She?s being brainwashed, but I made mine up all by myself
2008-01-11 01:05:00
Dawn Sherman, a 14 year old girl in Illinois, is suing her school due to a new law that requires a moment of silence prior to the start of class. The response is pretty much what you’d expect. Dawn has been found guilty of “forcing” her alleged beliefs on others and ...

I?ll be damned six ways to hell
2008-01-09 23:51:00
So much for Senator Obama’s staff trying to make sure he doesn’t come across as a dick slinger. His national campaign co-chairman just appeared on MSNBC where he pretty much implied that Senator Clinton’s alleged tears were faked. He also implied that they were narcissistic and that bluntly stated that Senator Clinton didn’t ...

Hip Hip Horray - Hillary Clinton Won New Hampshire
2008-01-09 17:48:00
When I woke up this morning I happily found out that Senator Clinton won New Hampshire . The reason is pretty simple, the sexism being shown by the media, the other candidates and the general population is just mind-blowing. If you think not, consider the recent media dustup about Clinton during a recent Q&A session. ...

Pope Benedict refuses to fire rapists, encourages prayers instead
2008-01-08 18:39:00
Yes, you read that right.  The pope has essentially refused to enact any policies that will, at the very least, make the Catholic church less friendly to sex predators.   Instead he’s chosen to  state that Catholics need to pray for deliverance from the rapists in their midst.  They’re also to pray that their god will ...

Conservatives mad at Fox News - think it?s corrupt
2008-01-08 17:56:00
After being denied a slot in the debates on Fox News Ron Paul held his own forum in New Hampshire.   The Paulites couldn’t resist and laid into Fox News calling it a "traitor" whose employees were "scumbags", terms usually reserved for Democrats.   Some of the saner comments: Torque wrote: Fox, Fox News, their supporters, and sponsors ...

We had abortions?
2008-01-08 16:26:00
Here’s a doozy for you. Various American men are now running about claiming that they have had abortions. How in blue hell did they accomplish this? Well, they had sex with women who have had abortions. It thoroughly boggles the mind and exposes this movement for what it ...

There must be violence against women

Just about the time you think the world couldn’t make you more ill to the stomach, along comes someone like Maged Thabet Al-Kholidy who recently authored a piece defending the practice of attacking women for (allegedly) religious reasons. His wish was to explain why men have a valid reason, if not an inescapable duty, ...

Everybody run, the Christians are getting smarter
2008-01-06 20:36:00
First they figured out that we members of the godless horde cannot be found in a church. Now they’ve went and figured out that we don’t expect to be pestered by ‘em on Sunday morning. I saw them walking about last week, but figured I was being paranoid due to lack of coffee.  So when ...

If Christians in America are persecuted
2008-01-04 18:39:00
Why can’t I stand at a public bus stop without someone telling me I need to take my daughter to church? Why have I been handed literature explaining how I need to get right with Jesus for simply entering/exiting a store, leaving a bar or just stepping onto a bus?

Because it?s fun to play ?whack a pope?

I found this clip over at Atheist Media and just had to share it. Apparently Pope Benedict decided to take a swipe at Global Warming supporters back in December by declaring that their beliefs must be based on “firm evidence” and not dubious ideology. Marcus Brigstocke of The Late Edition had this to ...

Pope Benedict has given his address for the new year and wouldn’t you know it, he decided to take shots at gay people and their allies. According to him, we are threatening "the very foundation of peace" which is the "natural family".    It’s been a recurrent theme in a lot of his speeches this past ...

The reason for the season is not Jesus
2007-12-30 16:48:00
December wouldn’t be complete without obligatory “Jesus is the reason for the season” commentary and this year it’s delivered by Ronald S. Martin of CNN. This whole push to remove Christ from the Christmas season has gotten so ridiculous that it’s pathetic. Because of all the politically correct idiots, we are being encouraged to stop saying “Merry ...
