The Cincinnati Post: One nation, under God
The Post is wrong of course. They want majority rules over individual freedom. They hint "the judges are technically right", yet they want to ignore the law and let the majority pick a STATE religion, namely monotheism.

BRONSON: Bigotry exists
I am again disappointed that I agree with Bronson again. A good column. I was surprised he did not tackle the Pledge issue. I would guess he will on Sunday, and I will be ready to rip him a new one on what I would guess is his opinion on that issue. Until then, all is well in muddville, except for the religious bigot fest on the river this weekend, but I again digress.

CityBeat: Unsafe Refuge (2002-06-27)
They mentioned the ethnicity of the victims, but not the criminals. I wonder why????

"With Graham, Crackers Filling the Stadium This is a racist term that has no place in the title of a column in the manner it was used. "Cracker" is a racial slur and should not be used. CityBeat seems to hate the "n" word (not Negro: see the previous post), but they don't mind the attacks on whites. However, I would surmise they fall into the trap of “blacks can use the ‘n’ word and whites can use ‘cracker’ mantra.”

CityBeat: Your Negro Tour Guide (2002-06-27)
No, I don't need "Jesus" or any religion. Kathy has point about the Graham's Jesus-stock. It is like the bible belts Grateful Dead tour of Jesus-Heads. I don't think this would help anyone with anything, unless they are looking to be told what to do. That will be available at no charge. The racial healing myths are fool hearty. No one wants to "heal" in this city. They want to feel better, they want to feel vindicated, and they want to feel justified. Both sides can't be any of these at the same time. Religion is doing nothing here but creating a new group to hate: the non-religious.

Cincinnati Fascism Rears its Ugly Head
Phil Burress and the Citizens for Community Values CCV have come up for another go at fascism. This add was run in today's Enquirer, Post, and next issue of the Business Courier. Mike McConnell on WLW gave Phil a slight beating on the radio today over this issue, but he held back a complete kill. Mike wants him back on the air in the future.
This whole thing strikes me as similar to the movie version of Dragnet. The Plot is around a religious zealot who agreed to go after a Larry Flynt type in order for both to gain PR. Could the CCV and WLW be doing the same thing? I don't think so, but it makes for a great story.

KORTE: City Hall
All of these stories seem rather petty or just frivolous. It is almost like E! at city hall.
