Liberals and Sex Just Go Together
Kevin McCollough's piece "Why Liberals Lie About Sex" is only news in that we're still wondering why they lie about it. As a rule, liberals operate under the assumption that a fulfilled life is a sexually active life, be they married or (for many the preferred state) not. It's been that way as long as …
If You Want to Force a Moral Issue, Send In the British
Surprises never cease in the world, least of all the news that the Dutch are having second thoughts about their wide open society to the point that they have a conservative Christian party in the government and are starting to backtrack on much of the open sex and drugs that have made the Netherlands legendary. …

Considering Things Carefully
The great Chinese author Lu Xun said that "Everything requires careful consideration if one is to understand it." This certainly applies to the back and forth with Liam over same sex marriage and adoption. Characterising it as a debate is a stretch; from this side, it looks more like a barrage of name-calling, ad hominem …
Al Gore III Gets Caught Speeding 100 MPH

The recent Supreme Court decision of Meredith v. Jefferson County Public Schools looks to reverse a long history of decisions about the role of race in allocating public school students to achieve equality of education. The fact that there are people on both sides of the racial divide who agree with this decision is important …
A Tale of Two Iraqs
While doing research on other matters, I stumbled upon the following map, which dates just before World War I: On the left, where one would expect it, is "Irak [sic] Arabi," between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. But, if you look to the left, south of Teheran, you will see "Irak Ajemi" right in the …
What They Really Don’t Like is the Chastity. Don’t Like the Free Speech Either.
The sad case of British teenager Lydia Playfoot's fight to wear a chastity ring at her school is just one more sign that secularists are taking aim primarily at Christianity. In this case, they are going for the issue that is most important to them: chastity vs. unrestricted sexual activity. Start by stating the obvious: …
