    Usairways asks 6 islam passingers to leave plane

    9/11 wasn't a century ago; it was five years ago. Slight difference there, wouldn't you say? And I find it interesting that nobody seems to have a problem with a Brit saying that he doesn't need to apologize for what happened so long ago, yet today in America whites are expected to grovel...

    Usairways asks 6 islam passingers to leave plane

    Can Muslims not pray quietly at the deisgnated prayer times? Does it have to be out loud and standing? Obviously not, since most of the time when I've seen images of Muslims praying they are kneeling down. This looks more like a deliberate attempt to provoke an incident to stir up...

    Rangel(D) renews call for military draft

    Nobody is forcing anyone into the military right now. Rangel wants to force people to serve, despite the fact that everyone knows that politicians of both parties will ensure that their own kids don't get sent to the front lines, or get outright deferments. Rangel is merely trying to score...

    Why is America the Most Conservative Developed Nation in the World?

    America donates more money to the third world than the rest of the world does. America is always the first to send help when disaster strikes. It is because of America's conservatism that America acts in time of need. Liberals talk, conservatives act. That's why Europe spends most of its...

    Rangel(D) renews call for military draft

    http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=25593 Yeah, I know, the reflexive left will dismiss the link because it's FrontPage. Three points, though, regardless of partisanship. First, Bush will veto the heck out of any draft bill Rangel puts forward, and the Dems have no...

    Christians and homeschooling

    Really? In that case, there shouldn't be any problem. I didn't meet a single black person until I was 15 years old, and amazingly enough, they looked and acted just like people to me. Frankly, it's a stupid statement that homeschooled Christians who stick to their own faith are going to...

    Catholic Church has to be infallible

    Where We Got the Bible Henry Graham I'll see your anti-Catholic propaganda and raise you with historical fact.

    Papal Infallibility.

    That was a scientific theory, not a religious doctrine. Not true. Nobody was burned for wanting to read and study the Bible. They were burned for teaching falsely about Christ and what the Bible meant. They were also burned for falsely translating the Bible to suit their own personal...

    Worst book you ever read?

    Well, if we all liked the same thing, there wouldn't be 31 Flavors, would there?

    Are soldiers evil?

    St. Michael the Archangel is a soldier. Does he seem evil to anyone? Evil must be opposed, and sometimes the only way to oppose it is through force of arms.

    Democrats Tell President Bush: Don't Propose Judges Against Abortion

    Yes, but the problem is that to the Democrats and their base, anyone opposed to abortion in any way whatsoever is an extremist on abortion. I hope that Bush keeps sending up pro-life judges, even if the Dems keep shooting them down. If he can do that, he might very well tilt the balance back...

    Churches that require tithing in order for you to become a member

    Catholics are not required to tithe to remain members. My parish is known for its generosity anyway; we donate a LOT of money to the church of our own free will, and the result is a beautiful church and lots of charitable works throughout the community. That which is given freely is valued far...

    150 reasons to be Catholic

    Don't worry about it. The Bible doesn't make a big deal of Peter being married, because it's not really that important in terms of Peter's importance to the Church. The Gospels do speak of Jesus healing Simon Peter's mother-in-law. I find that a lot of Protestants seem to know about this more...
