Will The Modernists Inherit The Earth? The Dismal Prospects for Secular Liberalism

Steve Turley takes a fascinating look at the inevitable decline of liberal secularism. Part of it deals with birthrates. Here is a short excerpt. For the entire article, click the link at the end. Everywhere one looks today, it appears that proponents of secular liberalism are celebrating another social victory lap. On June 26, 2015, in a five-to-four decision, the United States Supreme Court declared that states cannot deny homosexual couples the right to marriage. The first openly gay football player, Michael Sam, was (temporarily) drafted into the NFL, and the public criticism tweeted subsequently by the Miami Dolphins’ safety Don … Continue reading Will The Modernists Inherit The Earth?

Huffington Post links Paris attacks to climate change

Huffington Post column: “Our first response should be to understand this psychological tactic, so that we don’t allow them to win. No, we do not have to be guilt-tripped into fighting these barbaric groups that slit throats, rape, torture and kill innocent civilians in the most cowardly ways possible. No, our values are strong enough to refuse to sink to their level, and instead, to turn towards reinforcing national unity against their aggression. No, we do not doubt that enlightenment and democratic progress are strong enough to stand up to such behavior, which is sending us back to prehistoric times. … Continue reading Huffington Post links Paris attacks to climate change

Why transgenderism is a problem for Hillary, feminist champion

The 2-1 vote in Houston not to allow biological men to use female bathrooms, and not to force employers to continue paying employees who decide to impersonate members of other sexes on the job, is a welcome breath of fresh air, Ben Shapiro of Breitbart reports. Shapiro writes a right-on story of how transgenderism would negate the idea of feminism, which is Hillary Clinton’s claim to fame. Shapiro’s language is crude at times, but he is right to point out that transgenderism is “fallacious.” But if any man can claim to be a woman, how does that affect feminism? FOR … Continue reading Why transgenderism is a problem for Hillary, feminist champion

Progressive website: White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States

White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States, citing a study by the New America Foundation. The Washington-based research organization did a review of “terror” attacks on US soil since Sept. 11, 2001 and found that most of them were carried out by radical anti-government groups or white supremacists. (Editor’s note: The story by Global Post goes on to say terrorism is hard to define. That’s bull hockey. They have an ax to grind. The story decries that New America Foundation did not label theater shootings as terrorism. Yes, those are terrorist acts. But last time I … Continue reading Progressive website: White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States

Pelosi defends Planned Parenthood but admits she has not seen videos she calls a hoax

Nancy Pelosi admits she hasn’t seen any of the undercover Planned Parenthood sting videos, hours of footage which is alleged to show several high level clinic administrators discussing the trafficking and illegal sales of aborted baby parts, Infowars reports. Regardless, the house minority leader is certain those who released the videos, which she denies “are real,” are likely guilty of some infraction, and require an investigation into how they “obtained” and “doctored” the videos, even though the group behind the videos, the Center for Medical Progress, have released hours of completely unedited footage.

#PopeinDC Pope Francis Fails Social Conservatives in Address to Congress

On Thursday, Pope Francis spoke before a Joint Session of Congress, where he explicitly lectured Americans on illegal immigration, redistribution of income, the death penalty, and climate change, but made only veiled references to abortion and same-sex marriage, Breitbart reports. It is no wonder President Obama was so happy to see the Pope in Washington, D.C. The Pope began his address by telling legislators that he is a “son of this great continent, from which we have all received so much and toward which we share a common responsibility.” He did not mention what responsibility other countries in our hemisphere … Continue reading #PopeinDC Pope Francis Fails Social Conservatives in Address to Congress

Kim Davis called Hitler

The American Civil Liberties Union representing four Kentucky couples contends that Mrs. Davis has altered marriage licenses — making them possibly invalid, Fox News reports. And they want her held in contempt – again. The validity of the licenses is “questionable at best,” ACLU attorneys told the Washington Post. “What’s more, the adulterated marriage licenses received by Rowan County couples will effectively feature a stamp of animus against the LGBT community, signaling that, in Rowan County, the government’s position is that LGBT couples are second-class citizens unworthy of official recognition and authorization of their marriage license but for this Court’s … Continue reading Kim Davis called Hitler

Outrage spreads as cities plan Ramadan celebrations on 9/11 | Pamela Geller

The Democratic mayors of two Michigan cities plan to celebrate September 11th this year by honoring Sharia and hosting their “9th Annual Ramadan Unity Dinner,” Pamela Geller reports in a blog. Ramadan ended in July, but the Islamic Society of Greater Lansing has scheduled its dinner at the city-owned convention center on the very day when 19 Muslim terrorists killed 2,977 innocent victims at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and three crashed airliners, 14 years ago. In an almost unbelievable act of callousness and dishonor of those victims, Mayors Virg Bernero and Nathan Triplett of Lansing and East Lansing, … Continue reading Outrage spreads as cities plan Ramadan celebrations on 9/11 | Pamela Geller
