  • Consequences of redefining marriage

    By - The Washington Times

    With regard to Jeffrey Kuhner's "Obama's homosexual America" (Commentary, May 11), if marriage is no longer limited to one man and one woman, then how does the state, as matter of reason and "equal rights" exclude polygamy, polyandry, the marriage of adults and children, the marriage of close relatives, and even more bizarre combinations? Published May 15, 2012

  • Obama's series of political distractions

  • Ludicrous claim of 'war on women'

    By - The Washington Times

    Perhaps it's time to admit that the Democrats are right: Republicans are conducting a war on women, and there is a very good reason we are able to do so. You see, Republican women are actually "fembots." We Republican men have all our women converted at a secret location. Part of the process requires lowering the robots' IQs and making them totally submissive to our every wish. The conversion of our women to fembots leaves Republicans free to attack Democratic women without fear of consequences at home. Published May 15, 2012

    By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times
