Though some foolish, uniformed, and lazy voices would claim otherwise, there is little to no moral equivalency between the platforms and positions of the left and the right.
The Democrats and the Republicans are at odds with one another on a number of vital issues.
The Democrats are a proud, death-cult political party that celebrates what God hates.
As Dr. Andrew Walker notes, the Democratic platform, written by their key leaders, is the most radical platform in U.S.… Continue Reading

A Christian brother recently told me that he was originally planning not to vote in this presidential election. He obviously wasn’t going to vote for Kamala, and given Trump’s support for abortion pill access, he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Trump either.
Abortion is so morally repugnant that he couldn’t see himself supporting a candidate who supported access to even the pills. For him, abortion was a reason to not vote in this election.… Continue Reading

“Operation Swing State” is in full gear for the upcoming general election on November 5th.
The goal of this operation? To convert as many people as possible to the pro-child sacrifice side not only in Illinois but also in key swing states like Wisconsin.
NPR Illinois recently covered the work of this operation:
“On a hot sunny day in September, Elizabeth Posner and Mark Steen, two volunteers from Illinois, drove around the politically purplish city of Racine, Wis.,

There is no conservative case to be made for Kamala Harris.
None.
Obviously, there are many conservatives, particularly Christian conservatives, who are not voting for Donald Trump based on conviction and principle. It’s a position that is, in my estimation, reasonable and legitimate. But all that reason and all that legitimacy immediately flies out the window when such an individual announces intent to cast a vote in favor of a spectacularly unfit, ideologically radical, and morally untethered political party fabrication like the candidacy of Kamala Harris.… Continue Reading

It doesn’t annoy me that people have disparate opinions on issues that matter, or more specifically, that others would find my own personal opinions ill-informed or wrong. The world might well be a boring place if everyone agreed on everything, so you won’t find me in the camp of those wishing to eliminate intellectual or ideological diversity.
What does annoy me is when a sizable group of people are willing to suspend intellectual curiosity to the issues that matter, put their fingers in their metaphorical ears, and refuse any modicum of critical thinking when forming and spouting opinions.… Continue Reading

Earlier this year, Gov. JB Pritzker urged the Democrats in the General Assembly to pass legislation placing three advisory questions on our ballots for the upcoming election. Every voter in the state of Illinois will have the options of voting either Yes or No.
These questions are non-binding, meaning they simply act as an official poll of voters to guide state lawmakers on public opinion regarding questions of policy, but do not directly change law.… Continue Reading
