Thirty years of railing against abortion hasn't accomplished much, has it?

Dunno, sure has got a lot of asses into polling places over the years...

man, flesh eating George Washington. . . sign me up!

An epilogue was added as well, in which 6 months after events the Franks have become vegetarians and to their shock Washington's face on the United States one-dollar bill is replaced with that of George W. Bush.

^^^ #1 reason to eat meat IMO

And I’ve thought of it now that he has slimed conservative protesters as “teabaggers.”

pretty sure they slimed themselves as this tbh

On the Fence about Marriage and Intimdated [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
An e-mail:

Your article about marriage struck a chord with me, mainly when you wrote about the brutal tactics employed against defenders of traditional marriage. I'm 26 years old and my generation holds very strong views on this topic... in my experience, mostly in support of same-sex marriage. Personally, I'm on the fence about it. But for most people my age, that is not good enough. The peer pressure to support gay marriage is enormous. Which is precisely why I refuse to give my (socially mandatory in many circles) full-throated support to it. When friends tell me it's a civil right and denying gays their "universal right to marriage" is the same as forbidding whites and blacks to marry, it makes my skin crawl . . . but I don't know how to argue against these points. I just know deep down there's something fishy about the arguments.

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated appalls me, but the reason is simple. Gay marriage activists have dehumanized them totally in their own minds, which of course justifies anything. There can be no debate; for so many people I know, the "universal right to marriage" is as settled as the law of gravity, and anyone who disagrees is evil. A big reason why I'm on the fence is because there is only one "legitimate" opinion among my peers and supporting same-sex marriage is meaningless when it's the only choice and the alternative is to be called a bigot. In the climate I live in, even to say, "Maybe they have a point" is risky and an easy way to lose a friend. I admire the courage of those on your side of the issue who take the stand publicly and accept all the heat that goes with it.

fess up, Mordy

success!

I don't know how to argue against these points. I just know deep down I'm a raging homophobethere's something fishy about the arguments.

the oppression of heterosexual christians continues

i love these transparently fake "sympathetic neutral party" kinda e-mails

a plea from the n.r.o. for reasonable political discourse

when will all the supporters of gay marriage stop their hateful generalizations?

"i'm on the fence about gay marriage. i'm not a bigot, but it just doesn't seem right. everyone around me is a big bullying homo-lover and all they talk about is gays marrying. this makes me so upset i can do nothing but write an email to kathryn jean lopez and national review."

riiiight.

it just doesn't seem right

... but it's okay

ahma get married anyway

"i don't know how i feel about this topic, so i'm going to write to National Review and express my feelings

damn every line of this is amazing

I admire the courage of those on your side of the issue who take the stand publicly and accept all the heat that goes with it.

yeah k-lo and m-gal were super close with so many fabulous friends, but, dammit, it was time to take a stand. it's been hard getting good flowers done these days, and broadway, forget it. courage has costs.

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated appalls me... Gay marriage activists have dehumanized them totally in their own minds

straight-bashing incidents in gay neighborhoods are way up

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated

i.e. nobody with any sense listens to them

I saw three straight white men getting pulled out of their cars by policemen the other day.

Lopez's reporting subjects are as diverse as feminist indoctrination in the Girl Scouts to the politics of human cloning and racial reparations and daily Beltway politics. You can read her nearly hourly at NRO's weblog, The Corner — where she is better known as "K-Lo."

"standing athwart history" bitch, please...

fess up, Mordy

lol. I'm an intimidator w/r/t gay marriage! Hardly on the fence.

(Also, irony! Writing this from the NYU Gender Department.)

I refuse to give my ... full-throated support to it.

Is this anything like deep-throated?

The Link to Terror Red Herring [Jonah Goldberg]

If you listen to the news coverage, there's a lot of concern over whether or not Hasan had "ties" to foreign Jihadist groups, primarily al Qaeda. This is obviously a serious concern and should have been investigated before Hasan murdered those people — and, of course, after as well.

But, I sometimes get the sense that some will be relieved if he had no ties to Jihadi groups and was merely a lone gunman. For some it's as if the "going postal" from stress explanation is more reassuring. Happens all the time, after all.

But isn't that the scarier scenario? I would much rather live in a world where terrorists needed to make traceable phone calls or send interceptable email to places like Yemen before they went active. A scenario of freelance terrorists who don't need technical guidance but mere ideological inspiration is much scarier both because of the vulnerablity that would imply as well as the awful climate that would create.

Update: Oh, I left out the most relevant and timely illustration of my point: The guy who was executed yesterday.

so John Allen Muhammed was a terrorist?

he was a minority who killed people, so yes

also his last name doesn't help things either, does it?
