It’s been my longstanding opinion that people aren’t born gay, at least not in the sense that most people would understand it. As far as I see it, though, when I debate this topic with other people, there are three possibilities in the world of “gay formation”:
1. Gay people are born like the rest of […]
This post is a follow-up to Wednesday’s post, in which I talked about the possible effects of global warming.
One obvious effect already occurring that I didn’t mention was the growth of ethanol as a popular fuel additive. Since ethanol is made from crops like corn, it’s driving up food prices all over the world, stirring […]
I hardly ever talk about illegal immigration, probably because 1. I don’t think I understand it all that well and 2. I just don’t care. During the Republican debates in late 2007/early 2008, whenever illegal immigration was brought up, I tuned out. Boring.
Big-time conservative pundits seem to really care, but to me, how many people […]
I’m no Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, or St. Augustine, so part of me is saying “hey, you’re not intellectually qualified by any means to say anything of substance in a ‘Defense of God’ post.”
But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so here goes.
Holy Bleep, the Universe Exists
I like to wonder how […]
So let me get this straight: you’re over 50, have been Catholic all your life, used your faith to get you through some “tough times” (well, if you consider puberty a universal trial), and you’ve held to Catholicism all your life. Then, the media rides the “molestation” wave, and now - NOW - […]
I’m supporting Mitt Romney because I believe he has the executive experience necessary to lead our country. He has proven himself as a successful entrepreneur in the private sector, as CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and as Governor of Massachusetts (better known as Taxachusetts to conservatives), among other strong credentials.
Romney wants to eliminate taxes on […]
In last week’s Republican presidential debate that was hosted by CNN at the Reagan Library, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made an excellent point regarding the beauty of our federalist system.
When asked if he would back California’s wishes to impose its own emissions standards over the federal EPA’s (California’s proposal is actually stricter), he said yes […]
Mike Huckabee made a great point in last night’s Republican debate at the Reagan Library in California that was moderated by CNN.
Asked about his opinion on the economic stimulus package currently being proposed, the Baptist minister, former Arkansas governor, and rock star (albeit very minor) made this point:
Most likely, American consumers are going to take […]
Greetings fellow BPN-ers! I apologize for not appearing here in a few months. I’ve been extremely busy with getting a business up and running with friend and fellow Cardinal Stritch University alumnus Phil Burghgraef, who also contributes political cartoons here every so often. I also write for a newer paper in my hometown, the Muskego […]
Teachers don’t only hate kids, they hate the pledge of allegiance. At least one of my former teachers, Tom Zachek (writing about it in a recent Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel column) does.
Needless to say, his anti-pledge B.S. condemns reciting the pledge as “mindless drudgery.” This is an affront to the fact that public education has […]
