Test your News IQ
September 9, 2013 by 5 Comments
Every so often Pew Research releases a News IQ quiz to see how much you know about recent current events. It's fun to see what you know and what you think you know. I missed 1 of 13 (question 8). … [Read more...]
NALT Christians (The Bible and Homosexuality)
September 6, 2013 by 74 Comments
It doesn't really surprise me that there would arise a movement in the professing Christian community who would side with anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-Bible activists. How should we interpret a professing Christian organization who would align themselves with someone like LGBT activist Dan … [Read more...]
Bush, Obama, Iraq, and Syria
September 5, 2013 by 12 Comments
In what way is President Barack Obama's approach and plan for action in Syria different from President George W. Bush's approach and plan for action in Iraq, morally speaking? Or is there no difference? … [Read more...]
Divorce
September 4, 2013 by 8 Comments
What does the divorce rate in America say about how people view marriage? Has the concept, nay, the institution of marriage lost its meaning? I don't ask this as a conceptual question either. What is marriage supposed to be? Most people go into it believing the first time is the only time, but … [Read more...]
Special diets for inmates
September 4, 2013 by 5 Comments
I have always asserted that America's prison population is over and above other similar nations for a few reasons. One of which is that prison is not uncomfortable enough for the prisoners. Internet access, television, access to higher education at the taxpayer's expense, etc. Don't get me wrong, … [Read more...]
Christian persecution in America
September 3, 2013 by 49 Comments
I can see why some Christians might believe they are being persecuted in America, but I think it's a bit too soon to make that claim. Of course there is a big push from homosexual activists (not to be confused with the average homosexual person) and secularists to purge visual Christianity from the … [Read more...]
Are Blacks treated less fair than Whites?
September 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
A Pew Research survey polled people asked people whether they believed Blacks are treated less fair than Whites. Apparently most people believe they are. I am prone to believe there are more isolated anecdotal incidents than wholesale unfairness. But even in many of the cases, I don't think it's … [Read more...]
72% of Democrats, 83% of non-whites support suppressing the minority vote
August 31, 2013 by 3 Comments
For those on the political left, voter ID laws are a somewhat contentious subject. The vocal liberals insist they are an attempt to suppress the minority vote. For some reason it goes unnoticed that this implies minorities are either unable to figure out how to obtain a photo identification, or … [Read more...]
The irony of abortion rights
August 29, 2013 by 12 Comments
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...]
Trending now: #LetMyPeopleVote
August 28, 2013 by 4 Comments
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. The political left suggests minorities have a more difficult time obtaining proper identification. Why is that? Is … [Read more...]
Double standards for men and women: drunk sex and domestic violence
August 28, 2013 by 38 Comments
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...]
Causation vs Correlation: Violence and violent video games
August 27, 2013 by 2 Comments
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...]
Renaming the Washington Redskins, and the rest
August 26, 2013 by 1 Comment
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...]

From the children at Democratic Underground: The Cato Institute recently ran the numbers and found out that, yes, in fact the poor are getting the middle class' (and the rich's) money to the tune of 3 times minimum wage in some cases (a summary can be found in THIS POST).

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...]
Dude looks like a lady: Traitor Bradley Manning wants to be ‘Chelsea’
August 23, 2013 by 70 Comments
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...]
Circumcision and abortion
August 22, 2013 by 14 Comments
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...]
