Most of the debates I've participated in have been on Christian college campuses or on secular campuses; so, largely before a student audience.

Scaring the children: for Halloween last night, I dressed as a Democrat and when kids came to my door, I took half of their candy!
-
Obama gets his identity and his ideology from his father.
-
It is understandable but implausible...to insist upon prominent media accounts about law-abiding citizens and quotidian virtue; this is a bit like the airline industry complaining that the press does not write stories about airplanes that land safely.
-
Americans are the friendliest people you will encounter, but they have few friends.
-
For me, victory isn't measured by winning in the traditional sense.
-
They atheists want to control school curricula so they can promote a secular ideology and undermine Christianity.
-
I want to give Michael Moore a run for his money.
-
Black rage is largely a response not to white racism but to black failure.
-
For many people, the reluctance to embrace Christianity is as practical as it is intellectual. They want to know what the benefits of Christianity are, or what's in it for them.
-
I would argue that the issue of God and the issue of science have the same roots.
-
'War on terror' is a misnomer. It would be like calling America's involvement in World War II a 'war on kamikazism.' Terrorism, like kamikazism, is a tactic.
-
American history is the story of Democratic malefactors and Republican heroes.
-
An interesting parallel: MLK was targeted by J. Edgar Hoover, an unsavory character. I was targeted by the equally unsavory B. Hussein Obama.
-
I am attracted to arguments that have a certain plausible originality to them.
-
The ideas that define Western civilization, Nietzsche said, are based on Christianity. Because some of these ideas seem to have taken on a life of their own, we might have the illusion that we can abandon Christianity while retaining them. This illusion, Nietzsche warns us, is just that. Remove Christianity and the ideas fall too.
-
In the end, of course, Republicans ended slavery and permanently outlawed it through the Thirteenth Amendment.
-
As an immigrant, I am constantly surprised by how much I hear racism talked about and how little I actually see it. (Even fewer are the incidents in which I have experienced it directly.)
-
I came to America at the age of 17 as an exchange student, and a year later, I was a student at Dartmouth. I would say that the rather weak foundation of my Christianity was effectively battered at Dartmouth. I've had mostly a secular career. But I became intellectually interested in Christianity again in my mid-30s.
-
If the televangelists are guilty of producing some simple-minded, self-righteous Christians, then the atheist authors are guilty of producing self-congratulatory buffoons like Condell.
-
While posing as the pursuer of thieves, and the restorer of stolen goods, the government is actually the biggest thief of all. In fact, progressives have turned a large body of Americans-basically, Democratic voters-into accessories of theft by convincing them that they are doing something just and moral by picking their fellow citizens' pockets.
-
America is a new kind of society that produces a new kind of human being. That human being-confident, self-reliant, tolerant, generous, future oriented-is a vast improvement over the wretched, servile, fatalistic, and intolerant human being that traditional societies have always produced, and that Islamic societies produce now.
-
This point seems counter-intuitive, given the amount of conspicuous vulgarity, vice, and immorality in America. Indeed some Islamic fundamentalists argue that their regimes are morally superior to the United States because they seek to foster virtue among the citizens.
-
America is the most magnanimous of all imperial powers that have ever existed.
