Lately, Family Guy had being making fun of so many left-wing sacred cows, I was beginning to wonder if Seth MacFarlane had been red-pilled. But this week, Family Guy returned to mocking one of the left’s most-hated groups: Christians. Family Guy has been downright sacrilegious in its attacks on Christianity in the past. This week, in the episode “Cat Fight,” on November 3, it called Christians, and religious believers in general, “stupid” and “idiots.” In the episode, Lois takes Chris and Meg to a Christian family camp after her children get in trouble in school. When they paint pictures of...

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has donated $2 million to a Democratic Super PAC aiming to win back control of the U.S. Senate this November, Federal Election Commission filings show. According to the documents, MacFarlane made his $2 million donation on April 2nd, representing just under one-quarter of the PAC’s overall haul of $8.7 million. “Senate Majority PAC was founded by experienced, aggressive Democratic strategists with one mission: To win Senate races,” the group’s mission statement reads. “Running transparent, low-overhead, take-no-prisoners independent campaigns, we defend Democrats from Republican attacks, aggressively contest open Senate seats, and go after Republicans on their...

The Orville Episode 4 Review: If the Stars Should Appear The Orville runs into a massive ship adrift in space, and the story, although familiar in some ways, unfolds impressively. [This "The Orville" review contains spoilers] The Orville Season 1 Episode 4 You’d think that after many seasons and spinoffs of Star Trek, we’d have seen an episode like this one, but The Orville is proving that it can break new ground even as it treads familiar territory. Encountering a society blinded by self-imposed ignorance is nothing new, of course, but the manner in which this show presents its encounters...

Socialist Bernie Sanders traveled to Hollywood for several fundraisers, including a small-dollar event for hundreds at the Avalon nightclub, where Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane endorsed Sanders for President. MacFarlane said that he was particularly impressed by a response that Sanders gave at Tuesday night’s debate. Asked what was the country’s greatest national security threat, Sanders answered climate change: I wanna tell you the moment when, for me, Bernie Sanders won last night’s debate. The question was asked: What is the greatest national security threat to the United States?...Senator Sanders was the only candidate on that stage who gave the...

Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and David Vitter (R-La.) heatedly clashed Wednesday during a hearing on nuclear power safety. Boxer, the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, was criticized by Vitter, the ranking Republican, for her treatment of a witness. At one point, she gaveled down Vitter and told him he is powerless to stop her, saying, “When you have this gavel, you make the rules.” The quarrel started when Boxer repeatedly asked Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairwoman Allison Macfarlane whether her agency has implemented any of the recommendations from a task force set up after the 2011 Fukushima...

One of the actors involved in the hit cartoon series "Family Guy" has come out in support of Sarah Palin by voicing his disapproval of a Down Syndrome joke in a recent episode. As NewsBusters reported on Valentine's Day, the Fox program made what some have considered a tasteless swipe at the Palins by having a character with Down Syndrome state, "[My] mom is the former governor of Alaska." Sarah and Bristol Palin later expressed their disgust with the remark while the actress directly involved said they needed to get a sense of humor. According to the Washington Post's TV...

For fans of the button-pushing cartoon, Family Guy, the subject matter of last Sunday's episode was hardly shocking. Chris Griffin, the show's awkward teenager, goes on a date with Ellen, a girl with Down syndrome. "So what do your parents do?" he innocently asks. Her response? "My dad's an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska." That one-line jab at Sarah Palin's special needs son, Trig, has led to a war of words between Palin and Seth MacFarlane, the cartoon's irreverent creator. Now, the battle between the two is being waged on TV, with a little-known actress...

Talk show host Rush Limbaugh, former Bush strategist Karl Rove and other famous Republicans will play themselves on Fox's left-leaning "Family Guy" next season. Karl rove In an episode being produced for next season, the Griffins' liberal dog, Brian, gets bored and frustrated because he feels he no longer has anything to complain about with Barack Obama in the White House. So Brian becomes a Republican and starts listening to Rush Limbaugh (who, apparently, also sings a song). "'Family Guy' tends to be very liberal because it's written by liberals," creator Seth MacFarlane said. "So we thought let's give the...

Psychologist forcing quit homeschooling 9/13/04 I'm Bai Macfarlane and we are a homeschooling family in trouble. My husband abandoned me in the summer of 2003 and subsequently filed for divorce.

Mary answers our prayersPerseverance in praying the Rosary taught the Macfarlane family to expect answers. by Bud Macfarlane, Jr., MI During my senior year at the University of Notre Dame, I taught another student how to pray the Rosary. Her name was Christi "Bai" TePas. Along with several friends, Bai and I consecrated ourselves to Mary Immaculate on Dec. 8, 1983. Then, I lost track of Bai after I graduated. She spent the next seven years praying the Rosary every day to find a husband. And as Providence would have it, he turned out to be me! In 1990, we...
