Time to Act

Posted on October 1, 2022 by David E Smith

We are all familiar with the expressions, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” or, “A stitch in time saves nine,” meaning it is wise to catch a problem early, while it is small and manageable, rather than to wait until it has grown and become a serious threat. We understand this with things like weeds in our garden or cancer. But somehow, we neglect it in the arenas of politics and culture.

Adolph Putin?

Posted on March 7, 2022 by David E Smith

What we are witnessing in Ukraine is not a tragedy, it is an atrocity. A tragedy is when an innocent person dies in an accident. What Vladimir Putin is inflicting on the people of Ukraine, and to some extent on his own military personnel and citizens, is an abomination, an unjustified violation of every standard of justice and goodness. It is an evil that Europe and the world have not witnessed since Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

How the Cancel Culture Stifles Creativity

Posted on February 13, 2021 by David E Smith

We saw it during the Super Bowl on Sunday, as many of the commercials fell flat. We saw it with the cancelling of the Washington Redskins name, only to replace it with the Washington Football Team. And now we’re seeing it with the replacing of the Aunt Jemima brand with – get ready – the Pearl Milling Company. (You heard that correctly.) The cancel culture is stifling creativity.

Karl Marx and Black Lives Matter

Posted on August 22, 2020 by David E Smith

An important new book by historian Paul Kengor sheds considerable light on Karl Marx and by implication the madness and mob violence that has descended on the country.

The throngs setting fire to police stations, looting stores and tearing down America’s cultural history are acting in the name of Black Lives Matter, a Marxist group that our ruling elites have airbrushed and turned into a totem of worship.

Are Today’s Leftists Truly Marxists?

Posted on August 14, 2020 by David E Smith

Most people who call themselves Marxists know very little of Karl Marx's life and have never read his three-volume "Das Kapital." Volume I was published in 1867, the only volume published before Marx's death in 1883. Volumes II and III were later edited and published in his name by his friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. Most people who call themselves Marxists have only read his 1848 pamphlet "The Communist Manifesto," which was written with Engels.

The Not-So-Secret Weapon of Cultural Warfare

Posted on March 23, 2018 by Benjamin D. Smith

Jesus once stated that “the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light” (Luke 16:8). Unfortunately, this has been proven all too true in recent generations when it comes to the battle for our culture. On the whole, it seems that those who oppose Christ have been far more successful in shaping society than have the followers of God.

Christians Must Stand Against Racism and with Christ

Posted on August 17, 2017 by David E Smith

In the wake of the violent confrontation and death in Charlottesville, Virginia, the response of the church seems curiously one-sided. For example, one of my friends, a pastor, expressed his sadness and anger about the events and that he was grateful for those pastors who stood with the counter-protesters.

Most of what I see on social media are denunciations of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Nazism, and white supremacy, with calls for pastors to use the opportunity to condemn racism. Since the church of Jesus Christ must oppose any kind of racism, this is a good thing.

But my friend’s …

America’s Enemies in Hollywood Then and Now

Posted on January 29, 2015 by David E Smith

With the war on Islamic terrorism being portrayed as a righteous cause in “American Sniper,” the Clint Eastwood film breaking box office records, a book which documents the days when Hollywood was a mouthpiece for communist propaganda might seem out of date. But Allan H. Ryskind’s book, Hollywood Traitors, is a reminder that Hollywood can’t always be counted on to take America’s side in a war, even a World War when the United States faced dictators by the names of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

The Ryskind book, published by Regnery, documents how the much-maligned …

OK, So It is a Life. Let’s Kill It Anyway

Posted on February 1, 2013 by David E Smith

There seems to be a disturbing new trend that must be yet one more tragic effect of widespread postmodernism (truth is left up to each individual to define). A new documentary film shown at the Sundance Film Festival about late term abortions called, After Tiller has some astonishing admissions from a pro-abortion propaganda piece.

One of the late term abortionists profiled in the movies, Dr. Shelley Sella, actually uses the term “baby” to speak of the unborn children she terminates. The director mentions how her patients go on “grieving the loss of their child.” But it doesn’t …
