This says it all when it comes to pro-abortion logic: The political left is obsessed with rights. But what are rights? What rights do we actually have, and what makes them rights in the first place? Many people blur the lines between what they believe ought to be rights and real inalienable … [Read more...]
I think it's a legitimate question: Who is prevented from voting who wants to and is legally eligible to do so? Even voter ID laws are not as prohibitive as they're portrayed to be.

Not long ago TV counselor Dr. Phil asked a question via Twitter which was quickly deleted: When I first saw it I didn't get the impression that he was implying it was OK to have sex with drunk girls (or that he was asking "for a friend"). I had figured he was trying to gauge public opinion for a … [Read more...]
Pols and activists will always look for a scapegoat on which to blame the actions of an individual. In this case an 8 year-old boy, for whatever reason, shot and killed his elderly caregiver. Who knows, perhaps this is a case where the boy was influenced by the game he was playing. However, this … [Read more...]
We shouldn't be so quick to placate to groups who want to see professional sports teams and their collegiate counter parts change their names from their traditional Native American names and mascots. What they refuse to understand is the name like the Braves, the Seminoles, the Fighting Sioux, et. … [Read more...]

https://twitter.com/MadcapMcQ/status/370591710218182657 It's amazing the difference in portrayal with which the media will treat one individual over another. Will we ever see a day where the 'news' simply reports events without creating a narrative? … [Read more...]
Bradley Manning, the man who divulged classified information to the website Wikilinks, has since disclosed his desire for sex reassignment. You see, Bradley now wants to be referred to as 'Chelsea'. Hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess. But on top of his psychological disorder, he wants the … [Read more...]
I don't see circumcision to be immoral or barbaric. If I were to suppose why people might believe it to be barbaric, I'd say because it's a religious practice. You don't hear much about piercing infant's ears from that crowd, then again you might. But I never do. How disgusted could you be about … [Read more...]
Talking heads on the political right routinely accuse the political left of being fiscally irresponsible. But each side will point to eras in America's political history where it seems the other side is responsible for the financial problems we're in as a nation.

What I mean is we all see the fossil record, the geological record, the … [Read more...]
President Obama’s “Common Core Curriculum” would be amusing if it weren’t preposterous. Common Core Teachers Taught to Praise Wrong Answers Like ’3 x 4 was 11’ Apparently, under the new Common-Core standards, correct answers don’t really matter.

We've been told that with the increased warming (which stopped in the late 90s, which is when the trends begin to fall) we should expect increased extreme weather events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and tropical storms. In reality, we've been seeing downward trends even though levels of CO2 have … [Read more...]
I have always believed that the topic of abortion isn't as complex as some people would like to believe it is. Once we know what it is that's being aborted, we are better equipped to answer whether it should be legal or illegal. Should this procedure be permitted by law? If not, what penalty … [Read more...]
