How atheists see themselves

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 12:00 pm By Dave Griffey

How people of faith see atheists: Both, by the way, were cartoons published by atheists to advance atheism. So which one is correct? I’m betting the second one, since the first one clearly leaves out that little part where the atheist pulls in the ACLU to remind us that atheism alone deserves to be in the public forum, all other religions should be put into the closet. So accuracy goes to the second pic. Read more

Assassinations of the olden days

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 10:42 am By Dave Griffey

The American Catholic has an interesting post on assassinations that were springing up all around the late 19th century world. There were many, and of course, many motives for the assassins. None would have the direct impact on history that Gavrilo Princip’s assassination of Archduke Ferdinand accomplished. But each played it’s little part. Donald McClarey focuses on that rash of assassinations that came as a result of the anarchists who were all the rage, culminating in the death of president... Read more

New law expects boys to use boys’ bathrooms

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 10:30 am By Dave Griffey

That’s a shame. A country that expects boys to use boys’ bathrooms and girls to use girls’ bathrooms must have something wrong. Remember, the folks who are enraged at this gross injustice are the same good people who help us realize that statements like ‘men can’t have babies’ can be offensive, hate speech. So there you go. Who are you going to believe? People who cling to the archaic and homophobic notion that male and female were compatible for procreation,... Read more

Why don’t some Americans trust the Gay Rights Movement?

Last updated on: February 17, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

Because they’re not idiots, that’s why. So we have an editorial over at the Huffington Post. Ah, the Huffpost. I’ve not visited there for many moons. But this little piece popped up on my list, so I read it to see what the huff was about. Heh. Apparently there is a bill in Florida, much like bills we’ve seen in other states, that is trying to protect a pastor’s right to refuse a gay marriage in his or her church. ... Read more

When Liberals became more pro-life than me

Last updated on: February 16, 2016 at 1:14 pm By Dave Griffey

I’ve said before that Pope Francis appears to have a divisive way about him. If it’s not intentional, that is how it comes across. Though that’s not an automatic disqualifier. After all, Jesus once said he came not to bring peace, but bring a sword. So there you go. But I’ve sat back and tried to get my head around what is happening with the Francis Revolution and why, even though there is nothing new under the sun teaching-wise, and... Read more

For all the liberals who are shocked that Republicans might not support an Obama SCOTUS nominee

Last updated on: February 15, 2016 at 1:42 pm By Dave Griffey

I give you: In 1987, a whopping year and a half before the next presidential election, Democrats famously called for a “Phalanx” against any conservative justice Reagan might nominate to replace Lewis Powell. A year and a half before the election. And of course there was the obliteration of Robert Bork. I had a political science professor who was also an advisor for local Democratic politicians. Even he gasped when Kennedy laid the famous KKK blanket over Bork’s reputation. Reagan was... Read more

Oops he did it again

Last updated on: February 15, 2016 at 10:58 am By Dave Griffey

Mark Shea once again indulges in the time honored game of Catholic Word Play. You see, here is the problem. From 2008 through 2012, Mark and many others on the Catholic Internet made the case very clear: voting for the lesser of two evils was basically just giving into Satan. Especially in presidential elections where our votes don’t count anyway. Sure, you could vote for the lesser of two evils. After all, Pope Benedict said so in clear terms, and the... Read more
