Kill the ‘Kill Switch’

Joe Lieberman: China can shut down the Internet, why can’t we?

by Justin Raimondo

Who else but Joe Lieberman would introduce a bill to give the President the power to shut down the Internet with the flick of a switch? I’m afraid of the answer to that question, [...]

The Individual vs the State – whose your momma now?

Much of western civilization political thought is devoted to the nature of the STATE. Centuries of experience and aspiration are embroiled in the fundamental dichotomy between the individual and the state. When the understanding of this chronicle is applied to the American Saga, a central question emerges. By what authority does the state claim [...]

Censorship is from the left

THE INCONVENIENCE OF TRUTH

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

It’s funny, but in America it is always the “right” that is accused of censorship. Whenever implications of burning books or attempts at squelching free speech are made, it is always the “conservatives” that get the blame.

I don’t know where that ruse got started but [...]

The Rule of Law Has Been Lost

By Paul Craig Roberts

What is the greatest human achievement? Many would answer in terms of some architectural or engineering feat: The Great Pyramids, skyscrapers, a bridge span, or sending men to the moon. Others might say the subduing of some deadly disease or Einstein’s theory of relativity.

The greatest human achievement is the [...]

ATHEISM IS A FRAUD

Atheism is the established religion in America. Humanism, Environmentalism, Darwinism, Materialism, and Global Warming are examples of its denominations. It is all fake, made up. Atheists don’t believe in no god, but rather, that they are god. Atheists believe man is the final judge. That is why they flock to government positions. Government “officials” [...]

“Alinsky-Logic” and Phony Liberalism

[ Many postmodern liberals are actually "radicals" -- and that means they follow "Alinsky-logic" to get their political will done. They are certainly not genuinely anti-war. Just ask Cindy Sheehan... ]

Kierkegaard on the National Debt

I consider Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) to be one of the greatest modern Christian authors of all time, surpassing the eloquence and brilliance of C.S. Lewis and other notables. His psychological analyses and philosophical insights into the human condition are highly regarded, even among those who refuse his passionate call to follow Christ. Moreover, [...]

Was Michelangelo a closet Kabbalist?

Michelangelo ‘hid secret code in Sistine Chapel’

By Malcolm Moore in Rome

The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which the renaissance artist worked on for four years in the early 16th century, is actually a “bridge” between the Roman Catholic Church and the Jewish faith, according to The Sistine Secrets: Unlocking the Codes in [...]

Bulldozers and Nietzsche

The irony of the article below this apparent: Why should a fan of Fred Nietzsche (or any other pagan/atheist, for that matter) care about the “sanctity” of a grave-site?  In a “god-is-dead” world where evolutionary forces (i.e., mindless matter+time+chance) all conspire to yield inherent randomness, what does “sanctity” mean?  How can one of his followers wax poetic over the injustice of [...]

Practical Christian Pacifism

by David A. Hoekema

Few moral and theological positions are as deeply cherished by their adherents, yet so quickly dismissed by their opponents, as pacifism. The moral legitimacy of using violence is among the most urgent issues of our time, and yet its discussion slips quickly into an exchange of stereotypes. Pacifists are to [...]

Search for the “Perfect Sphere”

This morning I read a fascinating article that asked why a 118-year-old cylinder, the international prototype for the metric mass, is losing weight. The cylinder certainly isn’t being meddled with by humans, since it is kept tightly in a triple-locked safe at a lab outside Paris and rarely sees the light of day. It is used exclusively [...]

The Devil’s Logic

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.” G.W.F. Hegel (1770 – 1831) 

What’s the shtuss about Hegelian Dialectic?

It’s been said that modern politics operates on the basis of the so-called “Hegelian Dialectic,” a method of social engineering based on a rather dismal theory about how precious little [...]

Kierkegaardian Truth-Telling

(This comes from an apologetics paper I once wrote.) 

Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) takes issue with the modernist approach of alienating the subject from the world, but does so from a different perspective than Heidegger (although there are some similarities of approach, especially since Heidegger was influenced by Kierkegaard). Although he has been accused of being fideistic, [...]

A Heideggerian Question

(This is an excerpt from an apologetics paper I once wrote.)

Martin Heidegger (1899-1976) sought for a new way of considering the “whatness” of things by asking the question, “What does it mean for something – anything – to exist at all?”  Not this particular thing, nor that (i.e., the realm of the sciences and traditional [...]

Immanuel Kant and Charismatic Christianity

Postmodern Charismatic Christianity is a phenomena of despair.  By “despair,” however, I do not mean “gloom” or “dejection,” but rather an absurdist anti-intellectualism that derived from the loss of hope regarding obtaining real knowledge about the world. In popular culture, we see that this despair arose just after WWI (in the USA, earlier in Europe), though its roots trace [...]
