Is Beltway Partisanship Going to Get Us Killed?

Last updated on: March 24, 2017 at 3:02 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress this week. The president of the United States went into full bully mode before this speech saying that the invitation was a partisan move to embarrass him. In the end, he managed to embarrass himself, and at least 50 of his fellow Democrats in Congress. First, administration operatives chewed on the invitation to the Prime Minister. We’ve been treated to all sorts of press questions because Congress didn’t consult the president before issuing the invitation.... Read more

History of the Crusades: The First Crusade 1099

Last updated on: March 4, 2015 at 9:32 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I am aware that there are Islamic teachings which lead to a more peaceful application of that faith. I think that the interpretation referenced here is an accurate depiction of of the application of Islamic teachings of a thousand years ago. It also seems that it is still relevant to Islamic extremists today. I want to emphasize that this video discusses events which happened almost over a thousand years ago. The reason I am posting it here is to correct... Read more

ISIS march 21 men onto a beach in Libya. Twenty of these men were Christians. One, a Chadian Citizen, was not. He watched the Coptic Christians die for Christ. When the terrorist murderer demanded that he reject Jesus Christ as his God, he replied, “their God is my God.” He was then beheaded with his Christian brothers. The joy in this story is that 21 martyrs to Christ entered heaven that day. They are praying for us now. From the... Read more

Netanyahu’s Speech to Congress: An Overload of Truth

The Obama Administration has engaged in unseemly behavior, trying to block Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech before Congress. I say it is unseemly because Congress is a separate body of government and it is their right to invite anyone they want into their house to address them. That simply is not the President’s call. I’m going to leave all the policy considerations alone, and leave it at that. I know how the Oklahoma House of Representatives would react if the Governor... Read more

After 9 Years Ripping Off the Priesthood, Gay Priest Leaves, Blames Church for His Life of Lies

Priests are human. I think I established my belief in the humanness and fallibility of priests a couple of weeks ago. I managed to outrage a lot of people by not being all that surprised or all that outraged by the fall from grace of one of our local priests. To be honest, I was a lot more surprised by the anger people felt toward him than by his action. Based on the reaction to that post, I’m buckling my seatbelt in preparation for this... Read more

History of the Crusades: Pope Urban II Father of the Crusades

Last updated on: March 2, 2015 at 4:11 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Islamic wars of conquest against Christians had been going on for over 300 years when Pope Urban made his famous speech launching the first Crusade. The Crusades were defensive wars. Claims to the contrary are historical fantasy which are put forward as an excuse for Christian bashing. This anti-history is so widely taught and accepted that the President of the United States referenced it in a speech, conflating Christians and Christianity with the barbarism of ISIS. This speech ignored the... Read more
