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.

Sacraments and the Entitled

January 8, 2012

There was yet another Republican presidential candidates debate last night conducted by ABC and Yahoo. Here is the transcript…. Same old…same old, really. However, the topic of gay marriage came up. Question….“Given that you oppose gay marriage, what do you want gay people to do who want to form loving, committed, long-term relationships? What is [...]

"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 [...]

WWJW: Who Would Jesus Whip?

October 30, 2011

Bryan Fischer is the American Family Association guy who recently said that Mitt Romney was not a Christian. Romney's a Mormon. And Mormons, according to Fischer, are not Christians. Instead, Mormons are cult members. Which is meant to sound scary….but really isn't, because all religious groups are cults….all of them. Seems that Bryan Fischer heard [...]

October 20, 2011

Recently, Israel did something America does not do….negotiated with people they consider to be "terrorists"….. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli sergeant who was held captive for five years by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, was released early this morning and handed over to Egyptian officals, reports said.

My Invisible God Is Better Than Yours

October 10, 2011

There was a lot of talk over the weekend about former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's Mormon religion. This past weekend brought us the Value Voters Summit in D.C. The gathering is organized and run by mostly far right, conservative evangelical Christian leaders. The Summit's straw vote went to Ron Paul….but the hubbub from the weekend [...]

When Anti-Science Is GOP Cool

August 30, 2011

DougJ at Balloon Juice.com, discussing Rick Perry's anti-science march to the GOP presidential candidacy…. But if Perry wins the Republican nomination partly by being more anti-science than Romney—and I suspect that he will—then one way or another Paul Krugman is probably right: "[T]he odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will [...]

Let Us Prey

August 16, 2011

In April, I reported on the polling of Texas Republicans revealing that 51% of Texas GOP'ers agreed with Governor Rick Perry that "Texas may need to leave the United States." Just a reminder of what type of conservatives we're dealing with down in the Looney Star State. From April of this year also came Governor [...]

Flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes,…even multiple nuclear power station meltdowns. Mix those modern disasters with the mysterious wording of the Magic Book….and today has been predicted to be the End of Days. Like, the end of all days. Starting at 6 P.M. Pacific time, check your local listings for times in your area. Every day Mr [...]
