3 CommentsA “Tug”
I have been wanting to put my thoughts on a couple of things down here for a while, but I wanted to mull them over longer first. My wife posted a blog on her site about something that we’d sort of talked briefly about, but something that interests us both. I’m not sure how to...

Comments OffIf Jesus were a politician… today?
Mulling some things over today, in my general irritation with politics, bosses and well the world in general I had a question pop in my mind. Would Jesus be a Democrat or a Republican? I believe he’d be a Democrat if he had to be anything, but likely would not affiliate with any party unless...

The Journal has an interactive media map that has information about Gay/ Couple rights in all states, and mentions efforst the Feds are working on to take Gay rights to a Federal level.

Comments OffGay Marriage is a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE!!
I had thought to write here about something cheerful, something positive, but to be honest I’ve been too pissed off to think of anything to write tonight except about the subject matter that is pissing me off. Maine voted down Same Sex Marriage. There is speculation in the media that the Latter Day Saints are...

Comments OffLove and Hate: Gay Marriage is a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. NOT Religious.
The same sex marriage debate continues, just as years ago it was a black and white issue, a race issue, this time it’s a sexuality issue… either way it amounts to discrimination and is a CIVIL rights issue. The opponents to Gay Marriage use religion as their back up, their reasoning… but they seem to...

Comments OffRules of War
Reading through news articles today, I am struck with a bit of wonder at the media’s supposition that there are ‘rules’ to war. I know the UN has laid down some such rules and guidelines, but really how realistic is it? The US media is ranting about the loss of civilian life in Gaza… which...

Comments OffAnd so…
There is a lot in the news I could comment on… from Bush, to Israel, to Obama. President Bush’s final press conference was a surprise to me. I was impressed by his determination not to let anyone bring him to say a single negative thing about the President Elect. He proved to be bigger than...

1 CommentTossing Shoes and Ducks.
Funny what makes the news and what doesn’t. Granted Bush getting two size ten shoes thrown at him, while funny, was not a major crisis by any means. But you gotta hand it to the so called ‘lame duck’ president; he handled it with humor and candor. He’s proven in his last year of presidency...

4 CommentsConstitutionally Challenged.
The conservatives of this country are worried about losing one of their constitutional rights because of the election of a majority of liberals, including the new President Elect Barack Obama. It seems like every time we turn around there is someone telling others how to behave, live, exist, and what they’re rights are, or should...

2 CommentsProp. 8 Supporters to Ban/ Boycott
I didn’t write this but I am sharing it here. I found it on Myspace and other places on the web where it’s circulating like wild fire…. and needs to be. Prop 8 Supporters: Donors to the fight against Proposition 8 in California received a lot of attention and accolades for their generosity. Celebrities like...
