Trump hard hat Alabama News
Allen Keller: Recovering our classical heritage

For a long time now, the left has existed in a vague never-world in which its identity stems more from what it’s against than what it’s for: and lately what it’s against is Donald Trump.

Allen Keller: Language revolution and the presidential election

In case you didn’t notice, we’ve been in the middle of a revolution of sorts, a revolution of language and information.

Allen Keller: Our times are in his hands

No matter what happens, God will see us through. For, without a doubt, our times are in his hands.

Alabama political news wheat field Alabama News
Allen Keller: A treatise on fall

For some reason, I took notice of a wheat field on the way to work recently, watched it grow from small, green sprouts to taller, much greener stalks, beginning to fade from pale green to yellow and finally to a shade so golden brown you could almost break them off and eat them like a crust of bread.

Darden School of Business Alabama News
Allen Keller: Business school lessons that explain the response of today's elites

For years the Biden administration allowed illegals to pour through our southern border, claiming to want a solution to the crisis, but doing nothing about it until recently – presumably because polls show that voters want something done about it and there is an election approaching.

Allen Keller: Trading virtue for vice

Democrats have traded virtue for vice, and Republicans, if they play their cards correctly, can come out the winner.  

christian cross Alabama News
Allen Keller: Richard Dawkins and the Death of the West

Christianity has outlasted all temporal societies and is likely to do so still. Put another way, if our way of life is to continue in any way resembling what it has been to this point, we must not cast aside our central, most dominant characteristic.

Harris Alabama News
Allen Keller: Reading the signs in the presidential campaign

There are election phenomena for those willing to see them.

Allen Keller: The West needs more Apollo, less Dionysus

If we live in an Apollonian-Dionysian world, then the Dionysian side is winning, and this isn’t good.

Alabama political news JFK Alabama News
Allen Keller: Mr. President, release the JFK Files

The current president has a chance of preserving things by doing something that should have been done long ago: proving the Justice Department has nothing to hide.

Biden Alabama News
Allen Keller: Swimming naked in a receding tide

My hope is that the Supreme Court’s ruling can turn our standard of justice back to what it always was – to the idea that, until a person is proven by a court to be guilty, then he or she is innocent, instead of the other way round.

Alabama political news george washington Alabama News
Allen Keller: A Father's Day message from the father of our country

The 10 Commandments tell us to honor our fathers and mothers. If it’s beneficial to honor our parents, then it surely must also be so to grant such respect to the father of our nation?

Alabama political news george soros Alabama News
Allen Keller: George Soros and January 6 – why some think the system is rigged

Soros is a nuisance, and it’s an abomination to free thought that he has managed to portray himself otherwise.

Alabama political news soros Alabama News
Allen Keller: Why is George Soros still allowed in this country?

Soros, ethnically of Jewish origin, worked as a courier for the Nazis when Hungary was under German occupation during World War II. His job was to locate fellow Jews for deportation—an act that almost certainly meant execution.

Alabama political news power fist Alabama News
Allen Keller: When all that’s left is relativism, power rules the day

When all that’s left is relativism, power rules the day. At least for now, it seems that this is the world we live in. May it not last forever.    

Alabama political news bill maher Alabama News
Allen Keller: Bill Maher and the decline of the American conscience

The characters in "Blood Meridian" began movement in a certain wrong direction on a moral paradigm, a direction toward which they continued with tragic consequences. It’s a lesson to which we’d do well to adhere in our own time.

Alabama political news biden church Alabama News
Allen Keller: Trading Gospel for government

We are left to believe that modern progressivism is replacing Christianity with a much less substantial system, fraught with scientific failures and political power plays.

genders Alabama News
Allen Keller: Gender, personhood and the dangers of diversity politics

Molly Bowman’s statement that “Gender is a Universe” is proof that, somewhere along the way, the old idea of a unity of personality has given way to the notion that somehow we should be as many different people as possible.

Alabama political news spock logic Alabama News
Allen Keller: The war on logic

It seems logical consistency is in short supply these days.

Alabama political news Taylor Swift Alabama News
Allen Keller: Taylor Swift and the age of paranoia

Much has been made of the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Theories vary, but the basic storyline is that Swift is some form of government asset whose purpose is to persuade football fans to vote for Biden.

Alabama political news dukes hazzard Alabama News
Allen Keller: That's not how I remember it

“The Dukes of Hazzard” just wasn’t how I remembered it. Sure, there were the chase scenes, as well as the beauty of Daisy Duke. But to say the dramatic material was lacking is like calling the criminal Boss Hogg’s morals merely questionable.

Bama Football Alabama News
Allen Keller: Let the big dog eat

Once again, Bama fans find themselves in the unknown circumstances present in Athens back in 1985.

Food Disinterest Alabama News
Allen Keller: Finding meaning in our hearts

We seem a people steeped in traditions that we no longer really understand. We go through mere motions (just as I was when eating without tasting) without sensing our activity’s true essence.

Migrants Alabama News
Allen Keller: Cultural insanity and the U.S. southern border

How far are we willing to go to prove that up isn’t down, that water is wet or air is dry, that abiding the law is better than breaking it?   

Lennon Alabama News
Allen Keller: John Lennon and the lure of the East

Thanks in part to John Lennon, New Age ideas have made advances in our culture. But we should beware of the entire story, especially if we’re to resist the lure of the East.

Poets Corner Alabama News
Allen Keller: Greetings from England, land of the Eternal Word

Whereas, France may be a kind of living museum when it comes to art and other elements of culture, nothing can compare to the Brits when it comes to the written word.

Donald Trump Alabama News
Allen Keller: Was it worth it?

It was roughly seven years ago that events began which arguably got us where we are today: a kind of geo-political crossroads some have even labeled with those terrible three words, “World War III.”
