Libertarian blogger "Jane Galt" explains why, in the homosexual marriage debate, she sits on the fence. This would be rather unremarkable were it not for some very interesting reflections on the way social institutions work.
Jeff Jacoby recalls "the Pope who set antisemitism aside". And British historian Paul Johnson (himself a practicing Catholic) eulogizes "the Pope who loved life".
John Jay Ray of dissectleft.blogspot.com (one of whose hobbies seems to be to go argue with signposts at various "right"-loonbat sites) seems to be on something of a roll. First of all, he draws my attention to this article about the way in which many "neoconservatives" look to Winston Churchill as something of a spiritual ancestor.
Also via JJ Ray, this report (PDF) on the state of "women's studies" programs in universities in the state of North Carolina.
And this lovely Churchill quote:
'All men are created equal' says the American Declaration of Independence.
'All men shall be kept equal' say the Socialists.
And a sad but true tale about EUranian regulations driving a Czech goat farmer to sell his goat cheese as animal fodder.
Some disturbing reading about the links between some hospices and the pro-euthanasia lobby. Following some links yield this piece about the 'culture of death' in Georgia and... Belgium.
Finally, This article by George Watson goes into the "Marxism and Nazism as evil twins" collection. (Check out this collection of racist quotations from Marx and Engels that your Marxist uncle wouldn't believe could be for real.)
UPDATE: Nothing to see here, move along ;-)
