The fiscal conservative argument…

by Justin November 4, 2008

Just got much much tougher if you’re supporting McCain. Yet another conservative institution endorses the Obamanami! I wish I’d seen this article earlier, but alas, I just found out about the endorsement of The Economist: Ironically, given that he first won over so many independents by speaking his mind, the case for Mr McCain comes [...]

Imagine high speed rail in California

by Justin November 4, 2008

Prop 1A, on the ballot in California tomorrow, looks to me like a good, forward looking idea to create high speed mass transit between big cities in California. Imagine getting from LA to SF in an hour or two at 200mph and never leaving the ground! That is the future! From Environment California: The vote [...]

by Justin November 3, 2008

Dixville Notch starts voting at midnight on election day and are always the first precinct in the nation to report their results, since 1968 always votes Republican… but not this year! CNN has just reported that Dixville Notch has voted 15-6 in favor of Obama! It wasn’t even close! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s going to [...]

What if?

by Justin November 3, 2008

As you head to the polls tomorrow to cast your ballot, ponder the following. I got this as a forward and have edited it for accuracy and fairness and post it here because I think it poses an important question: What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
