CLA Radio 08/23/13: JOOZ!

The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 08/23, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be a repeat of the JOOZ! edition of the show from March of this year. Be sure to keep up on our Fearless Leader Generalissimo Duane Patterson’s progress here, and help out if you can here.

L.A. Times still fighting the gun control fight.

In a post on the L.A. Times website, Thomas Curwen attempts to make a correlation between “gun-violence” and “gun-control” as if they are in any way related.  Thomas recounts a late-night shooting over the weekend of two boys near Torrance, California.  Based on the information available so far, the boy highlighted in the article was simply minding his own business with a friend when both were shot with a .45 caliber handgun.  The linked article recounts the heroic efforts of the trauma surgeon to save the boy’s life. Curwen goes on to quote various trauma doctors who are all in agreement that “gun violence” should automatically translate into increased “gun control”.  Nothing could be further from the truth. “Gun violence” is absolutely necessary and useful in a civil society.  To somehow equate the “gun violence” that put two bullets in Osama Bin Laden’s skull to two boys being gunned down on the streets of southern California is ludicrous.  But this is a typical tactic used by those who live with the vision of a utopian society that can never be replicated.  The time to have a discussion about “gun violence” is not when there is blood on an operating room floor and crying parents in a waiting room.  Like many tragedies, it could have been avoided.  If you have ever watched documentaries about airline crashes, you know that one single...

The Truth About Millennials Leaving the Church

This past week, I’ve come across two articles on the topic of why Millennials are leaving the church.   This is a topic that seems to be en vogue in the faith community these days – why people between the ages of 18 and 30 are leaving the evangelical church. On one hand, it’s important to make sure that people in this age group do not abandon faith because it is here where we find the next generation of church leaders. On the other hand, though, some of the commentary on the subject feeds into narcissism and self-importance of...
