Proof guns and high capacity magazines are not the problem

Fetal homicide

Essentially, if a person I nationally causes the death of a fetus they can be charged with murder or manslaughter just as if it had been a post-birth human being.  The only exceptions seem to be if the mother commissions the death … [Read more...]

I told you so: McDonald’s requiring bachelor’s degree for cashiers

Back in December I warned fast food workers seeking to unionize and demand a "living wage" that they were asking for trouble.  If wages and benefits reach the levels which were being demanded, does anyone really think these restaurants will continue to hire the same kinds of people they currently … [Read more...]

Priorities awry

Al Gore has made hundreds of millions of dollars on his global warming nonsense.  Let that sink in.  Hundreds of millions.  And that was before he sold his unwatched television network to a Al-Jazeera, an Arab network funded by oil money netting him $300 million on top of the more than $100 million … [Read more...]

Judge declares Atheists are unreasonable

Atheists are the thin-skinned tattle tales of the legal system.  The mere sight of a cross or the word "God" out in the open sends them into hyperventilation and spasms.  A little while back the American Atheists sued to remove the twisted metal from the World Trade Center which happened to form … [Read more...]

The bill, which adds … [Read more...]

Don’t like assault weapons?

Don't like assault weapons?  Don't buy one.  This is offered as a legitimate retort to pro-lifers who seek to ban abortion... you know, the procedure which takes the life of an innocent child.  So if "don't like abortion? Then don't have one" is a legitimate "argument" for trivializing the pro-life … [Read more...]

What is “Equality”?

Last week social media was thick with this and similar images.  The icon, which is a recoloring of the HRC's ordinary blue field and yellow lines, was donned to show support for "marriage equality".

REPOST: Does Jesus Love LGBT People?

Jesus and love

Someone read me the thoughts of someone with whom they are friends with via social media on the same-sex marriage issue now in the news again.  Essentially this person said Jesus would be fine with same-sex marriage because Jesus was about love and would want us to love and be happy.  OK, that's a … [Read more...]
