CHAMPIONS OF FREEDOM: Reza Pahlavi and Donald J. Trump
/in Commentary, DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Amil Imani Why should we support Reza Pahlavi? Because the Iranian people support him.

Puppets and Puppeteers
/in Commentary, DrRichSwier.com, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Amil Imani The human mind is a battleground of contending forces where the two most potent are reason and emotion: where reason assesses the life and produces measures that are adaptive to the best of its ability, while emotion, by and large, operates on feelings.

America: Willful Blindness
/in Commentary, DrRichSwier.com, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Amil Imani It is hard to believe how quickly we’ve forgotten the most significant terrorist attack on American soil. So, let me remind our readers once again. On September 11, 2001, nineteen Islamic terrorists, primarily Saudi Arabian citizens, hijacked four commercial aircraft. In a synchronized attack, the hijackers deliberately flew two planes into the […]
The Synodal Church of “Me, Myself, and I”
/in DrRichSwier.com, Politics, Religion, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy The Catholic Thing Fr. Gerald E. Murray: A Church in which each person recognizes himself in his personally curated set of beliefs, may promise satisfaction. But it’s a make-believe, delusional religion of self-worship.

Justifying ‘Islamophobia’
/in Commentary, DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Amil Imani All phobias are, by definition, irrational fears.

The emotion of fear, when utilized rationally, is of immense value. The critical point is that the person, as well as the […]
Onward, Christian Soldiers
/in DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Jerry Newcombe America is going to Hades in a handbasket. A large portion of Americans agree we’re headed in the wrong direction.

Selective Outrage in Response to Antisemitism
/in DrRichSwier.com, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Matthew Hausman, J.D.

The Devil, You Say
/in DrRichSwier.com, Healthcare, Politics, Religion /by DrRichSwier.comBy Dr. Rich Swier Francis X. Maier: Nefarious is a film about demonic possession, a subject that often spells cinematic disaster.

One of the delights – if that’s the right word – of the recent film Nefarious is the bone-headedness of its […]

/in DrRichSwier.com, Elections, Politics, Religion, Science /by DrRichSwier.comBy Jihad Watch The breakdown of the Leftist/Islamic alliance was inevitable, and it was also inevitable that Leftists would get the worst of it, as Iran’s Communist Tudeh party did when it backed the Ayatollah Khomeini, only to have him throw members of the party into prison once he attained power.
