10 Qualities Your Future Wife Must Have
  16 May 2013     3:26 am

by Levi Fox
All the single ladies. Listen up. We men inevitably come to that point in our lives when we have to make those milestone decisions—where to apply for college, what to study, where to live, where to invest our money, etc. We carefully plan and strategize these choices, because they affect the outcome of our future career, finances and overall direction of our lives. But, perhaps, for the most important decision we will make, we men take very little time to develop any “rules” beforehand.

We were created to love. It is natural. …

10 Qualities Your Future Husband Must Have
  8 Apr 2013     2:03 pm

by Anna Maria Hoffman
In today’s society, young, decent men are rare to find. This problem has become so serious that A.J. Kieling even wrote a book about it called Where Have All the Good Men Gone? in 2008. 
When we think of young men today, we think of metrosexual, hipster, and unmanly guys who can’t bait a hook, skin a buck, and dress like rugged men. It seems as though manly men are a symbol of the past and now are officially gone.Ladies, yes, there are unfortunately fewer young men who qualify as marriage material today. However, decent …

Exodus 2013: Helping Workers Escape Abortion Clinics
  8 Apr 2013     4:00 am

by Caleb Parke

Today is National “Leave the Abortion Industry” Day.In the last 40 years, our nation has lost 56 million of our brothers and sisters to legal abortions. Our generation is missing precious lives that could have been saved. Enough is enough. We can no longer ignore abortion and the unbearable pain that it causes-to the mother, the father and the emptiness left after the baby’s life is taken.

Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Starbucks!
  25 Mar 2013     1:06 pm

by Anna Maria Hoffman
At Starbucks’ annual meeting, CEO Howard Schultz told shareholder Tom Strobhar that he should stop buying shares in the corporation because he does not support “marriage equality.” (Wait a second, when did it change from “gay marriage” or “same-sex marriage”?)
After Mr. Strobhar noted that Starbucks’ sales and earnings plummeted after National Organization for Marriage announced its “Dump Starbucks” boycott, CEO Schultz said (click on link to watch the video).
Thankfully, this is not Mr. Strobhar’s only instance of standing up for marriage. He actively advocates for its protection …

Film of the Week: To Save a Life
  26 Feb 2013     12:00 am

by Johnny Whichard
Introduction:  
Very rarely does a teen-Christian film achieve spreading its messages while not coming across as “preachy.” To Save a Life is an excellent example of how a film can trap its audience by appearing secular and contemporary while conveying strong messages and keeping the audience on the edge of its seat.Released in 2009, To Save a Life surprisingly profited in the box office, grossing $3.7 million dollars (a tremendous profit from a $500,000 budget), and was slaughtered by critics for being preachy, predictable and featuring some sub-par acting (Metacritic calculates a 19/100). As …

Oscar Intrigues: Entertainment, Politics, and “The Perfect Companion”
  25 Feb 2013     6:32 pm

by Tyler O’Neil
Last night, Americans saw a real treat. The Academy presented the Oscars, and not every movie-goer was satisfied with the awards, but there was something for everyone in last night’s festivities.
The audience–in person and across the airwaves–got to see more than fashion last night. Thrills included a star performance by Adele, whose “Skyfall” won best original song, “One More Day,” an all-encompassing number from Les Miserables, sung in person by all the major characters, and even a cameo from the First Lady, Michelle Obama.While Michelle announced the winner for …

It Gets Worse, with Dan Savage
  22 Feb 2013     3:20 am

Dan Savage, an anti-bullying activist, has once again been caught red-handed bullying people who do not subscribe to his agenda. This week, he crossposted my vlog, “Why Did It Become Hateful to Support Marriage?”, to his wonderful, sexually explicit, and tolerant blog called Slog.
He not only charmingly called me a “dingbat,” but also did not understand the point of my video: to stop the hateful rhetoric thrown at people who want to restore a culture of marriage.
He also gave me more compliments in another Slog post, which featured some of my tweets.
Yesterday, he and I …

Valentine’s Day is For Couples, Not “Sex Workers”
  15 Feb 2013     7:12 pm

by Tyler O’Neil
On the fifth day of Sex Week my true love gave to me – something much more scandalous than 5 golden rings. Today, at the University of Chicago, students can choose between 13 panels, including “Anal 101,” “Sex Work 101,” and “Consent for All Flavors.”
At 6 PM, 4 “sex workers” will speak on “street work, escorting, webcam, porn, and more.” When Obama promised more jobs with a “living wage,” I wonder if this is what he meant. I know we have a tough jobs market right now, but do we really want …

Why Did It Become Hateful to Support Marriage? (Video)
  15 Feb 2013     3:34 am

Anna Maria Hoffman explains why it’s ridiculous that people should be labeled with words like “hateful,” “homophobic,” “heteronormative,” and “bigot” for wanting to restore a culture of marriage in society.

Statism: Obama’s Real Version of Fatherhood
  13 Feb 2013     6:31 pm

by Tyler O’Neil
Last night, President Obama made a bold defense of fatherhood in his State of the Union address. “What makes you a man isn’t the ability to conceive a child,” he said, “it’s the courage to raise one.”
This piquant comment spiced up the worn out menu of an unappetizing first term. The president who will fix the economy “without increasing the deficit by a dime,” and provide a middle class income by upping the minimum wage to 9 bucks an hour also plans to keep investing in green energy (Solyndra), …

Happy Birthday Sarah-Five Lessons I’ve Learned from Palin
  12 Feb 2013     8:42 pm

by Caleb Parke
It was one year ago, today, that Palin celebrated her birthday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by delivering a rockstar speech, which you can watch here. I had the honor of being there and Palin signed my resume. (A sign of good things to come?)

Today, we celebrate the birthday and living legacy of the former governor of Alaska. She has re-energized the conservative movement and inspired many young conservatives, like myself, to stand up and speak out in order to restore American Exceptionalism.
As those in the old Lamestream media continue to write her off (again), they ignore the …

A Defiant Dance of Power AND Sex
  12 Feb 2013     8:36 pm

by Andrew Collins
What did you see onstage at the Super Bowl halftime show? According to Patheos.com blogger David Henson, if you saw “a singer wearing too little clothes,” or “a singer selling sex to the masses in a skimpy outfit,” or “an offensive, inappropriate hypersexual display of legs and barely covered unmentionables,” then you didn’t see what was really happening onstage.
The lead-in is provocative and effective, and it helped his article rack up more than 60,000 Facebook hits in just a few days. Clearly he tapped into something that resonated with people, yet he …

Machine Gun Preacher: A Surprising and Gritty Message for All
  12 Feb 2013     8:27 pm

by Johnny Whichard 

Introduction:
My roommate and I are both movie-nuts.  At least once a week, we’ll make a bag of popcorn, enjoy a beer and watch a film. As a film major, I have seen hundreds (if not thousands) of films and I generally find my roommate’s fascination with sci-fi flicks hysterical. One night, however, he suggested the bizarrely named Machine Gun Preacher. I’ve been trying to pick my jaw back up off the floor ever since.
The film came out in 2011 and earned mixed-poor reviews from critics (Metacritic compiled a 43/100 score). …
