...would rather not have children passers-by reading BGLTSA's exhortations to pedophilia or obscure, nauseating references to auto-oral-menstrual-eroticism, I saw no conservatives tear down Tuesday's ubiquitous smut.

This movement must abandon its false pretense of open-mindedness. The increasingly bogus "queer" agenda won no supporters and gained at least this opponent today...

"Maintaining the readiness of that strategic arsenal is already being done via computer testing; the U.S. hasn't conducted an underground test in seven years."

...family is the most important thing. If you destroy the family, how can society exist?" says Peiyuan, sitting in a car on the road to Yueyang, five hours north of his home in Changsha. This is a journey into the dark past for him. Yueyang is where he was sent to prison in 1969 for 11 years during the Cultural Revolution, accused of being an antirevolutionary rightist.
