Greeting cards for all your same sex needs

Last updated on: July 8, 2016 at 11:37 pm By Dave Griffey

It’s funny, but you have to admit that most commercials still cater to the idea of Mom and Dad and 2.5 kids. Some, particularly those promoting more tech and digital based companies and products, are squeaking in the odd same sex couple. In the two instances I can think of, this consisted of two extraordinarily gorgeous young women in bed together or vacationing together with strong indicators that they are more than friends. Otherwise, it’s Mom and Dad most of... Read more

Brave Democrats maintain the narrative

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 6:47 pm By Dave Griffey

By staging a sit in at Capital Hill. Surrounded by security and air conditioning, they insisted that we must do everything in our power to avoid the stinking obvious about the Orlando attacks, and exploit this issue to ram through gun legislation we’ve been chomping at for decades. Note, again, that I’m not saying there is no room for debate about gun regulations and requirements for gun ownership. After all, you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater or sacrifice... Read more

What awaits the compromise with the Secular Left

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 3:32 pm By Dave Griffey

Is best seen in that nation up north. Canada is, for many Americans, a veritable paradise. Especially because it is cutting edge radical left and moving to enforce those liberal values with the strong arm of the law. So we have a religion teacher in a Catholic school being relieved because, according to this story, he told his class that homosexuals can’t sexually reproduce and, besides, homosexual marriage is against Catholic teaching. Since this is Canada, and not the United... Read more

The end of marriage and the end of liberty

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 2:30 pm By Dave Griffey

An interesting article over at Religion and Ethics, tracing the collapse of the historic understanding of marriage and the collapse of our rather recent (historically speaking) understanding of liberty and freedom. It’s worth the read. Read more

Loretta Lynch embraces the fog

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 1:36 pm By Dave Griffey

Staring at a pile of evidence that suggests the Orlando attack was either a vengeance killing from within depths of the gay community or a killing motivated by devotion to Islam and ISIS, Loretta Lynch invokes the spirit of liberalism. That is, who’s to say what the word ‘is’ really means? Can we know for a fact that 2+2=4? How can we ever really know that the universe isn’t a marble in some giant space alien’s bag? Maybe dog should... Read more

Orlando Shooter update

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 12:43 pm By Dave Griffey

Countering the transcripts of the Orlando shooter’s rants and ravings in which he insists it’s all about his devotion to ISIS, Allah, and anger at America’s Middle Eastern policies, an individual who claims to have been his gay lover has come out and said not so fast. According to him, who may or may not be Muslim himself, the shooter was really just outraged at gay Puerto Ricans because a former gay lover of the shooter, who was Puerto Rican,... Read more

Speaking of hate and bigotry

Last updated on: June 22, 2016 at 7:02 am By Dave Griffey

The Non-Black Lives Don’t Matter movement has issued a statement blaming the Orlando shooting on – wait for it – White Supremacy. Yeah, that’s right. I’ll leave you to stop chuckling before we continue. You see, the problem is that we’re not done. The Cold Civil War isn’t over. The Left still hasn’t won and come to dominate here in the States. It has ended in Europe, that’s why there aren’t many titanic clashes. Oh sure, post-Christian liberalism is eating... Read more

CDC releases banned gun violence study?

Last updated on: June 21, 2016 at 10:31 am By Dave Griffey

What am I missing? So I see this story pop up, about the results of a CDC study on gun violence. It’s a conservative site, so the emphasis is on how helpful guns are for deterring crime. There are some other tidbits touched upon. Basically not much folks who have followed the issue haven’t already heard. At the same time, I Googled ‘CDC study on gun violence’ to find corroborating articles, and came up with a string of sites... Read more

Orlando shooter transcripts released

Last updated on: June 21, 2016 at 9:47 am By Dave Griffey

The man’s a mystery. Just what could have motivated him is still sending our best and brightest to the cubicles, trying to figure out why he did what he did. I haven’t been able to find the full and complete transcript yet. So far, I’ve heard two things that, if true, would be interesting. First, I’ve heard that his references to Allah were still changed to ‘God’. On one level, that might not mean a thing. But on another,... Read more
