Pew Research releases every so often a poll of what Americans consider priorities for the country. Here's what I would find amusing if it weren't so sad: In the president's first term, his policies weakened the economy, weakened the job situation (for every job created, more than 20 people went on … [Read more...]
Up until now the effectiveness of apologetic arguments for the existence of God have relied solely on who interprets the evidence. In other words, unconverted Atheists claim that no good evidence exists for God because if there were good evidence, they'd concede their atheism. However a new … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
Or so says Jezebel: It's impossible to open a magazine or turn on a TV show without hearing someone yammer on about when it's best for women to have babies. Do it too soon, and you'll basically be poor forever and your kid will end up becoming a Florida carnie when he grows up. Wait too long and … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
Ordinarily I don't read RedState.com, but they had a couple reader questions there I'd like to pose to my audience. I am not convinced that any warming which may be taking place (even though reports now show no warming in at least 16 years) is the result of human intervention. As I come across … [Read more...]
