For those who say Scripture is authoritative, it should guide them not only in religion on Sundays, but also in politics, economics, and academics More >

Even though I don’t know who will stand for my party this fall, I know what my party stands for. More >

Say no to NYC jihadist shrine

Freedom of religion settles it as far as building the Ground Zero mosque is concerned, says Susan Barnes-Gelt in the August round of Head On TV debates; so ignore the “dittohead” opposition and build it. Absolutely not, says John Andrews. “To erect a Muslim shrine on a Muslim killing field is just wrong.” John on the right, Susan on the left, also go at it this month More >
