Father Orthoduck will make this post very brief. The comic above illustrates an attitude that is all too common in USA history. Beginning in the 1950’s, USA political doctrine was that it was safer to support friendly dictators than it was to take a chance on unknown freedom movements. Thus, in the post-World War II […]
When politics gets ahead of Christian truth
Up until yesterday, Father Orthoduck was a subscriber to a pro-life newsletter that kept him up with pro-life oriented news. No, it was not Right-to-Life. But Father Orthoduck had been growing increasingly uncomfortable with the newsletter because more and more it would keep running anti-government articles, specifically anti-Obama articles. That is, rather than concentrating on […]
Obama’s speech on the Tucson murders
Yesterday, President Obama faced the difficult task of trying to speak to a nation that had been battered by the pundits and talking heads since the murders in Tucson. I call them murders because they appear to be premeditated. I do not believe that the accused will be able to use the insanity defense. I […]
The shootings in Arizona, a time for weeping and a time for quiet reflection
This past weekend, a shooting rampage happened in Arizona. A female Democratic Congressional Representative and a male Republican Federal Judge were killed. I wanted to wait to write something because the news were unclear and because assassinations of this magnitude need careful analysis rather than instant reaction. What I could do, I did. I prayed. I prayed for […]
A good article on Europe and Christian heritage
Normally, I do not post articles written by other people in their entirety. But, this article is worth the effort to post here. Mostly, I tend to heavily critique American Christian political conservatives for many stances that worry me. But, this is a very nice article and critique of Europe, whose Christian problems are the […]
Thanks Chief Justice Roberts, it needed to be said
Yesterday, Chief Justice Roberts of the United States Supreme Court issued his end-of-year report, in it he said some rather strong things to Congress. Fox News quotes his report: Citing the economic downturn as one of two “immediate obstacles” to improving the performance of the federal judiciary, Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts […]
Penelope Cruz, Fox News, and the anything but fair and balanced approach
Very recently, Penélope Cruz, the Spanish actress who has acted in quite a few films and has currently finished being one of the stars on the yet to be released Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, announced that she and her husband are expecting a child, and that they plan on having it here […]
Common ground with fiscal conservatives
Moderates have common ground with fiscal conservatives in a couple of areas. We do not tend to have common ground in various areas of social concern, because many of today’s political conservatives argue that the government should not be involved in areas of social concern. But, we do tend to have common ground in the […]

Chart comparing Stewart/Colbert with Glenn Beck
Father Ernesto had a very busy day yesterday. He apologizes for not posting his planned second post on being fallen and damaged. Meantime, Father Orthoduck is posting below a graph that compares attendance, tweets, etc., between the Stewart/Colbert rally and the Glenn Beck rally that took place right before the November election. No, Father Orthoduck […]
