Since September of 2005, I have been writing a twice-monthly column called Conservative Tendencies in a local paper by the name of Church Street Freedom Press. In February of this year, the dead tree version of that publication ended. Columns and news continue to be available from CSFP at their website. My last two columns before my current brief hiatus took the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to task for their failure to commit any funds to fight the marriage amendment here in Tennessee while simultaneously pouring vast sums into the campaign coffers of Democratic candidates. Overall, HRC is failing the gay community while becoming a partisan left-wing group that Democrats can count on for funds and support regardless of their position on the issues.
