Qualifications in the reality-based world

Have you heard this story? It seems that Jennifer Keeton, a young woman studying for a Masters in school counseling at Augusta State University, has found that the profession is not a good fit for her. Under normal circumstances, such a student would chalk it up to experience and change career paths. But this is […]

We have a winner

This may well be premature, but the award for Best Subject Line in the category Histrionic Email Blast in the wake of the grand-slam Prop 8 victory (ruling here) goes to Brian S. Brown of NOM:
“Federal Judge Rules Marriage Unconstitutional!”
I say this as kindly as is humanly possible: Brian, you idiot. Marriage is not unconstitutional. […]

What’s the world coming to?

UPDATE: Regarding the link at the end of this post - according to Michael Airhart, “A brilliant little article was posted on Craigslist in Lansing, Michigan, a couple days ago. Since then, several people have flagged it for removal — reasons unspecified. Until someone comes forward with a reason for its removal (such as copyright […]

Did Chuck really mean to say that?

Crossposted at Loudoun Progress
This is an interesting one from Chuck Colson (of Prison Fellowship Ministries; read more about them here). In case you’re not aware, PFM operates a tax-free multi-million dollar headquarters located in Ashburn, and founder Chuck Colson produces both a daily radio and email commentary, broadcast nationwide. His topics rarely have anything to […]

Missoula, Loudoun, and the politics of pee

The most recent community to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is…Missoula, MT. Missoula joins 129 other localities with such ordinances, including our neighbors to the north in Montgomery County, MD. The ordinance, which was adopted by the Missoula City Council 10-2, “covers discrimination in [housing,] the workplace and public […]

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 he fervently asked them to combat the “secular worldview” and ”advance the Kingdom of […]

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”, Regis Nicoll demonstrated that he is not a bible scholar in his December 18 […]

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 the legislation because he’s never supported any pro-GLBT legislation and asked the Congressman write me […]

Framing us as “the enemy”

Update: How could I have neglected to include the violent rhetoric of Manassas blogger Greg Letiecq in my sample? Incredibly, Letiecq made this statement shortly after the murders in Knoxville. Thank you, Bruce Roemmelt.
You can ultimately herd leftists no more easily than you can herd cats, unless of course deadly force is on the menu […]

We can’t *imagine* how that happened

Gosh, we just need to lighten up, don’t we? You can click on the image to read it, or I can just save you the trouble. It says, under “Liberal Hunting Permit”:
“No Bag Limit - Tagging Not Required. May be used while under the influence of Alcohol. May be used to Hunt Liberals at Gay […]
