Department of Peacebuilding

I almost don't even know how to start this.  Democrat Barbra Lee (D-California) has proposed a bill to create a federal Department of Peacebuilding.  And no, I haven't been taken in by the Onion or the Daily Current. (The Hill) -- House Democrats led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) have introduced … [Read more...]

University shocked when Muslim espouses Islam’s view of homosexuals

For all that is accused of Christians and Christianity about their view on homosexuality, the political left and academia almost universally ignore what the religion of peace has to say about it.  In nations run by Muslims with heavy Islamic foundations for their rule of law, homosexuality is … [Read more...]

Perhaps the govt shouldn’t give advice on what’s best to defend one’s self

This man beclowns himself every time he opens his mouth. … [Read more...]

Obama Administration: “Criminal” = “Minority”

Even though most employers ask applicants about their criminal history, I'm not sure how many actually conduct a criminal background check.  As far as I'm concerned, employers ought to be permitted to hire any individual they deem most qualified, and reject any individual they deem unqualified. … [Read more...]

Gays more equal than straights

How does homosexuality affect straight people?  I suppose it all depends on who you ask.  If you ask a military member, the answer might be: significantly.  In the wake of the administration's lift on the ban of openly gay and lesbian men and women serving in the military, the Department of Defense … [Read more...]

Legitimate rapist?

Don't worry ladies, if you think you're about to be raped just use your whistle, a call box, or a safe zone.  You shouldn't be permitted to carry a gun because you don't know if you're about to be a victim of a legitimate rape. Hey, remember when the media and the political Left went nuts when the … [Read more...]

Musings of a low info voter: Some things that should NEVER be “PRIVATIZED” in a Democracy

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Democratic Underground, but it's hilarious!  I swear, if I didn't already know these were real people who actually believe the things they write, you couldn't convince me it wasn't a satire site like the Onion, or the Daily Currant -- you know, the … [Read more...]

Obama’s oil buddies

Anyone with a car knows the financial pain of having to fill their gas tanks.  The cost of gasoline has been rising for what seems to be forever.  I remember when gas prices were high like this some time back when George W. Bush was president.  It was said that the cost of oil and gasoline were … [Read more...]

I am a Constitution Voter?

Living in New England I'm used to being surrounded by those on the opposite end of the political spectrum from myself.  Liberals, more often than Conservatives, like to advertize their liberalism in the form of bumper stickers.  Here's one such self-congratulating Liberal I found while at … [Read more...]

Priorities…

Pew Research releases every so often a poll of what Americans consider priorities for the country. Here's what I would find amusing if it weren't so sad: In the president's first term, his policies weakened the economy, weakened the job situation (for every job created, more than 20 people went on … [Read more...]

If Liberals had their way…

And before anyone wants to challenge the thought that Liberals don't try to condition girls while they're young to become morally numb to abortion, they persistently fight parental notification laws requiring a child's parents know that their daughter is, 1) sexually active and, 2) their daughter is … [Read more...]

So God made a Liberal…

If you find yourself on the Conservative end of the political spectrum, this is pretty amusing.  If not, you'll roll your eyes and probably won't finish watching it, because it won't be funny to you.  Either way, Conservatives: enjoy it.  Liberals: learn to laugh at yourselves once in a while. … [Read more...]

25: The best age for an abortion

Or so says Jezebel: It's impossible to open a magazine or turn on a TV show without hearing someone yammer on about when it's best for women to have babies. Do it too soon, and you'll basically be poor forever and your kid will end up becoming a Florida carnie when he grows up. Wait too long and … [Read more...]

Is opposition to gay Boy Scout leaders discrimination or prudence?

Opposition to gay men serving as Boy Scout leaders shouldn't be as controversial as it has been.  Unfortunately, people have emotional reactions to issues such as this, where they believe a person (or "class" of people) is being discriminated against.  This really isn't about the individual … [Read more...]

Background checks might not be the answer to gun violence

When the gun control debate first manifested and suggestions were being made, I was on board -- hesitantly -- with instituting background checks for firearm purchases.  On its surface it sounds reasonable, right? We should check to see if a potential gun purchaser is a felon (I agree) or has a … [Read more...]

On the road to Utopia

I snapped these photos whilst out and about not long ago.  It really sheds light on the mindset of the person who would re-elect President Obama to a second term given the abysmal conditions with which we find our nation.  Mind you, the bumper stickers have been on this vehicle for at least three … [Read more...]

Abortion and the Second Amendment

Let's discuss one's right to choose.  Of course which side of the political aisle you find yourself on determines which choices you like to exercise.  If I may generalize a bit here, the political Left generally and full-heartedly support unfettered choice when it comes to abortion, but not so much … [Read more...]

Gun Free Zones: Put your money where your mouth is

It seems those of a certain political bent believe in in the effectiveness of "Gun Free Zones".  Well, it's time to put up or shut up.  The White House has received a petition to replace the U.S. Secret Service protection for the President and Vice President with "Gun Free Zones". Heh. (H/T: WZ) … [Read more...]

Ironic anniversary wish for Roe v Wade

Given the fact that Black mothers obtain elective abortions at rates more than double their population representation; and that more than half of all Black pregnancies end in abortion in large cities such as New York; and that abortion clinics are overwhelmingly present in communities which are … [Read more...]

Keep your laws off my body… says the baby

I snapped this photo a while back while at work.  It's a shame that there are so many people who believe the growing baby in the womb doesn't deserve a voice. For those of you who may be new to Sifting Reality, here are some posts I have written on abortion.  I can't recall the point in time … [Read more...]
