Dear Franklin Graham: Your father once remarked, 'Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.'

If you have been listening to the ideas of the Religious Right, especially over the latest Republican primary campaigns, you will see a large push against the gay community. The idea is that things like military service, marriage, and many other 'luxuries' of life are not inalienable rights, by definitionn. Instead, they...
No American President has attempted to force their religious views upon the American people. Rick Santorum would be the first President to do such a thing.
There are at least three reasons why supporters of access to contraception should be terrified of a Santorum Presidency:

Ron Paul has fooled a lot of liberals lately. They think that because he is anti-war, that it makes him a liberal. The problem is, Ron Paul is not even close to being a liberal. He is simply an anti-war conservative who wants to rip apart the federal government until it can no longer...

Some good came out of the housing bust and the securitization collapse. Don't get me wrong; I'm not celebrating it. Overall it sucked big time.

We all know at least one person that doesn't know much about history. And we all know that there have been people who have tried to distort history. The Republican Party, however, does both. Over these last two years, Republicans have a made a real effort to distort history as much as possible, to...
If Americans were to elect Rick Santorum to the Presidency, they'd be electing a second George W. Bush. In fact, Santorum would be even worse. If Rick Perry is the dumber version of Bush, Rick Santorum is the extreme version. According to Congressional Quarterly, Santorum supported Bush policies over 95% of the time from...

Privatizing eduction has been a cornerstone of the Republican platform for decades.

When was the last time you heard anyone talk about 'shared sacrifice' and 'austerity?' Exactly.
