You described gay marriage as "a policy position that could affect the entire nation." Yet you've shown little interest in treating it as an important concern that ought to be addressed seriously. Doesn't this deserve critical analysis and debate beyond how rude people have been to you?
This week, Facebook went public with the third largest IPO in history. On the downside of the ledger, Moody's downgraded more than three-dozen Spanish and Italian banks, and JPMorgan's trading losses zoomed past the original $2 billion estimate. On the political front, a pro-Romney super-PAC's plan to disentomb the Reverend Wright scandal made headlines. Some might question the wisdom of those backing a candidate who is an elder in a church known for magic underwear, baptizing dead people and a belief that Jesus visited America making religion a campaign issue -- but in a world where single-mom Bristol Palin shamelessly moralizes about the value of kids "growing up in a mother/father home," all bets are off. The controversy prompted Romney to deliver the quote of the week, saying of his stance on Reverend Wright: "I'm not familiar with precisely what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was." Mitt, check your Facebook timeline!
Spare me the line about how your anti-gay views are unassailable because they're your firmly held religious beliefs. It's utterly hollow. Hate wrapped in the name of God is still hate.
Sin is not about breaking rules. Rather, it is resistance to the creative power of God. Those who thought that they were on the side of God are revealed to be profoundly wrong. We might even call them hypocrites.
Bristol Palin's child lives in a single-parent home, and she is about to exploit him for her own financial gain. Nevertheless, she is telling me that I cannot legalize my 16-year relationship with my partner because kids are better off with two parents.
It's bullying to dismiss our rights simply by uttering the word "tradition." It's bullying to assume that excluding us from marriage demands no more justification than merely vomiting out your opinion. And pretending to be the victim after you've attacked our families is the act of a bully.
Today President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing 3 million slaves. Critics of the President were quick to condemn his action. The town crier shouted that that this was further evidence of the President's war on families.
If Rush Limbaugh was within his First Amendment rights to attack Sandra Fluke on the national airwaves, why wasn't Bill Maher within his rights to attack her from his platform?
It's really not OK that a family that made its name in politics by rallying against the so-called "media" gets to bathe in the lucrative limelight of reality television not once, but three times.
Sarah Palin may think she has what it takes to be President, but shouldn't she prove she has what it takes by at least negotiating peace in her war wi...
We started this week with two major scandals rocking either side of the Atlantic
Co-written with novelist Nick Hornby, "A Working Day" is Ben Folds' commentary on popularity and hipness that skewers its topic while calling out the internet, blogs, and other social media in the process.
Bristol's memoir is neither a cautionary nor mildly entertaining tale. It is a glorification of social underachievement of the worst order.
Bristol Palin had an underdeveloped lower jaw with a resultant malocclusion and overbite that could not be treated with braces.
Bristol Palin is back in the news. She has admitted to having corrective jaw surgery. But some people don't seem to buy it. Now I have no idea if she ...
Despite the criticism we have received, it was worth every penny to involve Bristol Palin in our efforts to generate a national dialogue on teen pregnancy.
