In 2010, I find it thoroughly shocking and even frightening that an American Supreme Court justice would say or believe this. I guess women don't have "inalienable rights," according to him. No equal protection under the. Law unless legislatures VOTE for it? The way OUR legislatures function, that will never happen. No Equal Rights Amendment has been passed. What does that tell you?

Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe: The Great God Debate

Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe: The Great God Debate, fascinating video of the debate hosted by Tom Ashbrook on PBS Forum Network. From the page accompanying the video:

The polemic "anti-theist" writer Christopher Hitchens engages in "The Great God Debate" with Conservative Jewish leader Rabbi David J. Wolpe. Does God exist? Is religion a force for good or evil in the world? Can ancient texts be squared with modern science? Can morality be divorced from religion? How important is God to Jewish identity?

Christopher Hitchens is one of the most prominent and controversial writers in the media today and the author of the best-selling book 'God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.' David Wolpe, Rabbi of Temple Sinai in Los Angeles, was named the #1 Pulpit Rabbi in America by Newsweek. He is the author of seven books, including Why Faith Matters, a response to the ideas of Hitchens and other atheist thinkers. Tom Ashbrook, host of NPR's On Point moderates the debate.

News Media Gone Nuts

The news media in this country have sacrificed real news and reporting to stories of the crackpot of the day. Why else would they be giving so much time to the nutty pastor of a tiny church in Gainesville, Florida, who threatened to burn the Koran? This is major news? Not until they MADE it so. Not until they gave this misguided man a national, nay international, platform and exposure, and helped him create a backlash, which they also glory in reporting.

It's a field day for the ratings-seeking networks, a bonanza of scandalous threats endangering our troops and making America look foolish around the globe.

And Jason Linkins at the Huffington Post agrees.

As Walt Kelly, author of Pogo, wrote, "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us."

They need to drop it. Or else investigate the man. Who knows what they might find?

The Violation of Creation

It is utterly beyond my comprehension how anyone on this earth, of any religion, can possibly think that a loving Creator who created the universe and all that is in it, could possibly want one of his creations to kill another, especially in His name, especially thinking they are doing his will.

The Plight of Afghan Women: A Disturbing Picture

It's a shocking photo and a horrifying story, and I have a lot of sympathy for women all over the world who are in abusive and dangerous circumstances.

But the fact also remains that while we are staying there, we are dooming our soldiers to death and crippling injuries and mental disorders like PTSD and suicide. Are their lives worth any less?

More Birther Nonsense - Obama's 1981 Pakistan Trip

I am sick of being sent garbage about Obama's supposedly refusing to produce a birth certificate and other nonsense. Factcheck.org is a very reputable source that documents these matters . . . and many others . . . on both sides of the political spectrum. You can dislike Obama and disagree with his politics, but at least base that on reality, please.
