Edward Davies was an atheist. He spent his life hating religion. He died hating religion. That apparently wasn’t good enough for the Romney family. A bit over a year after he died, Davies was sealed to his Mormon spouse in the Salt Lake Temple.
I had the pleasure of chatting with the writer and director of The Last War Crime, The Pen, and he had some very startling things to say about his fight with Viacom and Youtube over the promotion of this film.
In December 2010, the South Carolina Secession Gala was held in Columbia to celebrate the 150th anniversary of that state’s decision to secede. Unfortunately, that was far from the only such celebration of secession that occurred.

The fight for equality began in North Carolina, in 1961, at a Woolworth. That day, four young black men demanded to be served lunch at a whites-only counter.
It turns out, all creationism bills introduced since 2004 are inspired by an amendment drafted and proposed by then Senator and current Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum in 2001.
One of the most outlandish conservative arguments we’ve heard over the past few years is that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. should somehow be considered a conservative.
Many years ago, when I first learned of the Japanese internment camps, which were the result of an executive order by the progressive icon, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I became deeply conflicted. How can someone who I’ve come to revere make such an unjust decision?
