Could anyone out there help me find a good source or two on how the Phoenicians / Carthaginians used to offer up their babies to the gods, in such a way as to put them in clay pots of some sort? I lost the reference to the pots that were found, with human baby remains in them, at archeological sites there along the Eastern Mediterranean Coast. Did they offer them up during some big annual Feast, and kill them while praying, or what ? Thanks so much.

Thanks for this essay. And yes, the Spiritual, Christian Roots of Europe were still there under the heel of communism. All anti-Christian regimes will fall, and become the foot stool of Christ. Look at the u.s. of america ! Just like the ancient Syrians and Babylonians, we were used of God to thwart the spread of communism, and now we are self destructing through moral and political corruption, and seeking Caesar as our Savior. He laughs at the wicked ...... Sic Semper Tyrannis ! In Hoc Signo Vinces !

I believe Miss Platt is correct in stating it is unpleasant to know Maobama is imposing a far left agenda. What is more unpleasant is knowing many americans don't know he is following Lenin's and Mao's strategies to the letter. " Three steps forward, two steps back " is one that is working very well.( b/t/w, while Bush the Younger was president Bush said , "Sometimes you must go against capitalism to save it." ) I am sad to say most americans have no clue how much they are willful slaves to the state. I blame christian college professors, mostly, and christian government-run school teachers. These institutions promote atheistic Socialism, and christian instructors are the Useful Idiots working to enslave us generation after gen.

please go to the web site of the CENTER FOR MILITARY READINESS, and find the documents regarding this horrible overturning of our laws in favor of sexual pleasures ..... look closely at how the UCMJ will be gutted to allow adultery, sodomy, retroactive promotions, "diversity metrics" ..... As i have shared here previously, " Whom the gods would destroy, they first make made." Cordially, john

Dear Mr. Bialosky, Thanks so much for posting this travel journal entry. I stayed in Sicilia twice ! Once with my wife for 10 days, then again, on my own for 12 days. Both times I visited my ancestral home towns = Palermo, and Villa Rosa, near the the center of the island. Those towns, and all of Sicilia, are as beautiful as you say. And the locals are so thrilled to learn you are there to visit " my great-grand parents' home towns" ( I used to know how to say it in Italian ) Thanks for posting this. Arrivaderch' !

We had a guest lecturer at Gordon College, Mass., who was a Cantor in a synagog. He told a story of how, while training to be a Cantor, and living in Jerusalem, he circumcised Muslim babies. I can't remember now, (thirty years ...!), but the story had a punch line that made us all laugh. You can imagine. Also, while in the U.S. Army, a young man in my company had the surgeons at Tripler Army Hospital circumcise him because of infections. He had no more problems after that.

Dear Doctor Williams, Thanks for such great insights and writing skills, and promoting liberty. I believe that the reason Republicans can not articulate clear winning principles to confront the Democrats is two fold; one , the Republicans do not believe in a Constitutional, limited civil government, and two, the masses, including most rank and file Republican masses, do not truly want TRUE liberty and property rights - they want the violent arm of the State to be there in some way or another, always, just in case. Never trusting in true self-government, they all together, both the leaders and their sheep, can not call the Dems what they truly are, socialist statist, because at bottom, most americans want the Nanny State. How this has...

I am a recovering cigarette smoker, and do not presume to know how everyone else that struggles with nicotine addiction should deal with it. If I had it my way, i would be allowed to inject Nicotine into my veins as often as it felt it was good, and have no Government Authority telling my what to do with my body. Any no Taxpayers being forced to pick me up out of the gutter when I O.D.'d.
Re: the quote above. When i first moved to the Deep South, from Yankee Land, some guy i worked with spilled his dip-cup on the coffee table one morning at a company meeting. His wife and 3 year old were there too....

I love Dr. Sowell, and share his essays at work often, which most of the leftists at work can't stand. However, i believe Dr. Sowell is incorrect when he writes that Marx did not intend that millions were killed. I have Marx's "Communist Manifesto" in front of me, and it says here, " ...by the 'individual' you mean no other person than the bourgeois,...This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way and made impossible." Strange wording to my ears; but Stalin, Pol Pot, etc., found them very inspiring. What say Ye ?
