In 2009, I covered some voting shenanigans by Obama supporters in Ohio. Three individuals were eventually convicted for voting illegally in Ohio (click this link for the posts). In essence, out of state Obama volunteers came to Ohio to get out the vote and vote illegally in the state because…

Unbelievable. Michael Hill posted the following in light of evidence that a League member named Kyle Rogers had an influence on Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof: The League of the South supports our friend and compatriot, Kyle Rogers, of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC), who is being lambasted by…

Through the years, commenters have come and gone and at times the discussion is vigorous. The post with the most comments was a news item on a case regarding President Obama’s birth certificate (remember that?).

The Institute on the Constitution claims to be an educational outreach of Michael Peroutka’s law firm. Miseducational outreach would be a better term.

The Pope’s encyclical on climate change will probably change the conversation among religiously conservative people. Writing on the Biologos website, Katherine Hayhoe and Edwin Maurer argue that religiously conservative Christians should heed and follow the encyclical. Biologos’ press release begins: INTRO: Yesterday saw the release of “Laudato Si’,” an encyclical letter…
