"Where is the public outrage?"
A liberal is upset:
“Two articles juxtaposed in the Register seemed to sum up the situation in our nation today. One featured the sale of 190 homes in the Des Moines area priced above $500,000. The other cited the fact that working age people now make up the majority of households that rely on food stamps.
The old adage used to be that “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” but now it’s the rich get exorbitantly richer and the middle class and the poor get exorbitantly poorer.
Where is the public outrage?”
The letter appeared in the Des Moines Register.
I know the writer, and I’m perplexed …
A return to the Politically-Correct Coffee Shop
“Come on, Tom, live dangerously. It won’t kill you to experience a little diversity.”
My liberal friend, Libby, had dragged me to the Politically-Correct Coffee Shop. She was insistent that I enter the “Liberals Only” door.
“But I’m not a liberal. And the service stinks on this side. And it’s expensive. And they discriminate on the basis of race.”
Libby wouldn’t take no for an answer and dragged me through a door I swore I’d never walk through. As my eyes grew accustomed to the light, I saw that the menu had changed, and had become, against all odds, even more offensive:
Girl Scouts unofficially promotes an agenda of reproductive rights
Any good journalist fact checks claims, so that’s what I did. It took me many, many hours and about three month of fact checking of all the content of both web sites’ claims, sad to say, I found they all checked out. Girl Scouts’ own materials the girls read, tax documents, web content, corporate, government, and nongovernmental affiliates and partners were definitely promoting an unofficial agenda of reproductive rights, a redefinition of family.

Liberals do NOT want you to see this movie
FrackNation. Liberals are screaming about this 67 minute documentary. They’ve tried to get the trailers removed from YouTube and Vimeo. Why? Because it characterizes “fracking” as the “miracle of the 21st century.”
Read MoreThe inconsistent application of liberal virtue
Liberals and conservatives revere different virtues. It’s why it’s so hard for the two sides talk to each other some times.
For conservatives, the cardinal virtues consist of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude.
For liberals, they consist of diversity, inclusion, choice, and equality. And yet liberals aren’t terribly consistent in their application of their virtues. Let’s look at the first two …

Mr. Cuomo’s slam against pro lifers is rich coming in a state that aborts over half of its black babies. On this Martin Luther King Day, Mr. Cuomo exposes the lie that liberal politicians like him care about the poor and minorities.

In his book, “The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom: 1750-1925,” Herbert Gutman wrote:
“Five in six children under the age of 6 lived with both parents.”
In 1960 the illegitimacy rate in the black community was 22 percent. Today, it’s nearly 70 percent. The family clearly hasn’t broken down because of discrimination. Black families were much stronger when discrimination was rampant. More likely, the African American community has been a victim of welfare and Great Society programs that rewarded illegitimacy and penalized marriage …
The pro life generation is here
In a single moment, the devastating decline of the human abortion movement was revealed.
As background, yesterday was the 2nd annual Midwest March for Life. Despite lousy weather, despite a dire forecast, the pro life faithful bundled up to proudly march for life.
Des Moines, Iowa, is not known for hospitable weather in mid January. So why march now? Because the event roughly coincides with the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision which overturned every single state law that protected the preborn.
