ThinkProgress blasts Fox News for lack of diversity
May 18, 2013 by 3 Comments
You have to hand it to ThinkProgress for diverting its readers attention away from statistics which actually mean something. For example, this is what they think is relevant: However, I think this one is more telling (and more important): … [Read more...]
1984: Book discussion
May 17, 2013 by 4 Comments
Not long ago I finished reading George Orwell's two classics, Animal Farm and 1984, for the first time. I knew their basic plots but had never read them for myself. I'd like to get a discussion going about 1984 because that, in my opinion, was the more powerful of the two. This was the first novel … [Read more...]
Poverty: A learned and tolerated comfort
May 17, 2013 by 100 Comments
Admittedly many of my opinions are controversial. When it comes to my views on poverty and the poor, I tend to come across as heartless. Perhaps it is my ability to remove my emotions from situations and look at the principles behind the ideas. Or maybe I simply refuse to view the adult poor as … [Read more...]

Intentionally misleading chart of the day
May 16, 2013 by 4 Comments
Is this true? Can you be fired just for being gay in these states? The answer is yes but it requires some qualification. It's because sexual orientation is not considered a protected class in these states. A member of a protected class cannot be fired merely because they possess the traits of … [Read more...]
When confronted with a choice, abortion Doc chooses life
May 15, 2013 by 1 Comment
Abortion "doctor" Kermit Gosnell was recently found guilty by a jury of his moral superiors earlier this week on three counts of murder. It is highly unfortunate that hundreds of his victims are unknown and will not see justice for their own deaths, but this is still shows that some pro-abortion … [Read more...]
Fairness and Equality
May 14, 2013 by 17 Comments
Many people won't make a tangible distinction between equality and fairness. I think this is because of a flawed idea of what fairness entails. For instance, I don't think fairness is the same as being treated equally. Equality ensures everyone has the same opportunities. Fairness entails getting … [Read more...]
Kermit Gosnell and the reality of abortion
May 13, 2013 by 3 Comments
As far as what Kermit Gosnell did and what abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood do, there is little difference. In fact, the only actual difference is the size of the body parts. Does that really make "routine" elective abortion morally acceptable and what Gosnell did morbid? … [Read more...]

Q: If God healed amputees would you believe? A: Probably not
May 10, 2013 by 9 Comments
This common objection among internet Atheists goes something like this: Does God just not care about amputees? If God existed He would heal amputees, or even one amputee. None are healed, therefore God most likely doesn't exist. If only God would heal an amputee (in a scientific lab, on video, in … [Read more...]
Thought experiment: Am I being discriminated against?
May 10, 2013 by 8 Comments
Same-sex marriage advocates routinely frame the debate in terms of rights deprivation. It is argued that by disallowing same-sex marriage that you are somehow discriminating against homosexuals. I reject this notion because it misunderstands what equal treatment actually means. So let me present … [Read more...]

The intellectual high ground: The other day someone asked me seriously what I believe in. I've always been very critical of all religions and never taken them serious even when I was a kid forced to go to church. So I'm opening this up for all of you.

58% of the public unfamiliar with the differences between Islam and other religions
May 8, 2013 by 3 Comments
I'm uncertain if the public has been so saturated with the politically correct version of Islam, or if they are simply unfamiliar with the "Religion of Peace's" calls to violence that other religions lack. Now, it's not that all Muslims are terrorists mind you; just that virtually all terrorists … [Read more...]
God’s plans
May 8, 2013 by 8 Comments
I recall back to a bible study I attended a few years back where the topic of providence, or God's active planning and action in our lives arose. I don't discount the idea that God does have plans and does act on them, but I'm always hesitant to assign any particular event to divine intervention. … [Read more...]
Gay Rights: A logical appeal — A response
May 7, 2013 by 15 Comments
In a previous post Atticus, a guest poster to this site, argued in favor of same-sex marriage as it relates to property rights. This is my response. Atticus begins: Marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. That’s what the law tells us. So what about two individuals of the same sex? Why … [Read more...]

The marginalization of Christianity and Christians in public schools has been gaining acceptance over the years. The blame can be laid squarely at the feet of Christians who somehow got the idea that they shouldn't involve themselves in the public or political arena. Now they are fighting an … [Read more...]

https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/statuses/330706425175224321 The truth is, Dan Savage and those who stand by him know they're hypocrites, they just believe it's justified. It's justified because the targets of the Political Left are legitimate targets in their eyes. Here we have Savage … [Read more...]
