Population Control For Me But Not For Thee Comments on the News
Posted by Adam Graham in : News Round Up- A liberal columnist calls for the adoption of China’s one-child policy worldwide. (Never mind that policy is running into lots of problems.) The irony, the columnist in question is a mother of two.
- Since Obama was elected Republicans have won 33 out of 50 special state legislative elections.
- Michelle Duggar gave birth to child #19, this one was premature. Josie Brooklyn was 1 pound, 6 ounces at birth. Prayers for mother and child would be appreciated. (Hat Tip: Jill Stanek.)
- The Juvenile delinquents running the Berkley City Council are up to it again, as the city government mailed coat hangers to 20 members of Congress is protest to the Stupak Amendment. Why is it that the left insists that they want serious government, but wherever they get undisputed power, they behave like clowns? (Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin.)
- I have to note Rob Dreher (of Crunchy Con “fame”) and his “Just Say No to Kindle” post. I find it somewhat peculiar. I like books. There’s nothing wrong with them, but Dreher makes a point of being against Christians living wastefully and consumerism, and that we need to be more green. Okay. Well, nothing is Greener than a Kindle. You buy one Kindle and you end up reading 100 books on it, thing of how many trees you save. Yet, for whatever reason of nostalgia and of his own emotional love of books, Dreher will slaughter innocent defenseless trees. When I read about the concept of “Crunchy Cons” it was interesting. In a lot of ways, I don’t fit Conservative Christian stereotypes. (How many Conservative Christian Dystopian kilt-wearing writers who like disk golf do you know?) But the more I read Dreher, the more it appears that Crunchy Cons is nothing that will change culture or society or even be that significant, rather it seems to be a self-congratulatory self-righteous feeling that prides itself on eating the right foods, doing the right activities, and being politically correct enough to be respectable in mainstream circles. No thanks.
- Finally, a story that shouldn’t be a surprise. While Democrats may be less religious than Republicans, they are more superstitious. Democrats are more likely to claim to be in touch with the dead, consulted a fortune teller, and believe in spiritual energy. Traditional Christian belief decreases “credulity” in these type of things. I think the old rule that if you won’t believe in God, you’ll believe in anything applies here.
