Joe Biden is a hypocrite, he’s a Democrat and a nominal Catholic. The man touts his Catholic faith out of one side of his mouth. Out of the other side, he vows to crack down on nuns. The man can’t keep his story straight. But then again these days it probably isn’t his story anymore.

“People do not go to church just to feel good; they go in order to be good.”
Good quote on Government (specifically New Zealand but similar to NH and other States) not seeing the value of Worship and treating it like secular activities (emphasis mine):
Data Point – Democrat Prez Wannabees not Religious
Remember, this is the Party that booed the idea of God being in their Platform during their 2012 Convention. Given that our Founders leaned heavily on Judeo-Christian values as they created our country, that was quite problematic. And this ain’t helping things.
Blaine Amendments Are Going on Trial
The Blaine Amendments are going on trial. Get ready for one of the most important education-related Supreme Court cases in 50 years: Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue. The case is on the schedule for hearing by the nation’s highest court on January 22, 2020.
A New Skepticism Over The Theory of Evolution
It’s not exactly new. It is a math problem and a biology problem, a science problem, and a history problem. The records we have of life on earth aligned with what we’ve learned about DNA is making Darwin’s theory of Evolution the object of much scrutiny.
Blogline of the Day – The “friends you keep”
YOU CAN JUDGE A TV PROGRAM’S AUDIENCE BY ITS ADVERTISERS, so what does it tell us that the first ad I saw on the CNN Democratic presidential debates was “Ron Reagan, lifelong atheist,” on behalf of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
The Bible in public schools- What did the founding fathers say about it?
The battle of separation of church and state has been raging for decades. Lawyers today, struggle with the idea that students and especially teachers, can bring their Bibles into school. But today, students across America are bringing their Bibles to school.
DNC Resolution Champions Absence of Religion as a “Religion” – Guess What that Means?
Democrats at the DNC Summer Klan Bake approved a resolution in support of people who do not believe in religion as their religion. But if the absence of religion is a religion isn’t it unconstitutional for the Government to favor it above any other?
Consequences of Changing American Values
The preamble to our Constitution concludes with the words “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” This is the way the people who wrote our Constitution envision its purpose. A blessing is what is good in the eyes of God. It is a good whose possession properly belongs only to those who … Read more
The Religion of Government
Does it ever feel to you like everything not prohibited is required? The average American declares he is a free man, but is that declaration now more pretense than reality? Can we be free in a place where more and more is of, for and by the state? In a place where virtually nothing is outside … Read more
Are You A Conservative Liberal Too?
In the beginning… Once upon a time I considered myself to be “liberal.” I hung posters in the neighborhood for John Kennedy. But slowly, over time, a realization dawned on me. I was liberal because my political and moral philosophy was based on freedom, the rule of law, property rights, respect for life and equal … Read more
Sanctuary: Imposition of Religious Belief?
What is sanctuary? Sanctuary involves congregations declaring themselves official “sanctuaries”. That means they are committed to providing support to refugees. Various denominations participate. Movement members act in defiance of federal laws they oppose and they uphold laws they think their government violates. Where did sanctuary come from? The historical roots of the movement derive from … Read more
Blogline of the Day – Democrats, once again, are demonstrating their bigotry against People of Faith
“Democrats now freely display the sort of anti-Catholic bigotry that JFK was thought to have vanquished in the 1960 presidential campaign.” And why is it? Easy. ANYTHING that presents a challenge to the power or primacy of The State must be downrated, stigmatized, made to be of no account “in our modern society, and defeated. … Read more
Notable Quote – Richard Fernandez
The elite wanted a world without God and they got it. Andrew Sullivan argues that with the decline of traditional religions the godless world has embraced political cults. They are finding the resulting world an uncongenial place. Everyone has a religion. It is, in fact, impossible not to have a religion if you are a human being. … Read more
Princeton University Panel Discussion Describes Democrats While Talking About Communism
In a discussion on assessing 100 years of communism, Carlos Eire a Yale history and religious studies professor and an immigrant from communist Cuba said, “it is possible to speak of communism…as a religion” and one “governed by bad theology.” In the “unforgiving” communist religion, Eire posited, the “oligarchy becomes the priesthood,” and the government becomes … Read more
When Progressives Wax ‘Poetic’ About ‘Religious Bigotry’ …
The Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling continues to bear fruit. David French, writing at National Review Online, has provided several pieces that emphasize the upside of the decision, here, here, and here.
One important point that is a gift that should keep on giving is a quote from the Decision written by Justice Kennedy.
To describe a man’s faith as “one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use” is to disparage his religion in at least two distinct ways: by describing it as despicable, and also by characterizing it as merely rhetorical — something insubstantial and even insincere.
Notable Quote – Don Surber
Once again we see liberalism as a religion. The liberals’ high opinion of themselves is amusing. I forget who said it first, but when you lose a sense your other senses become more intense; thus when you lose your sense of humor, your sense of self-importance grows. –Don Surber Talking about a sense of humor … Read more
There is No Separation of Church And “State Refugee Resettlement Dollars”
If you are one of those “separation of church and state” folks or someone who takes issue with the Feds sending tax-dollars to religious organizations you’d best not also be out there crying compassion for the resettlement of refugees. Why? Because most of the billions spent to resettle refugees in the US every year goes to 11 contractors, 7 of whom are religious.
OK, so where DOES it state “Separation of Church & State” in the Constitution?
For many, the answer is “er, somewhere in there”. For others, it’s an inside joke (watch and find out). I agree with the Professor – what has come to pass was never written at all. This is splendid discussion of what I have posited in the past – that perhaps it is time to bring … Read more
Facebook Doodlings – in which I may have called out Lloyd over at TreeHugger
Well, I do go over to TH from time to time, and even leave comments. Well, there was a post by Lloyd (“90 by 50 plan could reduce New York City’s emissions by 90% by 2050“), someone that doesn’t always take kindly to Conservative or Libertarians assaulting what seems to be an Environmental Communitarian mantra. The Urban Green Council wants to make it mandatory that buildings meet their standard of reducing their carbon footprint by 90% by 2050. This will absolutely require massive expenditures by private owners – probably enough to bankrupt more than a small percentage. And knowing how this works, they will use Government to make it happen.
Private Property?
So, I could not help myself – I left a comment for the author, Lloyd:
” there is no need for floor-to-ceiling glass” – Ah yes, THE phrase that marks a Liberal. We so declare that in our eyes, you should not want to “need” it, so we’ll pull a Bloomberg and just regulate it out of existence.
If you are looking for a firm foundation, when you see such a phrase, ask yourself: Since when did someone’s Freedom become limited by someone else’s selfish sense of “it has to be needed first”?
Freedom should always. just. be. “Need” need not apply when talking about Freedom. Thus, I was surprised, he actually responded – but the nuance did not surprise:
