As you know, three months ago, the democratically elected president of Honduras was overthrown in a military coup. Back then cartoons such as the one in this post were widespread among conservatives in the USA. The automatic charge was that Zelaya was a leftist and that President Obama was merely backing a fellow leftist. There […]
Glenn Beck did NOT boil a frog
Many of you have seen the video above where it appears that Glenn Beck boiled a live frog on national TV. Horrid blog stories and YouTube postings have been going around about this. Unfortunately, most people did not do the research necessary. Glenn Beck did NOT boil a live frog. It was a special effects […]
There they go yet again, and again, and again
Father Orthoduck saw this comic this morning and his bill dropped. Now as best Father Orthoduck can see it, the comic is trying to claim that there will be a massive change under the new healthcare bill. The comic appears to be trying to say that under the new healthcare bill hospital emergency rooms will […]
ACORN has extremists within it
Father Orthoduck has previously pointed out that there are some real whack jobs on the right wing. They deliberately twist the truth and consider themselves to be justified because they are preventing a worse evil. There is a willingness to lie and distort the truth because the ends justifies the means. They violate God’s call […]
On Joe Wilson and incivility
Father Orthoduck is drifting farther and farther away from the Republicans with whom he voted during the late 1980’s and into President George Bush’s second election. The drift began during President Bush’s first term as the debate about illegal immigration heated up. You see, Father Orthoduck was working in an inner city area, and among […]
Speaking the truth in love
Yesterday I quoted Saint Paul, “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.” I wrote that in connection with the tendency of too many bloggers to just write neither exactly the truth nor to write in love. And, that is a […]
Are we not all tired of the arguing yet?
Father Orthoduck saw this quote on another blog. Are you frustrated with the constant bickering between the parties? Are you tired of the “he said, she said” of current politics? Do you wish the Congress would get about the business of seriously debating legislation, based on real logical principles? Well, you are not the only […]
Christians and sweat shops overseas
Father Orthoduck is aware that Christians from every political persuasion have condemned the sweat shops and forced child labor used in several of the countries that provide our clothing, toys, etc. There is no religious support for children being exploited by adult owners in order to save wages and benefits in order to make better […]
Does God like democracy? — part 04
So, if a human monarchy does not appear to be what God wishes as his most preferred government then what type of governmental system does God prefer? Well, I could go governmental style by governmental style, but let me cut to the chase. The Scriptures do not give support for any one type of governmental […]
Does God like democracy? – part 03
Now yesterday it might have seemed that I was supporting a monarchy, but that would not be true. I was pointing out some of the arguments that can be made pro-monarchy. But, there are arguments that can be made against a human monarchy. One version of that argument is found in the Book of Samuel. […]
