Don’t Vote part 2

by Justin October 30, 2008

You kinda need to have seen the first one for this one to be funny, but either way it’s a powerful message that I believe will work this time: 5 More Friends justin

People in the middle for Obama

by Justin October 30, 2008

Judicial watchdog group People for the American Way has produced a really great interview-based series for Obama. Here is the main one: Find the several other videos either on their very cool site or on YouTube. I had to post this one specifically for Joel. She makes some great points that I’ve tried to make [...]

A moral debate over Prop 8

by Justin October 29, 2008

Remember how I said I had gay friends who have gotten married in California? Yesterday’s “letter to her dad” was one of them. Today’s debate on CNN highlights another couple who I respect and admire and consider to be a model relationship: Meet Rose Greene and Helena Ruffin: (and some black mormon guy who is [...]

A moving letter to her dad.

by Justin October 28, 2008

A good friend of mine who is getting married next week (before the election) wrote this letter to her father not long ago. It touched me and I wanted to share it with you. justin Dear Dad, There is something that I would like to discuss with you, or maybe it would be better said, [...]

2 x 10 reasons for Joel and my dad to vote for Obama

by Justin October 27, 2008

Well, the wave of prominent as well as ordinary conservatives who are favoring “the most liberal member of the Senate” over “the maverick” is growing into a tidal wave created by the Obama Tsunami… or as I’m the first to say, Obamanami. Let’s just hope it gets big enough to engulf Joel and my father [...]

Yes on Prop 8 – It’s about definition, not civil rights

by Joel October 27, 2008

What opponents to Proposition 8 will not tell you is that in 1999 a domestic partnership bill was signed into law that “affords families [same sex couple] the SAME rights and responsibilities as marriage.” My emphasis. The current proposition is mostly a response to the 2004 San Francisco same-sex marriages that effectively attempted to redefine [...]

McCain gets a big endorsement

by Justin October 27, 2008

I doubt it’s a very welcome one, though. Wednesday’s Washington Post had an article stating that Al Quaeda prefers to have McCain elected as USA’s next president. For the record, I don’t put a lot of stock into this… but if the same website had expressed support for Obama, you can bet McCain would be [...]

No on Prop 8

by Justin October 25, 2008

Despite our differences on the war and religion and marriage, I’m pretty sure that Joel and I can agree that enshrining the State or Federal Constitution with a discriminatory law like Prop 8 is wrong. The Mormon church has led a bitter fight against equality in marriage in California, even including dirty blackmail tactics against [...]

Why Obama is not the wisest choice

by Joel October 23, 2008

“The message today seems more like: Ask not what you can do for yourselves or your country, but what your country must do for you.” In this statement, Clarence Thomas has summed up a lot of the “progressive” American mentality. Nothing illustrates this more than Obamanomics or the future redistribution of wealth that we are [...]
