Every senseless death is a tragedy. This being said, depending on one's perspective, rationale can be offered as to why one death is more tragic than another. Recent headlines mourn the unfortunate death of Savita Halappanavar, a 31 year-old woman who died apparently because she was denied an … [Read more...]
Let's all play a guessing game. The first person to correctly guess which political party this woman, identified as Lindsey Stone, is affiliated with, wins a thumbs up! But seriously, do we need more than one guess even given our two party system? … [Read more...]
How do you feel about diversity? Is it a good thing? Should it be a goal? I ask these questions because it seems like diversity, which is often times left open as a definition and left even more vague when it is actively sought. The idea of multiple racial, ethnic, gender, and social statuses … [Read more...]
___________________________________ OK, so without doing any research I will presume this video is a parody. However, it does a great job of summarizing the problem with the left's obsession with race and how their visions of social engineering are utter failures. So joke or not, it's spot … [Read more...]
Workers at retail stores such as Wal-Mart are planning a walk-out in protest of being required to work on Thanksgiving. On one hand I can sympathize with the workers who, by and large, want to spend time with their families like everyone else. Their claim is that people shouldn't be kept from … [Read more...]
Not long ago I offered why I believe liberals will never be pro-life. In the post I referenced President Obama's view that babies are punishments, and contraceptive activist Sandra Fluke who called babies barriers to success. Well, recently I was in a debate which was recorded for the … [Read more...]
(Examiner.com) -- One day after endorsing gay marriage proposals in Washington and Maine, President Obama told MTV viewers Friday that he would not be pushing gay marriage in his second term, ABC News reported. According to Obama, "it would be up to future generations of Americans to implement … [Read more...]
Recently Ann Coulter was uninvited to speak at Fordham University after pressure from the University president. This unfortunately, is nothing new. More often than not, when a speaker is protested and shouted from a venue it is a conservative message that is being stifled. It doesn't seem to be … [Read more...]
I love irony in all its forms, even when it's at my expense, but I prefer it's at someone else's. It was visiting another blog where I encountered this post's inspiration. The entire post consisted of but two sentences: "I’ll be out in the world actually volunteering my time to make the word a … [Read more...]
This past election cycle was significant for reasons other than re-electing President Barack Obama. The citizens of four states: Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, and Washington voted on and approved ballot measures legalizing same-sex marriage. In only one other instance has this issue been put to the … [Read more...]
OK, so after some time to let the dust settle and having dismantled the noose from my basement rafters, I think we can see some good news and bad news about the next four years. I certainly don't think the hyper-Conservative outlook of America morphing into a North Korea-esque full on … [Read more...]
Thinking back over the past few months of this year's campaign season, I am amazed at the number of people willing to support President Obama for a second term based on his effort. Much like in my previous post on effort vs. results, there are folks out there willing to re-elect Obama because he … [Read more...]
People used to know what tolerance entailed. It was understood that even though your views were different from someone else's, you still treated them with respect. This view of tolerance has been abandoned for the most part by people who hold what are generally considered liberal views: … [Read more...]
Living in New England I have the unfortunate pleasure of living like many Floridians and Carolinians, in that my area of the country was directly hit by Hurricane Sandy. So far the power has been out since mid-Monday with no real hopes of regaining electricity (which also translates into cable, … [Read more...]
How have we gotten to a place where who actually has the responsibility to raise children has been assigned to someone other than the child's parents? Take a look at a comment from a previous post: My problem with most conservatives is that their position is inconsistent. They are (typically) … [Read more...]
It's no surprise to anyone who follows the platforms of American political parties that nearly universally speaking, Liberals and Democrats are pro-choice when it comes to abortion. But it wasn't until recently that I think I have stumbled upon why that is. We all remember -- well, those of us who … [Read more...]
I am always surprised at some of the terms people plugged into a search engine and found their way to my site. Some I understand, other I couldn't even replicate, let alone dicypher why on Earth search giants like Google or Bing would associate them with me. So Here's a peek into how some of you … [Read more...]
Note: I realize the following commentary may be controversial and seems to be backwards at first blush. So while reading this please try to keep from 'reading between the lines', 'interpreting my views and arguing as though my view and your interpretation are identical', and trying to figure out … [Read more...]
It's rare that I engage in an discussion on the social media site Facebook about abortion, but the other night it was unavoidable. Well, kind of. My personality is such that there are times where my self-imposed restraint is set aside in a situation where I think a clear line must be made. The … [Read more...]
Many on the left hurl criticism at the right for being the party of old white men. And they're right. Blacks aren't just allowed to be in the Republican party. But not because of Republicans or conservatives, that is. No, the reason they aren't allowed is because of Liberals and … [Read more...]
