David was far from perfect. The story of Bathsheba tells us that much. But there are other things that this "man after God's own heart" did that leave me puzzled, especially when there's no commentary about how God sees the situation. I was reading the part of the story where he goes to live in Philistine territory to stay out of Saul's way. What bothers me is that he goes off raiding this...
By the time most of you read this, I'll already be at the polls. Here in Pennsylvania, the polls open at 7. This year, it won't be necessary to be there before 6:30. You may think that's early for an election where likely no more than 15% of the people will turn out in places without a "major" race, but precinct has a bunch of diehards, and for years we all like to have a real low stub number...
ADOTAS - While a loud quadrant continues to argue that charging for online content is the only way to save newspapers and magazines (and possibly even journalism as a whole), the possibility that “paywalls” could alienate prized commodities of journalism outposts reared its ugly head over the weekend. Saul Friedman, a popular columnist for Newsday, has severed ties with the paper over its...
I Am Not Making This Up The DNC's bureau of agit-prop have, I guess, come out of the Liberal closet with this one. HITFF can they possibly, not just recommend, but praise Saul Alinsky's guide to overthrowing the United State's government? Listen to this ... “ Saul Alinsky, who was a labor and civil-rights activist from the 1910's until he died in 1972, has written here a guidebook for those...
An NEA website recommends : Saul Alinski wrote the book on American radicalism - two books, in fact: a 1945 best-seller, "Reveille for Radicals" and "Rules for Radicals" in 1971. The "Reveille" title page quotes Thomas Paine... "Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul."...
After a pattern of attacking Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, on a nightly basis, one of the strategies is becoming apparent - MSNBC is in need of a boogeyman to give a face to the opposition of these radical steps being undertaken to fundamentally change health care in the United States. So rather than attack where the opposition is wrong on a policy level, MSNBC "Countdown"...
Textual criticism is a set of clever tools we can use to think about how a text has developed over time. It's not an exact science, of course, but it gives some ideas as to how we have received texts in the form in which we have them. Christians use its tools in studying documents from church history ( e.g. ), and it's even got its uses when it comes to understanding the Bible. After all, the Bible...
After several messy years, it looks like Motorola (MOT) is starting to show signs of recovery. The company posted a surprise third-quarter profit today , and its forecast for the important holiday season is solid. More importantly, it's been able to release two new smartphones -- on time -- based on Google's (GOOG) Android operating system, which represent the future of the company. Before now, Motorola...
The problem I can see with Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is that they might work for overthrowing those in power, but they don't seem to make much sense once you're in power. It's always easier to tear things down than to build something and make it work.
When Sufjan Stevens was asked to write a symphony for New York, he turned to a hated freeway for inspiration. The musician tells Andrew Purcell why The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is a miserable stretch of road. The BQE, as New Yorkers call it, has narrow lanes, no hard shoulder, countless potholes, and is usually one long traffic jam. As sources of artistic inspiration go, it's an unlikely one;...
The New York Times believes the big cell phone manufacturers are moving away from Windows Mobile, and moving toward Android devices. (Based on the recent onslaught of Android news, that’s not hard to imagine.) The article, written by Saul Hansell and titled “Big Cellphone Makers Shifting to Android System,” notes a few facts to make its case: Phone manufacturers that used to favor...
America, let's fight for our country and its freedoms which have been handed down to us by our Founding Fathers who must be grieving over what the current administration is doing in its efforts to undermine what these great men fought so hard to establish. Yes, it's time to take back our nation from the radical America-haters on the Left . Read from the American Thinker : Obamadrama By James Lewis...

2 Samuel 22 1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; 3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn [g] of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent men you save me. 4 I call to the...
