Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a paraphrase of a line written by British playwright William Congreve. Columbia University graduate Emma Sulkowicz is Exhibit A for the 21st Century that Congreve continues to be right. Sulkowicz has made a name for herself carrying around a mattress at Columbia University, including at last […]
Many years ago when I was a copy editor/page designer at the North County Times we had a reporter that had gotten an interview that everyone on the San Diego area news media was angling for. A local man had gotten into a serious car accident across the border in Mexico and, because he didn't have […]
Sally Kohn is a lesbian, CNN contributor and has a law degree (allegedly). She's also a militant gay fascist who would like to force Bible-believing Christians out of the public sphere and probably into camps if she had her way. As The Federalist's Robert Tracinski wrote, she's a decidedly illiberal "liberal." What is interesting about Kohn’s […]
Over at HotAir.com, they've assembled their "Quotes of the Day" with a focus on the Houston pastor subpoena fiasco. Skimming the briefs, this one from Slate.com, caught my eye. But I’m not particularly interested in defending the Houston lawyers’ actions, because, frankly, they were incredibly stupid, instantly regrettable, and utterly unnecessary. Yes, Houston’s anti-LGBT coalition […]
Last night, amid much media attention, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced that she had vetoed S.B. 1062, an anti-gay bill that would have quickly meant that gays in Arizona would be forced to sit at the back of the bus, be banned from Woolworth's lunch counters, prevented from attending state colleges, be harassed and probably […]
Last week, Fox News talking head and columnist Kirsten Powers wrote a column for USA Today that accused legislators in Kansas of creating a new system of "Jim Crow" laws with their efforts to protect religious believers from being forced to violate their consciences by providing services to gay nuptials. Four days later, she published another piece, […]
Let me start out by saying that I think there needs to be some sort of social safety net for Americans who find themselves out of work or down on their luck. However, I think the one we have now is far too generous and we've reached a point where too many Americans are far […]
The Supreme Court handed down two decisions earlier today on the gay marriage issue. The first struck down the Defense of Marriage Act as being enacted solely because President Bill Clinton, who signed the legislation into law, hates gay people. The second decision was to sidestep ruling on California's Prop. 8, which stated that marriage […]
When California was considering Proposition 8 which amended the California constitution to make the definition of marriage what it always was—the union of a man and a woman—gay marriage advocates responded with the “No H8” campaign featuring something called Hollywood luminaries with “No H8” written on their cheeks and their mouths covered with duct tape. […]
The same-sex “marriage” debate is not about equal rights for homosexuals, it’s about an anti-religion crusade designed to eventually treat believers in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions as pariahs, their beliefs not respected and certainly not allowed in polite society. It’s a point I’ve been making for years. In the wake of New York’s […]
