Leonardo DiCaprio and Pope Francis

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 11:43 am By Dave Griffey

So Mr. DiCaprio, who even caused the liberal PM of Canada, Justin Trudeau, to tell him to tone it down, received a warm welcome from Pope Francis. Now popes greet people. That’s no problem. And I don’t expect Pope Francis to kick Leo in the shin and knock him down over points where they might disagree. But I found this little snippet interesting, especially in light of Pope Francis’s rather open embrace of the modern MMGW movement: “As a child... Read more

Duh

Next story. Like we thought this wouldn’t start happening more and more. One thing about it, the Left’s ability to declare something to be yesterday’s truth continues apace. Remember when Gay Rights was all about tolerance and living among one another despite our disagreements, and we were told it was ludicrous to believe anyone would ever be punished for not accepting non-heterosexual normality? Yeah. I remember when MTV played videos, too. Read more

If Alexander Hamilton

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 11:05 am By Dave Griffey

Can be portrayed as such: then why is this: A problem? From what I’ve heard, the Hamilton musical is quite good. I have no problem with it. Or I do. One way or another. What I can’t stand is the continual celebration of double standards as a good thing as long as they are based on skin color, gender, religion or sexual desire. Read more

A tale told by an idiot

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 10:52 am By Dave Griffey

John C. Wright takes on the story of the Danish girl being prosecuted for pepper spraying a would be rapist. No, he’s not the idiot. He actually gives a lucid appraisal of the lies and stupidity of the Left that has brought about this little scandal. In truth, I saw this story a day or so ago when it was sent to me by one of my readers. I started to comment, then paused. If I looked at the story... Read more

Italian cardinal upholds science

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 8:51 am By Dave Griffey

Science c. 1988 that is. I remember the date, because that is when I was in college at the Ohio State University main campus. And I remember taking a sociology course. I also was taking courses in Education. And I remember specifically being taught that kids need a male and female presence. Hence why “Deadbeat Dads” were the scum of the earth. Not only did they abandon their responsibilities to the moms who could subsequently abort those same children without the... Read more

They have a point

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 7:41 am By Dave Griffey

But for the wrong reason. Most who are posting this story are putting it under the banner ‘Oh brother, insensitivity run amuck.’ Or something like it. The fact that a quote from MLK – perhaps the defining quote of his ministry – might have been taken down from the University of Oregon for not being inclusive enough has raised a couple eyebrows. But here is the thing. The quote: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day... Read more

God bless this heroic woman

This is what reminds us that we didn’t evolve. We were made. And we were made for a purpose. That is to love one another and to love the One who made us to love one another. May the Lord shower peace and strength upon her family and embrace her in His loving arms. Read more
