An Unconstitutional Presidency and the (Non) Defense of Marriage
Obama’s stance is at odds with most African-Americans’ for whom support of the classic Christian definition of marriage and opposition to homosexual behavior “is stronger among African-Americans than among any other racial demographic of our citizenry. Continue reading

Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor – Super Legislator?
The success of Proposition 8 shows that the California Supreme Court overreached back in May and was slapped down by the voters – just as President Jackson once slapped down Chief Justice Marshall (not Jackson’s best moment, but a good example of the effective limits of judicial authority).
In the wake of the disastrous Dred Scott decision, it took two decades and the patient work of a new generation of justices to rebuild the Supreme Court’s moral authority. These consequences ought to be warning for those members of the Supreme Court and nominees who may consider themselves to be some kind of super-legislature to humble themselves a bit and stick to interpreting the law and Constitution as written.

HR 1913 CONGRESSIONAL INSANITY UPDATE: Hating, Harassing, Thought-Control, Intimidation, and, Speech-Chilling
It is often not opinionated heterosexuals doing the hating, harassing, thought-control intimidation and speech chilling these days, but militant homosexual activists. Lovers of free speech and free exercise of religion should awaken to the relentless effort of radical homosexual activists to validate their lifestyle by demonizing, criminalizing and silencing those who disagree with them.

Wir sind alle Mormonen (We are all Mormons)
The whole anti-Proposition 8 protest thuggery aimed at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has seemed to me to be misguided at best. The following article (WE ALL ARE MORMONS….by Rabbi Shifren) sums it up best, especially … Continue reading
California Proposition 8 and the teachings of Jesus Christ
Apparently the large majority of voters in California still agree with my view. After all, in the year of Obamamania, gay marriage proponents had the best chance they may ever have to succeed, and they came up short. Continue reading
