Regular readers might recall this post put up about 6 weeks ago: Today we learn Mr. Regnerus is being targeted by the militant gay fascist movement: A University of Texas sociologist is being investigated for scientific “misconduct,” after angering gay activists with research suggesting children raised by same-sex couples have more problems as adults. Professor Mark Regnerus [...]
I don’t know how else to square the logic: Given his stance on Chick-fil-A, would Mayor Tom Menino grant permits to a group that has counted among its leaders a man who has repeatedly called homosexuality a “crime that must be punished” by death? Actually, he has done that . . . and more! Menino effectively gave away city land [...]
Jonathan Chait on “The Real Reason ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Works“: Mitt Romney’s plan of blatantly lying about President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech is clearly drawing blood. But what makes the attack work so well is not so much the lie itself but the broader subtext of it. … The key thing is [...]
Yesterday morning we covered the fact that Chik-fil-A’s President was quoted as saying that which he actually never said and has been villified since for words never uttered. Late yesterday the mayor of Boston jumped smack dab into the center of this made up controversy: Mayor Thomas M. Menino is vowing to block Chick-fil-A from bringing its [...]
Don’t miss Msgr. Charles Pope’s take-down of a particularly feisty Catholic hater who calls himself The Friendly Atheist. A teaser excerpt follows: We know Catholic leaders are mostly a bunch of men who don’t want to hear any legitimate arguments as to why they’re wrong on issues like contraception usage and gay marriage. Note that [...]
Last month we learned about studies we predicted would not go over well: Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that gay parents are the same as — or maybe better than — marriedmother-father parents. “The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,” University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus said [...]
Too sick hopefully to actually vote in November: The pool report on President Obama’s trip to Roanoke, Virginia says that more than 20 people fainted during the president’s speech this evening. “TV viewers may have heard POTUS pointed out a couple of faintings during the rally in downtown Roanoke,” writes the pool report. “In fact, [...]
The chief pilot for the mission, Brig. Gen. (res.) Joshua Shani, was interviewed recently and it occurred to me while reading it that many today have probably never heard of what took place 36 years ago. This, coming our way via Seraphic Secret, is worth your time and worth passing around: How did the crisis at [...]
I understand drones are effective tools in our military’s aresenal. I understand they minimize the risk in-close fighting brings to our side. But there is something about this that’s more than a little chilling: Holloman sits on almost 60,000 acres of desert badlands, near jagged hills that are frosted with snow for several months of [...]
If there are young children in your midst, children starving to hear that which inspires, that which teaches, that which harkens back to a time when young minds were filled with what made this country good and great, then gather them around you and together listen to what follows: Thank you Gretchen.
And the Church of Chicken Little takes yet another hit: Much to the surprise (and, one suspects, the chagrin) of the deranged doomsaying wing of the environmental movement, new forecasts of US CO2 emission are out and they point to an even steeper drop than the last set of predictions. No cap and trade, no [...]
It’s quite normal and routine to read about media bias at my place. It’s quite another to read about it from an insider, from an acclaimed news guy who spent decades in the biz, from someone who has historically poo poo-ed the notion that your regular news outlets are completely in the tank for leftist thought, [...]
President Obama was interrupted by Neil Munro of The Daily Caller today during a White House presser announcing the administration’s politically motivated decision to grant amnesty to a large number of illegal immigrants. Let’s go to the video: Mr. Munro explained himself at his site: “I always go to the White House prepared with questions [...]
I think it’d be hard to find anyone who would not respect those belonging to the Special Operations community. These are the cream of the warrior crop who lay everything on the line for the mission and who earn our respect by their courageous deeds. They’ve found a new mission: Honorably discharged veterans of [...]
Thinking people, people who understand the man and the ideology that drives him, won’t be surprised to learn that for the third year running, he’ll officially ignore D-Day: It’s D-Day and President Obama is hitting the beaches – of sunny California! Instead of scheduling a brief event to mark the 68th anniversary of America’s brutal [...]
He being Scott Walker: Public sector unions have reached their high water mark. Let the cleanup begin as the red ink recedes. Despite a last-minute smear campaign accusing Scott Walker of fathering an illegitimate love child, the governor’s recall election victory sends a clear message that should resonate around the nation: The fiscal cancer devouring [...]
No one should deny that The New York Times serves at the behest of Barack Hussein Obama and the leftist ideology they both embrace. And no one should deny that Cardinal Dolan is the face of the opposition to the HHS Mandate being foisted upon Catholics by this administration. So this hit piece from the [...]
… then anything can be defined to be a marriage: A 36-year-old North Dakota woman who married herself in a commitment ceremony last March has now spoken about her self-marriage choice in an interview with Anderson Cooper. The marriage took place among friends and family who were encouraged to “blow kisses to the world” after she exchanged rings with [...]
To hell in a handbasket: Aaron Walker (aka Worthing) was arrested today in a Maryland courtroom. Several days ago, convicted bomber and perjurer Brett Kimberlin had obtained a “peace order” against Walker, and today Walker was arrested for violating the order. My information is that the judge claimed that Walker violated the provision against electronic [...]
Bob Owens is raising the possibility: I had never heard of “lean” before yesterday, but apparently it is a concoction made from certain prescription cough syrups and a beverage medium, often made more palatable with candy. One of the recipes for “lean” calls for using Arizona Iced Tea Co.watermelon fruit juice cocktail as the beverage of choice, and Skittles candy… [...]
No holds barred from the New Jersey Governor: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Kentucky Republicans on Saturday that President Barack Obama was “posing and preening” instead of working to resolve pressing issues facing the country. “He is the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” Christie told some 600 Kentucky Republicans [...]
Fascinating happenings coming from many of the nation’s Catholics… God bless ‘em: Catholic archdioceses and institutions filed suit in federal district courts across the country Monday against the so-called contraception mandate, in one of the biggest coordinated legal challenges to the rule to date. Claiming their “fundamental rights hang in the balance,” a total of [...]
Mike at Cold Fury is about to walk us through the maze that is the liberal mind: Okay, let me see if I have all this straight. Bill Clinton, a white Southerner, was the first black president. Obama, an apparently straight guy, is the first gay president. George Zimmerman, a Hispanic, is a white guy. [...]
Via RealClearPolitics: “Whatever people think about this issue, we know it’s controversial, there’s no denying when a president speaks out for the first time like that, it is history,” co-host of ABC’s “Good Morning America” George Stephanopoulos said to Robin Roberts. And let me tell you, George, I’m getting chills again,” “Good Morning America” co-host [...]
