Flame Bait

Whoa. This is definitely going to stir up a lot of responses. Jill at the World Magazine Blog writes:
Nationally syndicated radio show host Dennis Prager poses five questions that non-Muslims want answered in the wake of Muslim riots in France and the bombings in Jordan. Here are two of the five: Why are none of [...]

This is the second in my series of UC Berkeley signs missing letters. Find the first here.
I think this picture is appropriately timed, considering the recent elections in Great [...]

Random Tidbits

I’m about as “fuck the status quo, change the dominant paradigm” as you can get. I think what the US did in Iraq was totally illegal, and that Bushie and his gang of international thugs should be treated just like we treated the Nazis after WWII: a perfunctory trial, then hangings all around. If I [...]

(14:00:44) JTShoes101: you might even be worse than bush!!!
I don’t know whether to take that comment as an insult or compliment.
Some people may take offense at my conservative views. I don’t believe in abortion. I don’t believe in gay marriage. I do believe in moral guidance. I do believe in individual responsibility; there should be [...]

Bush Wins!

Senator Kerry has conceded defeat to President Bush. Even though I didn’t get to vote (more on that later), I’m obviously quite pleased with the results.
Oh, and in other news, it appears that the state same-sex marriage ban propositions have been overly successful.

I want to remind people listening tonight that a plan is not a litany of complaints, and a plan is not to lay out programs that you can’t pay for.
President George W. Bush

Noooooooooo!

It seems that the Federal Marriage Amendment is going to die in the Senate. I would really hate to see that happen - it would be a great victory for those who support homosexual unions. Courts across the nation will take it as a signal that laws allowing homosexual unions will go unopposed. Yikes.
I just [...]

Fahrenheit 9/11

I find it ironic that I’m writing my belated review of Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 on July 4, the day Americans choose to celebrate their independence and their core values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The irony is that many people consider Michael Moore’s movie to be unpatriotic. They think that by attacking [...]

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 today. If you don’t get the reference, my explanation (and review of the movie) will be forthcoming.
