“We’re now well into the second decade of the pause. If we don’t see convincing evidence of global warming by 2015, it will start to become clear whether the models are bunk. And, if they are, the implications for some scientists could be very serious.” – Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

“People are less dissatisfied by what they lack than by what others have.” – George Will

Government: The redistributionist behemoth

The greedy pursue things for themselves with little regard one way or the other for anyone else. The envious, however, want what someone else has, and, failing to get it, can be just as desirous that no one else should possess it either.

Envy is no more virtuous than greed. It may even be worse. Exodus 20:17

“My stance on Tebow has not changed all season. I do not know if he will be a great quarterback, or even a good one. What I know is he has an intangible that defies explanations. He finds ways to win. And I would not bet against him.” – Jen Floyd Engel

“Bachmann is responsible for the type of people she hired to run her Iowa campaign, but that still doesn’t justify how she was treated by Sorenson and Enos. I have never seen a presidential candidate be treated with such disrespect. This soap opera is what gives politics a bad name. Not only does it hurt all involved, but it also undermines Iowa’s First-in-the-Nation status. Bachmann deserved better.” – Craig Robinson

The Ten Things I Wish I Had Time To Write About

For a number of reasons, I have been reluctant to talk much about what particular candidate I may have been considering over the last several months. For one thing, I’m not convinced that anyone really cares what I think about who to caucus for. But my pal (and Caffeinated Communications Founder/Editor) Shane Vander Hart recently made the case that now is the time to make a decision about who you are going to support and get behind your candidate. So with that admonition, I decided that it might be best that I go public with my choice and also give a few reasons for doing so…

“Parents need to teach their children the Ten Commandments. It’s hard to keep what you do not know.” – Rev. Michael Ericson

“So far this decade, 34 men in Texas, most of them black, have been exonerated by modern DNA testing. They spent 10, 15, 20, even 27 years wrongly imprisoned for rape before being released. No such remedy is available for Cole, a bright, likeable young man who got along well with everyone and who, in the spring of 1985, had his whole life ahead of him.” – Wade Goodwyn

Family of Man Cleared By DNA Testing Still Seeks Justice

“A giant of Old School Presbyterianism at Princeton, Charles Hodge, was one of the few Presbyterian controversialists to turn their guns on Darwinism prior to World War I. Hodge published his What is Darwinism? in 1874, three years after The Descent of Man was published, and argued that Darwin’s system could not be reconciled with biblical Christianity.

Most churchmen, however, took a far more prosaic attitude. In the early period, it must have appeared far from clear that Charles Darwin‘s theory of natural selection would come to be hegemonic among scientists, as refutations and alternate systems were still being proposed and debated. Then, when evolution became widely accepted, most churchmen were far less concerned with refuting it than they were with establishing schemes whereby Darwinism could be reconciled with Christianity. This was true even among prominent Old Schoolers at Princeton Theological Seminary such as Charles Hodge’s successors A. A. Hodge and B. B. Warfield who came to endorse the ideas now described as theistic evolution.” – From Wikipedia’s article on the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy

“When a nation permits parents to kill their own offspring with impunity, that is anarchy at work.  When the same culture criminalizes selling two-gallon flush toilets or Happy Meal toys, tyranny is at work.” – David Shedlock
