Hallmark recognizes gay marriage
“Two hearts. One promise,” reads a newly released greeting card from Hallmark. The nation’s top greeting card company has decided to roll out a line of new “same-sex wedding” cards.

21. August 2008
In this audio clip taken from YouTube, then State Senator Barack Obama coldly claims two doctors helping a baby born alive after a botched abortion would be a burden for the aborting mother.

16. August 2008
At today’s Saddleback Church forum, Barack Obama stumbled in a huge way when asked about his position on abortion. The media hasn’t made too much of this yet, but I think we may have seen the single quote of this campaign that energizes the Republican base for John McCain. Here it is, in case you [...]

24. July 2008
This is a fairly interesting article from the Washington Post about the Chinese Communist Party’s perspective on what Obama’s candidacy means for race in the United States - and, whether it means we’re farther ahead than China in terms of crossing some social differences.

This reeks of South Africa or Jim Crow laws over a generation ago in the United States: Hong Kong’s English newspaper The South China Morning Post reported Friday that Chinese authorities have issued a secret ban on blacks, Mongolians and other "social undesirables" from Beijing’s bars during the Olympics.

23. July 2008
It looks like the status of the DADT rule in place since the Clinton Administration might be in question. Democrats in the House Armed Services Committee are proposing lifting the ban on homosexuals in the military altogether, saying it reflects a change in American values and that the old prohibition is antiquated. According to a recent [...]

21. July 2008
After his creative comments a couple of weeks ago concerning Barack Obama, why is Jesse Jackson still in charge of an organization which professes to work for the interests of the less fortunate in society? Can he honestly claim to not be taking a completely hypocritical perspective? Let’s itemize the ways: Whispering a desire to perform [...]

21. July 2008
A couple of Nazi nutcases in Britain have gone to trial over their prohibited speech (you fill in their loathsome comments here) and have been found guilty, at which point they immediately hopped a plane to Los Angeles, where they presumably figured they’d be in less trouble. Now, I’m nothing if not unsympathetic to racism. At [...]
