I'm not going to sit around an pretend I'm not thinking things on my blog when I am thinking them and when I'm open to rebuttal.
I think a lot of people are afraid the truth is in conflict with God. And are unable to let go and let the truth of the world.
I think sex is completely absurdly demonized in our culture. But in the end, however much sex you want to have, with however many people in how many ways, to be loved and to love is what human beings really want.
I think you earn your reputation for honesty and integrity literally hour-by-hour, and taste for that matter.
I think of these imperial adventures like welfare programs; you start them with all good intentions, they never end, they go on forever and get more expensive as they go on.
I think if someone is writing continuously for 10 years and has not changed their mind about something - there's something wrong with them. They're not really thinking.
I think a blog to live really has to be probably four or five times a day.
I like the pluralism of modernity; it doesn't threaten me or my faith. And if one's faith is dependent on being reinforced in every aspect of other people's lives, then it is a rather insecure faith, don't you think?
I think essentially corrupting institutions in Washington are turning conservatism into something that is really very creepy, but also emotionally and psychically powerful for people.
I think there were two great gay Americans obviously, and that was Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman.
I'm not one of these people who thinks everybody's gay.
I think very few people are gay. I'm a two-percenter myself.
Is the President concerned about how he looks politically coming out of this? Heck yes! ... The president has some serious exposure here. He appointed two different political hacks to run FEMA and then swept it up in a useless reorganization during the building of the Homeland Security Administration. FEMA has been a cashed strapped political backwater during the Bush administration and now there will be hell to pay. If I were Michael D. Brown, director of FEMA I would be brushing up my resume.
Commodity stocks are driven by manufacturing growth, which represents demand. Those stocks are reacting to commodities markets around the world.
