What if the Population Replacement Rate Drops to 2.0. Then What?

| May 31, 2012 | 5 Replies

Twice in the last couple of months I have been faced with the claim that large population growth can continue to occur even though the birth rate remains at 2.0 or below. The claim is on its face not possible (with some notable caveats I mention below)   Let me explain what the chart below [...]

The Tyrant in Us All: Bloomberg Takes on Big Syrup

| May 31, 2012 | Reply

Boss Bloomberg and the city mothers of New York City have decided to crack down on lethal weapons. No, they are not AK-47s and sawed-off shotguns: They’re large cups. Yes, you heard that right. In typical overreach, a decision was made to fight Big Apple, public enemy number one, HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup, aka “Sugar”), [...]

Truth Obeyed Will Heal

| May 29, 2012 | Reply

A great passage from J.I. Packer, an Anglican and Reformed theologian who teaches theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia.  He wrote in A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life that if we obey truth it will heal us. Truth obeyed, said the Puritans, will heal. The word fits, because [...]

The Stimulus Failed: Here Is The Evidence

| May 29, 2012 | 2 Replies

The next time any of your liberal friends talk about how we would have been in a depression had it not been for the stimulus, please send them a link to this post.

Backward and “Forward”

| May 26, 2012 | Reply

Custer went forward. Lemmings go forward. The Light Brigade went forward. And now, in an exquisitely apt marketing move, the incumbent president has chosen “Forward” as the slogan for his re-election campaign. The vice-president, in a noisy visit to Keene State College a few days ago (why does he always wind up yelling at his [...]

I Found Somebody Who is Literally Un-American

| May 26, 2012 | 2 Replies

A while back, one of my colleagues corrected herself after using the word “Americans” to refer to well, some Americans. She then changed it to “North Americans”. There is something that borders (pardon the pun) on silliness about this whole thing. First of all, the idea that using American is somehow inaccurate or elitist just [...]

Moderation and Moderates

| May 26, 2012 | Reply

Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Moderation by definition is not about obeying a law, but using restraint where there is no law. It applies to matters of personal conscience and choice. This is easy to illustrate. There is no moderate position on abortion. You either [...]

The Behavioral Economic Case Against Keynesianism

| May 26, 2012 | 5 Replies

Recently, I wrote a post on behavioral economics, and I discussed the implications this relatively new economic science has on limited government. For those who read the post, you’ll remember I concluded that behavioral economics is not in itself a threat to limited government, even though nearly all behavioral economists are left-winged. Today, I’m taking [...]

Fewer Americans Consider Themselves “Pro-Choice;” Reaches A Record Low

| May 24, 2012 | 9 Replies

A Gallup Poll released yesterday showed that now only 41% of Americans consider themselves “pro-choice.”  I would suspect that if you applied the label that is truly accurate – “pro-abortion” there would be fewer yet… since only 38% find abortion morally acceptable, 51% say it is morally wrong.  I say that is the truly accurate [...]

Stepping Down from the RNC to Step Up for Ethical Stem Cell Research

Four years ago, I decided to run for the position of Republican National Committeewoman.  Two people came to my aid, Gopal Krishna and Norm Pawlewski, and I am very grateful for their friendship.  My campaign commitment was to put first God, family, country and then Party—in that order.  That message resonated to the delegates then [...]
