An Excellent post on spotting Authoritarian Leadership

This is a repost from bruceashford.net Hannah Arendt on How to Spot (and Resist) Authoritarian and Totalitarian Leaders and Movements During the upcoming year, I intend to study the authoritarian and totalitarian impulses that exist among portions of the Left and the Right in Western liberal democracies. I’ve just finished reading a fascinating book, Polish political philosopher Ryszard Legutko’s The Demon in Democracy: Totalitarian Temptations in Free Societies. I’ll also read Italian political philosopher Augusto Del Noce’s The Age of…

Here is an article on the millennial preference for traditional single…

Governments and Budgets – where is the boundary line?

Why can’t Bible Believers participate in Same-sex wedding Ceremonies

With the Washington State Supreme Court hearing oral Arguments in the Barronelle Stutzman (Arlene’s Flowers) case, today seems like a good time to try and help people understand why Bible Believing Christians can’t in good conscience participate in Same-Sex wedding ceremonies.  I don’t presume to bring complete argument that is one size fits all, but what I do hope to present is an emotional argument akin to the kinds of arguments that the LGBTQ Lobby has used so many times…
