Passion Fodder

Mel Gibson goes for a drive. Also: Values are all around. Teddy K. once more. Plus much else.

(Page 7 of 13)

Like the clown from California who wants to ban that RU-485 (or whatever the number), the "Morning After" pill -- James Dobson's warped buddy Randall Terry of dubious Operation Rescue fame, who would ban all contraceptives... among others, like the people who called for the removal of a Where's Waldo book from a library 'cause there was a picture of a cartoon woman on a cartoon beach going topless while on her cartoon tummy?

No, sir -- these are real instances worthy of note -- and the fact that Dubya's very first veto was not about spending, but was about stem-cells?

p>That's scary! br> -- Geoff /p> p> Paul Chesser's "Values Apply to All Issues" offers a peek into the defining challenges of our time. A forward-moving nation cannot progress without guidelines and boundaries that both promote and, at the same time, limit the exercise of human sovereignty. To the rampaging political left, however, free speech means pornography while freedom to assemble is taken as a right to riot over global trade. Thus "values voters," once the heart of America, today are part of an essential behavioral brake on Constitutional abuse and the corruption of liberty. In abortion-crazed Europe, for instance, birth rates are so low that populations are plummeting and their societies are lurching toward demographic crisis. So are "moral values" ultimately not in keeping with the natural order that sustains us? br> -- Steve Nikitas br> Pittsfield, Massachusetts /p> p> ISLAMIST VIOLENCE br> Re: Jeremy Lott's Why Not Kill This Man?
