I almost don't even know how to start this. Democrat Barbra Lee (D-California) has proposed a bill to create a federal Department of Peacebuilding. And no, I haven't been taken in by the Onion or the Daily Current. (The Hill) -- House Democrats led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) have introduced … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
Someone in the religious community just said publicly: If women get raped, it's their own fault if they're not dressed right. Two voices are suspiciously silent: The liberal media who spent months reporting on the supposed war on women, and the slut walk sluts [said with tongue firmly in cheek]. … [Read more...]
I think it's probably the norm for one generation to the next to believe the culture is in a state of moral decline. Of course this all depends on your worldview's standard of ethic. Depending on what you view as morally good and morally bad will shape how you view the moral direction of the culture … [Read more...]
Contraception activist Sandra Fluke is having her "services" auctioned off . The highest bidder will win a "strategy session" with Fluke to harness the tools of activism to help promote whatever agenda you need. Fluke is captalizing on her recent "person of the year" nomination by Time magazine … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/anarchic_teapot/status/272496292456984576 You see, nothing I've written suggests that I believe homosexuals are not human; and it's not just my opinion that suggests same-sex sexual relationships are unhealthy physically and mentally: research and statistics bear this out. … [Read more...]
Let's play a guessing game. The first person who can correctly guess who each of the people in this short clip voted for gets a thumbs up! But seriously, I think it's safe to assume they voted Democrat. In fact in my lifetime (no exaggeration) I have never heard a conservative denigrate our … [Read more...]
Not long ago I offered why I believe liberals will never be pro-life. In the post I referenced President Obama's view that babies are punishments, and contraceptive activist Sandra Fluke who called babies barriers to success. Well, recently I was in a debate which was recorded for the … [Read more...]
Over the course of the past six weeks or so I had been engaged in a debate with Justin Sheiber of Reasonable Doubts, the topic of which is: "Is Abortion Murder?" Justin sent me the invite through social media and I gladly accepted. In many circumstances I might be hesitant to accept such an … [Read more...]
People used to know what tolerance entailed. It was understood that even though your views were different from someone else's, you still treated them with respect. This view of tolerance has been abandoned for the most part by people who hold what are generally considered liberal views: … [Read more...]
It's no surprise to anyone who follows the platforms of American political parties that nearly universally speaking, Liberals and Democrats are pro-choice when it comes to abortion. But it wasn't until recently that I think I have stumbled upon why that is. We all remember -- well, those of us who … [Read more...]
Many on the left hurl criticism at the right for being the party of old white men. And they're right. Blacks aren't just allowed to be in the Republican party. But not because of Republicans or conservatives, that is. No, the reason they aren't allowed is because of Liberals and … [Read more...]
Rights are kind of a tricky issue. We have come a long way from the past where rights were fewer. What I mean is today we seem to have more rights than in previous generations. Put another way, rights are things we as citizens are entitled to in virtue of our citizenship, they're what we're owed. … [Read more...]
One recurring complain from Atheists is the problem of evil. Regardless of how this complaint is formulated, it is a persistent theme. It's certainly a valid complaint worthy of a response, but I think the Atheist has just as difficult a hurdle when trying to explain it through their worldview. … [Read more...]
(Daily Mail) -- Nebraska’s new abortion law forced one woman to give birth to her terminally ill, premature baby who she then helplessly held dying in her arms. [...] With this heartbreaking information [that their baby would not survive] the couple decided to have an abortion to avoid the baby … [Read more...]
If I was to suppose as to the most popular defense of elective abortion, it would be some variation of bodily autonomy -- It's a woman's body to do with what she chooses. A British woman made news by being sentenced to eight years for self-inducing a late-term abortion in order to hide an … [Read more...]
