On November 26, 2012, I wrote a post titled Is It Time For Conservatives to Start Thinking Long Term? Support from my readers was less than I had hoped it would be. As part of that post, an article by Andrew Klavan was linked and I asked that readers review and share their opinions on Klavan’s long view plan for taking back America. Klavan addressed three areas of gradual attack: bringing balance back to news media, bringing balance back to the entertainment industry, and bringing our Judeo-Christian God back into our culture. All lofty goals to be sure. For my part, I wrote [...]

Is The American Culture Gone Forever?
For me to write about American culture, requires that I leave my comfort zone. The soft sciences were never my strong suit. Trying to define the American culture, in which most of us grew up, in a few words, is no easy task. To be honest, America has always been a patch quilt of many different cultures.

The New York Times reported: THIS spring I was on a panel at the Woodstock Writers Festival. An audience member asked a question: Why had the revolution dreamed up in the late 1960s mostly been won on the social and cultural fronts — women’s rights, gay [...]
Great Moments in Civil Discourse: Best not Believe in the Bible, Ya Hear?
Do you believe in the Bible? Do you think that it is the literal word of God? If so, you are likely a hateful monster that fervently desires the death of others. At least that’s what our leftist friends would tell us. After all, that’s what happened to Kirk Cameron, who was recently interviewed on CNN. Here is an excerpt. Needless to say, Cameron, in his calm discussion of sin, created a crapstorm of controversy and hate. Cameron’s calm answer explaining his view that marriage “was defined by God a long time ago … one man, one woman for life” has drawn a firestorm [...]
