Then Senator John Kerry was preaching the apocalyptic dangers of 'climate change' a mere 4 years ago. He claimed there would be no Arctic ice at the pole this past summer. He was wrong. Like so many climate activists he assured us that the climate was changing at dangerous rates and needs … [Read more...]
Where ever you find yourself on the abortion debate, I would think that requiring parental notification for elective abortion should be a bipartisan stance. Opponents of the requirement often cite assaults or even murders of teen girls who confessed to their parents that they are pregnant, which is … [Read more...]
When I discuss abortion and reference the pro-choice side of the issue, I use the term abortion defender. It doesn't (shouldn't) come across as confrontational, poisonous, and accurate. I understand defenders of the right to elective abortion tend to prefer the term pro-choice. Many of those who … [Read more...]
Most arguments defending a mother's right to an an elective abortion rarely center around what it is that's being aborted. It's not frivolous as to why either. If the discussion takes a turn toward science or biology, they would be forced to admit abortion takes the life of an innocent human … [Read more...]
But so is Roe v Wade and DOMA. And so was Dred Scott. And separate but equal and every other Jim Crow law for that matter. Laws are enacted and repealed -- well not so much repealed anymore. But simply being the law of the land doesn't entitle it from alteration or repeal. I expect my … [Read more...]
The parent - teacher conference for my youngest daughter (1st grade) was last night. As most of you with school age children for whom there are still parent - teacher conferences know, the parents before you are always talking long past their time. If you've never noticed this, you're those … [Read more...]
The Political Left views people in groups, not as individuals. This is why some people are more equal than others and why some people are more valuable than others (i.e., hate crime laws). In so doing it is then possible to create divides among the people. People lose their individual identities … [Read more...]
What has been forgotten in all this shutdown talk is why there there can even be a shutdown in the first place: there's no official budget in place. The President has had his budget blueprint unanimously voted down not once, but twice. Not a single Democrat would even put their name on his plan. … [Read more...]
This is the perfect follow-up to my previous post where I point out that the political left use hyperbolic language to paint their ideological counterparts as evil and unworthy of consideration. The political left views the political right as immoral for holding the beliefs they do. If you oppose … [Read more...]
In the days of old, American politicians could disagree yet still compromise with one another and get the job done. Unfortunately, since the election of President George W. Bush I have seen a dramatic change in discourse from those from the political left. It's not simply that the two sides … [Read more...]
The following graph directly from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the declining trend in the average global temperature since the turn of this century. The response from AGW activists is to dismiss the data rather than admit that if the crisis they peddle were true, … [Read more...]
A cache of guns was seized in Bridgeport, CT after a months long trafficking investigation. Many -- if not most -- of the firearms were illegal. Included among the weapons was ammunition capable of penetrating the body armor used by police. (WTNH) -- Among the weapons seized were an illegal Street … [Read more...]
I decided to check the health insurance exchange for my State to see just how affordable health insurance would be if I was to enroll. Turns out I couldn't afford the least expensive plan at all. Seriously, I couldn't. Who can afford $736 a month, roughly $8,840 annually? On top of that, I … [Read more...]
Granted this proof comes from twitter, but it still has discussional merit. Pew Research has noted the Twitter response to the feelings about Obamacare and who is responsible for the government shutdown. Admittedly these aren't necessarily the same people making both claims. However, we should … [Read more...]
The Democrats as a party are more than $18 million in debt and Republicans are sitting on a $12.5 million surplus. I wonder how something like this happens? (CNN) -- The Democrats' numbers speak for themselves: Through August, 10 months after helping President Obama secure a second term, the DNC … [Read more...]
Near the close of Texas Senator Ted Cruz's 21 hour symbolic filibuster protesting the funding of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, fellow Senator Dick Durbin (D - Illinois) challenged Cruz in an attempt to paint him as a hypocrite. SEN. DURBIN: Will the senator from Texas for the record tell … [Read more...]
If the government shuts down -- I don't believe it will -- who will you blame? The Republican plan funds the government to the requests of the President and his political compatriots, except for the ACA (Obamacare). The President and Senate Democrats pledge to vote down and veto any bill that … [Read more...]
The following clip is as sad as it is funny, _____________________________________________________ Let me help Ed Shultz's faith leader on this one. It's 2 Thessalonians 3:10 "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to … [Read more...]
The Make DC Listen hashtag is more than a protest against President Barack Obama's healthcare law. The fact is a large majority of the American public has been opposed to this law from it's inception. In order to get the nation's attention, Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) is engaging in a token … [Read more...]
