Here in New England we were just hit hard by one of the worst blizzards in recent history. At my home I registered 34 inches on flat windless ground. Drifts were nearly four and a half feet tall, and the sides of my driveway are now guarded by walls of snow taller than six feet. A friend of mine, … [Read more...]
If Liberals had their way…
February 9, 2013 by 20 Comments
And before anyone wants to challenge the thought that Liberals don't try to condition girls while they're young to become morally numb to abortion, they persistently fight parental notification laws requiring a child's parents know that their daughter is, 1) sexually active and, 2) their daughter is … [Read more...]
So God made a Liberal…
February 8, 2013 by 24 Comments
If you find yourself on the Conservative end of the political spectrum, this is pretty amusing. If not, you'll roll your eyes and probably won't finish watching it, because it won't be funny to you. Either way, Conservatives: enjoy it. Liberals: learn to laugh at yourselves once in a while. … [Read more...]
Proud Democrat indeed…
February 7, 2013 by 7 Comments
I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this is someone posing as a "Proud Democrat". Of course it would be easier to give that benefit if I didn't know people (not necessarily Democrats) who were this... let's just say, special. Either way, this person cancels out someone's … [Read more...]
Is opposition to gay Boy Scout leaders discrimination or prudence?
February 7, 2013 by 22 Comments
Opposition to gay men serving as Boy Scout leaders shouldn't be as controversial as it has been. Unfortunately, people have emotional reactions to issues such as this, where they believe a person (or "class" of people) is being discriminated against. This really isn't about the individual … [Read more...]
Background checks might not be the answer to gun violence
February 6, 2013 by 21 Comments
When the gun control debate first manifested and suggestions were being made, I was on board -- hesitantly -- with instituting background checks for firearm purchases. On its surface it sounds reasonable, right? We should check to see if a potential gun purchaser is a felon (I agree) or has a … [Read more...]
Superbowl commercialism
February 5, 2013 by Leave a Comment
A lot has been said about Dodge's poignant "Farmer" and Budweiser's heartwarming "Clydesdale" commercials during this year's Superbowl. Sure, they were pretty good. However, the blue ribbon of this year's game was Oreo's Library. … [Read more...]
On the road to Utopia
February 1, 2013 by 11 Comments
I snapped these photos whilst out and about not long ago. It really sheds light on the mindset of the person who would re-elect President Obama to a second term given the abysmal conditions with which we find our nation. Mind you, the bumper stickers have been on this vehicle for at least three … [Read more...]
Abortion and the Second Amendment
January 31, 2013 by 71 Comments
Let's discuss one's right to choose. Of course which side of the political aisle you find yourself on determines which choices you like to exercise. If I may generalize a bit here, the political Left generally and full-heartedly support unfettered choice when it comes to abortion, but not so much … [Read more...]
Gun Free Zones: Put your money where your mouth is
January 29, 2013 by 10 Comments
It seems those of a certain political bent believe in in the effectiveness of "Gun Free Zones". Well, it's time to put up or shut up. The White House has received a petition to replace the U.S. Secret Service protection for the President and Vice President with "Gun Free Zones". Heh. (H/T: WZ) … [Read more...]
Standards will be lowered for women in combat
January 29, 2013 by 7 Comments
As of now, military officials are assuring the public that the physical and agility standards will not be lowered for women who might serve in combat. My first instinct is to believe that is the intention, a good intention, but one which will not last. You can be assured that the standards are … [Read more...]
This is what you voted for
January 25, 2013 by 4 Comments
It goes without saying that I still am flabbergasted that President Obama won re-election despite his shoddy handling of the economy. But here's a look at just how shoddy he he's been. This is what you voted for. 1 “Long-term unemployed” means for over 26 weeks; data for January 2009 and … [Read more...]
Polls showing Liberals are irreligious misleading
January 25, 2013 by 8 Comments
Nearly a quarter of registered Democrats identify as having no religious affiliation. The no affiliation group is comprised of Atheists, Agnostics, and those who are religious but choose not to align themselves with a particular denomination or organized religion. Often, Democrats are accused of … [Read more...]
U.S. military women headed to front lines
January 24, 2013 by 21 Comments
The ban on women serving on the front lines in combat is on its way to be lifted. (Fox News) -- Women in all branches of the military soon will have unprecedented opportunities to serve on the front lines of the nation's wars. Leon Panetta, in one of his last acts as President Obama's defense … [Read more...]
Ironic anniversary wish for Roe v Wade
January 22, 2013 by 30 Comments
Given the fact that Black mothers obtain elective abortions at rates more than double their population representation; and that more than half of all Black pregnancies end in abortion in large cities such as New York; and that abortion clinics are overwhelmingly present in communities which are … [Read more...]
Keep your laws off my body… says the baby
January 22, 2013 by 2 Comments
I snapped this photo a while back while at work. It's a shame that there are so many people who believe the growing baby in the womb doesn't deserve a voice. For those of you who may be new to Sifting Reality, here are some posts I have written on abortion. I can't recall the point in time … [Read more...]
President Obama delivers stunning pro-life address
January 21, 2013 by 2 Comments
This Youtube video laying President Barack Obama's words on the Newtown shooting as the background to a Pro-Life message is quite poignant. It never ceases to amaze me how the president and those of his pro-abortion ilk can speak in this fashion about children outside the womb, and yet so heartless … [Read more...]
Men shouldn’t comment on abortion?
January 18, 2013 by 21 Comments
From Nuking Politics: When confronted with the nonsensical argument that I should not be allowed to comment on abortion because I don't have a uterus, I like to respond, "Unless you've been an unwanted, unplanned fetus, YOU have no right to comment on abortion." I still remember the first time … [Read more...]
Why might someone doubt climate change is man-caused?
January 18, 2013 by 42 Comments
Is the science settled? Or are there real reasons one might doubt the settledness of the Green™ movement? The debate about climate change and its impact on polar bears has intensified with the release of a survey that shows the bear population in a key part of northern Canada is far larger than … [Read more...]
