"Yes Virginia..." Part II

From one of my favorite columnists, Dr. Walter E. Williams of George Mason University

Let Me See...Which Letter?

I have to admit I'm looking at this tempest in the Senate and I hear the cry "Separation of church and state" ad naseum. But, I only hear it from the lefty pukes (they are are not liberals. They are libertines and lefties). Well, just a bit of research and here is the letter
( www.usconstitution.net/jeffwall.html ) from which that phrases emanates. Now, the question I pose is how is it that the lefty pukes take this single letter, a private letter, to a private recipient, as gospel (pun intended)as original intent for the 1st Amendment and apply this letter as original intent and are absolutely inflexible as to it's meaning and YET, they completely ignore The Federalist Papers as evidence of original intent and claim the Constitution is a living document. Except of course where this one letter proscribes resolute and intragsigent original intent.
Ah yes. The intent buffet.

Is this a fight worth fighting?

People have asked why this fight over the judiciary is important. Here is a stellar reason why this battle over the judiciary is not only necessary, but it is vital to the survival of our children and this country!

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/0405/27obscene.html

A Georgia law that prohibits "obscene" phone calls was struck down yesterday by the Georgia Supreme Court. Now, I can hear you saying "what business of it is the government's if 2 consenting adults want to carry on a lewd conversation?" Well friends, the case before the Georgia Supreme Court was brought by a 17 year old who made a series of collect obscene calls to a 14 year old girl that he met over the internet! Oh did I mention that he made those calls while he was in jail? The case was brought about when the mother got the phone bill and had the audacity to ask her daughter what the calls were about. Imagine that, a parent getting involved in their minor childs life?!?!?!?

This is why the judiciary is such an important issue.

The "Disappearing" Wall

I ran across this little beauty this morning.

Apparently the New York Times has issues with politicians speaking at a church. Unless, it is their politicians speaking in a church - then they are surprisingly silent (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58834-2004Oct24.html).

It's just another one of those things that make you go "hmmmmmmmm"

Otay 'Panky...Let's Start:"Yes Virginia, There is a Social Security Trust Fund"

A great article:
http://www.fee.org/vnews.php?nid=6843
And so the debate is on. And in the words of an elected official friend of mine "If we can't tackle Social Security, we have no hope to address Medicare." And Medicare, my fellow Americans, makes Social Security small potatoes. Very small potatoes.

Moby - "Making" a child gay

I found an article that is most telling about our friends on the left and how they don’t even believe the lies that they tell themselves (and us) to try to justify their actions. The article is an interview of the recording artist Moby. The interviewer is a reporter for the g/l/b/t publication Planet Out. Now before you start to worry about me, I found out about this article via World Net Daily News. It’s not necessarily that I distrust WND’s news reporting, but I always like to read things like this to get the full context of a quote.

Having prefaced it…here is the question that leads to the telling quote (emphasis in the answer is mine).


[Laughing.] That's so funny. But this next question isn't. You have always been very pro-gay, but you were gay-bashed in Boston a few years back, simply because your attackers thought you were gay. I was thinking about what kind of effect that must have had on you, but I was also wondering about what kind of an effect being gay-bashed would have on someone who was really homophobic, like 50 Cent. I wonder, if the same thing happened to him, whether it would change his outlook on gays.

I don't know, because homophobia is something I've never understood. I mean, discrimination and prejudice in general are things I don't understand, but homophobia? I've grown up in New York and spent most of my life hanging out in gay nightclubs, so I don't understand how anyone can be offended by gay culture or homosexuality in general.

As a matter of fact, I was talking to my friend Laura, who sings on the record, and we're both getting to the point where we want to start families. We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead.

YOU READ IT RIGHT MY FRIENDS!!! According to Moby, homosexuals are made, not born. The reporter from Planet Out made no move to correct him!!!!! For years, the people who have been pushing the gay rights agenda have told us repeatedly that being gay is “normal” and “natural” and “the way that God made me”. As you can see, according to Moby (and the reporter in question), that is not the case. But then again, some of us could have told you that…..
