There was an article in The Washington Times (“AG’s United For Clean Power,” March 29) that caught my interest. It seems that Maine’s Attorney General, Janet Mills, has become involved with a merry band of 16 other liberal meddling attorneys general in threatening legal action and fines against those who offend true believers by calling […]

Where is America going?
I watched a documentary of the 1932 German election this morning (oh, the joys of the semi-retired). Germany’s Weimar Republic was in economic and civic distress: high unemployment, once-great industrial production facilities shut down, currency worthlessly inflated and the shameful pain of a once great country humbled before the world. A government of men drawn […]

Liberal humanism leads to racism
In America, the battle of right versus wrong threatens to resolve itself into a battle between races. I believe I understand the process by which the complexities of the basic contest have resolved themselves into a simplistic struggle between races or cultures. That divisive process has been promoted and supported in the highest levels of […]

L. Hoy: Diversity used as a weapon
Michael Nadeau recently suggested that people “… learn about the value of diversity” (July 8). Diversity as an ideal would appear to be a goal for liberal manipulators of American culture; it is not. Diversity is, instead, a weapon liberals use against American culture. The ideal of diversity once moved this nation to fight a […]

L. Hoy: The diminution of America
I once thought that awarding President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize at the onset of his first term suffered from the committee’s gross presumption and the award’s painfully obvious prematurity. Now I see the award’s timing was its chief virtue: When else could the Nobel Peace Prize have been awarded to a man who’d go […]

L. Hoy: Spineless reaction to evil
Bernadette Meehan, National Security Council spokesperson, said in reaction to the recent butchering of Ethiopian Christians by ISIS in Libya: “While these dehumanizing acts of terror aim to test the world’s resolve — as groups throughout history have — none have the power to vanquish the powerful core of moral decency which binds humanity and […]

L. Hoy: Fault lines separate Americans
In 2008, candidate Barack Obama promised to “transform America.” At the time, I wrote that off as campaign hyperbole of no more substance than spiffy slogans such as “hope and change.” I remember a few pundits trying to draw my attention to that promise to transform America as a dangerous pledge. A true “transformation” requires, […]

L. Hoy: Lies do not create reality
So, Brian Williams confuses the reality he needs for self-aggrandizement with the reality that life gives him. Easy enough to do, given the human species’ propensity to indulge in little spasms of imaginary what-ifs. Trouble is, liberals routinely let slip the line that keeps those dreamscapes safely tethered. Liberals believe that their words – even […]

L. Hoy: Remembering that God rules
I want to write of hope and light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel and unforeseen acts of grace because it’s Christmas and the remembered birth of the Savior brings so much lightness of spirit into my family’s life. In doing so, I share a personal sense of spiritual uplift and connectedness to larger purposes which have less and less relevance, […]

L. Hoy: Choose better information sources
I enjoyed the editorial cartoon in the Sun Journal (Nov. 14), showing Prof. Jonathan Gruber at the “ObamaCare” chalkboard, torturing logic, language and truth on his way to an encounter with the Supreme Court. Looking closely, I can see references to the plethora of leftist political urban legends they’ve crafted for themselves and their minions. […]
