    The right to life amid a culture of death

    I am often asked why I speak out on the abortion issue as frequently as I do. To me, that question would be analogous to asking Martin Luther King, Jr. why he focused so much of his life and ministry on fighting for equality under the law and in society for all Americans.

    President George Bush’s 9/11 speech: A model of presidential leadership

    One speech did, however, arrest my attention, lift my spirits, and provide much-needed perspective on that horrible day and our current national crisis of identity.

    AFGHANISTAN: A name that will live in infamy

    The great American “bugout” from Afghanistan — a betrayal revealing a level of incompetence from our American military, security and political establishment is both breathtaking and incomprehensible. They have just presided over a national humiliation that will reverberate around the globe with truly legally dangerous consequences extending for the entire life span of virtually all living Americans.

    How should Christians respond to America’s identity crisis? (pt 1)

    It should be clear to all those not too blind to see or too deaf to hear that America is facing a profound identity crisis in terms of who we are and what it is we stand for as a people and as a nation. In significant ways, this “culture war” can be boiled down to two large groups of Americans, each deeply committed to their cause.

  • 'Unmasking’ critical race theory

    'Unmasking’ critical race theory

    After this week's column it would be wise for Bill to employ a food taster at Capitol Hill receptions and D.C. dinner parties. Why? It is quite simple – he has told the truth to the progressive elites, and they often react viscerally and violently to such effrontery.

  • Proud to be American? Why grateful is a better word

    Proud to be American? Why grateful is a better word

    For me, and for millions of Christians, being an American is a divinely bestowed blessing. Being born an American is like being born on third base in the great scheme of things and being proud of it is like being born on third base and thinking you hit a triple. No, we among all humanity, are the most fortunate of people, to have been, in the providence of God, born “American.”

  • A true culture war commences: Who runs the public’s schools?

    A true culture war commences: Who runs the public’s schools?

    Will it be the parents, and their elected representatives, or will it be national teachers unions and their minions in the educational bureaucracy that former Secretary of Education William Bennett called, “the blob.”

  • Will 'in-country' migration turn Texas blue?

    Will 'in-country' migration turn Texas blue?

    Many political prognosticators have been predicting (or is it hoping?) that these population shifts will turn Texas, and Florida, purple, then full-blown blue, greatly enhancing Democratic political fortunes nationwide.

    Critical race theory: Kryptonite to foil Dr. King’s dream? (pt 2)

    I fear that some Americans have so marinated themselves in a world defined by the falsehoods of CRT that they developed a perverse set of priorities.

    June 17th – Victory for religious freedom at the Supreme Court

    Yesterday, June 17, 2021, is a day that should be celebrated and cherished by lovers of religious freedom and defenders of traditional religious values across this nation and beyond.
