  The imperial judiciary, 1962-2022: Rest in peace

  Starting with the Earl Warren Supreme Court in the 1950s, the nation’s highest court began gathering greater and greater power unto itself as Congress and the Executive Branch acquiesced and surrendered more and more authority to the Supreme Court. That dangerous imbalance allowed the progressives to win most of the victories they have won over the last half-century by judicial fiat and edict, not by the people’s elected representatives (the Congress and the President).

  Pro-abortion violence and officials noncompliance: A dagger aimed at the heart of the rule of law

  I cannot think, however, of a greater threat to our nation’s rule of law, the bedrock of our entire legal system, than having public officials exercise a self-proclaimed “right” to disobey and ignore laws with which they are in disagreement — laws which they have taken an oath to enforce.

  Cultural ‘awareness’ but not woke warrior

  Once that fully soaked into my consciousness, and after I shared that new comprehension with my wife, we both agreed that it had to be removed. The treasured memories it held for us were dwarfed by the monstrous and dehumanizing system and culture it symbolized.

  District Attorney Boudin: The chickens do come home to roost!

  Mr. Boudin is a high-profile advocate of a social theory known as “decriminalization,” which is a belief that too many ethnic minority youths end up in prison.

Mr. Boudin’s solution is to leave many more accused criminals to roam the streets victimizing many more citizens.

  General Douglas MacArthur: ‘Duty, Honor, Country!'

  If ever there was a melding together of the man and the message, this was it. Perhaps the greatest general in American history, standing before a significant portion of the future officer corps for the U.S. Army in the coming generation, delivered a message none of them would ever forget.

  Southern Baptists: Where do we go from here?

  Yes, I have read the Sexual Abuse Task Force Report (SATF).  I read all 285 pages last Sunday night. It made me physically nauseous, in spite of the fact that I have been accused of having a “cast iron” stomach.

  What’s the best way to be pro-life?: A Southern Baptist debate

  Would the abolitionists really argue that the government should tell him he could not make the decision to save his wife’s life? I fear they might, and they would be wrong.

  The abortion issue in the post-Roe era: Let the debates begin

  The abortion issue quickly boils down to a debate between the “sanctity of life” ethic vs. the “quality of life” ethic. Is human life sacred? When does human life begin? Does human life deserve protection even when it is mentally and physically challenged or is in perilous sentient decline due to age or serious injury? Does radical individual autonomy trump a baby’s right to life?

  Roe v. Wade on the ‘ash heap’ of history?
