Do you find these red and green lights offensive?

You know the political correctness of our time has truly run amok when you wake up and hear on the news that the town of Fort Collins, Colorado is considering banning the use of red and green lights in city holiday decorations to avoid offending anyone that associates the colors with Christmas – I am just wondering if they have to redesign their traffic lights? The city has created a “Holiday Display Task Force” designed to “to review the city’s existing holiday display policy.” The “City Council will vote on the task force’s recommendations Nov. 20.”

When is it okay to pull the plug?

November 11, 2007 at 9:11 am · Filed under Politics, Right to Life Issues

Wesley J. Smith has written an article that is a must read for anyone who thinks that we should so easily pull the plug on patients assumed to be brain dead – ala Terri Schiavo.

Here is an excerpt from his article:

On October 19, only months after being nearly dehydrated to death when his feeding tube was removed, Jesse Ramirez walked out of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix on his own two legs. Ramirez is lucky to be alive. Early last June, a mere one week after a serious auto accident left him unconscious, his wife Rebecca and doctors decided he would never recover and pulled his feeding tube. He went without food and water for five long days. But then his mother, Theresa, represented by lawyers from the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund, successfully took Rebecca to court demanding a change of guardianship on the grounds that Rebecca and Jesse’s allegedly rocky marriage disqualified her for the role.

Robertson Endorsement Irrelevant

November 8, 2007 at 10:10 pm · Filed under Election 2008, Politics, Rudy Giuliani

Recently, Pat Robertson announced his endorsement of Rudy Giuliani. As shocked as I was by this endorsement, the reality is that it truly has little impact on conservatives such as myself. The reason for this can be easily explained. And in fact, Hugh Hewitt does a perfect job of it. Here is his explanation:

“Christian conservatives are an exceptionally active and aware demographic when it comes to politics. Those who were going to take a deep breath and support Giuliani wholeheartedly had already made that calculation. Those who could not see their way to a Giuliani vote have made that calculation on the basis of Giuliani’s pro-abortion rights stance, and perhaps on the immigration issue. A Robertson endorsement won’t help with these people. They have “hard” objections to Giuliani for which no argument really matters.”

I am disappointed, and even saddened that Pat Robertson would endorse Giuliani. I could see Pat choking down Giuliani’s candidacy when given no choice – assuming he won the Republican nomination. I can’t understand why he would endorse him now. That being said, I am not swayed by this endorsement and it is unlikely to sway too many other conservatives who have already made up their mind. Barring an intelligible explanation from Rudy on his abortion beliefs, as well as a commitment to the right type of judges, there is nothing else he can do to win my vote.
