At first blush, the idea of having ballot initiatives on election day seems like such a great, democratic idea. Unfortunately, all too often, all they are is a way to enlarge government, chip away at freedom, and cost the taxpayers money without returning the benefits promised. California is the perfect example of these troubles.

Mark Shea to Nancy Pelosi in what I would simply call a teachable moment as to Catholicism:
Sorry, Nancy, but the Catholic faith is not esoteric. It is not “whatever I feel deeply in my heart”. It is the faith once given to the apostles and handed down to us through the Holy Catholic Church.
Here is what your faith *actually* teaches about marriage...

Pretty much the sentiment coming from the alleged victim's family:
Ashley Parker of the New York Times has a statement from the family of John Lauber, the man theWashington Post claimed Mitt Romney bullied in high school. She tweets:
From John Lauber’s family, the bullied victim in WaPo story: “We are aggrieved that John would be used to further a political agenda.”

Perhaps you've been to Oregon, the hipster capital of the Pacific rim? The land of Subarus and home to Portland is sometimes seen as a bastion for Democratic and other left-of-center politicians. The state has shifted quite significantly to the left in the last decade, especially as the California exodus continues apace.
So Democrat Barack Obama should be winning by a landslide margin, correct? After all, he won by 16 points in 2008. After his endorsement of gay marriage, he should be surging-- and at least holding the ground he once held.

Former Massaschusetts Governor Mitt Romney has opened a widened lead on President Barack Obama. Battered by poor economic news, the President has dipped, while Romney is surging on new GOP unity. While still early in the race, this is good news for the Republican nominee.
This new poll comes to us from Rasmussen, which is the most reliable of the major pollsters. This also comes as Romney has had some success against Obama in the polls so far. This, however, is the largest yet.

Vice presidents are supposed to be No. 2 around the White House. They do what No. 1 asks and never ever outshine the Boss, especially when the Boss is the kind who talks so often about my cabinet, my band, my troops, my everything. So, Joe Biden's gaffe last weekend was a monster. And these blunders are adding up.

The election is less than six months away but the mainstream media is already in rare form in their push to get Barack Obama a second term in the oval office. This time they went almost 50 years into the past when Mitt Romney was in High School.
What horrible thing did Romney do as a high school student? Did he kill someone? Push Grandma off the cliff? I know he was a serial rapist? No none of that, what the Obama campaign leak out via Washington Post columnist Jason Horowitz? Are you sitting down? Mitt Romney bullied a kid in

Sometimes a trivial embarrassment can become a teachable moment. It was recently revealed that Harvard professor and U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren had self-identified as a Native American for nearly a decade — apparently to enhance her academic career by claiming minority status. Warren, a blond multimillionaire, could not substantiate her claim of 1/32 Cherokee heritage. (And would it have reflected any better on her if she could have?) Instead, she fell back on the stereotyped caricature that she had “high cheekbones.”

This week, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan essentially endorsed same-sex marriage. The Obama campaign, however, wary of minority and blue-collar voters, promptly announced that President Obama was against same-sex marriage — sort of — but that his position was “evolving.” Like a flower waiting to bloom, eventually Obama?s support for same-sex marriage would spring full-fledged into existence.

There are always going to be people who are willing to callously put children and families at risk for the sake of radical fads like gay marriage and they’re going to use every argument in the book to justify it. Fortunately for people who care about the country, Christianity is absolutely incompatible with gay marriage and time and time again, when the people have been given an opportunity to vote, Americans who take their Christian faith seriously have voted it down. Some people think that won’t be the case forever. They think that Christians will turn out to be on

We have joined the debate like adolescents cheering their favorite sport team. This debate of Gay Marriage has been manipulated to be a diversion, so that we forget the important issues: issues like our economy, the international failures of Obama, the acquisition of an American bank by China, the fact that we have no budget, Obama’s use of our military as political pawns (“when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained”), the fact that we have a corrupt and racist Justice Department.

Normally, an article like this would make me roll my eyes and shake my head.
I’m not a big believer in vast hidden conspiracies. As soon as you get above 2 or 3 conspirators, the chances of discovery because somebody talks to the wrong person increase exponentially. And this conspiracy would involve hundreds of people if not thousands.
Anyway, it was linked at Instapundit by one of his temporary substitute bloggers.
