Is Obama Trying to Test the Tolerance Limits of Pope Francis?

Pope Francis is set to visit the White House, and Obama is apparently seeing just how far the Pope’s famous tolerance can go. Obama has invited quite a few people to meet Pope Francis at the White House, and few of them fall squarely into any category one could consider “orthodox”: In a stunning show […]

This Facebook feature purports to be controlled entirely by user data, but a recent article in Lifesite News indicates that Facebook is manipulating the feature in order to protect Planned Parenthood in the wake of the […]

The Subtle Micro-Aggression and the Ubiquitous Taking of Offense

Being offended is our generation’s version of being right. Because, obviously, if someone is offending you, he is wrong. In that cultural milieu, the subtle merchants of insult detection have created ever finer instruments to amplify even the smallest traces of political incorrectness. Take the micro-aggression, for instance. Apparently ceding the point that outright and […]

On Funny or Die, Planned Parenthood, and Being the Right Kind of Fool

You all know Funny or Die, I’m guessing. They are presumably a comedy website. But recently, they joined the leftist fight to protect Planned Parenthood from its “vicious attackers” by posting an “exclusive” “comedy” video entitled “The Shocking Truth About Planned Parenthood.” Ironically, Funny or Die chose literal death over comedy, and the results only add […]

The Diversity vs. Equality Paradox and the Branding of America

I just read an interesting article on the ambivalent feelings some homosexuals have had toward the recent Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage. According to some homosexuals, especially the older ones, the normalization of homosexuality has eroded the uniqueness of the homosexual identity: Rainbow-hued “Just Be You” messages have been flashing across Chase A.T.M. screens in […]

Anthony Berteaux, a college sophomore from San Diego State University, has chosen to respond to Jerry Seinfeld, in the name of all college students, regarding Seinfeld’s comments that colleges are too politically correct. Seinfeld apparently won’t do stand-up at colleges anymore because college students are too easily offended, and this one college student was very […]

Five Reasons We Don’t Need the Bernie Sanders Free College Plan

Many pundits are praising presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the “independent” Senator from Vermont, for his “bold” plan to make college education free—or at least affordable—for everyone: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has proposed a formula to create free college education at public universities and finance the program through a small transaction tax on Wall Street trades. […]

Vanity Fair Has Never Been Truer to Its Name

Vanity Fair, like Jezebel, is one of those various publications that embraces, and tries to transappropriate (emphasis on the trans in this case), a negative (usually Christian) term. We all remember Jezebel, the hateful vicious idolatrous wife of Ahab, but perhaps the allusive source for Vanity Fair has become obscure to modern audiences. It’s from […]

Transabled People Upsetting the Transgender Bandwagon

You might have to read this twice. A transabled person is a perfectly healthy person who for whatever reason doesn’t feel at home in his or her healthy body and believes a physical disability would be more in keeping with the “reality” in their minds: [Researcher Alexandre Baril] suggests [transablism] is just another form of […]
