House approves Christmas resolution
By Tom Strode – Dec 13, 2007
The House of Representatives approved a resolution Dec. 11 acknowledging the significance of Christmas and Christianity.
The roll call was 372-9 for passage. The resolution’s sponsor expressed astonishment over the “no” votes. Rep. Steve King, R.-Iowa, said he could not understand how members of Congress could vote against the measure after the House approved without opposition similar resolutions honoring observances of Islam and Hinduism.

Richard Land: A Hope List for Romney’s Speech
Nov 5, 2007
Former Massachusetts Governor and current Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is going to give a speech on “Religion in America” tomorrow in Texas.
I have been encouraging Governor Romney to give such a speech for over a year now, since I first met with him at his home in Massachusetts. He had invited approximately a dozen evangelical leaders to meet with him to have a free-wheeling discussion about his presidential candidacy and to allow us to ask him questions—and to allow him to ask us questions as well.

Willcox: Why We Still Must Fight

In all the grand speeches and requiem tributes today — commemorating the events of Sept. 11, 2001 — there are likely to be few references to Whittaker Chambers. But Norman Podhoretz rightly reminds us of Chambers in “World War IV,” his bracingly mordant account of the West’s battle against Islamofascism. It is a battle that entered a critical phase six years ago with the carnage in New York, Washington and rural Pennsylvania.

Our Religious Destiny
By ARTHUR C. BROOKS
August 20, 2007; Page A11
According to data from the 2002 International Social Survey Programme, an American is four times likelier than a Frenchman to attend a house of worship regularly, and eight times likelier than a Norwegian. Europeans are more likely to disdain faith openly: In 1998, the average Dane was seven times likelier than an American to agree that, “Religions bring more conflict than peace.”

(republished by The Day, Connecticut on July 6, 2007)
I knew something was up when I couldn’t get a cab. Then there were sirens and helicopters whirring overhead. I stopped a passerby to ask what was going on. He said something about a car bomb outside a disco six blocks from my hotel. A few hours later, I finally found a taxi. The driver warned me that it was nearly impossible to get across town. Another bomb had been uncovered in a car park. Next day, more news: a suicide bomber had driven his Jeep into an airport and jumped out, his body on fire, screaming “Allah! Allah!”

WASHINGTON — Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values. That sentence is inflammatory, perhaps even a hate crime.
At least it is in Oakland, Calif. That city’s government says those words italicized here constitute something akin to hate speech, and can be proscribed from the government’s open e-mail system and employee bulletin board.
