I’m scheduled to be interviewed at 5:05 p.m. EST today on Word FM.

Today’s Christian Woman posted my 2003 testimony article on the home page, and a show host read it. I’ll talk about that and, most likely, some hot news item.

Update: Unrelated to this post is a must-read article by Victor Davis Hanson, “Losing the Enlightenment.” (via Memeorandum) It begins:

Our current crisis is not yet a catastrophe, but a real loss of confidence of the spirit. The hard-won effort of the Western Enlightenment of some 2,500 years that, along with Judeo-Christian benevolence, is the foundation of our material progress, common decency, and scientific excellence, is at risk in this new millennium.

But our newest foes of Reason are not the enraged Athenian democrats who tried and executed Socrates. And they are not the Christian zealots of the medieval church who persecuted philosophers of heliocentricity. Nor are they Nazis who burned books and turned Western science against its own to murder millions en masse.

No, the culprits are now more often us. In the most affluent, and leisured age in the history of Western civilization–never more powerful in its military reach, never more prosperous in our material bounty–we have become complacent, and then scared of the most recent face of barbarism from the primordial extremists of the Middle East.

Take the time to read the entire article. I feel an essay-post of my own coming on.

Also see “Sharia law is spreading as authority wanes.”

Think it can’t happen here? I hope most Americans are willing to defend against this with force, if necessary. I know I am…
