Violated Consciences

February 6, 2012

It seems as if the American Catholic Bishops are oh-so-upset with President Obama's decision to mandate all employers to cover contraception in all health plans, even those provided by religious institutions to employees. “In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” said Cardinal-designate Timothy M.

"Dangers Of Contraception"

January 4, 2012

As I mentioned the other day, the Iowa GOP caucuses are not representative of the larger, American electorate….and that's actually a good thing. Last night Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum ended in a dead heat for first place in the Iowa GOP caucuses. Romney received 30,015 caucus votes (24.6%)….Santorum with 30,007 votes (24.5%)…Ron Paul took [...]

Forced Pregnancy Referendum In Mississippi

November 8, 2011

Along with Ohio's SB5 referendum vote in Ohio today…..is Mississippi's referendum vote on "fetal personhood." Voters in Mississippi today will be deciding whether they believe all fertilized human eggs are, in fact, "persons"…and thus entitled to all the protections guaranteed to all other U.S."persons." Of course, this Mississippi referendum has nothing to do with granting [...]

Moral Immorality?

September 15, 2011

Washington Post… Antiabortion activists who have sought for months to shut down a Germantown (Maryland) clinic picketed its landlord outside a Montgomery County middle school where his daughter is a student, school and police officials said Monday.

Jobs Talk

September 2, 2011

It's been obvious for a long time that our national economic problem is being exacerbated by lack of demand for goods and services. This lack of demand is not because of lack of confidence. It is because of lack of jobs. Obviously, when working Americans lose their jobs, they lose a good deal of their [...]

Ohio Moves To Privatize Public Schools

May 12, 2011

Advocates for school vouchers have always insisted that voucher programs are for the purpose of saving children hopelessly lost in "failed" public school systems. This cynical Reverend never bought that nonsense. Now, it looks like Ohio's House Republicans don't buy that nonsense either…. The Ohio House of Representatives is considering legislation that would make….. vouchers [...]

Indiana Declares War On Women

April 30, 2011

Last June, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, called for conservatives to declare a "truce" over divisive conservative social issues if Republicans planned on regaining the presidency in 2012. That naturally led to many on the sanctimonious right to blast ole' Mitch. Example, the Huckster, and bass guitar playing Mike Huckabee…. Apparently, a 2012 Republican presidential prospect [...]

Never Has Been About The Spending

April 8, 2011

I have argued until my keyboard keys are worn out that our current crop of Republicans in Washington do not care one whit about government spending….and really never have cared. The same goes for the deficit and the national debt. Talk is cheap and with today's Tea Party inspired Republicans….cheap talk has been on sale. [...]

Microscopically Smaller Government

March 19, 2011

One of the often heard slogans of libertarians and Tea Partiers is "smaller government." All problems that exist, according to libertarian types, exist because government is too intrusive and too big. This smaller-government religion is epitomized in the words of one Grover Norquist, former College Republican dirty trickster. The Grover is famous for saying that [...]

Smaller Government….My Derriere

October 7, 2010

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times. Conservative opponents of President Obama tell us that what America needs is "smaller government." Smaller government is one of the primary concerns of the often-incoherent group known as the Tea Parties. Tea Partiers are mad as hell and they simply ain't gonna' take anymore [...]
