The Destruction of Washington Street Methodist as a Metaphor

As Northern victory drew near in 1865, on the night of February 17/18 troops under General William T. Sherman set fire to the Washington Street Methodist Church in Columbia, South Carolina. Legend has it – highly plausible – that the soldiers intended to burn down the First Baptist Church. But when approached and queried by Union soldiers as to the Baptist church’s location, First Baptist’s quick-thinking sexton directed the soldiers around the corner to the Methodist church. Within minutes, that church was in flames. So goes the story.[1] Without a doubt, however, the First Baptist Church was where the first day’s meeting of the secession convention met, on ...
Revival Comes to Town

They say a revival has taken place in a small Kentucky town. On February 8th, students at Asbury University–a private Christian school in Wilmore, Kentucky, just outside Lexington–gathered for their weekly chapel service. The preacher for the day, Rev. Zach Meerkreebs, offered a message in which he prayed, “Lord, revive us with your love.” Immediately afterward, Meerkreebs texted his wife, saying that he didn’t think the sermon was very good. “Whiffed again,” he told her. As he took his seat, a song began to play. The students in the room sang and offered praise in response. But they didn’t stop. It just kept going. Click for Full Text!

Faced with the certainty that pro-abortion Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein will not defend a North Carolina’s law requiring a woman to make an in-person visit to obtain mifepristone, the first of two drugs making up the chemical abortion technique, “Lawyers for Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore filed papers in federal court asking to enter the case as new defendants, saying someone must be in place to rigorously defend state abortion laws,” Gary D. Robertson reported for the Associated Press. Under North Carolina law, abortionists must provide mifepristone in person “at a particular type of facility after a 72-hour waiting period and, in some ...

Walter Grinder, a grand champion of liberty, passed last December. While not well-published, Walter was a scholar of the literature of liberty and a leader at the Institute for Humane Studies. He was dedicated to removing barriers to human flourishing by imparting the ideals of liberty. John Hagel III, Walter’s long-time friend and collaborator, explained, “Walter was consumed by the desire to share his reading and thoughts with his network of libertarian associates and protégés in more personal ways, so that they could see more clearly how it connected with their specific work and interests.” Walter shared insights from his scholarship in the form of emails ...

After millions of dollars dumped into Nevada to elect pro-abortion legislators in the 2022 cycle, it is no surprise that the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzarro used her FIRST bill as a thank you to the abortion industry. On February 20, SB131 was heard in the Commerce and Labor Committee which is fitting as the bill hopes to bolster Nevada as an abortion tourism destination while disregarding the health and safety of women, children, and unborn babies.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) urged the current regime to ignore an anticipated federal court opinion that would bar the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from distributing an abortion drug. Federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is hearing a case in which plaintiffs claim the FDA wrongly approved the abortion drug mifepristone. Observers expect Kacsmaryk’s opinion to be handed down before a February 24 filing deadline. Click for Full Text!
How the Founders Read Montesquieu
Post Date: 2023-02-22 20:02:08 by Charles_Byrd
0 Comments
Scholars and especially commentators in need of a quotation frequently cite Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu to support the idea of a “mixed” constitution with democratic, aristocratic, and monarchical elements. Rarely, though, are Montesquieu’s works, especially The Spirit of Laws, explored at length. Montesquieu is more likely to be plumbed for quotes to diminish current politicians rather than to be read seeking wisdom. Some writers even call him a prophet. Once in a while, however, engaging Montesquieu in this way can produce something thoughtful, like this piece by Harvey Mansfield, but that is rare. What has long been needed is a ...

The U.S. Naval Academy has renamed a building that once honored Matthew Fontaine Maury, the founder of modern oceanography. It is now named for President Jimmy Carter, a failed president whose most significant achievement was ordering the failed rescue mission of American hostages in Iran. The reason Maury had to go: He served in the Confederate Navy, all things Confederate now being the subject of a communist campaign of lies and hate. Click for Full Text!

While war rages in Ukraine, all is blissfully peaceful on the home front. Americans have embraced the official narrative. No western movie ever drew the good-versus-evil line so clearly or crudely. The White House, Congress, and the press insist that Ukraine is the innocent victim of unprovoked aggression, that Russian forces will threaten all of Europe if they are not stopped, and that the United States must stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes” to assure victory. Dissenting from this consensus is all but impossible. Even in the run-up to our 2003 invasion of Iraq, a few lonely voices cried out for restraint. Since we plunged into the Ukraine War, such voices are even ...

On Tuesday, the GOP-controlled Senate in the state of Mississippi passed House Bill 1125, which will ban “gender reassignment” surgery and hormone replacement therapy for minors. The bill has completed its legislative journey, with the Mississippi House of Representatives having already passed the bill in January. Governor Tate Reeves, a Republican, has already vowed to sign the bill when it hits his desk. In 2021, Reeves signed a law prohibiting so- called transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports in the Magnolia State. Click for Full Text!

Euphemisms are always meant to sound true, not be true. In fact, they intentionally try to prevent people from knowing the truth. Reproductive Freedom. Women’s Healthcare. Reproductive Justice. Women’s Right to Choose. Abortion Care. It’s all just clever but cunning branding. But it has fatal consequences. Click for Full Text!

Black history in these United States is American history. I really hate the notion that blacks need our own month to celebrate our history, because it perpetuates the fiction that blacks cannot fully participate in the American experience. However, our staff writer, Jessica Geraghty, decided to take the opportunity to call on Philip Smith, the founder of the National African American Gun Association to help us reflect on some Black Gun History Matters and celebrate how far we’ve come in the interest of equality under the law as it relates to gun rights.
