Column: Michael Sam Saga Proof That Leftist Thought Police Are On a Te
May 13th, 2014 11:18 PM

Note to those waiting for an excuse to…

May 13th, 2014 4:25 PM

And it's part of…

WashPost Promotes Gay Marriage in Virginia With 'Aggressively Normal
May 12th, 2014 2:18 PM
The Washington Post is quite explicit: It’s a publicity organ for the gay lobby. They put the fight for gay marriage in Virginia on the front page Monday – and on the front page of the Style section. In about 3,000 words of reporting, there’s not a single social conservative named and quoted in it. There's no debate, only the inevitable and "historic" winners.

WashPost's 'Mr. Manners' Favors Dan Savage, Alec Baldwin on Gay Matter
May 2nd, 2014 6:29 PM
Regardless of what The Washington Post says, its “Civilities” advice column is not primarily about manners. It's a political correctness column, about adjusting to the new intolerance of anything that doesn’t offer complete acceptance of the gay agenda.
Steven Petrow isn’t really for “manners” when it comes to conservatives or religious traditionalists. On his Facebook page, he praised a “…

April 30th, 2014 1:33 PM
Donald Sterling, the beleaguered owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has been banned from the NBA for life.

April 21st, 2014 1:30 PM
On Sunday's This Week on ABC, CNN's S.E. Cupp called on social conservative Christians to drop their opposition to same-sex "marriage" and adoption: "I will say conservatives have got to move on gay marriage....[and] on gay adoption.

MSNBC's Gripe: 'Gay Couples Feel Tax Wrath
April 15th, 2014 6:35 PM
Tax Day, April 15, is a perfect day for a news organization to publish stories about tax reform debates, including the notion that perhaps we should do away with a national income tax and replace it with a national sales tax. Perhaps instead we should have a flat tax with very few, if any, deductions, credits, and all kinds of other exemptions which gum up the tax code.
A sensible news…
