Impeachment + Truth + Human Need + Jesus

IMPEACHMENT

This should be an election year filled with the proper drama of the ups and downs of the President’s fate, and those who seek to be his successor. The months ahead carry the promise of tracking those developments through the lens of real issues, as the artificial fog of impeachment finally clears. --Mark Davis, Townhall 2/3

In any "stupidest" or "most worthless" contest, America can confidently put its money on the President Donald Trump impeachment mess. What frivolity. What junk. What an irredeemable waste of valuable time.  Bill Murchison, Townhall 2/4

TRUTH

As a society, have we come to a place where truth cannot be tolerated in the face of the prevailing orthodoxy of “tolerance”? Must the most basic biological differences between men and women be denied or whispered in secret? --James Gottry, Townhall 2/3

THE GREATEST HUMAN NEED

After food, the greatest human need and human desire is meaning. Even more so than the ability to reason or even to speak, this is the great divide between human and animal. We share all other needs with the higher animal species and share many needs with some of the lower animal species. Like them, we need food, shelter and companionship. But, while human beings seek and need meaning more than anything except food (and companionship -- but for human beings, companionship usually provides some meaning, and sometimes enough), no animal needs or seeks meaning. As an aside, this is one of the reasons I believe in God, the Creator. There is no evolutionary explanation for the need for meaning. Meaning is not a biological need.  --Dennis Prager, Townhall 2/4

JESUS CAME TO US

In the oldest Christian creed, Christians profess to believe in God the Father and Jesus Christ his only Son “who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.” What humanity has longed for most has happened: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Reaching into time and touching real history, Jesus came to us; he came to the Cross. But it did not master him.  --Jill Carattini, Slice of Infinity
