Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

Catholic bishop: I changed from Democrat to Republican after ‘awful’ 2012 Democratic Convention ~ That’s really great Padre. But why in the world did you wait until nine months after the election to share that confession? (Obviously Bishop Tobin hasn’t been reading my blog )

Unfair, Unbalanced and Afraid: Fox News’ Growing Pro-Homosexual Bias and the National Gay & Lesbian Journalists Association ~ This is a lengthy, very interesting, and extremely well documented article ~

The degree to which the “mainstream” media have become promoters of the homosexual- and transgender activist movements is astonishing[…]
 
With pro-“gay” attitudes dominating newsrooms, few journalists seem willing to pursue stories that might offend America’s powerful and well-funded homosexual activist lobby. This would include investigating:
 
• how escalating “gay power” represented by pro-LGBT “nondiscrimination” laws subject even very young children to inappropriate pro-homosexual “lessons” in school, thus undermining both children’s innocence and parental rights
 
• the growing HIV crisis among “gay youth” (a study of young “men who had sex with men” in 21 cities found that one in 10 tested positive for HIV in 2008)
 
• how pro-homosexual laws including legalized “civil unions” and homosexual “marriage” negate Americans’ cherished religious and First Amendment liberties

 
How in the world did we get so far down this road so fast?
