Don’t Blame the Boomers for Everything

  • Culture
November 4, 2019November 9, 2019
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Romans 14 and the Political Divisions of the Church

  • Politics
November 12, 2018August 16, 2019
Author: Howard Ahmanson

We live in a time when the classical Protestant church [and, less openly, the Catholics and Orthodox] is often divided over political issues – especially over the character of the current President of the United States.  We have Trumpite churches […]

Trump’s One Moral Conviction: The Deal

  • Politics
September 17, 2018August 16, 2019
Author: Howard Ahmanson

It’s often said that our President, Donald Trump, is a man of no moral convictions – except for those related to his own power and ego.  I would quite agree that he seems to have no religion or philosophy.  But […]

Why Didn’t Harvey Weinstein Get His Face Slapped?

  • Culture
October 31, 2017August 27, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

My wife’s grandmother, who grew up around the turn of the last century, would tell my wife, “Never be afraid to slap ‘em and walk home” in reference to predatory young men.  And evidently such men have existed for a […]

The Deals

  • Politics
October 29, 2017August 27, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

There has been some unhappiness among the ‘base’ about President Trump’s recent agreement which might mean the continuation of Obama’s order protecting the Dreamers, those who were undocumented immigrants as children.  Excuse me. Mr. Trump was known for writing a […]

California’s Trump-like Moment, 22 Years Before Trump: The Adventures of Pete Wilson

  • California
March 22, 2017August 27, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

The United States on the whole has seen a rather sudden pivot, or so it seemed, of ‘conservatism’ from a coalition of religious or moral conservatives, economic conservatives [the latter were split into ever lower taxes fiscal ‘conservatives’, and deficit […]

Michael Lind:  Can You Restrict Immigration Without Alienating Recent Immigrants?

  • Politics
December 6, 2016August 27, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

Opportunities for Positive Testimony

  • Religion
October 24, 2016July 5, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

The candidacy of Donald Trump, and his takeover of the Republican Party, has split the American evangelical world and is, I think, purging it.  But it is creating opportunities for positive testimony as well.  The Daily Beast, far from a […]

The Religious Right Failed to See What Was Coming

  • Culture

Author: Howard Ahmanson
