Why demonize the rich? I think I know why
December 5, 2012 by 89 Comments
The liberal message of tax the rich has been in high gear for the past three to four years, and ramped up significantly over the course of the presidential campaign season. The mantra that the wealthy don't pay enough, let alone their "fair share" is inescapable. Though I'm not one to buy into … [Read more...]
Feigned concern by the Pro-Choice movement
December 5, 2012 by 158 Comments
I can't even begin to count the number of times I have heard a pro-abortion choice advocate justify abortion by offering what almost sounds like a compassionate plea on behalf of the child. "Unwanted children", they say, "often grow up abused and neglected, and that is no life for a child. That's … [Read more...]
Atheists: Uninformed or Obstinate?
December 4, 2012 by 38 Comments
As someone who interacts regularly with skeptics of all stripes, it never ceases to amaze me the number of times I find myself having to "re-educate" them on certain subjects. There seem to be two subjects in particular that skeptics rehash over and again: can Atheists be good without belief in … [Read more...]
Family appalled Easy Bake Ovens marketed to girls
December 3, 2012 by 6 Comments
What have we become when someone believes that because their hyper-sensitivities are offended, a major corporation must change their marketing scheme as to not hurt their feelings? From the Who Do You Think You Are? file comes a little boy who loves to cook. It seems that, among other things, he … [Read more...]
Activism: Same method, different text
December 3, 2012 by 2 Comments
When you trade in confronting controversial topics like I do here, you expect to come across activists defending their issues. It just occurred to me, however, after all this time, that activist's methods of pushing their respective causes are nearly identical, but with a different message. For … [Read more...]
Sunday fun: What have you won?
December 2, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Earlier this week while driving to Chili's for dinner, there was a prompt to call in to a local radio station for a chance to win tickets to see a live show of Yo Gabba Gabba. Immediately my wife jumps on the phone to try her luck. Of course, the line is busy for the first eight attempts due to … [Read more...]
Fun with Twitter: Debating Liberals
December 1, 2012 by 2 Comments
As far back as I can remember, I've always found some joy in annoying smug people. They can be easily found hanging around websites like the Daily Kos, MSNBC, Democratic Underground, Think Progress... seeing a pattern here? I happened across a tweet made by MSNBC, you know the kind: propaganda … [Read more...]
Is our culture becoming more or less moral?
November 30, 2012 by 96 Comments
I think it's probably the norm for one generation to the next to believe the culture is in a state of moral decline. Of course this all depends on your worldview's standard of ethic. Depending on what you view as morally good and morally bad will shape how you view the moral direction of the culture … [Read more...]
It’s official: Democrats and Liberals are Socialists at heart
November 29, 2012 by 12 Comments
For all the protest from Liberals and Democrats that they do not favor socialism, the fine folks at Gallup find otherwise. The results from the latest survey find that the majority of Liberals and Democrats have a favorable view of socialism. Because socialism has worked so well everywhere … [Read more...]
Glenn Beck treats Obama like Jesus, Liberals outraged
November 29, 2012 by 1 Comment
Of course Liberals and Democrats have been fawning over the President as though he were some kind of Messiah. Comedian Jamie Foxx even introduced him as "our lord and savior." Add that to the painting depicting President Obama in like fashion as the crucified Jesus of Nazareth. While it's … [Read more...]

Local atheist outraged over religion in schools
November 27, 2012 by 12 Comments
I don't know if there's something in the water or what. But Atheists, who claim the intellectual high-ground mind you, can't seem to keep a level head when even the semblance of religion squeaks its way into public schools. Whether it's a graduation being held in a church hall, or cheerleaders who … [Read more...]
What do businesses owe you?
November 26, 2012 by 51 Comments
The proposed Wal-Mart workers strike turned out to be a flop, with a minimal number of employees actually participating. I think this failure is actually a good thing. For one, it reassures me that the workers understand that in this economy, walking off a job isn't smart. But secondly, I think … [Read more...]
Why dialogue with activists is impossible: Disagreement = hate
November 25, 2012 by 64 Comments
https://twitter.com/anarchic_teapot/status/272496292456984576 You see, nothing I've written suggests that I believe homosexuals are not human; and it's not just my opinion that suggests same-sex sexual relationships are unhealthy physically and mentally: research and statistics bear this out. … [Read more...]
Is your value tied to others?
November 24, 2012 by 14 Comments
A friend of mine who authors Economics For Morons posed this scenario: Your boss hands out Christmas bonuses. You take yours home and are ecstatic when you realize you've received $10,000. This is more than you've ever received. You contemplate all the things you have needed and are now able to … [Read more...]
Contrived offense
November 23, 2012 by 42 Comments
Whenever I read about Atheists who are offended and repulsed by religious speech and imagery I feel compelled to point out how intolerant and prejudiced that really is. In any other setting, directed at any other demographic, the person offended and repulsed would be called out for their asininity. … [Read more...]
Atheists seem to be growing more pathetic
November 23, 2012 by 18 Comments
It never ceases to amaze me at the things which seem to offend Atheists. Any mention of God, Christianity, or religion seem to set them all aflutter. The newest target is Charlie Brown. Yes, you heard correctly: Charlie Brown. (The Daily Caller) -- Charlie Brown’s Christmas is on the outs at an … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 22, 2012 by 7 Comments
Let's play a guessing game. The first person who can correctly guess who each of the people in this short clip voted for gets a thumbs up! But seriously, I think it's safe to assume they voted Democrat. In fact in my lifetime (no exaggeration) I have never heard a conservative denigrate our … [Read more...]
