Why Keep Feeding the Gay-Rights Tiger, Hoping to Be Eaten Last?

One of the things we must understand about the Left is the essentially totalitarian nature of their ambitions. There is no logical stopping point on the progressive road to the Utopia of Equality that they insist is always ahead of us, a destination never reached. Grant all their demands today, and they will return tomorrow […]

Federal Court Upholds Bloggers’ Rights

Eugene Volokh cites a ruling yesterday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Obsidian Finance Group v. Cox: The protections of the First Amendment do not turn on whether the defendant was a trained journalist, formally affiliated with traditional news entities, engaged in conflict-of-interest disclosure, went beyond just assembling others’ writings, […]

‘Emerging Awareness’ Update: Remember the Texas Polygamy Teen Sex Cult?

You have perhaps forgotten the 2008 “underage sex cult” case in which Texas authorities seized 416 children at the Laredo compound of the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Facts I noted at the time were that (a) Texas led the nation in teen pregnacy, and (b) in 2005 Texas raised […]

Texas Appeals Court: It’s OK to Talk Dirty to Kids, Because … Shakespeare!

Apparently, the Court sees no distinction between Shakespeare, a Miley Cyrus video and obscene text messages: Talking dirty to minors, just like Miley Cyrus “twerking” on MTV or Janet Jackson having a “wardrobe malfunction” during prime time, is constitutionally protected free speech, the highest criminal court in Texas ruled Wednesday.

States’ Rights: OK for Dopeheads; Hateful Hillbilly Bible-Thumpers, Not So Much

A headline that included the word “butt-f*ckers” — without the asterisk — crossed my mind here. However, because Ace of Spades is on a tear against the deliberate troll-baiting at Slate, I passed it up. Anyway, the re-election of President Obama meant that the gay agenda would be imposed top-down by executive authority, and the Internal […]

Recusing Myself On Recent Events, Let Me Bring Up A Point About Tiananmen Square

by Smitty In the first place, the United States government is not a line of Type 59 tanks. In the second place, recent headline twerps are not Tank Man, staring down the barrel of tyranny. The question to ask is: what constitutes heroism? It strikes me that, if in a situation where the government is […]
