Bush Administration on Birth Control as Abortion

Thanks to the Thirsty Theologian for giving me the heads up on this recent, and surprisingly pertinent, Wall Street Journal article…

Part Duex: Legislating Morality - Should the State Take a Stand on First Things? ala Peter Kreeft (with a little help from C.S. Lewis)

For those of you who had your interest piqued on the previous morality post, I thought I’d pass along these extremely interesting lectures by Dr. Peter Kreeft (author of “The Unaborted Socrates”), in which he attempts to answer the question: “Should the State take a stand on First things?”
Here’s part 1 (and I think you [...]

Ronald Reagan in Verse: The New Cold War

Karsten Piper recently inspired me to do so more poetry, and also linked to 22 other modern poets and their poems (including this poem by Tony Hoagland that was pretty deep). I very rarely write in verse, and I don’t even know if I did it right…but hey, I tried.
