That editorial is here: http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_20243435?source=bb The Post-supported individual mandate is likely the most un-American of … Continue reading
Denver Post (Partially) Redeemed
No sooner had I posted critically as to The Denver Post’s praise of Pres. Obama’s so-called “compromise” on the contraceptive mandate than it published this column by its fine columnist, Vincent Carroll. In the same issue, The Post’s cartoon choice … Continue reading

Who really won in Ohio?
Like the Centennial Institute at CCU, The Franklin Center (www.franklincenter.org) is addressing the importance to the Republic of journalistic integrity.

For an Informed and Participative Citizenry
Natural human interest in the salacious apparently spans at least two millennia. Virgil’s Aeneid (25 B.C.) remarks upon “rumor, than whom no other evil thing is faster.”[1] Already in the 1860s, C.H. Spurgeon could cite as an “old proverb” the … Continue reading
