Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Let me just start by saying, “Ouch!”. The game, last night, was brutal. The New York Giants laid a huge “smackdown” on the New England Patriots. They were thisclose to making history and then “Whoops!”…too bad, so sad…
I was rooting for the Patriots (even though I’m a Denver Broncos fan), but thank […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself.  Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television!  I can’t wait to watch them.
Oh…oh…oh…and the wardrobe malfunctions!  There’s another reason to watch the Superbowl?
That’s right: The half-time show!
There’s supposed to be a game or something going on, but […]

The Full Unadulterated Huckabee

There’s an interview on BeliefNet with Mike Huckbee. Wow… that’s some interesting and quite scarey reading. Here’s what Huck had to say about his controversial statement on changing the Constitution:

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Wednesday? Wednesday! Yes! We are so close to the weekend now, I can almost taste it!
Did you guys catch the Democratic debate in Nevada, last night? I missed it, but I wonder, did it look anything like this: ダンボールの攻防: Attack and Defense?
My big news involves yours truly, my chosen political party, a podium, and a […]

Huckabee: Part Of The Christian Nationalist Threat

The story below on Mike Huckabee couldn’t better timed to put the spotlight on a scary topic. It is a worrisome reality that the Christian Nationalist movement is far better funded, organized and active than most Americans wish to admit. Huckabee represents the worse scenario. He’s attractive and well-spoken on camera. He’s easy to like. […]

Huckabee: Vote For Me and I’ll Amend the Constitution to to Reflect God’s Standards

Mike Huckabee was on the stump in Michigan pimping for the support of the evangelicals last night. Huckabee told voters he would amend the Constitution to “reflect God’s standards.” Watch this clip:

This guy is a real threat to our basic rights under the Constitution and I don’t think we should under estimate the sway he may […]

Mormons And Government

I was decidedly neutral when it was announced by the powers that be in Mormon land (or “Utah” to outsiders) that Mitt Romney was the chosen one. He would rescue the 2002 Olympics, and so be it.
My neutrality arose from memories of his dad, and the appreciation I had for him in taking on Richard […]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

There’s no two ways about it. Today’s Round-Up sucks so badly that I first have to start you off with a little ditty to distract you from the complete suckiness of the ten posts that I came across.
I’m sure that you will find this video completely appropriate (if you don’t, then you have bigger issues […]

Huckabees Fishes for Religious Right Voters

Is Mike Huckabee fishing for Religious Right voters with “subliminal” messages in his ads? Although he dismissed the idea that he was in late December, CNN reports today that “for the second time in the past two weeks, presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has aired a commercial in which a Christian symbol appears in the background.” Watch the ad […]

Support of Christianity Resolution Passes House

I enjoy reading Jimmy Gillman’s blogs about life in America.  The other day he commented on a recent House Resolution–H. Res 847:
December 11, 2007.Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world;
Whereas there are approximately 225,000,000 Christians […]

Religious Freedom

Freedom is theoretically possibly without democracy, one supposes. It would have to consist of a benign dictatorship (most likely possible in a historical Monarchy) with all of the shortcomings that that would entail.
Democracy without freedom is another matter altogether. Not only is it conceivable, it is a daily reality if one looks around, and events […]
