Welcome
Welcome to Ari Armstrong's Web Log about politics and culture. I advocate reason (as opposed to faith and irrationalism), reality (as opposed to supernaturalism and nihilism), and rights (as opposed to authoritarianism and lawlessness). I'm for liberalism broadly conceived and against tribalism, theocracy, socialism, fascism, racism, and Trumpism. I aim to tell you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear.

Christian Pastor Lies about Transgender Bill, Demeans Legislator
Even as he touted the truth during his May 18 sermon, Chris Goble, lead pastor of Ridgeline Community Church, lied about the contents and implications of House Bill 25-1312, "concerning legal protections for transgender individuals". . . . In the process, Goble demeaned Colorado's only transgender legislator, Brianna Titone (D-Arvada) in her absence.
