offended and demanded expressions of art and literature conform to their moral absolutes? Yeah. So do... Read more

Super Bowl reunions

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 11:35 am By Dave Griffey

Of course there is much talk about the Super Bowl MVPs all coming together for Super Bowl 50. And there should be. It was quite stirring to see them all together, possibly for the last time. But there was another awesome reunion. Click here. Tommy Okon and Joe Green reunite. That’s the little boy with the bottle of Coke and “Mean” Joe Green in what is arguably one of the best commercials ever made. Brings back memories. Read more

As long as this continues to be true:

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 11:03 am By Dave Griffey

Bernie Sanders, or any radical revolutionary, will pick up steam. You don’t have to hate Capitalism or the Free Market to admit that those economic approaches in the hands of a godless, hedonistic and narcissistic society will end up no good. Of course, Democratic Socialism in the same godless, hedonistic and narcissistic society won’t work either. That’s the rub. Christians, including Catholics, have long lost our moxie when it comes to stating that we have the Truth, and the Truth alone... Read more

Because liberals never threaten that hell stuff

Last updated on: February 8, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

I’m sure Ms. Albright doesn’t mean it literally. It’s just a nice little splash of cold water in the face to those who justify warming up to liberalism with the notion that liberals are just more open, tolerant, and non-judgmental than those evil right wing types and all their hell and judgment rubbish.

Go Peyton!

Last updated on: February 7, 2016 at 5:22 pm By Dave Griffey

I don’t have a dog in this fight. The Evil Empire has been destroyed, at least for this season. I don’t have a bone to pick with the Panthers, though Cam Newton is a bit over the top for my liking. Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing Ted Ginn rack up some points and wow the football audience. But is there anyone who wouldn’t like to see nice guy Peyton Manning go out in a blaze of glory? And with...
