By Tim Wildmon   |   07.26.14
The politically correct or “progressive” crowd found a new target this week: outspoken Christian and Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy. When asked about “out and proud” football player Michael Sam, the former NFL coach said he would not have drafted...
Foolish Journalists Attack NFL Coach Tony Dungy
By Laurie Higgins   |   07.24.14
The Chicago Tribune must have an expansive anti-discrimination hiring policy that prohibits discrimination based on foolishness because the paper hires a boatload of foolish writers. The feckless Trib writer ‘o’ the week is sports writer Steve Rosenbloom who penned an embarrassing piece about the admired football coach Tony Dungy. To be clear, it is Rosenbloom—not Dungy—who should be embarrassed.
Four Problems and a Response to Obama’s LGBT Executive Order
07.21.14
Earlier today, President Barack Obama issued an executive order barring federal contractors from what it describes as “discrimination” on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Employers should respect the intrinsic dignity of all of their employees, but as I explain in greater detail at the Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal, today’s executive order undermines our nation’s commitment to pluralism and religious liberty.

Independence Day Parades and Barbarism
By Laurie Higgins   |   07.06.14
“Barbarous: Primitive in culture and customs; uncivilized; coarse” It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Independence Day parade in Deerfield, Illinois included a nod to sexual deviance, but Wheaton, Illinois? A justifiably irate parent from Deerfield, a liberal community on the...
Rainbow-Hued Is the New Black
By Laurie Higgins   |   06.26.14
I was recently asked this question: “Do you believe that disapproval of interracial relationships is indicative of hatred or bigotry? Interracial relationships like homosexual relationships are freely chosen.” What my interlocutor was really asking is, “Isn’t disapproval of homosexual relationships...
The Left’s Problem with Logic
By Laurie Higgins   |   06.24.14
The Left has either a problematic inability to think analogically and logically or a Machiavellian willingness to pretend they don’t. When I compared the rationalizations that religious leaders offered for their refusal to stand against the Nazi regime to the...
What’s Wrong is Right: A Revolution in Rationalization
06.23.14
Governor Rick Perry of Texas recently made waves when he was asked whether he thought homosexuality is a disorder. He replied that he was not professionally qualified to pronounce on a medical or mental health question, and then added, “Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that . . . I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way.” As you might expect, this answer—which many millions of Americans might honestly have given—caused a bit of a ruckus.

Big Brother Sticks It to Colorado Cake-Baker

Anglican Church Ladies Triumph!
06.11.14
Anglican Church ladies used to be stout matrons in tweed suits and sensible shoes. Manning the tea urn, setting up tables for the church bazaar and knocking some sense into the vicar, they were a formidable (if not monstrous) regiment of women. It’s all change now!
