In the last couple of major posts I’ve done about Obama, I’ve tried to focus on the fact that Obama lives in a weirdly inverse world, where he tries desperately to hide what he really is, which is someone who believes that traditional values are evil. This same bizarre inversion, where Obama takes ordinary [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the societal problems fully legalized marijuana has brought to Holland. Those facts ran counter to the “marijuana is harmless compared to hard drugs” line of reasoning that has been used to justify legalizing marijuana. It now looks as if the “marijuana is less harmful than [...]

The Ninth Circuit, which is the laughing stock of the federal judiciary because it is overruled so often, did something bizarre yesterday: it issued a Constitutionally correct decision. Not only that, the decision meant that a citizens’ group will be able to engage in free speech that is contrary to the type of [...]

Assuming this story is true, which I currently consider a big “if” in this season of dirty politics, one has to give Edwards and his alleged girlfriend points for being pro-Life. She could easily have aborted a baby that will be very inconvenient.

As is often the case, Jonah Goldberg has elegantly and eloquently nailed my thoughts on a subject — this time, abortion.
And while we’re on the subject of someone articulating better than I could my ideas about a subject, why am I not surprised that Dennis Prager correctly summarizes how false the kerfuffle is about Ann [...]

There’s a new movie out about “homegrown religious fundamentalists who kill in the name of God” — and Manolah Dargis, who writes movie reviews at The New York Times really wants to like it. You’ve got to admire Manolah. After all, who in America doesn’t want a solid documentary about the homegrown Western [...]

I’m on another vacation, sitting in a cyber cafe, working at a small computer with a microscopic keyboard, so it must be random thoughts day. Thank goodness DQ is doing the heavy lifting.
The first thing that caught my interest is what Mitt said at the debate, which I really liked:
But it was Romney forced [...]

One doesn’t even have to read the Supreme Court’s partial birth abortion decision to know that it is entirely consistent with the Left’s beloved Roe v. Wade. Contrary to most people’s assumptions about Roe v. Wade, that case does not create an unfettered right to abortion. Instead, it does a balancing act, looking at the [...]

In my post about the field of front-running Republican candidates, I got a comment from someone who said that s/he could not possibly vote for Giuliani, because Giuliani is personally pro-choice. Further, the comment writer said (or implied) that this would hold true even if it boiled down to a race between Giuliani and a [...]

The same Mary Davenport who took on the scientific falsehoods in Michael J. Fox’s ad has co-authored an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle regarding the parental notification proposition (Prop. 85) on California’s ballot. The Proposition requires that, before a teenage girl can have an abortion, the clinic must notify her parents. As [...]

Some time ago, when I was still blogging at Blogger, I wrote a post asking what an American theocracy would look like. I asked this question because it occurred to me that, while liberals were frantically throwing around statements about Bush's "ultra conservatism" and "scary fundamentalism," none were articulating what they thought would happen if [...]

I didn't realize that the medical community had been bewildered as to whether premature newborns could feel pain. Now, hi-tech evidence shows that they do, in fact, experience pain:
Premature babies experience feelings of pain rather than simply displaying reflex reactions, a study says.
Experts have never been sure how a premature baby responds to pain, the [...]
