I live in the French Quarter and have seen just about everything that there is to see. Nothing there just keep on walking. What gets me, though, is that you demand my tolerance for your son, which you have, but you refuse to be tolerant of those who do believe in God.

As far as marriage, I don't believe that the state should have anything to do with it. In France, we had civil unions and religious wedding ceremonies. Let everyone and anyone get "civil unionized" and, if a couple or a triad wants the marriage icing on the wedding cake, let then find a religious institution. I doubt that the Catholic Church will ever celebrate a high mass at your son's marriage, but there are other religious institutions that will give him...

My oldest son attends a boarding school. The other night he called to tell me that he was at a Halloween party at a classmate's home off-campus and to check the photographs on my cellphone. I did and saw this pretty girl with long blonde hair, who was dressed as Barbie. I called him back with the "Alexandre has a girlfriend! Alexandre has a girlfriend!" He is 13. He said, "Mom, she is a he and I am not gay! His mother did his makeup." Now, I consider myself to be a very tolerant person, but the idea of my 13 year-old son going to a school party where there was a 12 year-old "out and proud" was a little too close for comfort. While I would do anything for my children, I can't see me applying makeup for my son.

Let's look at birth rates and economic liberty:

Taking the fourteen core pre-expansion EU economies, four of the five countries that also scored highest for economic freedom: Ireland, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands. The fifth highest fertility rate (1.89) belongs to France, which has one of the lowest rankings on economic freedom. But France is also the country with the highest Islamic population, and the evidence suggests that a third of all births there are already Muslim. If one were to adjust accordingly, you could make a case for close correlation in Europe between economic freedom and fertility rates. The three lowest birth rates belong to the countries at the bottom of the economic-liberty indicators: Greece,...

As a Libertarian, I want you to have all of the gay sex that you want. The benefit of you not procreating is lagniappe.

In 1968, Ehrlich wrote the book "The population bomb". Of course, back then, he was screaming about the coming Ice Age and 100s millions of people would die because of food shortages. He believed that the population would grow to a degree that it would cause environmental collapse. The irony is that the ecochondriacs want to curb population now, but they also are the biggest champions of entitlement programs. As Europe is proving, the fewer children, the fewer the tax revenues to pay for the entitlement programs that more people depend upon.

The government doesn't "bestow" rights on us. The Founding Fathers ceded limited and enumerated powers to the government. The Constitution is to protect us from the government. It does not give the Federal government the power to give you anything.

A government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take it all away.

Marie Antoinette never purchased the necklace nor uttered the famous "let them eat cake."

I had family members that went to the guillotine so I have more than a passing interest in the time. I have often said that if the US ever has another revolution, it will be more along the lines of the French one.

I agree that many on the Left want to totally destroy religion. They have replaced the church or synagogue with goreligion and the state. To them, government is charity. To them, government is all-knowing. To them, government is all-powerful. Robespierre, le dictateur sanguinaire (the blood-thirsty tyrant), would be proud.

I want limited government, maximum freedom and minimum taxes for every American. We have a Constitution here that grants only limited powers to the Federal government. If the Constitution is silent, then the states can decide what they want to do.

I don't care who screws who, but I do demand that everyone has a right to voice their opinion. We have this thing called the First Amendment here and it seems that some want to silence voices that differ from theirs.

As for health care, the US Federal government needs to keep it laws off of my body. SCOTUS held that I have a right a to privacy. If I have the right to get an abortion, I damn well should have the right to do what I want with my appendix. If I want to pay...

I am not a historian. I am a lawyer, but I do love history. Most people do not realize that the French Revolution was an attack on the aristocracy and the Catholic Church, which was actually the largest property owner. In many aspects, the French Revolution was much more like the Russian Revolution of 1917 than the American Revolution of 1776. The leaders used class to attack the two pillars of French society and government--the royal family and the Church. Robespierre and his colleagues needed to remove the authority of both in order to replace it with the state.

Interestingly, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were not the arrogant people the history has made them out to be. Louis XVI was a simpleton, who preferred to...

Before Joe Wilson was born, Sen. Robert C. Byrd was dressing up in his wife's white linens and burning crosses.

Is Byrd going to come out of retirement like Rep. Hank Johnson feared?

The KKK is riding through the countryside! YIKES!

The more that the race card is played, the less potent it becomes in quick fashion.
