Is Lakin’s court-martial an American ‘Dreyfus affair’?

I doubt that most people would be shocked to learn that sometimes the influence of power can interfere with and even derail the course of justice in our legal system.  Behind the scenes, a phone call from a powerful politician, or a corporate mogul often affects the actions or judgments of people whose personal ambitions they are in a position to help or hinder.  Usually though, people giving heed to such considerations have enough sense to cloak what they do with words or actions that give their corruption at least the appearance of probity.  Maybe its the tribute that vice renders to virtue.  Maybe its nothing more than self-serving prudence (the mask of honesty that facilitates corruption.) However, when court officers conclude that such hypocrisy is no longer worth the effort, things are pretty far gone.  The video featured with this post  focuses on the recent decision by Col. Denise R. ...

Planned Parenthood’s moral insanity

Daily Brief #13 The video featured on this page is a news report out of Texas about a pro-life billboard campaign just launched there by the Radiance Foundation and the Life Education Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N.).  It’s an effort to focus attention on the disproportionate number of nascent blacks being murdered in Texas under the rubric of abortion rights. What especially provoked my interest was criticism of the project from a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman quoted in the report.  “This is about trying to interfere with women making private personal decisions and unfortunately and really shockingly, this group has decided to use racism as a wedge issue,” Rochelle Tafolla said. “We think that  is just reprehensible…” So its reprehensible to focus an individual’s attention on the impact her individual action has on her community.  Could there be a more perfect illustration of Planned Parenthood’s moral insanity? In many U.S. communities today local laws encourage or even ...

Was Jesus a leader?

Daily Brief #12 “Asked who would be considered conservative Christian leaders today- with Graham in his 90s and the recent death of Jerry Falwell – Land said that “leaders are leaders because people follow them.”  So says Richard Land. Every year as we approach the commemoration of Christ’s passion, crucifixion and resurrection the people Jesus has saved recall his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.  And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Judging by the multitudes that followed him, and the words of Richard Land, in this grand triumphal entry, Jesus was a leader. But after he drove the money lenders from the Temple, confounded the ...

A Meditation on Glenn Beck’s Divine Mission

[I have been in prayerful thought about the events taking place this weekend under Glenn Beck’s auspices.  He portrays them as the beginning of a Great Revival of faith in America.  People I know and think well of are involved.  Yet I find I cannot ignore the check in my spirit that prevents me from accepting that the events or their sponsor are what he professes them to be.  This posting is an effort to lay out the elements that contribute to my misgivings, insofar as they are susceptible to articulation.  Herein I attempt to share a train of thought and the destination toward which  it points.   Is it the right one? With God’s help, time may tell.] Glenn Beck: “I mean, the one part of culture that I am doing a lot of is faith.  But general faith.  We have got to get back to our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, ...

Glenn Beck's hollow piety

As I expected, my  WND article this week has generated a remarkable reaction from readers, including a number of folks who express dismay at the fact that I (like Joseph Farah) would dare to question the sincerity of Glenn Beck's professions of respect for God just because he belittles the importance of the 'gay marriage' issue. . In answer to one such 'shame on you' email I sent the following response, which I think worth sharing here: Before wishing shame on me, it would repay your time to read what I have written on what the "gay marriage" issue involves.  If after doing so you can still accept Beck's careless disregard for God's priorities, I will still pray that God may open your eyes (as I pray for Glenn Beck). We can't defeat the so-called progressives by accepting their standards and priorities. I made no charges against Beck, as you ...

Mehlman’s gay revelation outs GOP elite's charade

Reflecting on Ken Mehlman’s revelation that he has been and is a practicing homosexual, I found myself thinking of Penelope, the wife of Homer’s Ulysses.  After the Greek victory over the Trojans, he took the long way home, so long in fact that his family pretty much gave him up for dead.  Penelope found herself besieged by suitors eager to try their hands at usurping Ulysses domain while before his son came of age to challenge them. Still loyal in hope and affection to her husband, Penelope devised the famous strategy by which she put off the day when she would be force to choose among the importunate parasites who had taken up residence in the royal compound.   She undertook to weave a shroud for the funeral of her aged father-in-law Laertes,  vowing to make her decision only after it was completed. Work on the shroud gave her the excuse to hold ...

Is ‘ruling class’ right for America?

Daily Brief #11 Having sapped the foundations of liberty for several decades, key elitist forces  are completing the emplacement of the economic and political WMD’s with which to overturn government of, by and for the people.  But thanks to the arrogance of the Obama faction, many Americans have awakened to the fact that we are in the midst of an assault against the sovereignty of the people. These Americans are praying, writing, gathering, speaking and organizing to produce what could be one of the most spectacular tidal waves of democratic revulsion this country has ever seen.  This is cause for hope and satisfaction.  But in political battle there are times when a change in language cedes victory to the enemy just as the contest reaches its tipping point. In this respect I’ve noticed that some people who seem sincerely committed to encouraging the rejection of totalitarian elitism are adopting a paradigm that ...

Obama faction arrogance no surprise

This entry is part 10 of 13 in the series Daily Briefs

Daily Brief #10
As I prepare new posts for this blog I often find myself re-visiting previous posts to refresh my memory of the subjects I’ve dealt with, and for inclusion as references in the new material.  Often as I do so I find myself thinking that a past post has fresh relevance to things taking [...]

Pelosi shows no true American heart

Marie Antoinette had nothing on Nancy Pelosi. Listen to the Democrat’s response to a question about the ground zero mosque, featured to  the right.
I think Nancy Pelosi was alive at the time of the 9-11 attacks, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to these comments. For most Americans, everything associated with the [...]

What view suppressed reveals false conservatism?

Daily Brief #9
[Thanks to this blog, and my participation in Facebook and Twitter, I frequently get communications from people wondering why I have disappeared from what they refer to as the "conservative media", or about what I may or may not do in the way of future involvement in electoral politics. Yesterday one of my [...]

The right test for fiscal conservatism

This entry is part 8 of 13 in the series Daily Briefs

Daily Brief #8
This morning I noticed a link to a posting from the FreedomWorks website in which Freedomworks Chair Dick Armey presents their endorsement of David Malpass in the GOP primary for the special U.S. Senate election in New York. I then paid a visit to the candidate’s website, which headlined a recent endorsement [...]

Obama’s ground zero mosque targets U.S. morale

I always find it repugnant when Barack Obama pretends to articulate and apply America’s moral values. As products of Saul Alinsky’s finishing school for Marxist protégés, Obama and his crew have no respect for the self-evident truths in which those values originate. It’s not that they have no use for them. On [...]

Judge Walker vs. the sovereignty of the people

This entry is part 10 of 10 in the series Free to be Slaves

WND.com has published my latest column entitled  The mad logic of national secularism.   In it I do my best to boil down the reasoning which shows that U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker’s assault on the sovereignty of the people of California results from the false jurisprudence whereby the U.S. Judiciary claims to enforce the [...]

Natural born citizenship helps preserve the people’s sovereignty

A couple of days ago I read a story reporting Brian Bilbray’s remarks about the issue of Obama’s constitutional eligibility to be President. Bilbray denied that the phrase ‘natural born citizen’ has anything to do with birthplace. He asserted that “a natural born citizen is someone who is born in the U.S. or overseas if [...]

Citizenship, sovereignty and the assault on America’s constitutional republic

This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series The Statecraft of the Constitution

Almost all conservatives profess greatly to admire America’s founders. They also declare their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. Yet some are also vocal in their condemnation of “democracy”, and their conviction that the United States is not a democracy but a republic.
When stated with proper precision, I understand and agree [...]

When did Baby Jesus get the right to life?

Georgia Senator Isakson professes to believe that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior. Yet like Nancy Pelosi, who purports to be a Roman Catholic, he refuses to answer the question “When did Jesus Christ get the right to life.”
Isakson is a so-called “pro-choice Republican” who began his career in the U.S. Congress as [...]

Lindsey Graham’s conscienceless covenant of power

This entry is part 7 of 13 in the series Daily Briefs

Daily Brief #7
In his vote favoring the confirmation of Elena Kagan, and the statement he made to justify it, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham again marks himself as the kind of politico people must drive from office if they mean to restore and preserve republican, constitutional self-government in the United States. While pretending that [...]
