The only exception is if the mother … [Read more...]
My experience has led me to the conclusion that abortion advocates and defenders are some of the most intellectually dishonest debaters of any issue. The arguments they make span the spectrum from vile, to wholly uninformed, to downright asinine, and everything in between. The strategy is if they … [Read more...]

Yes, apparently these people do exist, and they will describe spanking a child as assault. Spanking is a horrible practice that that only lazy parents do because you should reason with your children. It's assault and there's no excuse. Anti-spanking advocates make no distinction between a swat … [Read more...]
This is going to sound obvious but, I think for all their similarities, there are vast differences between liberals and conservatives when it comes to dealing with reality.

When those who oppose same-sex marriage said that in affirming same-sex sexual attraction as a natural, immutable, normal variant of human sexuality it would open the door for other sexual variations -- such as pedophilia to claim the same normalcy and therefore, social acceptance they were called … [Read more...]
The tendency for advocates of same-sex marriage to sometimes point to some species in the animal kingdom that engages in same-sex sexual relations has always struck me as suspiciously selective. They offer this observation in an effort to justify homosexual desires and behaviors as a natural -- and … [Read more...]
The up-stir created by Phil Robertson's GQ interview is both good news and disappointing. It's great to see millions of people, including Christians feel called to action in his support.

After the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, the political left in the state moved quickly to enact stricter new gun laws as a response.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Newtown shooting. This will bring an outpouring of people showing their support and remembrance for the tragedy.

The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, was enacted to fill a 'need' to cover pre-existing conditions and provide coverage for even more procedures and conditions. The Act requires insurance companies to cover virtually every medical expense whether you need it or not. This, to me, doesn't sound … [Read more...]
Despite all data to the contrary, climate activists claim the Earth is coming to a slow boil because yucky humans are dirty. Greenpeace UK released a video of Santa in what looks like an interrogation room claiming the North Pole ice is melting...even though it isn't. (DailyMail) -- A chilly … [Read more...]
Despite multiple surveys already being done on the issue (by pollsters more prestigious and reputable than I) of holiday greeting preferences, I conducted a survey of local shoppers for their preference.
