Enjoy life now

Geez, I wish I could, but other people keep getting in the way.  I'd like to do lots of things that others have collectively and arbitrarily decided they don't want me to be able to do. If there is no afterlife, this sign really is right, we should eat, drink, and be merry -- for tomorrow we die. … [Read more...]

Big Mistake: Fast food workers demand $15/hr, full-time, and benefits

Having been inundated with campaign ads decrying the wealthy, who seemingly got their riches at the expense of the poor, low-wage workers are putting their collective foot down.  First it was Walmart employees who threatened to walk out on the retail giant's busiest day of the year, Black Friday. … [Read more...]

Only 7% of Detroit public school students proficient in reading… Teachers too, aparently

It's a good thing the Michigan legislature has passed right-to-work measures for the state's workers.  For decades labor unions have stood watch while the State's school system has been in a constant state of decline.  For all the benefit they boast, labor unions are worth little more that keeping … [Read more...]

Ground Zero Mosque still just a mosque

I believe there is a tendency for a good many people to assume all religions are basically equal, in terms of message anyway. For example, that all religions teach the Golden Rule in one form or another, and that common thread is what defines each religion. The average person is not going to take … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Teacher’s union: the rich urinate on the poor

Despite record unemployment, debt, deficits, and spending President Barack Obama won re-election.  How was this possible?  The answer is simple really.  He was able to convince enough people that the message offered in this video is … [Read more...]

Feigned concern by the Pro-Choice movement

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...]

Family appalled Easy Bake Ovens marketed to girls

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

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...]

Fun with Twitter: Debating Liberals

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...]

It’s official: Democrats and Liberals are Socialists at heart

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

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...]

The woman who objected to being likened to a prostitute, Sandra Fluke, sells herself to highest bidder

Local atheist outraged over religion in schools

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?

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

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...]

Atheists seem to be growing more pathetic

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!

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...]

Obamacare rules released, did you notice?
