America Has Been a Faith-Based Initiative From the Beginning
When one surveys America’s history, she has been a faith-based initiative from when the first Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts Bay in 1620. The pursuit of becoming the “city on a hill” lighting the way for the Old World captured the imagination, will, and purpose of what became the American Experiment. The Puritan vision so captured […]
The ‘Reagan’ Movie—A Great Reminder of What a President Should Be
I am one of the fortunate Americans who has had the privilege of viewing the movie “Reagan.” If you have not seen it, gather your family and friends and go see this movie. It is a truly great movie and does President Reagan justice in portraying him as one of our truly great presidents. The […]
‘Settler Colonialism’: A dangerous Intellectual Virus Loose On American Campus
Many Americans were surprised and mystified by the outbreak of pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, and antisemitic protests on college campuses across the nation earlier this year. What on earth was going on? Why were American college students in such large numbers marching and occupying buildings in favor of Hamas (identified by the U.S. government as a terrorist […]
John Leland: American Patriot and First Amendment Hero
The great and inspiring story of how American patriots forged a new nation that enshrined and guaranteed the “inalienable rights” that we have been privileged to inherit and enjoy for more than two centuries is filled with the contributions of extraordinary men, many of whom are not as well known to posterity as they should […]
The Christian’s Duty In A Revolutionary Age (part 1)
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, It was the spring of hope, it […]
Genocidal antisemitism in America?
I am certain that most of the Christian Post’s readers have been as shocked as I have been by the shameful and gruesome scenes of virulent, genocidal antisemitism breaking out on the campuses of major American universities. Until I saw it with my own eyes, I would not have believed such scenes could have erupted […]
Not again: A preacher denouncing politics
It seems there are a few recurring themes that surface in the public arena again and again as if they were part of some invisible merry-go-round. One such theme crossed into my vision field this past week. My first thought was, “Not again!” But there it was, a “fire-breathing,” preacher denouncing “getting involved in politics” […]
Senator Joseph Lieberman: American extraordinaire
I was saddened to hear the news of the somewhat sudden death of Joseph Lieberman, a four-term senator from Connecticut (1989-2013) and the Democrat nominee for vice president in 2000, making history as the first Jewish candidate to grace a national party ticket. During that very tightly contested 2000 presidential campaign, then-Senator Lieberman emphasized his […]
Ukraine: America’s honor and world peace are at stake!
Economists often like to use the phrase “the full faith and credit” of the United States. That phrase encompasses the economic well-being of the American economy. Is the economy stable? Can the government pay its debts? Is its credit reliable? When it comes to the United States of America, “full faith and credit” includes military […]
The many forms of child abuse: Where are the adults?
My daily perusal of numerous articles and news stories has led me once again to ponder in bewilderment how and why America can become such a child-neglecting, child-abusing culture in such an astonishingly short time period. First, I read that perhaps three in 10 of our nation’s students in grades K-12 are “chronically absent” from […]
