    An important church and state battle in Seattle

    We have all seen the horrible violence in Seattle in the last year or so. But now there’s a new battle, virtually under the radar.

    The Constitution under fire

    I agree with William Gladstone, the distinguished 19th century Prime Minister of England, who declared, "The American Constitution is, so far as I can see, the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man."

  • The crying need for self-control

    The crying need for self-control

  • We must strive to save the Hyde Amendment

    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. Even if they are “pro-choice,” most Americans favor saving the Hyde Amendment. I do too, and I can think of 2.4 million reasons why.

    Communist Cuba and its American apologists
