By: Dani Langevin – September, 2015 There is a car commercial being aired that has three tongue and cheek elderly ladies having some fun with a male salesman. The old ladies throw down some cliché pickup lines, one kisses her own finger and plants on his mouth, and they make comments about his “rear end”. […]
By: Paul Murano – June, 2015 Two monumental things occurred this past week: the Irish vote on “same-sex marriage” and the media embrace of Bruce Jenner’s claim to being a woman. How did we get here? As I’ve mentioned on my radio show Beneath the Surface, we have either entered an era of insanity, or […]
By: Dani Langevin – March, 2015 One of the strongest reasons people use to justify that history be a part of our educational system is that we learn from it. We learn to not repeat the mistakes of our past and ensure that we nurture and continue those practices that have proven to be beneficial […]
By: Dani Langevin – March 2014 *WINNER OF A VALLEY PRESIDENT’S AWARD* I am married. I guess you could say I am ‘in a marriage’. I am not in a gay marriage, just like I don’t live in a gay house or drive a gay car. My parents weren’t in a heterosexual marriage nor are […]
By: Dani Langevin – January, 2013 Last month Valley Patriot publisher Tom Duggan posted an article on Facebook about a gay teacher who had been fired from his position at a Catholic school. Just as Tom hoped, the comments came flooding in fast and furious and with a great deal of misplaced passion. The perspective […]
By: Paul Murano – August, 2013 Last month in this column we mentioned that the distortion of adding same sex partners to the definition of marriage was not nearly as shocking to society as the separation of sex from marriage had been. When Elvis shocked the […]
By: Paul Murano – July 2013 Last week DOMA was stuck down by the Supreme Court by one vote, and it made liberals and libertarians very happy. It made them happy because both groups believe marriage is not an extension of human nature with an objective form and purpose, but rather a man-made institution that […]
By: Christine Morabito, President of the Gr. Boston Tea Party We have seen our worst enemies, and they are among us. The Tea Party will not survive without a thorough self-examination. No need to re-brand, change our name or repackage our message. The solution is simple – we must return to our roots. As […]
By: Dani Langevin, Lesbian Columnist – February 2013 All gun owners are paranoid. They live in fear of some made up threat and the only way to quell it is to arm themselves. It’s their deadly pacifier. It is estimated that there are 52 million gun owners in America walking our streets ready to […]
By: Dani Langevin – Lesbian Columnist – October, 2012 Next year I’m going to demand that I don’t have any straight students in my classroom. I just want the gay ones. Straight students aren’t as good as gay students. I don’t care if the straight students are all excellent learners and lack any behavioral […]
By: Dani Langevin, Lesbian Columnist August, 2012 My disclaimer for this column is that I am simply stating fact. So, if you are against rights for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) communities then you will have more reason to continue disliking our present government and if you are for these rights then, well, […]
By Paul Murano, August 2012 Although the title of this column admittedly seems a bit alarmist, this nation is coming closer to this end. Two poignant events illustrate this, both occurring on the same day: August 1, 2012. Chick-Fil-A’s owner was asked a question and he answered it. He said he supports traditional marriage. On […]
By: Dani Langevin I knew my daughter was bullied as a child, but didn’t know how much until I recently read an eloquent paper she had written for one of her college classes. She survived a life threatening tumor as a child which left her with an unusually large chin and noticeable scarring on her […]
By: Dani Langevin – September, 2011 For the record, the word marriage originated in medieval France in the mid-1200’s. The term marriage is not mentioned in the bible. At no time did whatever entity you believe in say that marriage was between one man and one woman. So, please, for the love of God, […]
By: Dani Langevin – June, 2011 My daughter just finished her sophomore year at Westfield State University. She had one more project to finish up due a week after she came back home. It was for her Ethnics class. Proudly, she chose to research and report on the gay rights movement. The first date mentioned […]
