MF's quick follow-up...

2009-08-10T09:50:00.001-04:00

And to dovetail on Terry's views, I would argue that conservatives believe that - regardless of your personal religion or lack thereof - Judeo Christian moral values should dominate American society.Take the issue of abortion. What middle ground is there? Can you be neutral on such an issue?If abortion results in the death of an innocent human being, why should I allow someone to be able to

MF's first response to the shot from TB

2009-08-07T21:08:00.001-04:00

I'm not going to take my ball and go home over the "age of the earth" thing (and in fact I argue from the view of "old earth" when trying to convince someone of the Creator God of the Bible), but...I look at the flat-out mockery that "science" has made of "the science of global warming" and compare it to the similar mockery that "science" made out of "the science of evolution." And I realize the

About Webhosting and Neglecting this Site

2009-07-23T11:08:00.003-04:00

Okay, I've been really neglectful of this blog. The reason is that I have too many projects going all at once, and unfortunately that's not going to change for at least a month. I'll get here as I can, but it's going to be really tough.In the meantime, I want to share some important information about shared hosting for any of my readers who either host their own sites or are thinking about it.

Good Conservative Christian Web Hosting

2009-07-07T21:07:00.002-04:00

There's a great alternative to the traditional web hosts out there, a company that is run by someone who is both conservative and Christian. How do I know? Simple. It's mine. I felt like there was a place in the market for a patriotic American hosting company.I bet you are asking, what the heck do I know about running a hosting company? More than you might think, but that doesn't matter

The shot heard around the world

2009-07-04T17:49:00.004-04:00

And here is where it started to get really ugly. TB decided to elaborate on why he rejected the "young earth" theory. I reject the young earth hypothesis on several grounds.First, carbon dating has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts not related to arguing the age of the earth. Given its reliability, it's difficult to sustain a young earth theory unless one also posits a God who

Back and forth, FF and me

2009-07-02T11:56:00.001-04:00

Just a joke that occurred in the midst of an argument, with the ever affable FF as the instigator:From FF:Old joke:A scientist giving a public talk about the cosmos is interrupted by someone in the audience screaming hysterically. He rushes to where the person is sitting and asks what is wrong. "What you just said," she replies, "about the sun going nova and burning the earth to a cinder." "But

An Attaboy from a New Voice and a Response

2009-07-01T22:28:00.001-04:00

FF lends his voice in this first email simply as an attaboy sort of thing for MF, who then responds anyway. I put them both in this same post...From FF:MF: Well said, as usual.Science is knowledge; faith is belief. No matter what you know or think you know, the critical moment in religion is when you take "the leap of faith."Or look at it this way: Jesus doesn't care how old you think the Earth

We interrupt the email argument...

Supposedly we'll have an interview from him soon.Also, we've redesigned our Conservative Shirts site, but we don't have all the product put in yet.Domain Name For Sale:And, lastly, I have decided to

Young Earth Creationism Argument Part 3

2009-06-13T18:25:00.001-04:00

This is a response I missed when posting the earlier ones. This is from someone we'll call TB:Just to mix it up a bit: I don't think social conservatives want to force behavior; maybe define - or at least argue for - some social boundaries. Not the same thing. American conservatism is, imo, oriented around personal responsibility, personal autonomy, minimalist government, and a deep recognition

Young-Earth Creationism Part 4

2009-06-13T18:23:00.002-04:00

Note: I'll hook all these together once they are done. This is the second response in a row from MF. And to dovetail on TB's views, I would argue that conservatives believe that - regardless of your personal religion or lack thereof - Judeo Christian moral values should dominate American society.Take the issue of abortion. What middle ground is there? Can you be neutral on such an issue?If

2nd for clarification...

2009-05-19T12:37:00.003-04:00

The second email I sent in that series, regarding clarification of my personal stance:And just to clarify for all who may not know me well enough, I may side with science on almost all issues, pretty much on everything except the notion that an omnipotent God can't break His own rules when He wants to; and I may not side with social conservatism a lot because I believe in personal responsibility

The Grand Debate

2009-05-15T15:58:00.003-04:00

While working the start up of Annuit Coeptis we were presented with a typical, irrelevant, obnoxious liberal response from a reader who said that the author of a particular article probably believed in a young Earth. The article had nothing to do with anything remotely related to that, of course, and neither the author nor I believe in a young Earth, and so I decided, just to remove all doubt, to

Swine Flu Conspiracy ShirtDuring the Bush years, nothing could happen that didn't get blamed on Bush, be it hurricanes, 9-11, or whatever. So turn-about should be fair play, right?This brings me to my current subject, the swine flu, which is obviously an Obama plot to kill swine, children and the elderly for the purpose of reducing carbon emissions. You can probably throw in a reduction in

As usual, the libs are up to their ridiculous old tricks of demonizing their oponents, but now they've taken it a step too far. No longer is it good enough for them to simply lie about Republicans trying to destroy the planet and starve little children and the elderly.

The push for the Eurofication of America is in full swing. But maybe, just maybe, yesterday's proof of awaking, might just be what the doctor ordered. Picture 1994.

I am disappointed in President Obama. I didn't vote for him but I wished him well and hoped he would end business as usual in DC. I now realize I was hopelessly deluded.His speech before Congress last night was populist, partisan, cocky posturing. Newsweek was right: We are all socialists now. Government will wipe away every tear, change every diaper, and pay for everybody's college. I

State legislators are accusing the Federal Government of flagrantly usurping its authority and bursting it's constitutional bounds.This allegation is based upon the 9th and 10th Amendments to the US Constitution. It helps to recall a few facts:1) The constitution does not come from the Federal Government. It comes from the people of the several states. 2) The Constitution is a set of

Moonbat du Ecouter - Barack Obama

2009-02-23T13:09:00.004-05:00

Obama is a moonbat for all seasons, but one thing that conservatives, and everyone interested in true liberty, must be prepared to keep an eye on is how Moonbat Obama ends up handling the question of the census. What is at stake here is a massive raping of the electoral college and congressional districting.The debate is whether to actually count people or to estimate them. Guess who wants to

Libertarians, Social Conservatives, Natural Allies

2009-02-18T19:05:00.001-05:00

What's wrong with libertarianism? It's too cold, too logical... Sterile.It lacks the fecundity to spawn an emotional movement, and sociologists tell us that politics is driven by emotion. Libertarianism stands for... Nothing! It doesn't have an elephant or donkey as its symbol, or even a flag.Actually, libertarianism stands for thousands of things: Drug use, homosexuality, gun rights, log

Moonbat du Jour: Roland Burris

2009-02-18T08:36:00.003-05:00

It's never a shocking thing to learn that a Demwit has an issue with the truth. After all, without populist lies, scare mongering and half-truths, there would be no Demwits. But this one actually surprises me just a tiny bit: that newly minted Illinois Senator Roland Burris helped to raise money for Rod Blogojevich and probably perjured himself before the state House panel.I actually felt a

Arguments over global warming, like those over religion, are exhausting and futile due to a lack of

The misguided quest for true conservatism

2009-01-28T10:07:00.002-05:00

I just read a notice that one of the people I know via blogging is starting some sort of qroup/site that quests to return to a true conservatism. Why is it that Republicans always react to defeat by attempting to become more exclusive? Toss out the neocons! Toss out the evangelicals! But politics is very much unlike a sea-going vessel or a lighter-than-air craft. In fact, it is the opposite,

PETArded. Veggie Love ad rejected by NBC for Super Bowl

2009-01-27T18:26:00.004-05:00

Can PETArds and Chicken Littles Conspire to Destroy Your Carnivorous Way of Life? Sure, if you let them.Fresh from their successful attempt to get fish renamed "sea kittens," the PETArds at PETA have come up with a new marketing ploy, submitting a softcore porn video to NBC for airing during the Super Bowl.NBC sent the following response via email:The PETA spot submitted to Advertising Standards

Why Evangelicals and Republicans Need Each Other

2009-01-25T17:56:00.000-05:00

In politics, there is no such thing as divide and conquer.As evangelicals look on in righteous horror as the new Obama administration brings American taxpayer supported abortions to many parts of the developing world, one can only laugh at the over-sensitive evangelicals who bolted from McCain, maybe the strongest anti-abortion Senator in all of Congress, just because he talked about adding Tom

End of the Chain Gang: The Fisherman and the Albertan

2009-01-23T15:50:00.005-05:00

I get loaded up with chain mail: jokes of the day, thoughts of the day, stupid videos, plagiarized garbage, and misinformation. Now I'm going to share the best of this crop, leaving out the crap, from time to time with you.Near a boat docked in a tiny Maritime village, an Albertan tourist compliments the Maritime fisherman on the quality of his fish, and asks how long it took him to catch them.'

This Week in Anthropogenic Global Warming - 1/23/09

2009-01-23T10:09:00.004-05:00

Only Four Years Left to Save EnvironmentalismCatch this load of BS from James Hansen via climate-resistance.org:Barack Obama has only four years to save the world. That is the stark assessment of Nasa scientist and leading climate expert Jim Hansen who last week warned only urgent action by the new president could halt the devastating climate change that now threatens Earth. Crucially, that

Stimulus Economic

2009-01-22T21:23:00.004-05:00

Lots of suggestions have floated regarding alternatives to President Obama's stimulus package, but nothing yet has shown any creativity. Why not look at at a solution that costs nothing and goes straight to the heart of the matter?Many lower primates, Stimulus Economic, are tossing around their favorite targets for the government's cash cannon. They are even showing up on the morning news shows

Is Media Bias to Blame for Economic Crisis?

2009-01-22T11:56:00.006-05:00

Something sneaky is afoot. There is a conspiracy within the media to paint the economy as miserable because they don't like Republicans or George Bush. As soon as Obama is sworn in, the economy will miraculously recover, and the media will give him all the credit. Oh-Yeah!Many conservatives I know have swallowed in great gasping gulps this pitcher of Kool-Aid. Such is our hatred of the media and

A Very Strange Religious Service

2009-01-21T13:09:00.004-05:00

Since his election, Barack Obama has found himself the witness to some of the oddest religious services. Between yesterday's Rick Warren invocation and today's National Prayer Service, there hasn't been a single angry pastor screaming to "goddamn Amerikkka!"At a long abandoned Christian blog that never got off the ground but which I am trying to resurrect, Christian News, I have an article on

American Sentinel Down But Not Out

2009-01-20T12:38:00.004-05:00

American Sentinel, a blog I started last summer, is down but not out.Here's the deal: Apparently Blue Host, the worst hosting company in the world, wants very small websites with no traffic. They want 1 million sites with 10 hits. Once you start doing well, they start harassing you to move. If you have great website aspirations, I would avoid Blue Host at all cost.So anyway, I got tired of

Is the Proposition 8, The Musical, Anti-Christian?

2008-12-04T15:21:00.002-05:00

Hollywood in all its usual glory has put out a new video regarding Proposition 8: Proposition 8, The Musical, Anti-Christian?At first glance it would appear so. Certainly, Jack Black is not a normal Christ figure, as he carries around his shrimp cocktail and opines about the absurdity of the Bible. Follow the link and see for yourself.

Is it just me or are the Japanese obsessed with creating robotic females?

2008-10-07T22:45:00.003-04:00

Somewhere right now there's a Japanese guy putting extraordinary care into the details of a female robot. For most of us Americans, this is where we kind of giggle uncomfortably and wonder whether we should look away. Not so for our Pearl Harbor friends. According to Science Daily, “The Japanese, on the other hand, are very comfortable with humanoid robots, and I think it is something to do with

Did Barack Obama violate the Logan Act?

2008-09-15T12:44:00.002-04:00

I think that's a fairly reasonable question to ask if what is reported in today's New York Post is true.Did Barack Obama violate the Logan Act?

Watching Lousy Movies with My Childrens' Trust Fund Money

My wife and I are movie fans, but we have hardly seen anything since the birth of my little tomboy who will turn 6 tomorrow. Lately, we decided we were going to start making a point of having more time together and renewing our movie watching. So far, we aren't having much luck at finding good movies, but we are flying through the money pretty quickly (I absolutely have to eat popcorn if I'm

So I'm at the hospital where my father's surgery has gone poorly, and I've had nothing but 72 ounces of coffee all day, and so I leave and head down to a restaurant I've never tried before, Five Guys Burgers and Fries.I had considered eating there once before, but didn't because the wife and kids were along and a quick glance at the menu indicated that we would have to forgo our Disney trip to

A Medical Odyssey: Every Decision Matters

2008-08-14T10:42:00.008-04:00

<--Lou GehrigWe like to claim that luck, good or bad, drives a lot of our lives. We like to claim that where we are has everything to do with where we started, the color of our skin, the abuse of others. It is an essential base of the liberal mindset that most things are beyond our control. The truth is that decisions matter. I am currently experiencing a bad bacterial infection that just won't

WWII won by the rising as one voice!

2008-07-23T12:40:00.002-04:00

Speaking at Holocaust Memorial and Museum Yad Vashem, Obama declares that the Holocaust was won because people rose up and spoke with one voice. Somehow, the 14 million allied military who lost their lives were forgotten. To my mind, this is an absolute outrage that, as of yet, is getting absolutely no play in the media.Obama: WWII won by speaking out as one voice.

Oil Companies Racing for New Oil

2008-07-21T13:55:00.005-04:00

Unfortunately for Democrats, the image of lethargic, fat cat oil companies sitting on millions of acres while smoking stogies and laughing at the consumer does not quite wash with the latest news stories.From the Baltimore Sun, we have a story about companies vying to get oil from a small section of the Florida panhandle where OCS drilling is currently allowed. Four companies have snatched up

Idiot Abroad: Obama Campaign Steps on Maliki's Toes

2008-07-20T10:15:00.006-04:00

It should be unsurprising that the Obama campaign would take things out of context and attempt to use them for political gain. And given that Barack is clueless on foreign policy, it should be only slightly more surprising that they continue to do so even when it means stepping on the toes of foreign leaders. Right now Obama is doing what every conservative would have hoped. He's embarking on an

Go Green! Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente

2008-07-15T09:13:00.003-04:00

Now we really have a cause to get behind. It's called Operation Go Green! In case you missed it, the Green Party nominated two asylum escapees, Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente, to run for President and Vice President in 2008. They hope to be on 40 state ballots plus D.C.If you know anything about these women, you know what kind of opportunity is presented here. As Obama moves to the center

Democrats keep bringing up the race issue: Can't we all just get along?

2008-07-14T08:15:00.007-04:00

First we had Hillary announcing that hard working white Americans weren't going to vote for Barack. Then it was Barack Obama, himself, reminding everyone in a speech how scary he was--then adding that he was black. Ralph Nader followed, attempting to guard America's black consumers by questioning Obama's blackness. Now we have The New Yorker, my favorite liberal rag, putting Obama in Islamic

Solutions for Rising Sea Levels, Part 1: Kill the Whales

2008-07-10T12:00:00.009-04:00

Never mind that the ocean has hardly risen at all. Never mind that we don't have any accurate records of current sea level increases beyond just a few years. Never mind that there are many alternate theories about how much the levels might increase or decrease depending upon which theories of climate change you adhere to (here and here). One thing is certain. Based on computer modeling, we need

The Ten Types of People Who Should Vote Democrat

2008-07-09T15:14:00.000-04:00

Should you vote Democrat? Many people shouldn't even consider it, but if you are a member of one of these groups, voting straight along the Democratic Party line might be in order.1) You don't own a car and don't intend to own a car. This might be someone in a large metropolitan area with a fantastic public transportation system. In this case you may not care that the Democrat solution to high

Why a liberal interpretation of Christianity is not Christianity at all

2008-07-08T23:02:00.003-04:00

It is quite the confusing religious world that we live in these days. Christianity seems to be changing by the minute, and the factions that line up against each other are stranger and stranger. I'm not going to get into a full theological discussion at this point, but what is the benefit to liberal Christianity? A Christianity that denies that Christ is the way to God is not even a religion

A Profile in Mass Stupidity Transit--Increasing CO2 Emissions One Bus at a Time

2008-07-08T14:45:00.008-04:00

These days getting lectured by a talking head about taking mass transit is nearly a constant punishment. With implied finger wagging, we are told that our refusal to hop on the train or bus is adding to anthropogenic global warming and leading to our eventual destruction. Of course, these television versions of the village idiot always have New York, Chicago or some other major city in the

Republicans "Swiftboating" Democrats on Energy?

2008-07-08T08:29:00.002-04:00

I've actually seen a few liberal blogs, which I refuse to link to, who are now making the claim that Republicans are "swiftboating" the Democrats on energy.Let's get this straight, Republicans are partially to blame for the current crisis. They sat back for years and let the global warming hysteria and anti-drilling movement go uncontested. But that is where the heart of this energy and economic
