Taxpayer funded bibliolotry
It would be an understatement to say the scriptural literacy bar at Prison Fellowship Ministries (PFM) is set below sea level, and that’s before the sea level rise that Chuck Colson denies. PFM’s premier science writer PhD physicist and “Centurion”, … Continue reading

Frank Wolf’s discriminatory religious conviction
Last week, I called Congressman Frank Wolf’s office and spoke to his aide Andrew. I asked Congressman Wolf to support H.R. 3017, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009 (ENDA). I told Andrew that I didn’t expect Congressman Wolf to support … Continue reading

Sterling, this is your Supervisor
Having heard that Eugene Delgaudio has toned it way down on the dais now that he is the standard bearer for the GOP on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, we were excited/entertained/relieved to come across yet another alleged fundraising … Continue reading
A vote for hate
As expected, Loudoun’s Congressman Frank Wolf voted ‘No’ on the Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Wolf has consistently voted against this legislation since it was introduced in the 105th Congress. His vote is also unsurprising because … Continue reading
The sun is rising, and I see the future
Awesome video smackdown to the ludicrous NOM below. (Come on, pretend you’re “a California doctor” and say it with me: “a storm is gathering…the clouds are dark, and the winds are strong…and I am AFRAID..” You know you want to.) … Continue reading

Taxpayer funded politicking
On December 23, 2009, Chuck Colson obliged Senator Jeff Sessions and gave the keynote speech at the “12:23 Men of Mobile Bay Christmas Gathering.” His topic was the Manhattan Declaration. Two thousand representatives of 30 religious groups applauded Colson as … Continue reading →
