Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Gay marriage is not legal! You can’t force me to accept gay marriage, that’s a violation of my Constitutional rights! I have the right to associate or not and I don’t want to associate with those people! I’m certain you have heard those or similar comments at some… Continue reading

Labor Day 2013
Today is Labor Day. Like most of you, we’re not working. Maybe we’re out back grilling. Maybe we’re on our buddy’s boat. Maybe we’re watching golf. It’s quite possible we’re doing all of these. Let’s remember the meaning of Labor Day: to remember the working man… by not working! Check out America’s Favorite Labor Day… Continue reading
We Don’t Always have to Agree
Really, we don’t. And that’s okay. In fact, I think it’s desirable. Most certainly, we don’t have to agree across party lines, but that’s not even what I’m referring to here. I’m referring to not having to agree with people within your own party or ideology. That’s also okay and, again, desirable because it shows you… Continue reading
Tolerance
Tolerance: a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one’s own; freedom from bigotry. I think that is a fair and widely accepted definition of tolerance. Nowhere in that definition is any mention of having to accept a differing viewpoint. Tolerance is simply acknowledging the right… Continue reading

While I do not necessarily agree that we should be leaving… Continue reading

For others, that means a week on a deserted beach with electronics hundreds of feet away and thoughts even further away. For most, it’s something in between. Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of getting… Continue reading
Right Wing wants to Believe Lies

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
What does it mean to be a Liberal?
In many circles, the term liberal has a negative connotation. “You’re just a nasty liberal.” “All liberals want to do is tax and spend!” “You must have had a liberal college education.” The last one is the one I find the most flabbergasting. Is it really a bad thing to be educated? Should I hang… Continue reading
