The Lantern Keeper

In a valley cradled by whispering hills, there lived a Lantern Keeper who tended a tower of light.

The Un-American Left – Infused with Marxist ideology

The claim that the Un-American left is infused with Marxist ideology is a contentious one, but I have my reasons for saying so. Influenced by progressive thought, often anti-christian, many of my friends are unknowingly guilty of Marxist ideology.  I suppose they don't see their loyalties as extensions of their political party, just like they …
