Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life.

An Inconvenient Truth
I saw An Inconvenient Truth over the last weekend. I liked it. Mr. Gore does a great job at providing a layman’s review on Global Warming. With that said, he does a bunch of things that drove me absolutely nuts. First off, why were so many of those charts not to scale? I realize that’s… Continue reading An Inconvenient Truth
