Politics
Too Far Gone? - not your typical rant
Forgive me for breaking my own rule … I know this is not a political blog. But I can’t remain silent anymore. I HAVE to get this in written form, because I just can’t keep it inside any longer.
Let me set the mood for you, and give you an idea of what the [...]
A Democratic Theocracy
I read a variety of blogs every day. The majority of those blogs are either religious or scientific in nature, with a few exceptions for some personal blogs and some news feeds. I read VERY few political blogs, mainly because I don’t really need to. My political position can be summed up quite well in [...]
Abortion Doesn’t Matter
Oh goodness, I’m at it again!
OK, so I like to write provocative titles, sue me!
Hear me out on this one. I was talking with my uncle over the Christmas holiday, 2006, and we were discussing our political positions. I’m a Libertarian, and he’s a conservative Republican. We have many things in common, [...]
Richard Dawkins / Bill O’reilly Interview
Take a look at the following interview with Richard Dawkins on the O’reilly Factor (Bill O’Reilly’s TV show). Take a look at the video below, and read the response by a commenter at the forums at RichardDawkins.net.
Dear Mr. O’Reilly,
I wanted to respond to your recent interview with Mr. Richard Dawkins regarding Atheism. I [...]
I’m Sick of It
OK, I’ve tolerated it long enough. I’ve heard it countless times from the likes of Alan Colmes, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton.
What is it?
Let me point you to a story over at CNN to explain a little better:
I’m looking for the day when Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Joyce Meyer, James Dobson, Tony Perkins, James Kennedy, Rod [...]
Iran Hostages - Where are all the left-wing human rights groups?
If you’ve been living under or rock, or perhaps purposefully trying to avoid the constant coverage and analysis like I have, then let me catch you up on what’s going in with the kidnapping of 15 British Marines in the Persian Gulf by sending you over to Verum Serum for their analysis (be sure to [...]
Roy Spencer on Global Warming
As promised, this is the interview with the climatologist Roy Spencer. Dr. Spencer is a principal research scientist for University of Alabama in Huntsville. He has awards up and down, and is certainly not a political hack (although if you search for his name on google you will find plenty of people [...]
Atheist Congressman Praised
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Being a Libertarian makes politics so much easier
Recently, Representative Pete Stark “came out” as an atheist, making him the highest ranking public official to ever admit to his lack of belief in a deity. All over the “secular” and “humanistic” world, Stark is [...]
Global Warmin, oh my!
Notice that I put this post in both the science and politics categories, because this issue, Global Warming, IS a political issue.
Now, just because I’m a libertarian doesn’t mean that I lay aside my critical faculties in favor of “freedom at any cost”. I still want to think through every issue in detail (although [...]
Are “family values” Libertarian values?
Given the fact that I have a lot of conservative Christian readers at this blog, chances are this post is going to make a lot of you pretty mad. That’s okay though, but please don’t stop reading
In the last 2 Presidential elections, experts have attributed George W. Bush’s success to the so-called “values [...]
