Milking Multiculturalism

Pro-Life Pharmacies

It might be legal, but is it right? In answering the question for themselves, some pharmacists have refused to fill prescriptions of birth control pills or morning after pills. I am really torn about this whole thing, actually. While I’m all for people not violating their consciences, I just think there are better ways to […]

14 People Who Have Inspired Me…

Why McCain Has Such An Uphill Battle

One of the things I believe is that, like him or hate him, John McCain was the only candidate still in the running on Super Tuesday that had a chance to win. In other words, McCain has a decent shot to pull it out in November while Romney or Huckabee would have probably been struggling […]

Without Free Speech, Maintaining Freedom Becomes Impossible

In an op-ed found in the Toronto Star, Haroon Siddiqui defends Canada’s hate-speech laws by declaring “Free Speech Cannot be an Excuse For Hate“. Of course free speech isn’t an excuse for hate. Nor is free speech an apologist for hate. And free speech certainly doesn’t condone hate. However, it does not and must not […]

Obama and Absent Fathers

So, Barack Obama gave a resounding sermon, in a church (not Jeremiah Wright’s), on Father’s Day Sunday about the importance of fathers. The black community suffers disproportionately with fatherlessness and the results of this cultural phenomenon manifest many, many social ills from crime, to drug use, to drop-out rates, to incarceration, to teenage pregnancy etc. […]

Obama Channels Bill Cosby

There’s very little that Barack Obama says that’s worth applauding. In fact, most of his shtick consists of completely empty rhetoric about hope and change combined with a few dashes of whining and liberalism. However this Sunday, Barack Obama was spot-on for once, Addressing a packed congregation at one of the city’s largest black churches, […]

Idolizing Both Che and Obama

Unfortunately Maria Isabel — the Obama campaigner worker fond of displaying flags that feature communist executioner Che Guevara — is not unique: The moonbat above is Lorain County, Ohio Judge James Burge. The picture accompanies a USA Today story describing Burge’s opposition to Ohio’s lethal injection procedure, on the grounds that it isn’t quick and […]

Let’s Nutpick Crooks And Liars!

Just because they were having a hissy fit yesterday Face The Nation: Jindal Thinks Intelligent Design Should Be Taught With Evolution I try very hard to be tolerant of others’ beliefs.

AP Gets to Annoy Its Readers

Dina Cappiello, writing for AP, has an article out entitled “Companies Get OK to Annoy Polar Bears.” Anyone, what “companies” do you supposed Cappiello is writing about?

Let’s all remember today the patriots who, starting 233 years ago, loved […]

On Boumediene

Over at Protein Wisdom, Darleen Click remarks on the ramifications of SCOTUS’ group acid trip this past week.

California and Chile Sign “Alternative Energy Agreement”

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet is a go-getter, meeting with the Canadian head of state and with Governor Schwarzenegger in quick succession in an attempt to grapple with her country’s energy needs.
