In case anyone actually believed that the Palestinians were interested in peace, here’s the story right from the horse’s mouth:
Hamas is ready to accept a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders but “it will not recognise Israel,” the Islamist movement’s exiled chief Khaled Meshaal told a news conference Monday.
“We accept a Palestinian state within the [...]

The recent ruling in California has gotten people talking about homeschooling. I have nothing but respect for parents that homeschool. I will definitely consider it as an option for my own children someday. Some of the stuff coming from the mouths of liberal elitists in the educational establishment is disgusting, particularly a recent editorial in [...]
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was supposedly established “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike,” but under the leadership of Abraham Foxman, they have become a group of irrelevant political hacks. They attack Christians, America’s Christian heritage, and anyone or anything else that is not [...]
How many times have you heard that monotheism is the source of the world’s problems? Monotheists like Christians, Jews and Muslims are supposedly the root of all evil.

Prolifers have been arguing for years that research on embryonic stem cells is both immoral and unnecessary (See my essay on the topic written in May 2002). Of course, advocates of embryonic stem cell research remain unconvinced. As I stated in [...]
Micah Tillman has an interesting discussion going on over at his blog. He notes that pacifism taken to its logical end must result in anarchism. Personally, I prefer black and white. If pacifism could stand up to scrutiny, I’d be all for it. I don’t like having to wade through shades of gray. Unfortunately, life [...]
Considering the lengths to which prosperity teachers go to twist the words of the Bible, it would not surprise me one bit if they were improperly reporting income. How long before these people’s followers realize that they are being had?
Acting on tips about preachers who ride in Rolls Royces and have purportedly paid $30,000 for [...]
Sean Penn, loving husband and committed pacifist, wants the United States to embrace the principles of pacifism he personally holds so dear, engaging in friendly talks with totalitarian leaders like Hugo Chavez and ignoring when other dictators such as Saddam Hussein violate terms of surrender. I suppose the exercise of force should only be put [...]
