  • When Elections Are Not Elections0

    • January 4, 2000

    Teen smoking at record levels said a recent Denver Post headline, lack of tobacco education blamed. After almost a decade of the most concentrated attack on smoking in the last fifty years, the Post treats us to a news article consisting mainly of quotes from a spokesman for the American Heart Association with the nerve

  • The Drug War Kills Innocent People0

    • December 30, 1999

    It seems the ends justifies any means in the ‘war on drugs’ these days, even if that means civil rights are trampled and innocent people killed.

    The mental gyrations law officials and politicians engage in to support their draconian drug policies are crazy.

Advocates of “social justice” have historically ended up pimping for the most bloodthirsty, lawless, and tyrannical regimes the world has ever known.

  • Good Reason to Celebrate Christmas0

    • December 14, 1999

    In a world sorely in need of it, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the religion he founded, have been singularly important forces for good. With “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another even I have loved you” (John 13:35), Jesus single-handedly created a new moral ethic. No longer was a persons worth dependent on his “social, biological, psychological, physiological, intellectual, or educational differences and levels.”[1] Because each individual was created in the image of God, each individual had value, regardless of his circumstances.
