I’ve never met Geert Wilders…

But I’ve met Pam Geller, one of the most fearless foes of Jihad there is. I’ve met the people she has associated with and I’ve seen what they have gone through to protest us.
Beck has the right to his opinion but Pam knows the facts and I trust her.

And in case you have the same questions I had, here were my tax questions (all line number refer to form 1040): (more…)

One of the things that generates a lot of debate concerning religion is the nature of the bible. This is a subject that has entranced scholars for centuries.
If you want to study and understand history and western civilization you have to know the bible. Even the great atheists such as Christopher Hitchens understand this as true, but in my opinion it is even more important to understand two things about the Bible:
What it is designed to be.
What it is not designed to be.
First of all what is the purpose of the bible…
