Dear Madam President, We need you on board, we need you to run, whether on not you win doesn't matter... America needs you out there everyday fighting for us and repudiating enemies in both the political parties.... We need you to express the things we believe in, and we need you running as a candidate to strike fear into the enemies of our country.....there is NO ONE ELSE my Angel, but you.... If you have any doubt that we are beginning the fight referred to as Armageddon, just watch this video, listen to this truth and know that you are...

I’m really not sure if I should let you wait till the end of the post to figure out whether this is real or not. Oh…doggoneit … I’m going to make you wait to get to the end of the post. That makes this whole thing a whole lot more fun. For your weekend viewing enjoyment my little mobsters, a young woman in search of a young man who loves cats as much as she does. I first saw this over at Ace, and while I was wiping the tears from my eyes I decided to dig a little bit...

Dr. Neil Clark Warren, former dean of Fuller Theological Seminary and founder of eHarmony.com, the dating website, has spent most of his life promoting "family values". A run through Dr. Warren's "29 dimensions of compatibility" however left this conservative befuddled. Reminiscent of the standardized personality inventories used by employers, eHarmony's screening session told me what I already knew about myself. What I didn't expect, however, was the notification at the end of the session that eHarmony had determined that, based upon my responses, I would NOT be a successful candidate for their product. What then followed was a free "personality...

Hey folks I started a forum to discuss the issues that plague our minds of today. This forum started due to politics not allowed to be discussed on a Utah wildlife forum, seeing a need this forum was born. It was created three weeks ago and we have had a lively time. We would like to add more ideas and thoughts to our discussions and hope that you will take a look and be involved by expressing your ideas, thoughts, or whatever may be on your mind.

Even though, the day after it aired on the Super Bowl broadcast, the consensus on the Focus on the Family advertisement featuring former Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow was that it wasn't as bad as the left had feared, at least one person that isn't going to let it go. On MSNBC's Feb. 8 "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough made the point that the TV spot played during the Feb. 7 game was inoffensive and painted the opponents of it as being upset about nothing. "One other thing too, talking about the soft touch - Focus on...

A former eHarmony customer who objected to the company's new outreach to homosexuals but was denied a refund says the company now apparently is changing its response. The customer, who asked that his name not be revealed, told WND that a followup e-mail from the "eHarmony office of the president" confirmed that his account was closed and a refund was being processed as he requested. The issue arose when the dating service, which originally described itself as being founded on Christian principles of long-term husband-and-wife relationships, moved into the "gay" market with a new homosexual-oriented website called Compatible Partners. A...

When straights-only dating site eHarmony settled a suit with the state of New Jersey by agreeing to start up Compatible Partners, a sister site for gays, the solution seemed Solomonic to some (everyone got what they wanted) and like a sell-out to others (anti-gay Christians chafed that their religious liberties were being trampled). But what the move hasn’t done is clear up eHarmony’s legal problems: a second suit charges that by relegating gay dating services to a separate site, eHarmony is still discriminating. A class action suit in California that names both the site and its founder charges that creating...

The launch by dating service eHarmony.com of a new website for homosexuals is creating concern among customers who were attracted to the company because of its Christian foundations, but they're not getting any satisfaction. WND reported when eHarmony launched its new Compatible Partners website for homosexuals, the result of a settlement of a discrimination complaint brought in New Jersey. Compatible Partners has been put online by eHarmony following the case prompted by a 2005 complaint by Eric McKinley, a homosexual, who claimed eHarmony's heterosexual-only matching service violated the state's anti-discrimination law.

The homosexual community now has its gay dating web site, paid for by a Christian businessman. And an honorable man of biblical beliefs has been bludgeoned into submission by the scam of "tolerance" and "non-discrimination" and the judicial tyranny of a New Jersey state agency. In November, eHarmony.com, a Christian-based matchmaking service, was strong-armed by the state Civil Rights Division and agreed to set up (or see here) a parallel web site for gays. The agreement was made after the state agency acted following a lawsuit filed by a gay man, who said he felt discriminated against. Complying with that...

Early in November, the popular online dating company eHarmony settled with the New Jersey Attorney General's Division on Civil Rights (DCR) over allegations that the company violated the state's anti-discrimination law by limiting its matching service to heterosexual couples. In 2005, gay New Jersey resident Eric McKinley had filed a complaint with the state, and in July 2007 the director of the DCR issued a finding of probable cause that eHarmony had violated the statute. In the face of mounting legal costs and the risk of crippling civil and administrative liabilities--stemming not only from the New Jersey investigation but other...

The gay rights movement says it is about securing rights for homosexuals. They say they want what others have in our society. Fair enough, but is this really what gay rights are about in 2008 America? Last month in Arizona, California and Florida making gay marriage legal and accepted was on the ballot. In each case, the answer was “No.” In Arkansas the question of whether unmarried couples would be allowed to adopt children was on the ballot. The proponents of the measure were up front about their desire to use the new law to head off any future wave...

My syndicated column today expands on yesterday’s eHarmony post (link). As I note, eHarmony will be forking over $5,000 to the gay plaintiff and $50,000 to New Jersey’s Civil Rights office. Here’s the entire settlement the company agreed to, via onlinedatingmagazine. There’s more on the class-action lawsuit against eHarmony proceeding in California here. And Jacob Sullum weighs in. *** The eHarmony shakedown by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2008 Congratulations, tolerance mau-mauers: Your shakedown of a Christian-targeted dating website worked. Homosexuals will no longer be denied the inalienable “right” to hook up with same-sex partners on eHarmony. What a landmark...

If you take a moment and google the phrase “gay dating service” you’ll find that there is no shortage – companies like “Pride Dating,” “GayFriendFinder.com” and “Chemistry.com” all cater to matching up gays. Never once did it occur to me – or anyone else with a life – that there were hetereosexuals out there being unfairly deprived of a chance at love because these services offered no “straight” matchmaking. That’s because there are oodles of heterosexual dating services out there. Yet, in an age where defending the traditional definition of marriage is construed as hatred, criticizing a black candidate is...

Michelle Malkin wrote today that eHarmony, a Christian-targeted dating website, was recently sued by a gay man demanding that the business match him up with a same-sex partner. The New Jersey Attorney General intervened and forced eHarmony to change its entire business model on behalf of the gay plaintiff. Sadly, eHarmony has settled and will offer same-sex dating services on a new site. The only question now is- With the courts on their side, who's next?Will Single Muslim.com be forced to carry a gay option?This website is located in the USA.Do you think they will be targeted next? UPDATE:...

The Right Weighs In on eHarmony Settlement (Hint: They’re Not Happy)by Kilian MelloyEDGE ContributorFriday Nov 21, 2008 When eHarmony refused to list matches between men seeking men or women seeking women, other sites such as Chemistry.com stepped in with their ads reading, "Because I’m Gay?" and promised gay and lesbian customers that they, too, would get a fair shake at finding someone special through their services. But for new Jersey resident Eric McKinley, that was not a satisfactory alternative. McKinley wanted the same service from the same provider that heterosexual customers would get, so, in 2005, he filed suit. The state...

Congratulations, tolerance mau-mauers: Your shakedown of a Christian-targeted dating website worked. Homosexuals will no longer be denied the inalienable "right" to hook up with same-sex partners on eHarmony. What a landmark triumph for social progress, eh? New Jersey plaintiff Eric McKinley can now crown himself the new Rosa Parks -- heroically breaking down inhumane barriers to Internet matchmaking by forcing a law-abiding private company to provide services it was never created to provide. "Men seeking men" has now been enshrined with "I have a dream" as a civil rights rallying cry of the 21st century. Bully for you, Mr. McKinley....

So, this is “progress?” eHarmony, a Christian-targeted dating website, gets sued by a gay man demanding that the business match him up with a same-sex partner. The New Jersey Attorney General intervenes on behalf of the gay plaintiff and forces eHarmony to change its entire business model. To be clear: The company never refused to do business with anyone. Their great “sin” was not providing a specialized service that litigious gay people demanded they provide. This case is akin to a meat-eater suing a vegetarian restaurant for not offering him a ribeye or a female patient suing a vasectomy doctor...

Internet-based match-maker, eHarmony has settled a lawsuit commenced against it by Eric McKinley of New Jersey. Mr. McKinley claimed that he was being discrimninated against because eHarmony does not provide gay matchmaking services. As part of the settlement, in early 2009, eHarmony will provide services for "men seeking men" and "women seeking women" all using its proprietary technology....As part of the settlement, eHarmony, Inc. will provide a free, one-year membership to Eric McKinley . . . . [and will] pay McKinley $5,000, .... and the Division on Civil Rights $50,000 to cover investigation-related administrative costs.

Online dating service eHarmony has agreed to create a new Web site — "Compatible Partners" — for gay and lesbian users, the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General announced. Created as part of a settlement with Eric McKinley, a gay man from New Jersey, the Web site will provide services for users seeking same-sex partners by March 31, New Jersey Division on Civil Rights Director J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo said. eHarmony, which was founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren in 2000, said the settlement was triggered by a Law Against Discrimination complaint filed by McKinley against the online service on...

Gay and Lesbian issues never really interested me very much. I suppose when I think of gays I still think of the ones who were my friends and neighbors back when I was going to graduate school in New York City. I am straight. They were gay. They were different from me. Big deal. There wasn't that much noise about it back then in the early 90s and if there was any noise, it completely bypassed my notice. However, things have changed. The gay and lesbian extremist groups are using the court system to completely destroy free enterprise and free...

After years on the run, the saga of Tina Loesch and her lover, Sky Hanson, ended hours after AMW aired their story on Nov. 15, 2008. While the couple took their own lives in what cops are calling a suicide pact, the investigation is far from over as authorities in three states search for Kristopher Loesch.

This month is the two year anniversary of our matching on eHarmony. On our wedding day last November, we eagerly shared our eHarmony story with all of our family and guests. At every opportunity, we praised the matching service for promoting healthy life-long marriage relationships. To the skeptics of online dating, we explained that eHarmony is unique in that the matching service doesn't promote the "hook-up" culture. According to the company's mission statement, their goal is to "help couples achieve stronger, healthier and happier marriages." We were impressed with eHarmony's online questionnaire and its ability to identify the character and...

THE world of Internet dating can be a cold, unforgiving place, particularly when it comes to the fight for customers. Chemistry.com, an online dating service, implies that its rival is out of touch with mainstream America in a new campaign. The online dating service Chemistry.com plans to unleash a new campaign that seeks to depict its older and larger competitor, eHarmony.com, as out of touch with mainstream American values. The ads, which will appear in weekly newspapers and magazines starting Monday, attack eHarmony for refusing to match people of the same gender and for the evangelical Christian beliefs of its...

eHarmony allows clients to discriminate on the race of potential mates. Even though it's only acting on the wishes of its clients, matching services that discriminate by race may violate a statute dating back to the Civil War that prohibits race discrimination in contracting. Think about it. eHarmony is a for-profit company that takes $50 from black clients and refuses to treat them the same (match them with the same people) as some white clients. A restauraunt would be in a lot of trouble if it refused to seat Hispanic customers in a section where customers stated a preference to...

I'm suing gayHarmony for discrimination.  That's right. Because without having checked, I'm certain there isn't a single homosexual site or publication that offers what I'm looking for: A heterosexual pro-life Christian who likes long walks on the beach and wants to help fight unequal justice mandated in the speech-restricting "hate crimes" bill. Those bigoted heterophobes. Before you call the thought police, I don't really think the homosexual publications should be forced to cater to me. But unfortunately, that tolerance is not reciprocated. Lesbian Linda Carlson of San Francisco is suing eHarmony because she can't find a date. They don't offer...

LAST WEEK, a lesbian filed suit against eHarmony.com because the online dating service does not fix up homosexual couples. It is ugly to watch how a group that has been asking straight Americans for tolerance and understanding can turn on a dime, as members seek to punish and shut down those with heterodox opinions. In the Bay Area, it is no secret. Here, tolerance is a one-way street. Equal rights for some mean fewer rights for others. In February, after the breakup of a 10-year relationship, San Mateo County resident Linda Carlson signed on to eHarmony. As her San Francisco...

A lawsuit filed by a Northern California lesbian against dating service eHarmony represents the types of excesses of the gay movement which do so much damage to their efforts to achieve public acceptance. According to the Reuters article linked above, eHarmony "has long rankled the gay community with its failure to offer a 'men seeking men' or 'women seeking women' option."

Valentine’s Day approaches, but it seems consumers are being standoffish about online dating. The number of U.S. Internet users visiting dating Web sites is falling, says a report set to be released Monday. Last year, only 10% of Internet users visited at least one online dating site, down from 16% in 2005 and 21% in 2002, says the report by Jupiter Research. The decline in unique visitors hasn’t yet resulted in a decline in subscribers, the study found, but the trend likely will at some point, analysts say. Other research firms track the same trend. Traffic to seven of the...

This is strictly vanity. OK, been awhile on eHarmony and still looking for the love of my life. Then I find Rush Limbaugh has signed with them. Guess his fling with Donna Karyn wasn't a match made in heaven or you'd have heard more about it by now. It makes me wonder if he's really looking to get married again. We all know he met Marta online back in the 90s. Will it it be another trip to the altar? Fire away!

Mismatched.com The Wall Street Journal Online By Ellen Gamerman About two million Americans met their spouses online. Now the divorces are starting. How dating Web sites are scrambling to make sure forever really is forever In 1995, Matt Frassica, tired of singles bars and set-ups by friends, tried his hand at dating online. There he met, and later married, a woman who also liked long walks in the rain and homemade lasagna. They were even featured in People magazine as a prototype of successful cyber-romance. Then the fairy tale ended. Mr. Frassica said he realized he was gay, and the...

Posted on Mon, Mar. 27, 2006 Married man is suing for date EHARMONY REFUSES HIM UNTIL DIVORCE Mercury News John Claassen wants a date so badly he's suing for one. He's taking eHarmony.com to court, because the popular online matchmaker refused to find him the perfect mate. Why? Because he is married. Technically, Claassen says, he is legally separated. But that's not good enough for eHarmony, which says it is in the business of matching singles ``free of relationship commitments.'' That puts him in cyber-dating limbo. ``Most people don't file a suit to get a date,'' Claassen said Friday after...

This was definitely not like having a sleepover with my best friend. As I sat across the dinner table from Melissa, on a date set up via the website eHarmony, I thought about that testimonial from their ads and laughed to myself. We were having a fine conversation, one that ranged from movies to television to music to current events (although she was a bit freaked out at my strong opinions on Iraq, not all of which were PC). But there was a certain quality about her that made me a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps it was the fact that her...

The Love Doctor Does eHarmony have the right love potion? Q&A by Kathryn Jean Lopez Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? Is online dating the right place? Dr. Neil Clark Warren, the founder of eHarmony thinks he has a winning formula for helping singles find their "soul mate" — and save marriage in America in the process. "Of all the people you meet in life, only a few would make a great marriage partner for you," Warren writes in his latest book Falling in Love for all the Right Reasons: How to Find Your Soul Mate....

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Chemistry? Forget it. Psychology and statistics best determine whether two people will have a happy marriage. At least so claims an online dating service that's patented its matchmaking formula. EHarmony.com Inc. this month received U.S. Patent No. 6,735,568, which describes a "method and system for identifying people who are likely to have a successful relationship." Not surprisingly, critics and competitors trash eHarmony's process, which saturates mate-seekers with more than 430 questions, as overly scientific. And some call the so-called "love patent" little more than a gimmick. But the patent has also sparked a debate more...
