Wilberforce Redux: What the Planned Parenthood Videos Mean

The Planned Parenthood videos are a moral turning point in the battle for protection and respect for all human beings in all stages and stations of life. My hope is that it will be a practical turning point as well, leading to the legal protection of all children in the womb. But at the very least, it is a moral turning point. --The closest parallel to the modern pro-life movement is the anti-slavery movement of the late 18th and the 19th century. Both movements have defended the helpless and the weak against the strong, and both movements defended the full humanity of all human beings.

Do Recent Events Show the World Is Falling Apart, or Reaffirm Timeless Principles?

By Timothy H. Lee - To some people, recent events suggest that the world as we know it is falling apart. ✧ But think of it another way. Paradoxically, today’s events simply reaffirm timeless principles. Moreover, they reassure us that recommitment to those principles offers a remedy. ✧ Consider: The nation’s credit rating just declined for the first time in history. The floor suddenly dropped from stock markets. Unrestrained rioters terrorized England and set it aflame. Moammar Gadhaffi remains in power, months after President Obama promised that the Libyan military effort would be measured in “days, not weeks.” ✧ Can anyone truly consider these events surprising, given the public policies that led to them? Only if one dismisses the laws of economics, morality, physics and human nature. Read more at Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF)... Read More......

Bill Bennett: Whitewashing Reality

THE CORNER, 11/23/2009 by Bill Bennett - Is there anything more important than the issue of terrorism? Domestic terrorism and foreign-based terrorism that aims to strike us internally? I well recall the 2006 Nickle Mines Amish School massacre of six children. And I recall Jay Nordlinger saying: “This is what we would have thought would have been one of the last safe places in America.” Who would have thought a health care center . . . run by the Army . . . in a Fort . . . in Texas, would not have been the last safe place in America, safe from terrorism, safe from our own U.S. military hosting an officer-terrorist. Of course, as we all know, it was not safe. On November 5th, 14 people were shot to death by a Radical Muslim in Army uniform. He had a laser sight on his gun. ∴ Why has terrorism, how has terrorism, come to be such a rare and indeed controversial identifier here? Let’s look at what the American people think.

Rethinking the Summer of Love

SFGate.com , July 25, 2007 - Cinnamon Stillwell wrote,

This summer marks the 40th anniversary of the so-called Summer of Love, that mythical three months in 1967 in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood when visions of peace, love and harmony -- aided by bountiful quantities of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll -- reigned supreme.

The Summer of Love has since become legend-- an expression of countercultural revolution, particularly in the minds of those recollecting the glory days of their youth. However inaccurately, this three-month period encompassing a tiny fraction of the population and an eight-block stretch has become a symbol for the entire decade.

Among '60s disciples, it's an article of faith that everything that came out of that summer was a boon to American society. This has certainly been the impression conveyed through popular culture. Rarely are the more pernicious offshoots of the social and political experiment known as the Summer of Love referenced in the glowing and groovy portrayals seen on PBS and the History Channel.

But in its haste to dispense with all tradition that came before, the Summer of Love generation threw out much of the good along with the bad. The attempt to live in a manner that is essentially unsustainable led to a proliferation of divorce, drug-use, promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, and all the perils and problems associated therewith. Too many people left their families, became addicts, and in some cases, lost their lives.

When all social boundaries are tossed aside and self-fulfillment becomes one's raison d'etre, society breaks down and, with it, all sense of morality. Seen in this light, the Summer of Love starts to seem more like the Summer of Folly. Continued...
