I feel no shame over the Obama administration authorizing women in combat. I didn't make the policy decision so I have nothing to apologize for or repent of. However, those permitted to go into combat should be required to exhibit the exact same athletic endurance as a man. Though few have sufficient manhood to admit it these days, the rational for excluding women up until this point was not so much that their lives were so much more valuable than that of a man's but rather so that they wouldn't be a burden and thus endanger the lives of men finding themselves amid the upheavals of armed conflict.

Frankly, other than that you have trusted in Christ, what other assurance do you possess that you are saved? The doctrinal sticklers making a fuss splitting soteriological hairs this thin insisting this is dangerous would be the same ones to look down their noses at those driven insane by the fear of hellfire and external damnation.

At the Inaugural Luncheon, Obama and his minions feasted upon bison. Though Washington is full of bovine excrement, it is doubtful that this particular dish is locally grown. Wasn't it Obama that condemned the American people regarding the outrage of eating what we want, driving around in SUV's, and keeping our homes climate controlled at 70 degrees?

In describing his plans for Jonestown 2.0, Beck badmouthed the concept of the backyard. Apparently, in the ideal COMMUNITY, it is not enough for neighbors to simply wave to each other as they pass each other going about their own business. Instead, they are suppose to be up in each other's business. Ultimately, Beck is becoming no better than the Emergent Church crowd and even the "Progressives" he spent much of his career at Fox News ranting about.

It is being pointed out that in certain jurisdictions that it is illegal to hunt dear with a weapon holding more than six rounds of ammunition. Liberals then snip how deplorable it is that we as a society care more about the deer than our fellow human beings. But aren’t the liberals the ones that have promulgated this spirit of jurisprudence where animals are often elevated to a position of superiority over human beings through largely pointless regulations and penalties that serve no real purpose.

In expounding his vision of his proposed utopian community (in other words, a cult compound), Glenn Beck intoned, "There isn't going to be a Gap here. There's no Ann Taylor. You want an Ann Taylor, go someplace else." However, the question must be asked. Once people move there, will residents be allowed to travel beyond its boundaries to visit these retailers as they see fit? And if neighbors spot you with merchandise from these merchants, will you have to fear assorted forms of retaliation? Years ago, in a letter to the editor criticizing a column I had published, one of the criticisms insinuated was that I dared to shop at establishments that were not in the COMMUNITY.

So if the incident of Achan in Joshua 7 is to be exegeted as meaning that God will thwart the efforts of a church because of a single unconfessed sin, does that mean a network should be set up where the members and attenders of a particular congregation can rat out alleged transgressions to the ecclesiastical authorities? The fact that Achan and his family were ultimately put to death in the passage doesn't exactly contribute to an atmosphere where those hearing this narrative will be wanting to own up to their shortcomings willingly if we are to heed its warning so literally. Furthermore, it is a bit of an interpretative stretch to insinuate that a congregation, where the age of the average attender is probably over the north side of 50, is guilty of Achanism because the swarms of children flocking to the annual summer vacation Bible school don't usually end up sticking around to be Sunday school regulars. Shouldn't those that have been around organized Christianity for any amount of time know that is just the way the ball rolls?
