Liberal Conservatives? Conservative Liberals? by David Fowler
|
|
| |
Watching politicians argue policy can sometimes be amusing, particularly when liberals use conservatives’ arguments against them and vice versa. There are times when you think the liberal speaking on the House or Senate floor is the conservative. The bill dealing with the religious discrimination taking place at Vanderbilt University is a prime example. It has been fascinating to observe. (Read more) |

Religious liberty for college students passes by almost 70% but Governor says he'll veto bill
|
|
| |
 Senate Bill 3597, which passed the legislature by a combined vote of 80 to 37, ensures that Tennessee’s public colleges and universities cannot discriminate against religious student groups. It also tries to temporarily protect the status quo at Vanderbilt, the recipient of millions in state funds, by giving it the option over the next year of (i) continuing to recognize Christian organizations, or (ii) applying its “all comers policy” to all student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, rather than engaging in its current selective discrimination policy. On Wednesday, Governor Haslam announced he intends to veto it. Reportedly, calls are still pouring into his office in support of the bill. Read Family Action of Tennessee’s press release and learn more about SB 3597. |

Just how far will the mainstream media go?
|
|
| |
Several media articles raise the question of whether in their attempt to defeat socially conservative bills the local media are willing to venture past liberal bias into crossing over the line of truth. In its reporting on the religious liberty bill, the media has frequently ignored Vanderbilt’s selective discrimination in refusing to apply its “all comers” policy to its fraternities and sororities, and that it receives millions in state funds. On the sex ed bill, it has claimed that “gateway sexual activity” is undefined, ambiguous, and could include handholding, when in fact the bill states that the term “means sexual contact” and “sexual contact” is defined in the state Code. Are we beginning to see a trend in the mainstream media far worse than its liberal bias? |

This week he endorsed an initiative on next Tuesday’s North Carolina ballot that would amend the state constitution to limit marriage to between one man and one woman. Rev. Graham is taking out full page ads in several newspapers in support of the amendment. |
