President Obama Listened to a Heckler With Humility His Critics Are (Ususally) Wrong

May 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment

  The president I know and love stood listening with respect to a heckler when he spoke today about closing Guantanamo prison. He is a big man in every sense of the word with a big heart. The "IRS scandal" and the "Benghazi scandal" are just more bash Obama "stories" that aren't about what they purport to be about. Liberals and far right conservatives have joined forces in writing off the Obama presidency so many times I’ve lost count. They did so from day one. Liberals did it by … [Read More...]

May 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Yesterday 1.8 million British Muslims did NOT hack anyone to death. Yesterday 61 million people in the UK were NOT attacked by Muslims. Yesterday most people in the UK and America and indeed the world got on FINE... Keep that in mind as the "news" media sells advertising by replaying endless loops of loopy made-for-TV knife-wielding carnage.       … [Read More...]

The Lie of Religious ‘Victimhood’ at the Root of Culture War

May 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment

  What nurtures the victimhood on the one hand and the hubris about “taking America back for God” on the other hand? When you hear words like “We want to take back America for God!” the twenty-first century expression of such theocratic ideas can be traced back to some of my old friends: the Reconstructionists. Conservative Roman Catholics, Mormons and Evangelicals couldn't turn back the gay-rights movement and the progressive attitudes of most Americans about sex and … [Read More...]

Republicans’ “Christianity” Is Anti-Christ

May 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Many Republicans claim to be  believers in Jesus. On the evidence they hate Him. The Republican/Calvinist/evangelical version of the Sermon on the Mount might go like this:  Blessed are those who exercise dominion over the earth: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who deport the immigrants: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are those who agree that the significance of Jesus Christ as the ‘faithful and true witness’ is that He not only witnesses against … [Read More...]

Pro-Choice Yet Pro-Life?

May 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Can one be pro-life and yet pro-choice? More and more people are saying that they believe that life indeed starts at conception yet also argue that abortion should be legal. Are you one of those who think this way? If not why not? Please read and comment. This article ("Inside the Controversy Over Man Charged with Murder for Slipping an Abortion Pill to Pregnant Girlfriend”) by Mary Elizabeth Williams was first published by Salon  and reprinted on AlterNet and is reprinted here by … [Read More...]

You Can Be Pro-Choice and Also Want to Ban Late Term Abortions

May 14, 2013 By 10 Comments

I predict that because the pro-choice leaders refuse to concede that late term abortions are murder that they are jeopardizing the legality of abortion and thus women's rights. I predict that Roe and Bolton— in their present form wherein they permit abortion without restriction and at any age of fetal development— are not going to survive. I also predict that abortion will remain legal but be restricted to more closely reflect the vast majority of the American … [Read More...]
