I am going to let my subscription to Sports Illustrated lapse when it runs out this year. I hope lots of other people will do the same. Like too many other publications, the magazine has become dishonest, dishonorable and even occasionally despicable in its conformist, lockstep left-wing bias. Republican politicians and conservative positions are routinely insulted in articles having nothing to do with either. Yawn-inducing left wing predictability is brought to the discussion of every issue. No SI writer is allowed to disagree with leftism ever. Despite its great photographs and occasionally good athlete profiles, the magazine has remade itself into crap in the name of political conformity.
For me, the Super Bowl issue with its smarmy and poorly reported article on religion in football was the last straw. The article was not an offense to God, it was an offense to journalism. Mark Oppenheimer, a left wing anti-religion writer for the left wing New York Times, among other left wing venues, does the left wing hit job on football players of faith. Not surprisingly, he is also the author of a hagiography of the Christian-bashing gay bully Dan Savage. (This blog has always supported gays and gay rights, but to my mind, Savage has no more place in serious debate than the Westboro Baptist gang.)

Congratulations. I haven’t looked at that liberal rag since 1990.
This is a much better mag:

No imagination necessary.
According to a friend of mine who lived the first 25 years of his life in Russia, the Bolsheviks murdered 30 million people in the first five years of the Leninist regime. Kulaks, Mensheviks, faith communities, including observant Jews.
In one Ukranian town, Soviet soldiers lined up confessing Christians and their whole families on the side of a road and shot them all. Hundreds of them. men, women, and children. The surviving townspeople were told not to bury the bodies but to leave them there as a warning to those who would dare to confess Christ.
To this day, when you visit that town, you can see bits of bone and fragments of clothing there at the execution site. The people decided never to bury them so they would never forget the predations of communism.
Why do either, type "Naked Redhead" in google pics, prepare to be shocked, pleased, outraged it is amazing that women are so anxious to degrade the image of women.
“...according to a friend of mine who lived the first 25 years of his life in Russia...the Bolsheviks murdered 30 million people in the first five years of the Leninist regime...”
Please ask him to share those stories with as many people as possible.

How low can you go......
Once everyone has a smart phone or a tablet, who will need magazines? Just like homosexuality, the problem will eventually cure itself.
For $9.99 a month, you can have an electronic subscription to 70 magazines, SI included, on your tablet. It’s called Next Issue and it also allows you a year of back issues per magazine.
Best Deal Ever.
