    The crying need for self-control

    We must strive to save the Hyde Amendment

    Amazingly, after decades of a barrage of propaganda in favor of abortion from Hollywood and the media and politicians, a large majority of Americans still want to see this bipartisan measure remain in force.

    Fatherlessness can be fatal

    There were more shootings in Chicago over the weekend. The irony is that all of these shootings, in which 52 were shot and 5 died, took place during Father’s Day weekend.

    One nation under Allah?

    The idea of “one nation under Allah” is a natural outgrowth of the idea of multi-culturalism but is inconsistent with our history.
