The good news is a woman charged with beating a transgender woman will be sentenced to prison, likely 5 years. It is a conviction under assault and hate crimes laws. It begs a question Why is it in Maryland 1st degree assault and a hate crime gets only 5 years? The silly news is that [...]

Chairman Urquhart of the Sussex County GOP Committee released a statement today titled, “Why Ban The Faith That Gave Us Freedom?” The “radical transformers” seem bent on stamping out cherished and vital traditions. Having tried to expunge “Easter,” they’re now attacking prayer before Sussex County Council meetings. All that’s left is attempting to force the [...]

Science and Religion agree that a mother and father are the best arraignment for children. Sadly, the new civil union law, which like Delaware amends the definition of the family is erupting in controversy. It is forcing Faith based organizations to adopt to gays couples. We all know that sometimes the ideal situation is not available. [...]

SB 30 passed yesterday. Missing from the argument was an emphasis on its redefining of the family. Senator Venables did expose the marriage agenda with his amendment number 1.

If you take the time to read Senate Bill 30, you will see that it amends several sections of Delaware law pertaining to the definition of family. Its advocates say that it does not change the definition of marriage, but it undeniably reshapes the legal status of the family. SB 30 bestows the rights of [...]

GOProud is a gay conservative organization. It had a booth last year at C-PAC. This year it became a participating organization involved with planning. The result has been boycotts by several organizations. It appears it is not just the GOP which has internal struggle. The movement itself does. I am not sure of the motivation [...]

The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops seem to have the same feelings the rank file displayed in the recent election. Catholic voters went Republican. The election of Archbishop Timothy Dolan over his more liberal counter part will hearten cultural conservatives of any faith. Archbishop Dolan was an original partner with Chuck Colson in the [...]

The results of the referenda in liberal Washington and Maine would suggest so. Marriage is more popular than limiting government spending.

In Maine for the thirty-first time homosexual marriage has been rejected by the voters. This has happened every single time that the issue has been put to a popular vote in thirty-one states. This is the first time that a law passed in a legislature has been repealed by the people. Other such laws were enacted [...]

The legislature foisted same sex marriage on the voters of Maine as part of the 6 for 6 campaign. PPP shows a majority of it’s voters are not enthused and the traditional marriage measure may have majority support. Tabor, the tax and spending limitation, looks a bit in trouble. You got it even before real [...]

Near Live UPDATE in Comment Section: Final Passage 14-5. Amendments had 12 opposed. As I heard it might be, the bill was rushed over to the house and passed.

The President took a baby step toward giving benefits to gay couples. I have no objection to interpreting the family leave act to allow gay couples to take care of their partners. One has to wonder why leave out other unmarried couples? What is the legal basis? The problem occurs with the statements that this [...]

The issue of Same Sex Marriage brought out a crowd even larger than the Comprehensive plan. People were not in agreement with the notion that our city should push for marriages of people who by definition can’t be marriage partners. Some opponents seemed a little over the top. “This world is on its way to [...]

Senator Adams understood that imposing needless regulation on business in this economy is unwise and so did 3 other senators. HB 5, the Lawyers Right to Sue More, bill went down to defeat after a fair vote and an open public hearing today. The defeat of HB 5 in a public vote undermines the whine [...]

There are two bills stirring some measure of controversy in the General Assembly right now. One shouldn’t be controversial at all, Senate Bill 27 which is the Marriage Protection Act. The other is House Bill 5 which is the non discrimination based on Sexual Orientation. Both bills seem to be on the fast track for [...]

The Gay movement and the Christian right seem in perpetual conflict. I wonder if that is necessary. I am a Conservative Christian. I believe the Bible is the Revealed Word of God and the rule for faith and life. I find that as debatable as the fact that the sun shines on cloudless days. God is [...]

Marriage started as an institution to bond the sexes. A renegade court tried to change it and in spite of bullies and politically correct mobs, the voters stood strong. Some extremists would like to turn CA into third world mobocracy. The mob leaders form an enemies list and instead of accepting defeat, they target those [...]
