I don’t know the truth. I’m always seeking for answers. Or, when trying to answer questions of my always-questioning son, I’m admitting that I don’t have all the answers (offering, of course, to help him seek answers in other places). Sometimes I just wish I could stop thinking, or more honestly, stop […]
Blacks need to shut up. They complain too much about being “oppressed,” and keep shoving things like “equality” in our faces. This is a WHITE nation, founded by white people, and black people should realize it and deal. If black folk weren’t so uppity, they wouldn’t inspire people to hate them.

In this week’s issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, Scott Turner wonders Why can’t we discuss intelligent design? Here we go again.

Time for round 2. I thought perhaps when I wrote about Minnesota Representative-elect Keith Ellison’s desire to be sworn into office using the Quran, I was at the tail-end of the story…it was old news. Apparently not for everyone…
Representative Virgil Goode (R-Virginia) recently sent out a letter to his constituents which was, according to […]
Recently in Time magazine James Dobson wrote a piece in which he commented on Vice President Dick Cheney’s lesbian daughter and her partner having a baby together. Dobson is against homosexual parenting in general and used this particular article to explain why. His primary objections are clearly religious, and he is quite up front […]
When you hear the term “child abuse”, you probably imagine the worst. Beatings, incest, and the darkest side of humanity. What probably doesn’t come to mind is brainwashing.
