Tim Alberta’s The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory is a great book. The author’s intended purpose is to investigate the errors that have allowed MAGA extremism to permeate the evangelical church. The book’s overall sentiment can be summarized by this quote from a passage where the author was interviewing Cal Thomas: “When Trump mentioned […]

This transpired earlier this evening at Hofstra University. CROWLEY: Governor Romney, pay equity for women? ROMNEY: Thank you. And important topic, and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed

The downward spiral is just accelerating for this guy. A month ago he sided with the birthers with his racist “no one’s asking for my birth certificate” remark.

American religious conservatives are being sold a bill of goods by all of the GOP candidates. Rick Santorum recently went on the record declaring that he’s the true Christian candidate, and that Obama’s worldview is unbiblical. The gall! And then Franklin Graham got on the air the next day and agreed with him! There are

There’s like this weird vibe on Facebook now. It seems like people can’t share what’s on their minds anymore, since what’s on their minds has suddenly become political. If they say anything they limit it to shallow topics. But there is one side that remains presumptively loud. I think it can be traced to events
