I was interested to see today that Donald Miller gave the benediction at the Democratic National Convention. I had heard before that Cameron Strang, editor of Relevant magazine had pulled out of offering a prayer there because he felt like he couldn’t be seen by his subscribers as taking a political side. I didn’t really consider who they might ask instead and was a bit surrprised that Donald Miller was the replacement–I suppose I expected ...

I used to be merely indifferent to organized religion, never quite understanding how anyone could buy into it. I was raised without it, and I’m a “damned” good guy, if I do say so myself. I value the transpersonal or spiritual dimension of experience above all else, I treat others with respect and courtesy, and everyone who knows me considers me a “good person.” I’ve never had need of religion, while having a more or ...

Mark Rizzn Hopkins has challenged the consensus on Mashable over the Obama plan to appoint a CTO of the United States. It’s a good read, but it needs response. Mark takes the valid libertarian line, that we are better off without Government interference in the tech sector. It’s a just idea, and as much as no Government interference is a noble cause, it’s also unrealistic. In the United States at least the tech sector is ...

I’ll let you decide how you felt the candidates fared. Apparently, there was something going on in China, so if you missed the forum: Read the transcript Watch the video

On his campaign Web site, John McCain laments that “wasteful special interest subsidies are not moving us toward an energy solution.” In particular, McCain tees off on “subsidies, tariffs and price supports that focus exclusively on corn-based ethanol” - one of Barack Obama’s favored fuels. McCain, however, has become a vocal advocate for the oil industry, which is itself heavily subsidized despite enjoying the fruits of soaring crude prices. Doug Koplow, who’s been researching energy ...

"En fait, les Etats-Unis sont loin d'être un pays fasciste, ça c'est une mauvaise analogie. Mais la similitude avec les techniques de propagande fasciste est frappante et n'est pas fortuite. Les Nazis, explicitement, consciencieusement et ouvertement ont adopté les techniques de la publicité commerciale étatsunienne. Ils ne s'en sont pas cachés. Ils ont pris quelques idées simples pour les marteler sans cesse tout en leur donnant un côté « glamour » - c'était (...) - ...

Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-Second Coming), in a letter to UAW officials last Friday, endorsed a plan to push through $4 billion in aid to prop up the Detroit Three. The package of tax credits and loan guarantees is a proposed part of a second (and real) economic stimulus package working its way through congress for a September vote. Those billions would then be used to secure up to $25 billion in loans, which ...

This is not exactly a packed gymnasium of cheering soldiers.Look at the massive distance between him and the soldiers.

by Jeff Huber Barack Obama scored major national security marks with his July 14 New York Times editorial "My Plan for Iraq" and his speech in Washington D.C. on July 15. He deftly addressed Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's insistence that the U.S. make deadline-centric plans to end its occupation of Iraq and outlined the core of the coherent foreign policy and national security strategy he'll pursue as president. I'm not saying Obama parked one out ...

Barak Obama's pandering to the hard left anti-Iraq War crowd has drawn a sharp rebuke from the liberal Washington Post. BARACK OBAMA yesterday accused President Bush and Sen. John McCain of rigidity on Iraq: "They said we couldn't leave when violence was up, they say we can't leave when violence is down." Mr. Obama then confirmed his own foolish consistency. Early last year, when the war was at its peak, the Democratic candidate proposed a ...

One of our New York City tipsters and regular friend of the site, was minding his own business, strolling down Broadway, when he came across a rather imposing Maybach surrounded by rather imposing bodyguards. Our hero was eventually shooed away by one particularly massive fellow, but not before he confirmed it was the carriage of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons. Elbowing his way back in momentarily, he managed to take a photo of the rear — ...

In 2000 I was part of a small group of religious leaders invited to Austin, Texas, to discuss a new White House faith-based initiative with George W. Bush before he came to Washington, D.C., as president. I was an early supporter of the initiative because I believed that partnerships between the faith community and government in alleviating poverty were both necessary and appropriate within the framework of the Constitution.
