When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Same-sex marriages ought to be allowed. There is no good reason not to allow them.
Even if it were viable to thwart the Constitution and apply a religious test to a civil issue -- which it's not, of course -- the position is indefensible.
To take a minor passage of the Old Testament over the entire thrust of the New Testament shows up anti-gay Christians for the homophobes they are.
The absurdity of their position is parodied at the God Hates Shrimp weblog.
