When being hypocritical, try not to be so ironic about it
July 24, 2013 by 2 Comments
I came across the thehotness.com and noticed a little irony I'd like to share. Why doesn't it matter to those who support Trayvon Martin that this case was not about race, nor was his shooting related to race at all? The police, the FBI, Zimmerman's life, and even Trayvon's parents confirm … [Read more...]
Murder and killing
July 22, 2013 by 36 Comments
Due to the degree of disagreement between those who agree and disagree with the not guilty verdict handed down for George Zimmerman, I must ask if people may be using blurred definitions. If you believe Zimmerman should have been found guilty, do you distinguish between killing and murder? I'm … [Read more...]
Freedom From Religion Foundation panics over Holocaust memorial
July 22, 2013 by 8 Comments
The religious bigots at the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) are hyperventilating over the possibility of the Star of David being displayed at a Holocaust memorial at the Ohio state capital. Yes, at a Holocaust museum where 6 million Jews were murdered. (FFRF) -- The Freedom From Religion … [Read more...]

Open Thread — Protests and Looting in the name of Trayvon Martin
July 17, 2013 by 6 Comments
Since the acquittal of George Zimmerman crowds of protesters have taken to the streets to show their disgust with the verdict. Until recently the gatherings have been merely disruptive. However, they are becoming increasingly violent. I predict looting will soon follow. I can't help but think … [Read more...]
The reaction of those wishing for a Guilty verdict for George Zimmerman
July 14, 2013 by 28 Comments
Both during the trial and after the verdict was delivered, the reaction of those hoping for a guilty verdict was universal: The facts of the case were ignored. The only relevant detail being considered seems to be that a grown man shot and killed an unarmed teenager. None of the witness … [Read more...]
Who needs elective abortion after 20 weeks?
July 12, 2013 by 3 Comments
Help me understand the pro-choice objection to prohibiting elective abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy; keeping in mind that 20 weeks is 5 months. Is it that 5 months isn't long enough to decide? Is it that elective abortion should be as unrestricted as possible? Is it something else? Why … [Read more...]
Someone at Planned Parenthood isn’t being honest
July 11, 2013 by 2 Comments
Advocates for and defenders of abortion are usually quick to point out that abortion services represent a mere (approx.) 3% of Planned Parenthood's business. But whenever a new law restricting the unencumbered access to immediate abortion, we hear of dozens of abortion offices closing as a direct … [Read more...]
Misconceptions about abortion
July 10, 2013 by 7 Comments
I want to offer a few thoughts on just one paragraph and one citation from an article from The Slate on abortion. It’s not surprising that we need to look beyond the media gatekeepers for authentic expressions of this range of emotion. When I was an editor at Jezebel, there was a Tumblr that made … [Read more...]
Fuzzy history: Were blacks officially considered 3/5 human?
July 9, 2013 by 80 Comments
Not often, but often enough when discussing slavery or America's treatment of blacks and black slaves, someone will introduce the notion that they once were only considered three-fifths of a person, or similarly three-fifths human. I'll be honest, when I first heard this, it sounded like something … [Read more...]
I agree with @SarahKSilverman
July 8, 2013 by 2 Comments
The no class, mildly amusing "comedian" responded to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker who signed into law a bill requiring mothers who wish to abort to receive an ultrasound beforehand. Let me ignore the fact that abortion advocates and defenders regularly oppose any legislation which requires … [Read more...]
What do we do about the out of control warming?
July 6, 2013 by 24 Comments
A regular commenter to Sifting Reality offered the chart below to show how undeniable global warming is. Apparently they are taken in by what looks to be catastrophic rising temperatures. That they failed to notice the increase over the past 130 years is only about 1 degree Fahrenheit is a little … [Read more...]
Electric cars among the dirtiest modes of transportation study says
July 5, 2013 by 15 Comments
Oops, don't tell multi-hundred-millionaire Al Gore, but the supposed savior of the environment, electric cars, are one of the most dirty forms of transportation when you consider the entire scope of the vehicle. (UPI.com) -- Electric cars, despite their supposed green credentials, are among the … [Read more...]
If you don’t support abortion, you hate America

Memorial built to nothing
July 1, 2013 by 7 Comments
If you ask the Atheists you encounter, many of them will tell you their atheism is a non-belief; that it's not a view. Well, the American Atheists have had a monument approved and erected at a courthouse in Florida. I hope those Atheists who claim atheism is not a view or belief set see the … [Read more...]
Who is proud of Texas Senator Wendy Davis?
June 29, 2013 by 2 Comments
Texas Sen. Wendy Davis spent about 13 hours filibustering a bill which would prohibit elective abortion after 20 weeks and hold abortion facilities accountable for meeting otherwise basic health and safety standards. In that same period of time, 1,796 babies lost their lives at the hands of doctors … [Read more...]
Oregon residents planning funeral for local massacre
June 27, 2013 by 3 Comments
I'm all for conservation. But environmentalists and 'green activists' take conservation to environmentalism, which virtually worships the Earth and the environment -- it should be listed in the DSM. Thousands of bees were found dead after a pesticide was used in Wilsonville, OR. There has been … [Read more...]
