New York Magazine asks “Just how pro-choice is America, really?”

A bold article has recently appeared in New York Magazine, which certainly attracts a substantial majority of ultra-liberal pro-choicers.
Jennifer Senior wrote an excellent piece on the subject, and I thought that I would just pass it along.
Four days after the [Stupak amendment] vote, Kate Michelman, the former head of NARAL, and Frances Kissling, the former [...]

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Last night, President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, saying this:
“But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by [Gandhi and King's] examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. [...]

When the tolerant are intolerant…

There has been so much talk of religious intolerance by ultra-left-wing-liberals who espouse that Christians are intolerant. But, sadly, many of these folks just don’t practice what they preach.
Yesterday, perhaps the single greatest symbol of change and tolerance in the United States — Barack Obama — did an amazing thing. He valiantly symbolized [...]

The “Princess Diana” Bible: walking the fine line between clever and stupid

There’s an unknown filmmaker in New Mexico who has come up with an interesting idea to promote his independent film about “two bio-geneticists whose Formula 4708 reverses the whole world’s sexual orientation.”
He is in the process of writing what he calls the “Princess Diana Bible,” so named because of her many “good works.” It [...]

When “anti-racist” means “racist”

I hate to make this post because, as the husband of a woman of Filipino ancestry and as the adoptive father of a boy of Guatemalan ancestry, I want to be ever-cognizant of racist issues in this country that they both (have to) deal with and which, as one who has never experienced any significant [...]

Some definitions…

The words “bigot” and “intolerant” are, admittedly, bandied about quite liberally. This being said, these are also words that are labled upon a person quite correctly, but the bigot and/or intolerant person refuses to acknowledge the label.
To the bigots and intolerants of the world, embrace your labels if any of these definitions apply to [...]

Sad day, again, for the Constitution

Looks like Prop 8 wins, and gay marriage (for the time being) is back to being illegal in California. This issue will most certainly be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court. It will be interesting to see whether that court follows the law, or their emotional reactions to gay marriage.
I wasn’t going [...]

Here is why the U.S. Constitution’s 14th amendment is so important to preserve

Here is what I’m talking about in the previous blog post. Just today, there is a story out of South Korea where the South Korean Supreme Court upheld, by a slim margin, imprisonment for adultery. If you remove adultery/imprisonment and replace gay marriage/constitutional amendment, it reads eerily similar to a story on the [...]

Clarifying the gay marriage issue

I participated in a civil email exchange over the gay marriage issue and my recent blog entry on the subject. I think it is worthy of note, so I am posting my response and the initial questions. In my view, the gay marriage issue need not be religious or partisan political. The issue [...]

According to this future news report, McCain wins and it is my fault!
