I guess I got out of the Federal government’s health system just in time.
Obama has stopped the implementation of protections for medical workers who oppose abortion.
It won’t get headlines, however: the headlines say “White House stops pending Bush Regulations for Review”
… Bush administration include allowing the carrying of concealed weapons in some national parks and prohibiting medical facilities from receiving […]

M.I.T. graduate Will Bradshaw is co-founder and President of Green Coast Enterprises, using innovative procedures to rebuild New Orleans homes devastated by Katrina. He is pro-life. He is voting for Barack Obama.
When Bradshaw describes himself as “pro-life,” he is speaking about an issue that goes beyond the simplistic code word that usually refers only […]

As a convenience store clerk who works the graveyard shift I have been robbed seven times. Because I am willing to walk home from work alone, I have been sexually assaulted twice. Sexual assault covers two crimes – an aggravated assault (in my case, stabbing) and/or a sexual act […]

Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson writes that in his own way, Trig Palin, too has made history in this election year:  
In addition to Barack Obama making history as the first African American to be nominated for president and Sarah Palin taking her shotgun to the glass ceiling, there was a third civil rights barrier […]

Ted Lipien, author of “Wojtyla’s Women: How They Shaped the Life of Pope John Paul II and Changed the Catholic Church,” said that Sarah Palin can be described as a New Feminist Christian woman who has followed the most important rules for marriage and families set by the Polish Pontiff.

John McCain is depending on Palin power to generate the kind of grass roots swell that delivers an upset November 4Th. Even GOP insiders admitted prior to Palins selection, the party strategy was to sandbag downstream and retain as many house and senate seats as possible in the face of an inevitable Obama landslide.
What a […]

Whether it is true or not, that several high ranking democratic party insiders and senior Obama-Biden campaign staffers are privately expressing a sense of growing anxiety over the popularity of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. I speculate the deployment of Hillary Clinton to shore up support amongst women and independents who may account for some of […]

Ms. Steinem: That chromosome AK Gov. Sarah Palin and NY Sen. Hilary Clinton share is the same one that you and Palin - and all women - share as well. But it is Palin – whom Cindy McCain described as a “reform-minded … hockey-mommin’ …  basketball shootin’ … moose huntin’ … fly-fishin’ … pistol-packing … […]

After John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate and claimed to have known in advance that her 17-year old daughter Bristol was pregnant, I was having coffee with a Downtown Eastside friend and said, “What would Dr. Laura think?”. What Dr. Laura thinks matters, as the millions of daily listeners to this […]

As a liberal Christian I was content to blog about the need to debate Governor Palin’s conservative ideals and leave personality and character attacks at the door. At first glance she impressed me as one of the few evangelicals in national politics who actually seemed to practice what she preaches. I may utterly disagree with her politics but I can respect her sincerity and accomplishment for having stood up […]

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson notes that Spike Lee has taken to “grandiloquently divid[ing] American history into two epochs, “B.B.” and “A.B.” - Before Barack and After Barack.” With John McCain’s selection of AK Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, Obama went from making history to being history in the span of 12 hours.

My fellow liberals may just mock Sarah Palin right into the White House, the gut reaction most liberal and moderate pundits expressed toward the Governor of Alaska, was the very emotion she used to get herself elected in the first place,
John McCain’s gamble may just be hoping the Obama campaign will focus on her personality […]

I am not sure if I was the only commentator, of a liberal bent, who welcomed John McCain’s securing of the Republican Party’s nomination for President. I guess that I was so relieved that it seemed that whatever the election outcome a line could be drawn beneath the repulsive Bush/Cheney years – and the NeoCons […]

Well, Nancy Pelosi put her foot into it. When asked on “Meet the Press” about abortion, she quoted St. Augustine out of context to prove Catholics once did not consider the fetus a full human, implying that her support of abortion on demand up until the fetus was partially born was moral, and the bishops […]

In a brilliant move clearly aimed at appeasing the Christian Far Right, John McCain stunned the political world by announcing that Bigfoot will be his vice presidential choice. The surprise announcement brought unified praise from Bush/Cheney Republicans, Pavlovian evangelical extremists, and knuckle-dragging pundits in what is being dubbed a bold political stroke.
Rush Limbaugh expressed mild […]

After John McCain stole the show at Rick Warren’s “Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency,” Barack Obama’s moonbat and MSM supporters cried foul. They insisted that since McCain was en route during part of Obama’s interview with Warren, he could have been listening to the questions and answers.  
As “proof,” the conspiracy theorists pointed out […]

Some would argue that journalism died in 2007 when “fake news” anchor Jon Stewart was ranked among the most trusted TV news anchors in the U.S. - along with that other fake news purveyor, Dan Rather (second item) in a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. But “citizen journalist” Rick […]

Today’s google news on Georgia has a statement from Senator Obama as the top headline.
What’s wrong with this picture? The dirty little secret is that Obama’s first statement on Russian aggression against the country of Georgia was along the lines of: “why can’t we all be friends”.
The relationship between Russia and the West is long […]

For someone who is selling himself as a “uniter,” Barack Obama has managed to create fissures and fault lines between and among every conceivable voting bloc – and has even divided spouses and families.
Case in point: Jesse Jackson père and fils having a public falling out over the elder Jackson’s having been caught on tape […]

Peter Steinfels of the NYTimes has read and analyzed Senator Obama’s speech proposing to increase funding of church charities as is done by President Bush’s “faith based initiatives”.
The original report was hopeful (NYTIMES LINK). The first part sounded hopeful:
In embracing the same general approach as Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama ran the political risk of alienating […]

I have been reading that the Muslims are cursing the knight hood given to Salman Rushdie by Queen Elizabeth. There are ways to look at these honors   and reach a conclusion. It is also a parameter to judge the jury who choose Rushdie for this honor. Let us see some reasons why Rushdie deserved this honor.

The NYTIMES clone, the International Herald Tribune, now admits that Hillary is fading from view in the press.

April 30, 2008 - Rudy Giuliani, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and a host of other high profile politicians, actors, and social advocates need to clearly understand that the practice of Catholicism is a committed lifestyle of faithful and loving adherence to the Church’s regulations and teachings.

Taking example from John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI did not scold Americans during his first pontifical visit to the United States. Just like John Paul II, he was also concerned about his public image. Vatican diplomats have admitted as much in their pre-trip media interviews when they suggested that the pope will try to present a moderate tone during his American visit. More […]
