If America were as racist as her mostly internal critics insist, then every politician would eagerly seek out the “racist” label. They would all, as one wing of the Democrat Party did to its sorrow, label themselves “Dixiecrats” and campaign vigorously on a platform of returning to those “thrilling days of yester-year.” If that were the case today...
An extremely well educated, intelligent individual asserted in a discussion on morality and ethics that morality is completely separate from religious principle. I found this assertion interesting, and even though I would substitute Bible for religious, I heartily disagree...

A quote by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas really sticks with me: “I have come… to assert my right to think for myself, to refuse to have my ideas assigned to me, as though I was an intellectual slave…” Born in a small Texas town at the close of the Great Depression to a hardworking laborer and his schoolteacher wife, I learned...

Edmund Burke, an 18th-century political philosopher, said: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing." To paraphrase Mr. Burke, the failure of good people to vigorously oppose evil ultimately allows evil to triumph...
