What’s wrong with this story? In my opinion, everything. We have a transgendered teacher, who has decided to cross dress and come to work. The problem is that he works in a Catholic School. The teacher claims he felt that the “school’s attitude” toward him “changed” after he started wearing “multiple earrings,” a “French manicure” and his “shoulder-length brown hair” to school.

  Ayaan Hirsi Ali:The Global War on Christians in the Muslim World Feb 6, 2012 12:00 AM EST From one end of the muslim world to the other, Christians are being murdered for their faith. We hear so often about Muslims as victims of abuse in the West and combatants in the Arab Spring’s fight against tyranny. But, in fact, a wholly different kind of war is underway—an unrecognized battle costing thousands of lives. Christians are being killed in the Islamic world because of... Read more

Along with ignoring Christian persecution themselves, people who are aggressively anti-Christian often criticize and demean anyone who does speak out about it. German Chancellor Angela Merkel ran into the usual angry barbs from this crowd last November when she broke the secularist code of silence concerning persecution of Christians. The brief story below describes a bit of what happened. Merkel’s ‘Christian Persecution’ Comments Draw Ire (AP, November 6, 2012) Opposition lawmakers and human rights groups are criticizing German Chancellor Angela... Read more

A rather obvious case of the Justice Department mis-using the law to harass a peaceful pro life demonstrator has been settled.

The United States Department of Justice subsequently charged Mr Hamilton with a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The government sought $15,000 in fines and another $5,000 in penalties from Mr Hamilton. Even though... Read more

I ignored them then because I had other things on my mind. The reason I got interested now is that I’ve just finished reading the Noah and his flood story in the Bible. I try to read through the Bible on a regular basis.... Read more
