A reader writes in, taking issue with Dr. Hurd's contention that forgiving the unforgivable (e.g. snipers, drunk driving) is neither noble nor healthy: Forgiving someone who committed a crime against you after they have served their sentence and you have had time to...
John Kerry keeps talking about young people "giving something back." Exactly what did young people take away and from whom did they take it? What is the factual basis for such an accusation? And why is it so general, applied to the whole population of young people?...
Q: I agree with you that President Bush is a conservative who embodies yesterday's liberals, as exemplified by his massive domestic spending, expansion of Medicare, campaign finance reform, etc. But don't you think this is just his political opportunism at work --...
Is gay marriage a Constitutional, individual right?
Another bumpersticker for you: "The Labor Movement--The People Who Brought You the Weekend." Not quite. Improved working conditions don't happen because a compassionate President signs them into law. If any given law would harm significant sectors of the economy, no...
Q: As you argue, the only proper role of government is to protect our individual rights against fraud and brutality, foreign and domestic. At what point does government intervention "cross the line"? One is not allowed to commit slander (or libel), but what about a...
Q: What do you think of hunting and killing animals? And should it be legal? A: Frankly, I find it rather depraved to hunt and kill animals for the sake of sport.Don't misunderstand. Animals don't have human rights and human beings have a right to kill animals, either...
Q: Clearly, the new Spanish Government [the Socialists, who oppose the U.S. War Against Terrorism] is saying that they will support whatever the United Nations will support (through the majority of countries of this world). If the coming U.N. resolutions are to...
Big-spending President Bush is at it again. His latest bright idea is to spend billions of tax dollars on job training programs. Democrats rage because this is their turf. Bush seeks to out-bid them. Lost in all this silliness are the important questions: What...
When George W. Bush further socializes medical care, he not only harms patients; he also harms the case for capitalism.
"Change is coming to America." So says John Kerry, victorious in his quest for the Democratic nomination and anticipating victory against President Bush this fall. What change, exactly? President Bush expanded the welfare state a bit less than President Kerry would...
I quote from a bumpersticker I recently saw on a car covered (or I should say, littered) with anti-Iraq-war/pro-Howard Dean stickers: "When Jesus said love your enemies, he probably meant: don't kill them." This is undoubtedly true. Loving your enemies is a core...
President Bush, having spent trillions of young people's dollars on the prescription drugs of old people, now wants to throw billions at an expanded space program. Now you won't find a stronger advocate of space travel than myself. Space travel represents human reason...
Q: I have been in an ongoing discussion with a friend regarding belief in a higher, supernatural being. After many conversations, it finally became clear his true reasoning for believing: he believes that humans are essentially base, murderous, thieving, pillaging...
Q: Why do men seem to enjoy viewing women naked (e.g., in photos, real life, etc.) much more than women seem to enjoy looking at naked men? It seems men are much more "turned on" romantically/sexually by the visual aspects of the opposite sex, than the other way...
From The Wall Street Journal: "Republicans are bragging that by giving seniors a vast new entitlement they will sweep to victory in 2004. But the price of that "victory" has those of us who believe in limited government wondering what difference there is between the...
Q: I think Every US citizen is entitled to inexpensive and affordable health care, including preventive care. Dental care should be considered preventive care, too. Show me a Republican who cares that my sister lost a tooth because she lost her job. A: First of all,...
Can we finish our mission in Iraq? Or do we need to withdraw? It all depends on what the meaning of the word "mission" is. If our mission was to remove Saddam Hussein from power, then we're done. If our mission was to remove Saddam Hussein and install an...
In an op-ed, presidential candidate Howard Dean wrote with pride about how his small donation supporters are helping "take back our country." Pat Buchanan used the same expression in his campaign back in 1992. However, Howard Dean is the probable nominee of one of the...
John Hinckley Jr.'s former psychiatrist said the other day that the man who shot President Reagan hasn't shown "any evidence of psychosis in the last 16 years" and should be allowed to visit his parents without supervision. Isn't it relevant that Hinckley showed...
Q: You really are hard on compassionate politicians like Howard Dean and what you call "the welfare state." These programs, like Medicare and Social Security, are in everyone's benefit. Why oppose them? A: These programs are not in my benefit. I work hard and am both...
