I have now spilled much ink contending for the proposition that religion and politics must mix, using the Jaffe memo as my leaping off point. On the face of it, such a proposition would fly in the face of the notion of a ‘separation between church and state.’ However, it is important to note that…
The Jaffe Memo and separation of church and state, part 9
| January 5, 2012 | Posted by Anthony under General |
This series is, believe it or not, winding down. In part 8, I highlighted how some of the population control proposals of the 60s and 70s- as illustrated in the Jaffe memo- have been put forward, almost word for word, in our modern times, especially visible in the area of ‘climate change.’ Actually, these proposals…
The Jaffe Memo – Part 6; EVERYTHING is Now Political
| December 26, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
In Part 5, I concluded that something very significant has happened over the last three decades: ‘politics’ has become all-encompassing. In short: everything has become political. And if everything has become political, and Christians are supposed to butt out, that means that the Christian is being asked (or told) that he can have absolutely no…
Why Religion and Politics Must Mix; Jaffe Memo reflections continued- part two
| December 22, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
This morning I posted a lengthy post on the Jaffe Memo, a document provided by a vice-president of Planned Parenthood in 1969. This memo has been making its rounds because it advocates for the encouragement of homosexuality, forced abortions, adding sterilants to the water supply, and so on and so forth. All this, from an…
The truth about who pays taxes: Everyone and No One Simultaneously
| December 9, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General, politics, taxation |
Everyone pays taxes even when nobody pays them; nobody pays taxes, because everyone pays them. You cannot target just one ‘group’ because that group will ultimately diffuse that tax to some other group. Hence, every tax becomes a tax on everyone, and never a tax on any particular group. Solution?
Proper Response to Genuine Social Injustice: Reflections on Obama’s Student Loan Proposals

Thomas Paine said: “is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine.”
Exactly. But it would appear that some modern ‘political physicians’ specifically wish to create systems that are ‘so exceedingly complex.’ Keep the patient sick seems to be the order of the day. Otherwise, he won’t need a doctor.
Reflections on the ‘Dragon Mom’
| October 20, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under abortion, Blog, Christianity and Culture, pro-life |
Posted this at the WI-LFL blog: Someone pointed me to an op-ed in the NY Times by a ‘dragon mom.’ Her son, born with Tay-Sachs, is not expected to live beyond three years old. And yet, despite this- or is it because of this?- the joy she has with him is immense and incalculable. Our…
