Looks like the Obama Administration has responded to objections to it’s anti-religious liberty HHS mandate by expanding its reach: In a move that is likely to reignite the ire of religious leaders, late Friday afternoon the Obama administration announced a proposal that would require universities, including religious universities, to provide contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs …
Hugh Hewitt: Nothing shocks when anything goes
Here is an excellent column from Hugh Hewitt at The Washington Examiner on standards of public discourse. We especially liked this part: There is one standard for all commentary, and it ought to apply to Palin and Ms. Fluke, to President Obama and President Bush, to Justice Thomas and to Justice Kagan. So credit nothing …

President Obama, Commissar Sebelius, and many others believe in …

From The New York Times, “Rally Raises Anew Question of the Boundaries of Perry’s Faith“: Few political figures in America have so consistently and so unabashedly intermingled their personal faith and their public persona, peppering speeches with quotations from Scripture, speaking from the pulpit at churches, regularly meeting and strategizing with evangelical Christians and even, …

Breaking News from 1517: Lutheran Church “Anti-Catholic”
This story from James Oliphant at the Los Angeles Times is just hilarious. It just shows such a glaring ignorance of basic Christian history and theology he should be embarrassed. But he obviously doesn’t know enough to be embarrassed. Taking a page from President Obama’s political playbook, Michele Bachmann has formally left a church in …
Governor says he’s a Christian, media, activists outraged
Occasionally, some public figure will say something perfectly in line with traditional Christianity, and the forces of “tolerance” in America, in the media, professional grievance groups, bloggers, etc, will react in horror and outrage.

Another race-baiting preacher at Barack Obama’s church
The blog post from Politico containing this video of Father Michael Pfleger “preaching” at Barack Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago is titled “Mocking Hillary at Trinity”, but the mockery of Hillary is hardly the worst part of the clip. The diatribe about “white privilege” (as if all white people have trust funds) …

Earth Hour, Extreme Edition
Next Page »
In another meaningless symbolic gesture of the sort we expect from the left, people all over the world were encouraged yesterday to turn off their lights for an hour to “inspire people to take action on climate change”. An hour? One measly hour? That’s nothing. We turned off all our lights all day yesterday. We …
