The Castle Church Door

Obama’s vice presidential running mate will be none other than Sweet Caroline herself. Think about it, if Barack calls upon Caroline Kennedy he will do nothing but increase his rock star status by strengthening the aura of Camelot regained. Think about the drama of a sick, weakened Patriarch drawing his last public breaths to anoint Obama the true heir while a princess-of-the-blood takes her rightful place in American ...

As Charles Brown already notes in his summary of chapter 2 of The Revolution, Ron Paul raises the interesting issue of Christian just war theory. Citing Christian thinkers from Ambrose to Suarez Paul concludes that the war in Iraq fails to live up to the standards of just war theory. Paul (Ron not Apostle) lays out three foundational principles: 1. An initial act of aggression in ...

Paul begins the substantial part of his book by taking up the issue which has probably gained him the most notoriety. Among leading Republicans, Paul has been virtually a solitary voice against the interventionist wars of recent years, encompassing both the Bush and Clinton administrations.

In response to the requests of a few readers, ...

Walter Jones not only survived his Republican Party primary challenge but won decisively. Here is an short editorial by Christopher Check. If we had lost Jones or Jimmy Duncan what hope could still be found in the Republican Party? Cheers the Old School.

I’ve started a weekly column here. Probably the most significant abortion litigation in the country right now just became public: story here. (Let ‘er rip, SteveZ!) Adventures in politics here. Email me if you want to contribute! Regarding the last, and the previous post and comment—for all you BFers, I hear Chellis has political aspirations, you need to recruit him for Beaver County DA.

Bill Kauffman has written a good article explaining an underlying commonality between the three remaining major-party presidential candidates.

Alan Keyes, a favorite of politically conservative Christians, announced yesterday that he will leave the GOP in favor of a third party run for the Presidency. For Keyes, a brilliant orator but a poor vote getter, this may be his second run against Barack Obama. Keyes was the Republican candidate for Senate against Obama in 2004.
