By Julie Ingersoll

…rs who thinks she’s calling for a return to “our Constitution” while she’s promoting a religious test for public office. I asked if she had actually read the Constitution and she insists that she has, and then asserted that “Obama and his cronies are trying to change everything in it.

When Is Hosni Mubarak?

Egyptians want him gone, and his insistence on sticking around for several more months (and presumably guaranteeing free and fair elections thereafter) is unacceptable. And once more unfortunately our president has missed the opportunity to make history. To assume that the people who have braved injury and death for days now will somehow accept that their dictator of 30 yea…

They might become angry that companies have such power in shaping the public’s perception of Christianity and, indeed, in shaping Christians’ own ideas about their communiti…

…mer athletes of color who had a positive experience with BYU and the Honor Code: “If Darron Smith wasn’t so hell bent on exposing BYU, the Church and the honor code office as racists, he’d find out that for every Thomas Stancil, Tico Pringle and Ray Hudson, there’s a Brandon Davies, Reno Mahe and Brian McDonald, the latter of which recovered from an alcohol-related probation, joined the Church and served a mission to Washington, DC.” Sikahema’s fu…

Was Prof Wrong to Ask Students to Not Thank God?

By Hollis Phelps

…, and in what manner to express or not express these rights. It’s when the code that translates these rights for us somehow ceases to function properly in the background that problems result.
