I bet this makes Thanksgiving dinner a little awkward. Read more
When discussing the show's premise with my thirteen-year-old, she said, "The Bachelorette is like socialism. If people weren't flawed, it just might work." Read more
Over at NRO, I read about the sad and ugly denouement of the Penn State football scandal — the scandal where a former football player didn’t have the courage to seize an elderly child rapist he caught in the act, where a football legend didn’t have the courage to even ban an old friend from campus, and where administrators looked the other way rather than confront ugly truths. It’s just one story, yes, but there are many other stories. We... Read more

“Gay Pride Month” is a political and moral statement by the Obama administration and large corporations to marginalize and shame people who don’t want to celebrate all things gay. Here's why. Read more
Ever since the Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision, I’ve been deeply demoralized — feeling like something fundamental just changed in our nation and our culture. The relationship between citizen and state has been redefined, and more strong legal bricks have been laid in the abortion edifice. For conservatives there is no silver lining to this decision, none.
