From Facebook. Some say things changed for me... 8484@http://www.classicalvalues.com/ 2009-07-03T21:37:21-05:00 http://www.classicalvalues.com/archives/2009/07/support_your_lo_1.html I like and support the Tea Party Movement. But as I explained in this post, I don't like the idea of anti-sex crusaders in the form of the American Family Association taking it over.

A few years after the first ones we had an industry. I think hemp/marijuana will follow a similar track.

That was Greg... 8479@http://www.classicalvalues.com/ 2009-07-02T10:42:30-05:00 http://www.classicalvalues.com/archives/2009/07/your_candidates.html Speaking of adultery (which almost everyone agrees is bad) I'm wondering whose adultery is worse -- Mark Sanford's or Newt Gingrich's.

(So does co-blogger M. Simon). What I don't love, though, is this attempt by Stacy McCain to link hatred of Sarah Palin to homosexuality (which McCain sees as synonymous with Andrew Sullivan's... 8476@http://www.classicalvalues.com/ 2009-07-01T15:34:57-05:00 http://www.classicalvalues.com/archives/2009/07/that_should_wor.html H/T R.

Little wonder, for even defining the term is an immensely complicated undertaking.
