Because last night, you were — you were sort of marginalized on ‘The Factor’ as not having a compelling argument and just being a bunch of Bible-thumpers.” – Rush Limbaugh, responding to comments Bill O’Reilly made Tuesday night after …

Ezra Klein Vs Justice Scalia

“The idea that there is something so wrong with same-sex households that it would be preferable for these children to go two or four or six years without permanent parents — an idea, again, that has little to no evidence behind it, and that is in fact contradicted by most of the evidence — bespeaks a homophobia so deep that it is …

Tony Perkins Has The DOMA Sadz

“Legal arguments today were complicated by the fact that President Obama and his Justice Department have chosen to abdicate their responsibility to defend federal laws in court, and have instead joined in declaring DOMA unconstitutional. No amount of legal footwork by those seeking redefinition of marriage can change the fact that society needs children, and children need a mom and …
