thoughts in and out of season
Evidently, the election split [url=http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040922/flw011_1.html]black and non-black GAY Republicans[/url]…
So, where we’re at today, is that not only are there increasingly vocal homosexual lobbyists within the Republican Party, but they are split into two different groups, one black, and one evidently non-black (yet, notice, not decidedly white – that would be just too politically incorrect). … More ...

Dallas County’s: first woman sheriff, first Hispanic sheriff, first gay sheriff, and first Democrat sheriff since the ’70s.
So many firsts; a win-win-win-win situation for “diversity”!

Someone sent this to me yesterday: The Only Vote Worth Casting in November, a statement by Alasdair MacIntyre on the presidential election.

In itself the point isn’t particularly interesting, but as Sailer points out it gains some interest from the insistence of the Left that (1) “IQ” is an absurd concept that means nothing, and (2) lefties have higher … More ...
Here’s some background on how the American Catholic bishops came to sound collectively like standard-issue leftists, except on the issue of abortion: Social Teachings at Risk in the American Catholic Church. The piece is a collection of notes and snippets from a book by Michael Warner, Changing Witness, Catholic Bishops and Public Policy, 1917-1994… More ...
