Computer model predicts Hawaii gay marriage ban loses support in 2010
By Selected News Articles @ 7:01 PM :: 9439 Views :: Environment, Ethics
|
...while you might know it from Proposition 8's victory last year, voter initiatives to ban gay marriage are becoming harder and harder to pass every year.....
(This analysis is flawed by its reliance on 'white evangelicals' since in Hawaii opposition to gay marriage comes from evangelicals of all ethnic backgrounds. Also in California, opposition to Prop 8 came from black and Hispanic precincts. But the bottom line is the same. Church-goers better start registering to vote in the same percentages that union members do.)
(Be sure to check out the videos of West Hollywood gay protesters shouting the n-word after the approval of Prop 8.)

Taking Communism away from the Communists: The Origins of Modern American Liberalism
By Selected News Articles @ 11:20 AM :: 11641 Views :: National News, Ethics, World News, Family
|
The best short credo of liberalism came from the pen of the literary historian Vernon Parrington in the late 1920s. "Rid society of the dictatorship of the middle class," Parrington insisted, referring to both democracy and capitalism, "and the artist and the scientist will erect in America a civilization that may become, what civilization was in earlier days, a thing to be respected."

Obama's Birth Certificate: Why the controversy won't go away (hilarious)
By Selected News Articles @ 7:48 PM :: 23928 Views :: Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics, World News, Family
|
ED NOTE: Front Page Magazine today posted the Hawai`i Free Press article "Barack Obama, born in Hawaii"--debunking conspiracy theories swirling around Barack Obama's Hawaii birth certificate. The following was posted by an anonymous commenter "DadBode" in the comments section and we thought it was so spot-on and funny that it deserves wider exposure. For readers working in State offices who have taken birth-certificate-related phone calls, this should be of special interest.
