If logic is not on your side, try hysteria.

It never ceases to amaze me how the right continues to rely on obfuscation and misdirection in their pathetic fight against the “homosexual agenda.” Men of supposed intelligence make remarks that have little or nothing to do with reality and rely instead on misinformation and stirring fear and hysteria in their listeners. The latest to [...]

I hears voices.

Have you ever been pondering some course of action and a thought pops into your head suggesting a different possibility? You ponder this new idea a moment and think, “Nah, it’ll be fine.” Then when all is said and done you stop and think: “I should have done it the other way.”
What is this “little [...]

“Neener neener neener”

Folks, I think the joke is on us. Saddam Husien did have chemical weapons and actually was able to use them against us without us even being aware of it. And what, you may ask, is the result of these weapons? Everyone seems to have become blindingly juvenile.

Praise for Madonna

Recently Madonna decided not to release anti-war video to promote her song “American Life.” “It was filmed before the war started, and I do not believe it is appropriate to air it at this time,” she said. “Due to the volatile state of the world and out of sensitivity and respect for our armed forces, [...]

The War in Iraq

Do we belong in Iraq? That is a good question. For me it is a difficult one. It must be nice to be the radical right where “righteous indignation” and the “wrath of God” are easy fall back positions. Equally easy would be the radical left who fire indiscriminate volleys from the safety of their [...]

Personal Integrity

Read an article today about a young Marine who is trying to obtain conscientious objector status now that his unit has been activated to be sent to Iraq. He claims to be a pacifist and a regular attendee of anti-war rallies. O. K. I have just one question: “What are you doing joining the Marines?” [...]
