One of the arguments advanced by the left about homosexual marriage is that the government should not be legislating sex between consenting adults.  A counter to that is "what about incest" or even polygamy, beastiality, etc.  They have "poo-pooed" those objections as being extremist and stupid and diverting the discussion. Unfortunately for them, their own words are their doom.  For now we have David Epstein - a loony loopy Luddite liberal - from columbia university that has d...

Wikileaks has been in the news of late and for obvious (unless you have been living in a cave) reasons.  While some (notably a blogger on JU) have lionized Julian Assange for exposing secret cables from and to US diplomats, the truth is Assange is just an immature brat that whines when he does not get his way and stamps his feet and throws hissy fits when those around him disagree with him.  In short, he is not a leaker, hero or noble victim.  He is a spoiled child that was never ...

I once made a statement on a magazine web site that the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) crowd contained elements of groups that wanted the extinction of the human race.  I was of course challenged and then easily provided links to groups whose purpose is to cause a massive extermination of humanity - and support the idea of AGW.  This of course does not mean that all who believe in AGW are advocating the mass extinction of the human race, but they are among them. Until now. ...

Liberal Mentally Ill Coincidence?

Liberals are predictable. For many years, following 9/11 we heard how we had given up our rights by passing the Patriot Act.  Even though it was tailored to apply to non-citizens.  Even though it was passed by a bi-partisan congress (Democrats controlled the Senate).  Even though a solid majority democrat government (filibuster proof senate, large house majority, liberal democrat president) renewed it.  Liberals still wail and cry about how Bush was the usurper of rights!&...

In a surprise move, the clowns at MSNBC indefinitely suspended the master of Hate, Keith Olbermann.  The reason was for violating their ethics policy (oxymoron alert - Media and ethics) by donating to democrat candidates.  The interesting part is they did not suspend him until AFTER the election. But then I guess that just punctuates the oxymoron referred to earlier.

I recently returned from a cruise.  It was my first one, and it did not end until the day after the election.  So on election night, I was limited in knowing what was going on (and I was not going to spend a lot of time watching the returns as I was on a cruise!). The only station that was available was CNN (that any was available on a ship at sea is kind of stunning to me).  And the election night coverage was terrible!  For any that missed it, it was a constant apology a...

"People out there are still hurting very badly, and they are still scared. And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared." - Barack Obama Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, along comes Jaws II - The reincarnation of Jimmy Carter! Yes, Barack Hussein Obama has outdone the old peanut ...

Many now know of the kerfuffle in California with Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown calling Meg Whitman a whore.  The comment was a bit amusing, and totally uncalled for given the nature of all politicians.  But at least one would have expected an organization, whose mission is to ensure women a level playing field, to object to the use of word meant to demean a woman of accomplishment.  The implication of the word of course is that a woman cannot do anything without sleeping her way to powe...

The Global Warming wackos are getting desperate.  The latest - which you will not hear about in any of the "non-biased" media - is from England where teachers, bosses, and studio producers are blowing up people that have not swallowed the Global Warming kool-aid (why should the sheep be the only ones that die?  Blow up those not taken in by the hysteria so no one will be left). Reportedly (as in they made their point so they do not give a damn now), the 1010 organization has pulled ...

Much has been made of Bush's war on terrorism, mostly by democrats.  They accuse him of a bigotry so far not supported by facts, and that charge has been picked up and used by Muslim countries around the world.  Yet it was Bush on 9-14-01 that went out of his way to specifically say we were at war with terrorism, and not Muslims. But what about democrats faced with similar situations?  Looking back at the last war that consumed the nation, Vietnam, Kennedy did not lock up the V...

I recently wrote an article in praise of Verizon FIOS. I noted in the comments that I had heard Verizon had stopped expansion of the project and wondered why.  A commenter said the reason was that Verizon was waiting for government money (another needless bailout).  In that I cannot blame them.  Free money (i.e. not yours) is an opiate for any company (and most individuals).  But his explanation reminded me of another government program that has long outlived its usefulness a...

I was researching the Shore Bank of Chicago for an  aunt of mine recently (there appears to be a potential scandal there) because she no longer trusts Snopes for getting to the truth about anything Obama (indeed, if you search for any Obama story that may be true or is true, you do not find it at Snopes, but you do find it at Truth or Fiction). As I was checking out an email she had been sent (the always circulating ones that we all get from our relatives and friends), my wife asked me w...

Well...I would not go that far (and I do not think he would either).  But after this past weekend, US Snooze and World Report did a survey and found he was a better orator than the messiah!  Yep!  he got over 2/3rds the votes to Obama's 1/3rd. But then Beck said more things of substance in 1 day than Obama has in 6 years.
