We Suffer for Our Sins; 9-11 as punishment

The Prophets of the Bible (Jeremiah, Isaiah et al) rebuked Israel, saying we suffer for our sins. It was Israel’s misbehavior (rather than Nebuchadnezzer’s), that caused the destruction of the holy Temple in Jerusalem, the icon of God’s presence in the world. Our sins were so egregious that even King Josiah’s repentance (about […]

Of Course You Realize This Means War!

Sympathy for the Devil Victims After the Islamic terror attack in Nice, politicians around the world expressed their sympathy with the people of France, sending warm thoughts and prayers.

You Have to Ask the Right Question

Q: Was it morally wrong for the United States and Canada to imprison their citizens of Japanese ancestry during World War II, and confiscate their property? A: It was a horrible illegal act, discriminating against people solely because they looked different. Italians and Germans, whose ancestral homelands were also the enemy, were not locked up. […]

“So this is how liberty dies…”

…with thunderous applause” I’m a sci-fi enthusiast. I love The Time Machine, the many volumes of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, Asimov’s Robot and Foundation series, and more. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen Star Trek (TV and film), and Star Wars. When my kids were young, I ran Star Trek […]

Any Fool Can Know

At about 11:00 a.m. on July 17th 2015, a gunman attacked a storefront Naval Recruiting Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, firing aggressively into its window. No one shot back, because Bill Clinton had long ago disarmed U.S. soldiers on military bases. As any fool can know, as the only one armed, the gunman had the situation […]

A Different Kind Of War

We must adapt if we are to survive. Forget “religion.” Forget “nation” and “geography.” Don’t even think about “ideology” or “economy.” The […]

Peaceful Times Are Over

The Dark Ages Have Arrived It’s been peaceful here in North America. There hasn’t been a war in the United States since the end of the Civil War a hundred and fifty years ago. There hasn’t been a war in Canada since we kicked America’s ass in the War of 1812. We’re not used to; […]

ISIS Is Right

ISIS is a pathologically brutal organization trying to make the world a better place. Who can disagree with making the world a better place? You may not agree with their definition of “a better place,” but can you really say their hearts are evil? A restored Caliphate is an ancient Muslim dream, and these hardworking, […]

Once We Were Warriors

The recent Sabbath murder of a rabbi in Miami, the sucker-punching of Jews outside a kosher restaurant in Montreal, and many similar incidents around the world do not point to a rise in Jew hatred. Rather, they show that anti-Semites (whether neo-Nazi or Muslim) feel more comfortable expressing their contempt, whether through insults, vandalism, or […]
