Florida leads the country in death row exonerations. It certainly makes sense that Representative Matt Gaetz would prefer to make executions quicker. Anyone who can think should come to the conclusion that is quite the opposite result a logical thinking person would come to. If Florida has such a problem obtaining correct verdicts in capital… Continue reading

My Favorite Blogs
I spend a good portion of my day reading political blogs, for which I used to use Google Reader. Since Google announced Readers demise a few months ago, I’ve since switched to Feedly and, while it’s visually pleasing with it’s magazine style layout, I do miss the simplicity of Reader. What blogs do I read?… Continue reading
Purpose of Marriage
If the purpose of a marriage is to produce offspring, what about barren women? What about sterile men? Should these people not be allowed to marry or be forced to divorce because they are unable to produce offspring? How are these people any different from any other type of couple incapable of reproducing? They are… Continue reading

Tolerance and Inclusion Move us Forward
On Easter Sunday, I read this article. I am baffled at how close minded people can be. I experience it every day and yet, it still surprises me. It is indeed a more sophisticated, high-tech form of idolatry—one where we worship the gods of “tolerance” and “inclusivity,” which in turn marginalize the one true God,… Continue reading

Sanctity of Marriage
We must protect the sanctity of marriage! Sound familiar? It seems to be the constant rhetoric of those who wish to live without equal rights for all. For some reason, a 50% divorce rate and infidelity within marriage creates some sort of sanctity with which we dare not mess. Florida is dragging its feet on… Continue reading
Maryland is 18th State to Ban Capital Punishment
It’s no secret I adamantly oppose capital punishment. Our justice system is not precise enough to allow the ultimate the punishment, the only punishment that, once carried out, cannot be given any sort of reparation. The statistics showing wrongfully convicted in our judicial system are astounding and should be sufficient to convince any logical thinking individual that… Continue reading
A Living Document
I am a firm believer in the theory that the Constitution is a living document. What does this mean? This means I subscribe to the theory that allows the document and, therefore, the laws of the land, to mold to present day society. “This idea for a very long time was just laughed at,” said… Continue reading
