The New Southern Democrats

  • Culture,
  • Politics
December 16, 2020December 16, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Large parts of the African American and Latino elements within the Democratic Party are the most moderate elements within the party, playing the same role as the mostly white Religious Right played within the Republicans.  A surprising new force has […]

The Most ‘Politically Correct’ University in America

  • Culture
September 14, 2020October 23, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Some of the rules adopted in the last few years by secular universities, and even high schools, bear a suspicious resemblance to measures adopted more than 100 years ago by Christian colleges.  All they need now is a ‘doctrinal statement’ […]

Individual Responsibility in Ezekiel

September 11, 2020September 1, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

The heresy of ‘critical theory’ has revived ideas of guilt inherited by, or inherent in, groups, such as genders, races, or economic classes.  The Prophet Ezekiel has some choice things to say about all this.  In our time there is […]

Renting as Borrowing

  • Culture,
  • Economics
September 7, 2020September 1, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Increasingly, the renting of an apartment has become treated more and more like taking out a loan, as if to buy a house or something else.  The same demands of ‘established credit’ are now made.  And I have seen no […]

Guest Post: “An Expanded Vision of ‘Western Heritage’: Why It Matters for Education”

  • Culture
September 3, 2020September 3, 2020
Author: David Green Ahmanson

The solution to the narrow focus of classical liberal arts education is to preserve their time-tested methods, but broaden their subject matter in both geography and time beyond ‘the Western Tradition’ as conventionally understood. In this piece, I summarize thousands […]

More on Christian Faith and Land Use: The Issue of Profiling

  • Culture,
  • Politics,
  • Religion
August 31, 2020January 4, 2021
Author: Howard Ahmanson

The big moral issue behind intentional racism, classism, and the like is the issue of ‘profiling’.  Should we assume that, because of people’s appearance, color, or income, they would be more or less likely to do certain things?  Or be […]

Vigen Guroian on Politics vs. Witness

  • Politics,
  • Religion
August 24, 2020August 24, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Orthodox theologian Vigen Guroian tells us that orthodoxy of community is a better witness than politics.  I agree.  But the Religious Right was originally triggered into politics partly by a fear that they would lose their freedom to function in […]

What My Christian Faith Brings to My Views on Land Use

  • Culture,
  • Politics
August 8, 2020September 18, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

I have attempted to think through the implications of the teaching of the Scripture, and of the Christian faith, for land use and land use law.  One issue for me is that a lot of land use law in our […]

The Police and the Mental Health People

  • Culture
July 20, 2020July 14, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

What is to be done about the police and the police culture?  Some say ‘spend less money on them’.  Some say what we used to call ‘integrate’.  Some say ‘teach them to use nonviolent coercion, like mental health aides’.  But […]

Anti-White Racist Remarks are Tolerated Because of White Privilege

  • Culture
July 14, 2020August 4, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

In which I argue that it is precisely because of ‘white privilege’ that we tolerate a double standard of ‘racist’ remarks about white people from others; because we aren’t ‘hurt’ as much.  Sometimes outspoken women and men, including college professors, […]

Well, in certain circles we’ve had Rook cards for years. Nothing more gender neutral than they. https://notthebee.com/article/in-a-devastating-blow-to-sexism-dutch-woman-creates-gender-neutral-deck-of-cards
