This Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I went on a drive through upstate New York and Vermont, and as we were driving through one small town after another, there were photos of fallen local heroes hanging on lampposts to commemorate their sacrifice. It was a touching reminder of what this holiday weekend is really … More Remember the Fallen
We tend to overlook the moral complexity of characters and storylines, cause they’re just fun superhero movies. As broken as our country is, American values run deeper in our culture than we usually realize, and I think it would do us a lot of good to talk about that. … More The Avengers Bolster American Patriotism
What makes America… America? It’s not just bacon cheeseburgers, football, the wild west, cowboy boots and the star-spangled banner—though it is all of that. America is a nation, and yet more than a nation. America is an idea, a belief, a people—it’s “We the People,” and the belief that people matter, really matter. … More The Battle for the Soul of America
The most sacred role of government is defending life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the reason the American government was instituted, and it is the most straightforward argument for the defense of the unborn. In 1776, the American Founders unequivocally declared that God, not government, gives every person the right to life, … More Abortion is Never a Constitutional Right
I stand in the gap between typical opposing views on feminism—I believe in strong, powerful women who embrace their feminine qualities, play their roles well, and don’t belittle the men around them. That’s why this particular moment in Avengers: Endgame caught my attention and I had to reign my imagination back in to stay present … More That Girl Power Moment in Avengers: Endgame
Whistleblowers are at the center of a swirling vortex of apparent contradictions, where Constitutional rights seem to create dangerous loopholes for confidential information to land in the wrong hands and put lives at risk. Are they heroes or traitors, valiant campaigners for truth, misguided freedom fighters, or mere publicity-seekers? We want limited government. We want … More Real Whistleblowing Doesn’t Undermine National Security
Radical factions are pushing the environmentalist idea that the earth is alive—a living, possibly sentient, organism. The most extreme call human beings a “planetary cancer” and argue for abortion as a means of population control. History tells a dark tale of various attempts at population control, all rooted in the same tragic misconception: humanity’s rapid … More From Malthus to Marvel: The High Cost of Population Control
I thought I knew what to expect from this movie. And I thought I’d come out of it with tons of ideas for a punchy review. I was wrong. It’s not a typical, low-budget, happy fluffy Christian film. It’s extremely well made on every front, and it’s heavy—nothing fluffy about it at all. Frankly, I’m … More “Unplanned” brings truth to light with grace and love
After the Constitutional Convention that created our nation, Benjamin Franklin famously said we have “A republic, if you can keep it.” A republic is a representative form of government. Democracy is nothing more or less than mob rule—majority wins. The lessons of history teach us that freedom doesn’t survive in a democracy; sooner or later, … More The Electoral College is an Essential Guardian of Liberty
I saw Captain Marvel on opening night, and what I saw was a stunning new origin story—of a new hero, of Nick Fury, and of the MCU as a whole—carrying bold messages of freedom, justice, family and yes, strong women. But I didn’t see a piece of radical feminist propaganda. … More Captain Marvel: Powerful Womanhood, Not Radical Feminism
