Does the Bible Require Common Ownership of Land?
Body
“God divided the land by tribe and then by family, and He provided in His law (Leviticus 25) for the perpetuation of family ownership of the land. The justice (right) of people’s having private property … is embodied in the Eighth Commandment, ‘You shall not steal.’”

The Fantasy of the Non-Politician President
Political conservatives in the US may be more deeply divided than at any point in my lifetime. Ugly infighting over who should be the nominee is nothing new. The desire to overturn the status quo by means of a non-conformist, anti-establishment candidate isn’t all that new either.
What seems to be new is a combination of factors:
- Much higher levels of disappointment and frustration with “the establishment”
- Much lower awareness of the weaknesses of populist political thought
- A famously contrarian (to put it nicely) TV celebrity working the populist angle
- High polling numbers for a strikingly long period of time, fueling the feeling of inevitability
It’s probably obvious who I’m talking about, even without looking at the photo.

Palin’s endorsement protects Trump’s tea party, evangelical flanks
Body
“So why Trump and why now? Aside from the headline-grabbing attention this gives the headline-seeking Palin, the endorsement allows Trump to aggressively step up his attacks on Cruz without as much fear that the attacks will boomerang among evangelicals in Iowa and elsewhere.” Dallas Morning News
