Today is National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, but judging from the nationwide social media reports last week, customers didn't wait for the official day to start showing their support. The fast-food chicken restaurant has seen standing-room-only dining areas and clogged drive-through lines all week since the mayors of Boston and Chicago openly declared their desire to... Read More

It's one thing for Hollywood moppets and television Muppets to protest Chick-fil-A over the fast-food chain president's support for traditional marriage. They're private citizens and entities. But when an elected public official wields the club of government against a Christian business in the name of "tolerance," it's not harmless kid stuff. It's chilling. This week,... Read More

In defense of Brad Pitt's mom by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Hollywood and the American left love diversity, except when it offends their "progressive" value system.

How the Gay-Marriage Mob Slimed Manny Pacquiao by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is guilty -- of being true to his Catholic faith.

My column today spotlights the left-wing/New York Times alliance against Chick-Fil-A. Anti-corporate/anti-Christian blogs + MSM advocacy journalism = job-sabotaging smear machine. Chick-Fil-A isn't the only one in the restaurant industry targeted by the progressive mob over the past month. The SEIU has been waging open-borders attacks on restaurant chain Chipotle simply because the company complied... Read More

The ruling is here. From the ruling's conclusions of law: "Plaintiffs challenge Proposition 8 under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment. Each challenge is independently meritorious, as Proposition 8 both unconstitutional burdens the exercise of the fundamental right to marry and creats an irrational classification on the basis of sexual...

Hollywood and political celebrities are such lemmings. AIDS ribbons. Foreign baby adoptions. Livestrong bracelets. Now, every fame-seeker and left-wing panderer wants his/her mouth duct-taped to show solidarity with the gay marriage movement. The latest slave to fashion? Cindy McCain, following in the oh-so-edgy-for-Tinseltown footsteps of her daughter, MEghan: Who's silencing these Prop. 8 opponents? They're... Read More

I noted the highly unusual scheme hatched by liberal California Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker to turn the Prop. 8 challenge court proceedings into a show trial. The US Supreme Court has just blocked Walker's plans to put the trial on a delayed YouTube broadcast while it considers the legal issues: Bench Memos' Ed... Read More

Judicial activism + far Left radical activism = Courtroom intimidation. Yesterday, liberal California Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued an unprecedented ruling that will put the trial involving a challenge to the Prop. 8 same-sex marriage ban on YouTube. SFGate.com reports: Next week's trial in San Francisco of a lawsuit challenging the initiative that... Read More

I noted a leading Maine gay activist's threat against traditional marriage proponents the day after Election Day. There's more: Nope, no Krugman columns decrying the "insane rage" of the Left yet.

Just like the anti-Prop. 8 mob in California, the left-wing mafioso in Maine are targeting Americans who oppose gay marriage. Where are all the civility police to decry the climate of hate?

Socially liberal Maine rejects a gay marriage initiative -- making it the 31st time (out of 31 tries) that voters have torpedoed such proposals. How long until gay marriage proponents start decrying America's "climate of hate?" 3, 2, 1...

Following in the footsteps of the anti-Prop. 8 mafia, two gay activist groups have announced plans to "out" Washington state citizens who sign petitions to oppose expanding same-sex partnership laws. Via the Seattle Times: Now, imagine the uproar if the roles were reversed and anti-gay marriage activists were publicizing the names of petitioners supporting same-sex... Read More

The San Francisco Chronicle's Joe Garofoli is providing a helpful public service for angry, anti-Prop. 8 demonstrators looking for companionship. He's just published hook-up instructions from "progressive techies" on how to locate the nearest protest (hat tip: JWF): Nope, the paper did NOT provide similar services for Tea Party activists. But

I'll be darned. Stay tuned for more details. AP news alert: "California high court upholds gay marriage ban but allows existing same-sex marriages to stand." LATimes: "The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition 8’s ban on same-sex marriage but also ruled that gay couples who wed before the election will continue to be married under...

Hope you are well-rested from the Memorial Day weekend. Lots on the docket -- literally. Obama's SCOTUS pick is widely rumored to be revealed sometime this week: The Washington Times has questions about short-lister Elena Kagan. Not the first time we've seen soft-on-terrorism machinations by an Obama leftist: As the Wall Street Journal's "Political Diary"... Read More

Saudi Arabia's "Miss Beautiful Morals" contest.

Here's your follow-up to the vulgar gossip blogger Perez Hilton's attack on Miss California USA Carrie Prejean. On MSNBC (natural habitat of slimers), Hilton says he takes back his apology for calling Prejean a "dumb b*tch" and then pours on even more slime by laughing that while he called her that epithet he was really...

Well, here's your liberal tolerance for you. Gossip blogger/barrel-scraper Perez Hilton was a judge at the Miss USA pageant last night. He asked Miss California, Carrie Prejean, whether she supported legalizing gay marriage. Prejean answered respectfully that she disagreed with the legalization movement, but supported states' rights to put the question up for a vote.... Read More

Hell is frozen over. The New York Times has finally come to the realization that the anti-Prop. 8 mob in California is intimidating traditional marriage supporters with its blacklist maps. What took them so damn long? (link)

We were considered fascists for questioning theirs, but it's patriotic for them to question ours. Per Hot Air headlines, Hollywood lib Tom Hanks tars Prop. 8 supporters as "un-American." As opposed to all of those patriots gathering black lists and compiling maps of people who exercised their right to vote and dared to express political... Read More

The tolerance bullies are at it again -- engaging in renewed property damage in the name of peace, love, and understanding. Oh, and shooting themselves in the foot to boot.

California AG Jerry Brown promised to uphold the will of the people. Then the anti-Prop. 8 mob reared its ugly head. So, now he's changed his mind. Feel the power of the rainbow-colored fist: More on his brief from LAT: It is the attorney general's duty to defend the state's laws, and after gay rights... Read More
