The Ron Miller Book Party For ‘Sellout’

by Smitty This is the first of several posts in support of Ron Miller’s book, Sellout. These are the prepared remarks, which reveal the kind of man you want for a neighbor: positive, patriotic, and Godly.

‘Happy Ramadan! Please Don’t Hijack Any Planes and Crash Them Into Buildings!’

OK, that wasn’t actually part of President Obama’s official White House message about the start of Ramadan. But he does say, “I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week.” Gee, it’s good to know that the president of the United States is not secretly a Muslim […]

Intellectuals: Smarter Than God?

Robert Knight takes a hard look at the elite punditocracy’s slow slide into moral relativism: On ABC’s This Week on May 30, [George] Will agreed with colleague Matthew Dowd that apart from a few glitches, homosexuality will soon be a non-issue in the military. . . .
