By Emily Geiger I read with morbid curiosity yesterday some liberal bloggers’ reactions to the killing of George Tiller. One in particular jumped out at me, and I just can’t let it slide. I’ve read Lynda Waddington’s blog before, and I have to laugh in that it claims to be “bipartisan” since she brought on a RINO columnist. But for the most part, the ... Full story

By Emily Geiger I’m sure many of you have heard by now that infamous late-term abortionist George Tiller is dead. Reports are telling us that he was gunned down at his church while he was acting as an usher Sunday morning. His wife was in the choir at the time. There are lots of angles to ... Full story

By Emily Geiger Craziness in California If at first you don’t succeed (in the election booth), and the state supreme court shoots you down, try, try again. Gay marriage advocates are already planning a ballot initiative to try to rescind proposition 8, which placed a traditional marriage definition in the California Constitution. And on the heels of a USA Today/Gallup poll telling us that public opinion is ... Full story

By Emily Geiger So, apparently State Sen. Matt McCoy is upset with Steve Deace. My first reaction to that is, Dude, get in line. Deace has whole organized groups of haters. Seriously. Google it. Anyhoo, McCoy, Iowa’s only openly gay state legislator, is ticked off because, even though he didn’t listen to the program in ... Full story

Well, here is yet another example of that. Despite the fact that Californians voted to legally define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, some local school boards have their ...

By Emily Geiger You know how the liberals claim that we have to be allowed to kill tiny babies (i.e. embryos) because we need to do that to cure horrible diseases with their embryonic stem cells? And you know how lots of people claim that we need to keep abortion legal so that, if we determine that there’s something ... Full story

By Emil Geiger Okay, so I know everyone and their brother is writing about this, but how freaking stupid is Joe Biden? Dude, you didn’t just give away Dick Cheney’s secure undisclosed location, you just gave away your own safety net, moron. The part of this story that I find almost more stupid than what Biden did is what Eleanor Clift did in reporting this ... Full story

By Emily Geiger Just before the most pro-choice president ever gave his speech at the allegedly pro-life Notre Dame University yesterday, a new Gallup poll is out saying that the American public is more pro-life than ever. For the first time since Gallup began taking this poll 15 years ago, the majority of Americans (51%) classify themselves as pro-life. And, the number of ... Full story

By Emily Geiger So, I finally got around to watching the Oprah show with Elizabeth Edwards talking about John’s affair. My gut reaction to it is that she is still in denial. The part that really got me was when Oprah asked about Rielle Hunter’s baby girl. Elizabeth said she doesn’t know if her husband is the father of ... Full story

By Emily Geiger What the hell is going on in Sweden? First, I see an article which told me that officials in that country were asked by doctors what they should do in the situation in which a woman bases her decision to have an abortion on the gender of the baby. This was not just a hypothetical question. ... Full story
