Hillary Nixon

Last updated on: April 18, 2015 at 10:02 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

More and more Americans are beginning to connect the dots and realize that the corruption and sleaze of the Clinton clan makes Richard Nixon look squeaky clean. The fact that the American press give Mrs Clinton a pass on her blatant obstruction of justice is amazing. Maybe its the Amish in me, but I have thought for some time that both Obama elections were rigged. His lack of passion and enthusiasm in campaigning in 2012 indicated to me that he... Read more

Anglicans Form Breakaway Church – So This is News?

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 3:35 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

The Daily Telegraph reports here about the new Anglican breakaway church. Developing out of a worldwide Evangelical Traditionalist movement called GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference) the new alliance brings together Evangelical Anglicans from America and Africa mostly–who are upset at the Anglican decision to ordain women bishops, espouse the gay agenda and allow their buildings to be used for Islamic prayer. The Anglican Church, like all Protestant churches, is no stranger to schism. Go here to read about the multiplicity of... Read more

The Underdog Myth that Hillary Has to Overcome

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 12:48 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

When I was living in England I remember how the English hated George Bush Jr. The mocked him for seeming like a small town hick. What they didn’t understand was that George Bush Jr’s move to Texas to live on a ranch and marry the town librarian was the smartest political move he could have made. Bush was from a top notch blue blood New England, Ivy League establishment family. But he knew that having a rich grand daddy and a well... Read more

Pope Francis and Persecution

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 10:45 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

My article at Aleteia this week focusses on Pope Francis’ increasing awareness of persecution against Christians worldwide. After speaking out about the Armenian genocide over the weekend Francis also used the opportunity to remember other historic anti-Christian onslaughts and to condemn the rising tide of persecution against Christians in the world today. “Concealing or denying evil” the pontiff said, “is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it!” He repeated his claim that we are engaged even now...

What I Learn From Hearing First Confessions

Last updated on: April 17, 2015 at 10:14 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

It is the time of year for First Holy Communion and therefore the time for me to hear the first confessions of children. It is therefore also the time for me to renew my own wonder and love of this simple and powerful sacrament. I sometimes hear people say, “Well, they’re only in second grade. What terrible mortal sins have they committed?” What I learn from the children is that they have a keen and alert awareness of sin. They... Read more

Standing on My Head in the Top 70

Standing on My Head is number 68 in the top 300 religion blogs! Go here Thanks to all my faithful readers. I’ll keep on blogging if you’ll keep on reading. I got started nine years ago simply because I wanted to publish stuff somewhere that would probably not get published anywhere else. Before long I discovered I had something called “readers”. That readership began to grow and as I jumped over to Patheos the new platform brought even more readers.... Read more

Hillary’s Truth Problem

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 2:39 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

What I find amazing is that Hillary Clinton is able to acknowledge openly that she has not only used her personal server for State Department business (thus circumventing all record keeping) but that in the face of requests for the emails necessary for Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi investigation she admits that she deleted them. Doesn’t anybody remember Richard Nixon? Doesn’t anybody remember tapes that were lost and sections of tapes that were deleted? The nation was in a proper uproar and... Read more

Of the Resurrection of the Body, Cannibals, Crocodiles and Corpses

Last updated on: April 16, 2015 at 8:52 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Every Sunday we say we believe in “the resurrection of the body” But what does that mean? Here’s an excerpt from my book The Quest for the Creed which ponders the question. Any school child that thinks about the resurrection of the body soon starts asking delightfully gruesome questions. After all, if they’ve ever seen a cat hit by a car, then been to a funeral and seen Uncle Mitch in the casket, and watched the coffin being lowered into the... Read more

English Papers Are Best for US Election News

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 6:46 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

The American papers are propaganda outlets. You won’t get hard hitting, investigative reporting from American news outlets. They’re all biased one way or the other, and not only biased, but terribly inaccurate and prejudiced in what they choose to report. Queen Hillary visiting Iowa to press the flesh? Turns out the “ordinary Americans” were Democratic party stooges. It was all stage managed, but it take the English Daily Mail to expose the fraud here. Read more

Queen Hillary’s Election Diary

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 3:40 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

As we begin our journey across America to listen to our people we thought it good to keep a journal of our pilgrimage. Courtiers have jokingly referred to this as my “journey journal”. What light hearted and witty jesters we have are fortunate to employ in the House of Clinton! We travel as ordinary Americans across this great realm in a vehicle they refer to as a “van”. This vehicle is a box shaped carriage which is spacious inside, and is fitted with... Read more
