Why Some Christians Believe in the Inevitability of Global Governance and are Apprehensive of It (Part One)...
by Michael (libertarian)
Published: January 27, 2009
This is strictly an informative, explanatory and historical attempt (as opposed to an “evangelical” one) to relate to others who might be otherwise unknowledgeable about upon what parts of Biblical scripture some Christians base a belief in the inevitability of eventual One World/Global governance and accordingly feel that eventually they will not, as Christians, be able to continue to participate in and must, at a point, separate themselves from it...

Published: January 17, 2009
The Federal Trade Commission's recent attacks upon the dietary supplement/alternative medicine industry could threaten even the most basic Constitutional/Bill of Rights principles of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion--if it is allowed to go on; unnoticed, ignored or unopposed, it could set some of the most damaging-to-Liberty legal precedents to date!!!

Pastor Rick Warren's National Heresy
by Paul Benedict (libertarian)
Published: December 20, 2008
The venom of gay activist groups towards President-elect Obama over his choice of Reverend Rick Warren to lead his inaugural prayer reveals the extreme hatred and intolerance on the far left. These gay activist groups are so self-absorbed that they neither acknowledge the magnanimity of President Elect Obama nor the universal right of every man and woman to pray publically on behalf of all despite their sins of against mere political orthodoxy.

Published: December 6, 2008
This is too precious and poignant not to publicize it: "You are right. Worldwide government is in its toddler stage. It stumbles all over the place, constantly whining and can barely express itself in the most appropriate manner. In fact, it still messes its pants when it gets too excited and runs away to hide when things are not going right."R3volution

Scientology: What is Fair Game?
by Louanne Lee (centrist libertarian)
Published: September 22, 2008
"Fair Game" is one of the key attack points for scientology critics. What they usually mean is that they feel inconvenient if someone checks out what they are actually doing and how this violates other people's rights. I understand that especially those who have something to hide so not like this approach, but it has nothing to do with "Fair Game". Here is what "Fair Game" was when L. Ron Hubbard used the term forty years ago.

An Anlysis of Tenets of Islamic Propaganda
by Seneca (conservative libertarian)
Published: August 24, 2008
"Living faith includes the doubt about itself, the courage to take this doubt into itself and the risk of courage." /Paul Tillich (Dynamics of Faith, p.102)/ Even Jesus so honestly expressed this doubt in those dark moments in the garden of Gethsemane. From that standpoint alone - one can consider modern American Christianity and its nemesis, Arabian Islam, as examples of something OTHER than living faiths - from a historical standpoint. The actual beliefs are something privately held and OTHER than the Orthodoxy. Islamic propaganda wants us to believe in an ahistorical truth, is aiming to convert Westerners with that! Has History lost the power of evidenciary analysis? Luther's motto: "Sola fides sufficit" /Justification by faith alone/ must still apply because nobody knows nor can know the whole truth, but the path to the Truth must be set rightly.
