By Rick PearceyThis week (and next's), I've been helping out editorially over at CNSNews.com -- editing articles, posting stories and photos, and learning the ins-and-outs of their publishing system.The CNSNews fun plus continued posting at The Pearcey Report and my page at Examiner.com make for a couple of rapid-fire weeks.In a few minutes, I'm off to the "gym" (downstairs at the treadmill!) to make up for lost soccer time.Consider yourself officially invited to check out CNSNews. Lots of great people there doing terrific -- and, I dare say, important -- reportorial work._______________Ric... [read more]

By Rick PearceyBig political news of the day comes via USAToday -- namely, that the GOP "Convention Lifts McCain Over Obama."This headline may be an understatement, for McCain now leads Obama by 54%-44% among "those most likely to vote," according to the results of a post-convention USAToday/Gallup poll.Speaking of bounces, MSNBC has bounced "Incendiary Hosts" Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews "From Anchor Seat," reports the New York Times.Perhaps not unrelated, the political and journalistic landscape has undergone these adjustments since the announcement of Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCai... [read more]
add to discussionBy Rick PearceyI've begun posting as a Breaking News Examiner at Examiner.com, which appears in more than 50 metropolitan areas across the United States.Today's post, the first, is "The Speech Heard Round the World."Gov. Sarah Palin's RNC address blew the rafters off the roof in St. Paul, but what's the response outside the U.S.A.? This inaugural post takes a look.Visitors and comments are welcome._______________Rick Pearcey is editor and publisher of The Pearcey Report (articles).
add to discussionBy Rick PearceyAn Amazon reviewer borrows, reads, and plans to buy Total Truth.He writes:In a postmodern age of conflicting World-views and relegated religious values, Pearcy's [sic] book hits hard with pinpoint accuracy. A diagnosis of modern thought, the history which led to it, and the schism of ideas that we now accept in the public sphere, Total Truth is not just a deconstruction of modern naturalism, it draws a picture of a completed Christian Worldview. I borrowed this book from a friend, but will soon add it to my library. I highly recommend "Total Truth." 75 reviews on Amazon here.... [read more]
add to discussionBy Rick PearceyThis story about John Edwards and a former campaign aide raises the issue of misplaced loyalty.Would you lie, nuance, cheat, steal or otherwise enable your compromised boss, candidate, cause, or trusted ministry leader? _______________Rick Pearcey is editor and publisher of The Pearcey Report (articles).
add to discussionBy Rick PearceyWith Bob Novak's decision to retire, having been diagnosed with a brain tumor, Tim Carney is now editor of the "Evans-Novak Political Report" (see this publisher's note regarding ENPR at Human Events).Both Novak and Carney are journalistic colleagues of mine from my tenure as managing editor of Human Events. ENPR, a sister company with HE in Eagle Publishing, Inc., needed an associate editor, and that became me. Carney came to Human Events as a bright, young reporter, and then later in a separate career move, he began working at ENPR.In today's Examiner, Carney offers a movin... [read more]

add to discussionBy Rick PearceyArchaeological finds like this help remind people that what is given in the Bible is not "religious" in the contemporary sense of the word, in which "faith" and spirituality are privatized self-medicative theories to help individuals, groups, communities, and movements of various stripes advance agendas, gain power, and otherwise cope in a heartless world and indifferent cosmos.Instead what we have is information from the Creator regarding the objective world of fact, reason, history, and evidence.Holistic, Biblical "faith" is primarily a matter of trust, not epistemology.

add to discussionBy Rick PearceyA renowned pastor apparently cares little about the 2008 presidential election because such things have "nothing to do with the kingdom of God." And yet Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor" (Matt. 22: 39).Now, if you "love thy neighbor," do you not also care somewhat about the neighborhood of thy neighbor? It may therefore be a matter of godly and humane concern who is elected President, not just of the "neighborhood," as it were, but also of the country.For if the King of the kingdom of God says "love thy neighbor" is important, and this love includes compassion about the real-wo...

add to discussionBy Rick PearceyIn today's Examiner:As Rush Limbaugh and his estimated 20 million daily listeners celebrate the talk radio titan’s 20th anniversary on the air, Democratic leaders in Congress are moving to turn his mike off.Their weapon is restoration of the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Even folks who would rather have a root canal than listen to Rush’s daily pronouncements should hope they don’t succeed. If they do bring back this bureaucratic relic from the days of Harry Truman, it won’t be just Rush’s voice that will be muted, it will be free and open political debate in general ... [read more]
