Fair Play

I’m writing this in defense of a friend. He has a business, and people like what he’s selling. Who wouldn’t, really? It’s ice cream! He was asked to be a vendor at a very popular street festival last year, and even though the weather was horrid (i.e. it rained almost every […]

Black People Need to Shut Up

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.
Do […]

Not Going To Take It Anymore

I was going to title this post “A Modest Proposal,” but I decided against it because what I want to propose is far from modest. Bold, yes. Crazy, yes. But not modest.
I’m tired of listening to politicians puppet the party standard. I’m tired of hearing how corporations own the government, […]

Quality of Life

The way I see it, people frame their political views based on the idea of “quality of life.” What you see as central to your quality of life frames your political views. Take any political issue, and I would bet your views on it can be traced back to your opinion on what […]

Dear Ann Coulter

I can’t say I’m surprised by your declaration of democrats and liberals as a sleeper cell, but I must say I am disappointed. You are clearly intelligent, and have a panache for radical punditry, but here’s the thing: your broad generalizations of “Conservatives good! Liberals evil!” is disingenuous at best and unpatriotic at worst. […]

Peace

OK, some background: I go to Sunday school. I’ve never gone to an adult religious education class before, and this group focuses on thinking about and exploring religious issues; it’s not traditional Bible study. Anyway, this Sunday, Dec. 31, we’re all supposed to bring in a message or prayer for peace to usher in […]

Be brave. Be human. Hmmmm.

Be brave. Be human. Hmmmm.
Okay, so I’m honestly going to say that I can’t speak about being “brave,” but I do know how hard it can be sometimes simply to be “human.”
I’ve caught myself, driving home - son in the back seat and an audiobook playing - mentally going over the things I […]

Dangers of a Christian Nation

Dennis Prager and his ilk are still up in arms over Keith Ellison’s desire to take his Congressional oath of office while holding a Koran. According to Prager, this should be forbidden “not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.”
Apparently the Koran doesn’t […]

Round Two

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 […]

Gay Families

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 […]
