Expert: “Jesus’s Wife” Fragment a Modern Forgery ~
No, O ye of little faith, Christ wasn’t married.
 
A year of consequences ~ Since the repeal last summer, “Don’t ask; don’t tell” has morphed into “Shut up or get out.”
Paul Hair was correct when he wrote this courageous article last summer about what is essentially a “repeal of morality”: A soldier speaks: why repealing ‘Don’t Ask’ is wrong.

Outrage over Newsweek’s ‘Muslim rage’ cover ~ Newsweek has been reliably left-leaning for more than a decade, propbably one of the reasons it’s been teetering on the verge of insolvency. In recent months though they’ve actually published a couple gusty cover stories; “Barack Obama America’s ‘First Gay President,” “Hit the Road, Barack,” and this week’s feature on the worldwide Muslim protests.
But the publication is learning a tough lesson: when you step off the Leftist reservation and venture into the realm of truth – watch out!
