Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yesterday, I got to be snarky about Time Magazine’s aggressive breast feeding cover (and if “aggressive breast feeding” isn’t a post-modern liberal oxymoron, I don’t know what is). Today, I get to poke fun at Newsweek, for it’s “Obama : The First Gay President” cover: Newsweak isn’t actually claiming that
Continue readingI mentioned in an earlier post the interesting fact that, on my Facebook page, it is my straight friends, not my gay friends, who are the most enthusiastic supporters of gay marriage. This is not to say that my gay friends are slacking in their support. They just lack the
Continue readingCassie Jay is a young woman who makes unabashedly Leftist films. Back, in 2010, she made a documentary called “Daddy I Do” that attacked abstinence-only education. Even in liberal Marin, this movie caused a bit of a kerfuffle, as the local art cinema first agreed to show it, then backed
Continue readingMy morning just got a wee bit complicated, so I won’t write the long, elegant post I’d imagined in my head when I read that Obama was pledging U.S. dollars to making the world safe for gays. There’s nothing wrong with making the world safe for gays. I heartily approve.
Continue readingThe following letter went out to all NASA employees: I’m not focusing on the merits of the Administrator’s statements. I’m just wondering about the appropriateness of NASA’s Administrator taking it upon himself to be an LGBT spokesperson, broadcasting those views on NASA’s behalf to the entire NASA community. I was
Continue readingOkay, I’ll admit that my post title is awkward, but it sums up what California State Senator Mark Leno is trying to do in California public schools: namely, put a person’s sexuality front and center, with a tag-on coda about the person’s actual accomplishments. This isn’t the first time a
Continue readingWe hear about a lot of firsts. Kennedy was our first Catholic president. Reagan our first actor president. Obama our first black president. But did you know that, long ago, we almost certainly had our first gay president? Yup. I’ve now read in two scholarly, sourced books that James Buchanan
Continue readingI’d like to think this is a joke, but modern Britain being modern Britain, I’m actually sure it’s not. One can only hope that at least some people will give the correct response to such an intrusive, inappropriate question: “Bugger off!” Are you straight or gay? Police and nurses to
Continue readingWhen I blogged about Capt. Owen Honors, I made the point that we cannot have delicate flowers in the military. Moral, decent people — yes. Delicate people — no. It turns out that at least some of the gays and lesbians serving on the USS Enterprise fully understood this point.
Continue reading1. Bruce Kesler looks at the ramifications of the repeal of DADT. 2. The Ivy Leagues say they’ll allow military recruiters back on campus (which at least ends their hypocrisy of taking federal feds but denying the feds access). See here and here. I wonder if that will have a
Continue readingMy younger readers, assuming I have any, don’t remember that, throughout the Cold War, the Communists, especially the East Germans, were reputed to be using feminized men to compete in women’s Olympic events. The benefit, of course, is that, no matter how the feminists try to deny it, men are
Continue readingThere is a post zooming around the liberal side of the internet, in which a mom says her son is gay . . . no, he’s not . . . yes, he is . . . who really cares? The genesis for this post was the fact that her 5
Continue readingI’m beginning to get a good sense of the requirements for a writing gig at the New York Times. Their editorial and employment departments carefully cull all comers for two main traits: an IQ that doesn’t exceed the double digits, and a complete lack of common sense and logic. Walk
Continue readingI’m very conflicted about gays serving openly in the military. To me, the military is an institution that must function optimally. It’s mission cannot be compromised to satisfy social experimentation. Nevertheless, gays have served and will continue to serve with distinction — provided that they keep secret a significant part
Continue readingThe media is very disappointed that a defense spending bill went down in flames, not over the question of spending, but over the issue of DADT. The headline at Politico says it all: Senate Republicans block ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ repeal. You see, Republicans hate gay people. Really, really hate
