Glitter Ash Wednesday?

Hamilton: What would Alinsky Do?

The Astonishingly Simple Explanation for the Trump 2005 Video

From August 2001 through September 2009, Donald Trump was a registered Democrat, prone to the same licentiousness as the likes of William Jefferson Clinton.  So why do his past "vulgar" comments from that period surprise anyone? ...

Everything You Have Been Told about Gayness and Gender Is Wrong

You haven’t been told the truth. You have been subjected to relentless sophistry and lies. We have been told over and over again that gays, lesbians, and transgenders are “born that way.” Science, in fact, makes no such cla...

The Grand Pretension: Genderlessness and Genderless Marriage

When a man and a woman make love, the miracles of conception and birth are possible. When two men attempt the same, the most glorious result possible is an anal discharge of semen mixed with fecal matter.  Yet in our current age, the intell...

The Judiciary and Same-Sex Marriage Contagion

Totalitarianism and the Silence of the Lambs

A few days ago, a prominent attorney asked me a question: can religious liberty and the growing demands of government and others occupy the same space?  And if not, who wins? This is, perhaps, not quite the right question. Dr. Hanniba...

PHOTOS: Yesterday's Right to Life March in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Senate voted to award a $174,000 tax-free "death gratuity" to the widow of New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg, who was one of the richest members of Congress. Thanks to the "Obama/Reid 'no negotiation' government shutdown," we all learned...

From American Exceptionalism to American Exemptionalism

Obamacare's problems are legion.  As much fun as it would be to do so, I won't recite the litany of  exemptions, delays, and major "glitches."  Let the judgment of the law's primary author, Senator Max Baucus, suffice: ObamCare's imple...

How to Get Away with Political Violence
