Can an Evangelical Christian Vote for Mitt Romney?
Now that the question of who the 2012 Republican presidential nominee will be seems to have been answered, another question is being hotly debated in Evangelical circles: Can an Evangelical Christian vote for Mitt Romney? It’s a question that’s been discussed all along, but for most Evangelicals, it was a question that they hoped they [...]
Quote of the day: The Feds and the Family Farm
“The consequences of the things that you put in your regulations lack common sense…if the federal government can regulate the kind of relationship between parents and their children on their own family’s farm, there is almost nothing off-limits in which we see the federal government intruding in a way of life.” - Kansas Republican Senator Jerry [...]
Quote of the day: I Was “Alarmist” About Climate Change
“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened. The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway [...]
Doing My Part For Global Warming
Note: This piece is from 2008. I try to post it annually in honor of Earth Day. A few weeks ago we were making a presentation to a prospective customer and one of his employees, when someone mentioned that a particular feature of our products and services would help in compliance with environmental regulations. ”Yeah”, said the employee, “We’ll be [...]
Susan G Komen, Planned Parenthood, and Ezra Klein’s Spinning Pie Chart
The two-step that was so clumsily danced by the Susan G Komen organization last week brought a great deal of chatter on the internet as well as in the mainstream media. It was on Facebook where, as usual, I saw most of this chatter, and once again I found myself a bit surprised by what [...]
Post-mortem Caffeinated Thoughts on the 2012 Iowa Caucuses
Here’s some random observations on the caucus season which has just concluded and we’ve either enjoyed or endured, depending upon your view: Much has already been said about the Kent Sorenson switcharoo, but one thing I haven’t heard as yet is discussion on the implications of the flap upon the Christian faith. Sorenson, Michele Bachmann, [...]
Jim Bob Duggar at the Rick Santorum Caucus Night Victory Party
Jim Bob Duggar of the famous family featured in TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting was in attendance at the Santorum Caucus Night Victory Party last night at the Stoney Creek Inn in Johnston, IA. He was there with a lot of other people, of course. The room was especially crowded due to a combination of [...]
Sporting Events on Holy Days
This is an interesting piece that asks some thoughtful questions, but the problem is that the author seems to be utterly ignorant of a more basic question: We’ve been desecrating the Lord’s Day (Sunday) with sporting events for generations now, so why would anyone give any thought to having sporting events on Christmas? If we [...]
For whatever it’s worth, I endorse Rick Santorum
For a number of reasons, I have been reluctant to talk much about what particular candidate I may have been considering over the last several months. For one thing, I’m not convinced that anyone really cares what I think about who to caucus for. But my pal (and Caffeinated Communications Founder/Editor) Shane Vander Hart recently [...]
Rick Santorum in the post-debate spin room at Sioux City
Rick Santorum made himself available to reporters in the “spin room” after the debate last Thursday. All the candidates have staff and spokespersons there of course, but Santorum came in and answered questions personally. This practice is in keeping with his approach to the campaign as a whole: You have to make yourself “available” and [...]
