Marco Rubio Rips Cuba Apologist Tom Harkin

American leftists, who get indignant if you accuse them of being communists or communist sympathizers, sure seem to praise communists whenever and wherever they can find them. No matter what the carnage or the misery of the people of a nation, such as Cuba, the Left can’t help but extol the virtues of a despot such as Fidel Castro. Castro brutalized his own citizenry, suppressed opposition by jailing or killing any rebels, and made life a living nightmare all the way around. From Michael Moore to the Congressional Black Caucus to Ozzie Guillen (manager of the Miami Marlins), our friends...

My Contribution To The Black Community

For the record, contrary to the misleading image of American Blacks marketed by the liberal mainstream, I state the following: I’m NOT a pro-crime activist, so don ‘t ask me to join the latest hand wringing over the next Black thug to buy the farm. Innocent victims, however, are another matter. Security:  personal, communal and cultural, is my sector of the civil rights movement. I don’t mentor nor invite Black boys and men old enough to know better to figuratively sit on my lap (ugh!) and whine about how unfair society is for actually holding them responsible for very real...

On Liberal Christians

Is there such a thing as a “liberal Christian?” A question like that may sound like a joke, but it is quite serious, with profound implications for millions of professed Christians. Is it possible to be both Christian and a liberal/progressive? Let’s talk a bit about basic theology. Jesus came to Earth for one reason only: to give us a way out of eternal condemnation. God knew that the way He had his people atone for their sins, through endless animal sacrifice, would never cut it in the end. People sinned too much and had finite resources and patience...
