Essay Five of Zero-sum Historiography: The Palestinian Assault upon History. Barack Hussein Obama’s relation to Islam This is (at least for the time being) the last of a series of essays on the topic of Muhammad’s teaching about History. This essay is intended to take us to where the rubber hits the road – that is, [...]
The tragic attack on innocent school children in Newton, CT was a horrifying reminder that Rousseau was wrong, Augustine was right, and this is indeed a fallen world. No words can adequately express how cowardly and evil that man was who stalked the halls of an elementary school with a rifle and killed little children [...]

It is not just pro-life activists that lament the fact that the practice of abortion is rampant in Canada. The practice seems virtually limitless thanks to the concomitant promotion of promiscuity and the vested interest in maintaining the status quo. A practice that drew an extraordinary 1 million signatures in opposition in 1975 (at a [...]

While hopeful of a united front within the pro-life camp, I have dismissed an incremental approach that takes the form of gestational legislation. Please note, I do think some incremental approaches should be pursued, but not ones that legally discriminate against persons that fall under an arbitrary limit. But I also suggested that any success [...]

In my last post, I suggested a host of problems with pursuing legislation on ‘gestational limits’. They ranged from the principled objection that it would co-operate in an evil act to the pragmatic objection that it would be a pyrrhic victory that would probably save very few, and would likely neuter the pro-life stance ever [...]

The United Church of Canada, the largest Protestant denomination in the land, has approved several resolutions regarding the situation in what the World Council of Churches – reluctant to let the word “Israel” escape its lips – calls in all its official documents “Occupied Palestine and Israel” or “‘OPI.” Some of these resolutions are rather vague, [...]

In my previous post, I mentioned how pleased I was that the pro-life movement was united around the principle of the sanctity of life from conception. Sadly that does not entail unified action. Its proponents still have to agree on what strategy to take in confronting the systematic attack on life. An agreement on principles [...]

A few weeks ago I was asked by LifeSiteNews for my opinion on the moral validity of pursuing legislation that would set gestational or “upper limits” on abortion. These laws would aim at limiting the number of abortions by forbidding abortion after a certain gestational period, e.g. 20 weeks. [At 20 weeks, it has been [...]

Solzhenitsyn predicted it. In his famous 1978 Commencement Address at Harvard, A World Split Apart, he chose not to pander but to tell the truth that a secularized, left-leaning intellectual elite did not wish to hear. He assessed the spiritual and moral health of the West and found it wanting. He told us that, while [...]

Here at The Bayview Review we aim to champion conservative values and ideas, that’s no secret. We do this for two reasons. First, we think that, in general, conservatives get most things right. That is, our aim is to advance true beliefs and conservatism is what allows for that in the most straightforward way. The [...]
