More on Eich’s “resignation”
If you want to read two wonderful pieces on the subject of Eich’s resignation and the movement that led to it, start with this one, from whence comes this excerpt: This is NOT about Prop 8, gay marriage and religion. … Continue reading →
Brendan Eich and the gay marriage zealots
[NOTE: In my earlier post today on the Charles Koch piece at the WSJ, I mentioned that I couldn’t get through the firewall to the article. Since then, the WSJ has kindly removed it from behind the wall, and this … Continue reading →
Understanding the significance of McCutcheon: campaign finance and the history of free speech protection
I must confess that the McCutcheon case that was decided by SCOTUS yesterday rested on an area of law with which I wasn’t all that familiar. One of the big questions yesterday’s ruling raised for me was: if campaign contributions … Continue reading →
Keeping the younger generation dumb and happy—it’s working!
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It’s a winning combination, along with ignorance, and it may keep the liberals and left in power through thick and thin, despite a few temporary setbacks (2014, anyone?). It used to be that ignorant … Continue reading →

Jim Crow—not
The constant comparisons of Arizona’s now-defunct effort (SB 1062) to protect the religious rights of vendors to refuse to be part of gay marriage ceremonies to southern Jim Crow laws requiring de jure discrimination against blacks represent a tower of … Continue reading →
The bell tolls not just for D’Souza
The D’Souza case: a warning to all who would challenge or offend Obama. You’ll be next. The activities with which he’s charged are unlikely to have been uncovered in a “routine review,” as John Hinderaker writes at Powerline: Here is … Continue reading →
The human cost: Korea
These heartbreaking photos say it all. Actually, I’m sure they don’t say it all, but they say an awful lot. What abysmal cruelty, for North Korea to reduce families to this situation: Their backs stooped, dozens of elderly North and … Continue reading →
Gay marriage and liberty: on the slippery slope
A law protecting the rights of vendors to refuse to provide services to same sex-couples in the context of marrying or celebrating their marriages was passed in the Kansas House and killed in the Kansas Senate. So it’s now moot, … Continue reading →
