It is an error of the highest order to assume morality has nothing to do with economics. The stewardship of resources, seemingly spiritually devoid things like monetary policy, and the economic indicator called inflation are directly tied to our moral decisions as a nation and as individuals. For those of religious faith, as many here...
Hay una gran zona de pastos abiertos antes de Tarheels. Es el futuro. Mientras nosotros, el pueblo de Carolina del Norte, nos enfrentamos al terreno inexplorado un año más, es crucial ejercer conciencia situacional, un concepto profundamente arraigado en la estrategia militar. Este año es particularmente significativo para nuestro estado, con elecciones de gobernador, decisiones...
There is a great open pasture land before Tarheels. It is the future. As we, the people of North Carolina, stand before the uncharted terrain of another year, it is crucial to exercise situational awareness, a concept deeply ingrained in military strategy. This year is particularly significant for our state, with governor elections, crucial legislative...
¿Cómo nos lo perdimos? Sin embargo, ha sucedido. Nos instamos mutuamente a “¡Nunca olvidar!” Pero ¿alguna vez realmente pensamos que podríamos ser tan insensibles, tan relajados con la verdad que daría paso a lo que estamos presenciando? Turbas de extrema izquierda se manifiestan a favor de los asesinos de Hamas y contra Israel en universidades...
How did we miss it? Yet it has happened. We urged each other to “Never forget!” But did we ever really think we could be so callous, so loose with the truth that it would give way to what we are witnessing? Far-left mobs rally in favor of the Hamas murderers and against Israel on campuses...
La revelación de una inhumanidad bárbara puede traer una epifanía de una realidad brutal. Y no lo digo retóricamente. La gente que grita “Muerte a Israel” y “Muerte a Estados Unidos” lo dice en serio. Lo entendemos. La pregunta en la mente de muchos habitantes de Carolina del Norte es: “¿Lo entienden nuestros representantes en...
The revelation of barbaric inhumanity can bring an epiphany of brutal reality. And I don’t mean that rhetorically. The people who are chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” mean it. We get it. The question in the minds of many North Carolinians is “Do our representatives in Washington, DC get it?” Do they...
“Chaplain, can we talk?” The sergeant caught me as I was nursing my second coffee of the morning on my way to my office. “Sure thing, Sergeant.” I saw a look on my colleague’s face that seemed out of the ordinary. I would guess from experience that this was not about the usual reasons soldiers...
Sailing in Carolina in the summer: nothing like it in the world. But I’m not talking about a sense of freedom one enjoys in the salty sea air. I’m talking about liberty, which one is endowed with by Almighty God. There is a strong current of freedom moving through the Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal plains...
The Old Well at Chapel Hill is an icon of higher education in our Old North State — indeed, in the nation. As an alumnus, I admit to feeling proud of our distinction as America’s oldest public university. However, the corrosive effects of an acid rain of democratic socialism and Marxist ideology from the ominous...
It turns out that the late communications scholar, Dr. Neil Postman, was spot on: We are entertaining ourselves to death. Lest you anticipate yet another conservative op-ed article bashing “the other side,” worry not — and, please, keep reading. I actually think it’s a matter of survival. Like the rest of our citizenry, we who...
There is no higher camaraderie than reconciled brothers. There is no lower connivance than reconciliation revoked. Yet, memorials, naming events, and great halls of learning erected by generations past to seek reconciliation among brothers formerly entangled in war are being systematically destroyed. Reading Scripture, the better word may be “desecrated,” for we read, “Remove not...
