I'm old enough to remember when our mothers let us lick the beaters when she was baking a cake.

My mother even turned the mixer off first!

Well, it sure seems like some Muslims are not!

How and when did we get away from basic honesty and civility? My good friend Daniel Pearson — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but even though he’s mostly liberal, he’s a common sense and decent kind of guy, the kind of guy you&#82…

It's not just the "big" crimes, but the seemingly little thinks like subway fare evasion which contribute to the coarsening of civilization.

Really? Are you saying that religions, beliefs in God, things which predated civilizations of any sort, were created to control the masses?

"Transgender animals"?

You've previously differentiated between biological sex and gender; are you saying that some animals take such distinctions as well?

A very liberal UCC bishop wants to throw out major parts of the Bible One of the basic, underlying themes of Christianity, across all of the various denominations, is that the Bible is the word of God, given to authors who were divinely inspired by the Lord to bring …

Is it any surprise that the bishop of a church founded on post-hippie San Francisco counter-culturalism wants to throw out major parts of the Bible?

All of our laws, morality, and societal makeup come from our Christian heritage. Marriage, monogamy, family structure, laws against murder, rape, and theft are all historically written by people who lived in a Christian culture.

It's amusing to me that you "question the individual's ability to critically think and decipher reality from fantasy," yet accept the cockamamie idea that girls can be boys and boys can be girls.

As opposed to very Catholic Joe Biden, who attended Mass most Sundays he was able, but who supported homosexuality, same-sex 'marriage,' transgenderism, discrimination based on race, and enforcing contraceptive mandates on public services run by nuns?

I put on black pants this morning getting ready for Mass but had to change because Alfie wouldn't stop rubbing against my ankles and left a ton of very visible fur on my pants.

Sounds unsafe. That could put you in the Danger Zone!

I changed all of my user names to Kenny.

Now I only have Kenny Loggins.

Is it your position that anyone who believes in God, whether Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or any other faith, is mentally ill? That would be most people on earth!

I accept how a person might feel about himself, but that doesn't mean that I will lie to others or to myself about it.

I've seen two obvious males pretending to be women, one a customer in a restaurant and another working as a waiter in an Applebee's in Richmond, Kentucky.

That Applebee's was closed a month or two later.

If "evolv(ing) beyond (my) bigotry" means lying to myself, you can count on that not happening.

If someone wants to lie to the world, and say he isn't what he really is, that's his business, but it's my business whether I accept it.

But that's just it: few people can't really tell when someone is 'transgender,' esp a male pretending to be a woman. When you say it "shapes societal expectations, access to power, and resources", it does so in ways you might not like.

Well, yes, they can attempt to "align their physical appearance with their gender identity through gender-affirming care, incl. HRT and surgery," but that doesn't really fool many people. Most 'transgenders' are blatantly obvious at a glance.

Odd how the assassination attempt occurred on July 13, 2024, while Joe Biden was still President, and neither the FBI or Secret Service ever called it as a staged event.

There were 116 days between the shooting and the election.

Conspiracy theories anyone? 🤣

In modern parlance, you are using "gender" to claim that effeminate boys are really girls, or "tomboys" are really boys, as though that can somehow be separated from biological sex. It can't. No matter how much someone really, really wishes he was the opposite sex, it does not and cannot change.

Sex is a biological distinction; gender is a term which classifies parts of speech in certain languages.

The notion that gender also defines personality or self-identity is just quackery. We never saw "tomboys" as anything other than real girls who happened to like rough-and-tumble or sports.

Actually, PHL would make a decent 'hub' airport. ORD is absolutely the worst airport in the world, but PHL is, in my experience, surprisingly decent.

Not great, but decent. We prefer it to JFK, which my wife hates, and another of the worst CVG.

Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal can distinguish between the sexes of their own species; only human liberals have 'educated' that ability out of themselves.

The 'identity' of the transgendered is being changed from the sex they were born.

Yup! I is a college graduate, and I is smart enough to tell the difference between males and females, and know that that cannot be changed.

The New Republic: Why Won’t Democrats Act Like They Believe In Climate Doom? I’ve been asking this question for over 20 years Democrats May Believe Climate Change Is Real. They Don’t Act Like It. This week, scientists reported that the collapse of a critical Atlantic …

It's simple: the left might believe in #ClimateChange, but they know it's an electoral loser. No one wants to pay more taxes over claims that the climate will be warmer 75 years from now; they're more concerned with groceries for next week.
