Featured Column: Commentary Too - Jan 20, 2012
- Proudly "Evil"
by S.K. Eleton - Theocracy Watch
Quick pop quiz. What state recently had a dispute over a prayer banner in a public high school, was sued by a young atheist, lost, and is now turning out en masse to harass, torment, threaten, and otherwise make life a living hell for a brave 16-year-old? If you guessed Alabama, you’re absolutely…wrong. If you guessed Mississippi, wrong again. Texas? No. And for everyone out there whispering Kansas, you’re still wrong. For those of you who’ve read ahead, looking up the answer without trying to figure out the question, you already know the answer is…Rhode Island. What, you say? Rhode Island? The state founded by Roger Williams? The state born and bred for the very purpose of religious tolerance, where tolerance found a warm nurturing home? No, of course not, it can’t be. S. K., you must have read your news wrong; it must have been Oklahoma, right? No. I read it right. I heard it right. I proudly stand behind Jessica Ahlquist, Cranston, Rhode Island, who has experienced more hatred and vitriol at 16 than most people will in their entire life. And yet, this girl, whom I had the pleasure of meeting late last year, stands tall (well, OK, she’s pretty petite, but give me a break, folks, it’s a metaphor!) and proud, and speaks with a soft courage that can inspire mediocre people to do great things. Not afraid to stand up for the Constitution, even in the face of vitriolic hatred and threats of death and/or rape, she can make a person proud to be an American, by demonstrating so clearly the spirit of those who fought to create a country conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal – and then battled some more to include women in that equation. Now, this one woman (I refuse to call her a girl; she has too much spirit and maturity to be so reduced) challenged the establishment of her town, and for her troubles, she has been called a ‘cunt’, a ‘twat’, has been threatened by her peers, and called an “evil little thing” by a state representative, Peter Palumbo (a Democrat, in case you’re wondering). Still, she faces her challengers bravely, and does not back down.
From the beginning, when she stood up in a meeting to discuss the prayer banner, Jessica was called a “witch”... more

Over the past week, the news was full of the fact that we now have a climate treaty. Governments met in Durban, South Africa, and hammered out a historic treaty, and we are now on track to do something about those nasty greenhouse gases. (Stop me if you’ve heard this one before). News headlines were excited, enthusiastic, rah-rah about the new treaty. We did it! Or at least our delegates did it…they put aside their differences and ironed out the pesky wrinkles of this new treaty in a marathon last minute session, going without sleep to make sure things were just right. And now we all can breathe easier knowing our fearless leaders are on the job. They’ve come through, at great personal sacrifice, and saved the day. So, just what was in this treaty, anyway? |

This is a tribute to a great man who was also a flawed man. This month, the world lost one of the last of the great polymaths, as Christopher Hitchens succumbed to cancer of the esophagus. Already the ghouls are circling, consigning the man’s eternal soul to hell, gloating over the death of one who confronted life square on and refused to compromise. Others are preying…excuse me, I mean praying…for his eternal soul, convinced that their fervent pleas on his behalf will get him a reprieve from burning hell, or at least a slightly less gory spot. There is, of course, considerable speculation about what Hitchens will say when he presents at those Pearly Gates and is quizzed by St. Peter about his outspoken, proud atheism. I say, let them have their fun. They certainly can’t do him any harm, and it gives the rest of us a respite to... more

IT’S… Hell, I don’t know what it is! by Robin Buckallew In poll after poll, global warming (or any other environmental issue) fails to show up as a concern of the public at all. Polls show also that the percentage of the public who accept that the data shows the globe is warming and that humans are... more |
