"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Sodomy Is Not Pro-Life

Just pointing that out for the benefit of Andrew Sullivan who claims to be Catholic — e.g., his post about Epiphany — and seizes upon Ross Douthat’s pro-life column today to make a plea for “expanding adoption opportunities.” Nudge. Nudge. While it’s tragic, I suppose, that Sully isn’t a zillionaire rock star who can afford […]

‘If We Go Back to Darfur, These Arabs
Will Shoot Us, They Will Kill Us’

From an Associated Press story about the Jan. 9 referendum for South Sudanese independence: While some Arab northerners have been selling their southern homes and businesses to move north, Darfuris say they have no plans to leave. “If we go back to Darfur, these Arabs will shoot us, they will kill us,” Adam said. Now […]

OMFG: Katy Couric Says, ‘Maybe We Need a Muslim Version of ‘The Cosby Show’

Yes, she really said that. When I heard the audio Steve Foley posted at the Minority Report, I could scarcely believe it. How could anyone — even Katie Couric — be so incredibly stupid as to say this aloud? “Maybe we need a Muslim version of ‘The Cosby Show.’ . . . I know it […]

She’s More Catholic Than the Pope

Lisa Graas wants to update the “about” page on her blog, and is looking for commendations from other bloggers, so there’s mine. Lisa always kids me about the fact that among the top referrers to her blog, it’s a bunch of hardcore Catholics and me. Being a pro-life Protestant (and father of six) probably explains that. […]

Look Up the Word ‘Puerile’ . . .

. . . and you’ll find a photo of Rick Gervais, who is solicited by the Wall Street Journal to contribute a column, “A Holiday Message from Ricky Gervais: Why I’m An Atheist.” A Freudian would have a field day with a column in which Gervais rambles on and on about being an 8-year-old boy […]

Truth or Hate?

“Telling uncomfortable truths about homosexual behavior is not an act of hate. . . . The SPLC slander of Christian organizations is a troubling shift; instead of being focused on actions, we now are told that certain facts are disallowed in public discourse because they bear negatively on the political agenda and sensitivities of a […]

Sexist Racist Hate Group Exposed

Yeah, I’m talking about al-Qaeda: Back in 1949, Sayyid Qutb, the ideological father of al-Qaeda, spent the better part of the year studying education in Greely, Colorado. Greely, at the time, was the kind of town you’d expect neo-fundamentalists to approve of: its puritanical city government, notably, had outlawed booze. But it wasn’t conservative enough […]

Report: ‘Issues of Culture, Ethnicity and Identity’ Raised in U.K. Rape-Gang Case

A report on the sexual exploitation of British girls as young as 12 by a gang led by two 28-year-old Muslim men found that cultural issues were “a critical factor in making [the victims] easy targets for abusers.” Official agencies “missed opportunities” to protect two victims of the gang, according to the newly released report by the Derbyshire […]
