Hot Off The Press – What is a Statesman, and What is Coercion?           By Theresa Fritz Camoriano           Kentucky’s former governor, Louie Nunn, recently died, and the press has been praising him for being “courageous” and “a statesman”, because he broke his campaign pledge and raised taxes.  I did not know Governor Nunn well but had talked with him a couple of times, and I am sure it would not have been difficult for the press to find many genuinely positive attributes that they could have praised.  However, misleading or tricking voters surely is not something most of us would consider to be a positive attribute.  If breaking promises to voters makes a person courageous and a statesman, then Bill Clinton must be the most courageous statesman we have seen for many years!          (click to read more)

Where Should Christianity and Government Intersect?        By Theresa Fritz Camoriano         It seems that, in today’s so-called “tolerant” society, the one thing that cannot be tolerated is Christianity. For example, children are punished in government schools if they say a prayer before a meal or include a cross in one of their drawings.  A recent book, Persecution, by David Limbaugh, provides extensive examples of the persecution Christians face in the U.S. today, often in the name of “tolerance”.   I would like to suggest two reasons for this phenomenon:  First, many people want to live according to their own rules, do their own thing, and not be measured against any absolute standards or absolute truth; since Christianity supports absolute standards, it makes these people uncomfortable.  Second, Christians themselves frequently do not act in accordance with Christ’s teachings, often provoking an anti-Christian backlash.          (click to read more)

Wilmette, Illinois: Trouble In Paradise.         By Thomas Crane          In response to a proposal made by Rep. John Bradley, D.-Marion, Illinois, that would override such bans when the guns are used in self-defense, Mr. Chris Boyster of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence was quoted as saying in the January 29, 2004 edition of the Illinois Times that Mr. DeMar, the man who shot the perpetrator who broke into his Wilmette home for the second time within 24 hours, "Did not have the right under the ordinance to keep a handgun in his house."  "He (Mr. DeMar) was not a law-abiding citizen," he said.  Mr. Boyster went on to say, "He had a handgun, there was a handgun ban, he broke the law."        (click to read more)
