Not Very Christian

The Catholic Church in DC is threatening to stop services for the poor and homeless if the district okays gay marriage. Sometimes you wonder if these people have ever cracked open a bible.

The conservative bible is the dumbest thing from the right this week. Which is saying a lot.

Utah Has A Problem: PORN

Sorry, but this is hilarious.

Public Abortions?

That’s the kind of thing anti-choice activists are calling for. Yes, the American Taliban was in town last week, disguised as “values voters”.

Another Romney Fail?

Mitt Romney got clobbered by Mike Huckabee at the straw poll at the “Values Voter Summit”. For the GOP, the next election is likely to come down to a fight between the bible thumpers and the Wall Street crew in order to determine who eventually gets beaten by President Obama. My guess is that Huckabee [...]

What?

The Same Right: Ralph Reed Edition

One of the continuing themes we’re seeing with the conservative movement’s attempts to recover from the last two elections is a search for leadership.

Wait, Why Should I Care?

There is apparently some controversy that Liberty University banned the Democratic club at the school. This brings to mind the question: Why are we pretending that Liberty is an actual university?

They Need Some Sort Of Electoral Victory I Guess

Conservative blogs like Newsbusters are seriously debating whether the evangelical vote determined the outcome of American Idol.
