By TerranceH I haven't written anything in awhile due to lack of inspiration, but an article in today's Detroit Free Press gave me just the spur I needed to get back in the saddle. It's about the City of Detroit and its $17 billion debt. Soon, Detroit may hold the title for the … [Read more...]
“Homeless” to soon be a protected class in Connecticut
May 31, 2013 by 23 Comments
Conn. lawmakers are on the verge of making it a hate crime to 'intimidate or harass' the homeless. Let me be clear up front. It's obviously wrong to intimidate or harass anyone, more so the more vulnerable among us. I have stated previously that I oppose the idea of hate crimes in the first … [Read more...]
Birth rates and abortion rates
May 30, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Some on the pro-abortion choice will try to correlate the states with the highest teen birth rates to the fact that they are by and large the states with the most religious population. This is meant, I presume, to show some double-standard when it comes to the "religious-right" and their ideas … [Read more...]
Reader Poll: Should Marijuana Be Legal For Recreational Consumption?
May 29, 2013 by 13 Comments
For the sake of this discussion, I do not include medicinal marijuana for consideration. Personally, I'm not committed to either side here and have no dog in this fight. I don't see myself becoming a consumer if it becomes legal either. I could be swayed to either position. … [Read more...]
Are homosexuals immune from the law?
May 23, 2013 by 6 Comments
In a previous post I outed liberal media outlet Think Progress for using intentionally misleading headlines to stir up support for 18 year-old Kate Hunt who was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a minor. The headline read: Florida Teen Expelled, Charged With Felony For Lesbian … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
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...]
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...]

A recent court decision has made it possible for girls as young as 15 years-old to obtain the "morning after" pill without a prescription. Here are a few thoughts I have on this controversial ruling. 15 year-old teens are unable to drive, vote, enter into contracts, own real property, drink … [Read more...]
Kermit Gosnell: One among many (UPDATED)
April 29, 2013 by 9 Comments
My post citing the Washington Examiner's 58 gruesome details of the Kermit Gosnell trial was also posted by someone at Cafemom.com. I must say that I found some of the comments particularly startling. I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me, how fiercely some of the (presumably) moms defended … [Read more...]
President Obama & Planned Parenthood
April 26, 2013 by 11 Comments
President Obama delivered a pillory of pro-lifers in front 1,000 Planned Parenthood supporters today, telling them that efforts to restrict abortion represent an endeavor to "turn back the clock" on women's progress. "The fact is, after decades of progress, there's still those who want to turn … [Read more...]

Anything but Islam
April 24, 2013 by 17 Comments
The Political Left is doing all it can to avoid what is obvious to everyone else. (Think Progress) -- Could the amateur boxing career of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the deceased suspect in last week’s Boston Marathon bombings, have had a role in the massacre? That’s a question leading brain researchers at … [Read more...]

Oops… Climate “Scientists” wrong again
April 17, 2013 by 1 Comment
If it weren't so sad, it would be funny. Warmists cling to the idea that the Earth is heating up and it's all the fault of filthy humans. The problem is every day new studies and corrections of previous data emerge to show Al Gore and his minions are simply wrong about climate change and it's … [Read more...]
I told you so: McDonald’s requiring bachelor’s degree for cashiers
April 4, 2013 by 21 Comments
Back in December I warned fast food workers seeking to unionize and demand a "living wage" that they were asking for trouble. If wages and benefits reach the levels which were being demanded, does anyone really think these restaurants will continue to hire the same kinds of people they currently … [Read more...]
