Proposition 8 Trial: Day 6 Update
Why are we even having the marriage debate in court at all? After all, California has had this debate twice already–and rejected counterfeit marriage. This case is filled with a lot of emotionalism, but cases are supposed to be decided on the facts and the evidence, not on how someone feels about this or that.
Taxpayer Funding for Teen Challenge Causes Stir
Two prominent leaders of the separation of church and state debate recently argued whether it is “alarming” that a self-described para-church ministry has received millions in government funds for its drug treatment program. Teen Challenge, an evangelical Christian recovery program, is at the center of a “church and state” debate.
Study: Head Start Program a Waste of Money
A number of studies have shown that pre-K just doesn’t provide the bang for the buck, and several studies have found negative behavioral consequences for children who are placed in such programs. Yet liberals aren’t about to allow things like facts, logic and reality get in the way of their desire to separate children from their parents at an earlier age. So it is timely that a study on the Head Start program has just been released from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Scott Brown-Martha Coakley Election Sees Illegal Campaign Activity
Election day in Massachusetts’ seems to be getting off to a Leftist start–you know, one with illegal activity going on in the open. Liberals have already telegraphed to us their desire to play fast and loose with the law, with rough-and-tumble politics, desires to vote multiple times, and to buy votes. Can the will of the people prevail in this important election today?
The State of the Nation: “I am afraid”
Ominous developments in America have been a long time coming, in part precipitated by “we the people”—a citizenry that has been asleep at the wheel for too long. And while there have been wake-up calls, we have failed to heed the warnings. We have lost our moral compass. A growing number of our young people now see no meaning or purpose in life. And we no longer have a sense of right and wrong or a way to hold the government accountable.
The Other Side of Global Warming Hysteria
”Global Warming: The Other Side” hosted by John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, gives you some of the history of the theory of man-made global warming. You will also hear from scientists who don’t believe in it, and how data is being manipulated and even ignored in order to get people to believe in AGW.

Proposition 8 Trial: Day 5 Update
The testimony Friday demonstrated why the Proposition 8 case should not be in federal court and should rather be left to debate in the public square. The voters of California had this debate in the fall of 2008, and a solid majority, more than 7 million Californians, wisely decided to add a marriage protection amendment to the state constitution.
Haggling Over Price
No matter how he tries to spin it, the legislation that Senator Nelson voted for does not contain unequivocal language barring federally-funded abortions. It’s bad enough that he–along with senators from other states also receiving sweetheart deals in exchange for their votes on the bill–is willing to stick the rest of the American taxpayers with a financial burden that should be shared equitably by all states. What’s more reprehensible is that he was willing to abandon his longstanding position as an advocate for the unborn in exchange for political pork.
