Chuck Baldwin on Assaults on Personal Liberties

By Henry Neufeld

I frequently disagree with Chuck Baldwin, and am disturbed when I see the forest of American flags that appear frequently around his church. I live near enough that I drive by that church frequently. But in this article he is absolutely on target.

One of my great hopes for the Obama administration was an [...]

Obama Administration Opposes Fairness Doctrine

By Henry Neufeld

… or so a spokesman told Fox News (HT: Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire). This is good news considering the number of people who are inclined to revive it. (The Fox News report even includes the claim that Congressman Henry Waxman is interested in an internet fairness doctrine, for which idea he is being [...]

Willful, Crusading Ignorance

By Henry Neufeld

I took the title of this post from one of the speakers in the video embedded below. I’ve followed this IUPUI case for some time, mostly via Dispatches from the Culture Wars, but also through the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).

This case is particularly egregious, but political correctness, or the idea that [...]

Chuck Colson says Scripture Commands Limited Government

By Henry Neufeld

Chuck Colson writes a guest column at the Christian Post, in which he argues in favor of limited government from the Bible.

In it, he tells the story of a friend of his who bought some property to create a children’s camp for inner city children, surely a most desirable goal. Over the next two [...]

Oppose Fairness Doctrine

By Henry Neufeld

Here’s a case where I support a position taken by a number of religious right groups–the fairness doctrine. I don’t think it was ever appropriate, and it is both inappropriate and unnecessary now in the information age. The story is on the Christian Post.

In the information age, all we need to do is [...]

Ouch!

By Henry Neufeld

. . . but on target. I refer to this post on Pursuing Holiness. My own preference is that churches and religious organizations define marriage for their own constituents, and the state simply define households. Laura’s words about free speech destroying human rights committees are also on target.

Against Personal Freedom on the Left

By Henry Neufeld

Ed Brayton reports on a victory for FIRE against the University of Delaware, which had a diversity training seminar that was mandatory for all students. It was followed up by big brother style watch-dogging.

Just in case some of us might get the idea that it is only right-wing ideologues who would like to indoctrinate [...]

Burma/Myanmar Reminder

By Henry Neufeld

On October 4, 2007 I participated in Free Burma Day by posting just a banner reading Free Burma and nothing else all day.

I received an e-mail today from the U. S. Campaign for Burma, asking that we not forget what’s going on there. They mentioned several avenues for action, one of which works well [...]

Agreement on Spying

By Henry Neufeld

I sometimes wonder precisely what the purpose was of electing a Democrat-led congress, considering their track record. I’ve gotten a couple of notes from the ACLU on this, and also got it from the Washington Post today.

My problem here is not that [tag]surveillance[/tag] does not need to occur in some cases. Rather, my [...]

Satellite Imagery Confirms Myanmar Atrocities

By Henry Neufeld

Those interested in the situation in [tag]Myanmar[/tag] (formerly Burma) will be interested in this story from ScienceNOW published by the AAAS.

Researchers used high resolution images from commercial satellites to confirm a substantial number of reports of atrocities by the Burmese military.

For those interested in taking action, see the U. S. Campaign for Burma.
