It’s Time to Hate Mass Murder and the “Liberal” and “Conservative” Idiots Who Help It Happen

The horrible violence in a small school against OUR six-year-olds perfectly reflects the nature of our violent retributive society. Mass killing is the new American “normal.” In fact it’s our idea of patriotism. I spent the last two days in tears “seeing” the faces of my beloved four grandchildren and three children in the faces [...]

Frank Schaeffer, You Ignorant Slut! (“Put a bullet in his head while he sleeps…”)

The Greg Rubottom guest column on abortion I posted here generated heated  responses. Here are two unedited as they were posted online originally. One is reasonable and instructive. The other includes this line – “I’ll be over to this man’s house tonight to put a bullet in his head while he sleeps.“ The “put a bullet in his head” response is [...]

The Night I Met Jesus: A (True) Christmas Story

Sometimes our learning curve is forced on us, if not by God then by God’s angels say, by Mr. and Mrs. Parke. Being sent to Great Walstead School in 1962 (a boarding school for boys in Lindfield, Sussex, England) when I was ten was one such experience.
