You thought your “conservative” pastor was immune to social justice jargon? Better check. Better check very carefully. My own brush with an Orwellian thought crime patrol, (background here) taught me a few frightening things about our present political reality. Upon learning that I dared to scold Louis Farrakhan for being a racist, one school district..

And how much is it going to cost me? So I’m getting around to watching some of what was preached at #MLK50Conference, in April of 2018. (Hey, I don’t do this for a living.) Charlie Dates appears to sum up the spirit of the thing: we have a long way to go; we’re not sure..
Please, James White, in trying to sympathize with Al Mohler’s constituency problems (video link, apx: 33:00) it doesn’t do any good to lament his problems with “buildings named after slaveholders.” George Washington was a slaveholder.

The Government Will Buy Your Chalkboard.. ..As Long As You Forfeit The Bill of Rights Wrong.

The Director of MOO (Ministry of Outcomes) Congressional Testimony Opening Statement (Sometime in the not too distant future) Members of Congress thank you for allowing me this time to address what has become an embarrassing reality for the 15,000 federal employees who have given their lives to MOO. As you know, Congress established MOO, the..
“It’s not the same when we do it” On modern American race relations, I have come to realize I have been too innocent, linear and naïve. I always thought it was a straightforward reality: never judge an individual and certainly never discriminate against an individual based on their broader associations – race, religion, ethnic group,..
