The latest episode of the “Consider This!” podcast is out. Conservative commentary in 10 minutes or less. I got our first e-mail listener feedback from what I talked about last episode, regarding whether or not legalizing same-sex marriage necessarily leads to polygamy. I thought it had to, but one listener took on my challenge to come up […]
The latest episode of the “Consider This!†podcast is out. Conservative commentary in 10 minutes or less. The bombing of the Boston Marathon started a number of things; a terrorism investigation, increased security all over the country, and the media’s attempt to, again, blame the Right for domestic terrorism. Folks, please, let’s take care of the wounded and […]
What the Cherokee Nation is pushing for and the South Carolina Supreme Court erroneously overlooked – is that any woman, of any heritage, who sleeps with any man of any apparent heritage – even a one night stand – CANNOT go ahead with an adoption without somehow ensuring that this man does not have a smidgen of tribal heritage.
WHAT does this kind of ruling do for the rights of women – of unwed mothers? What kinds of hoops will teenage girls now have to go through if the Supreme Court rules for the tribal governments? Where is the outrage from women’s groups over this case?
And yet – no one would say a thing of she opted to abort her baby instead. The tribal government wouldn’t – couldn’t stop her from doing that. Just consider the ramifications of a tribal government victory in this case.
Our Families are NOT Chattel for tribal governments – no matter how many claim them to be. As parents, we will continue to fight for full rights and freedom for our families – every one of whom is a United States Citizen – even if this Supreme Court makes the wrong decision.
Paul Ryan Wins Vice Presidential Debate as Biden Yells, Interrupts, and Bullies – Joe Biden was rude, condescending, angry, and simply over the top in his behavior throughout just about the entire debate; so much so that his behavior was the primary topic of discussion on all the social networks.
This is a case where your vote absolutely counts. Control of the Texas State Senate rests in your hands. Texans in state senate district 10 need to get to the polls on Election Day and vote the conservative Dr. Mark Shelton to replace Liberal Wendy Davis. The district’s demographics are in Dr. Shelton’s favor, and […]
Rape, incest, or the life of the mother; these are typically the three reasons under which almost everyone would say that an abortion should be permissible. Well, an international symposium on maternal healthcare in Dublin, Ireland last weekend may reduce that number. About 140 medical professionals were at the event, including experts in obstetrics and […]
GMA and ESPN are now promoting hate speech against Catholics under the guise of accusing Filipine boxer Pacquiao of homophobia. From “An Open Letter to Manny Pacquiao From a Gay Filipina American,” …your parents give you Catholicism as a kind of heavy gift. A centuries-old guide for every life transition a human can go through. […]
I once lived under a dictatorship, so we rarely believed what the government run media told us. Because of the censorship of the media, rumors tended to spread wildly and so to find out what was going on, we relied on word of mouth from other missionaries, and every night we listened to the BBC’s […]
Anti Catholicism has a long history in the US, an inheritance from England, where the religious wars for and against the regency of Queen Elizabeth led to Catholics being demonized as evil. ( Elizabeth was inconveniently conceived before her mother married, and many folks said her mother never married the king at all, so this […]
I had to laugh. Jane Fonda is among the fainting feminists who want Rush Limbaugh removed from the airways for insulting a woman. Well, she has a point. Technically, the word to describe those of either or both sexes who have sexual relations outside of marriage is “fornicator”, and this is not illegal in the […]
[Please click here for part 1, as this just picks up where that left off. Also, another blogger found the article again at a new URL on the same site. I’d searched using their advance search form with no success, but glad that it’s back so people can read the whole thing.] The newborn and […]
Last Friday, I noted in my Friday Link Wrap-up medical "ethicists" are seriously arguing that post-birth newborns are ‘not persons’ and can ethically be "aborted". I also posted this article on Facebook, and one of my friends took me to task on it. He said that "sloppy agenda laden journalism" has misinterpreted their intent, and […]
It’s hard to follow American politics from ten thousand miles away (I live in the rural Philippines, and we get the news a day late), but as a Democrat, I was bemused to read in today’s papers that Rick Santorum just won in the Republican primaries of Minnesota and Missouri. Santorum? I wasn’t aware he […]
Here in the Philippines, thanks to Wikileaks, we know that not only American money is behind our “Reproductive Health Bill”, but that the American State Department is pressuring our president to pass the bill. Heaven knows that the Philippines does need access to cheaper Birth control, but it’s not as if it’s not available: they […]
I came across this article yesterday on the Science 2.0 website, with a very honest title; "I confess: I don’t know when human life begins". Paul Knoepfler, Associate Professor of Cell Biology and Human Anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine, walks through all the stages of gestation and does, however, come up with his […]
In April, 2008, the press was hailing the brilliance of Barack Obama, and dissing the much more experienced Hillary Clinton for not dropping out of the race, even though the race was close and several primaries were still due to be held. So, when in early April, stories started percolating on right wing blogs and […]
Oklahoma has overrode two bills vetoed by the senator today. This override puts the bills into effect immediately. The first bill will require all women interested in getting an abortion to receive an ultrasound, and hear a detailed description of what it shows. I can understand getting an ultrasound for that sort of procedure. That […]
I have many ethical problems with the Obama Health Care bill. But the real story that is being ignored about Obama’s health care bill is that it kowtows to big insurance and big drug companies, who stand to make a killing from the bill. Reuter’s review of “winners and loser” should give you pause: hospitals […]
(Fake photo credit: Chris Jamison) So the health care "reform" bill passed last night, complete with payoffs, abortion funding and fake projections of "savings" required to try to pass it via reconciliation. And in an entirely "unipartisan" manner. (Even the New Deal had bipartisan support.) So what does this mean for American politics? Glad you […]
Once again, as is so often true, Ronald Reagan saw this on the horizon and spoke of this in his many speeches.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4noO9Wirps I cannot stress this enough. This is the week, Americans! If we stand by and allow it to happen, this is the week that will go down in history as the week our […]
This just in. Despite the president’s promise that no taxpayer money will be spent in funding elective abortions (i.e. those not done for genetic or severe health reasons), the latest report in USA today says that they are pushing a slight of hand to promote abortion as part of the health care bill. USA Today […]
You do not represent me, a low income widow with a racially diverse family. You do not represent my daughters, two of whom have had children out of wedlock while still in their teens. We love our babies and would never hurt them. Please don’t pretend to speak for all women.
Ah, a British paper just pooh poohed the British victory at the Battle of Agincourt, saying that Prince Hal was not outnumbered 4 to 1, merely outnumbered 2 to 1. Actually, the author misses the point, which is that the elite knights of France got slowed down by the mud and were massacred by ordinary […]
Using a slight of hand and having his propaganda mill obscure what has been done, the Democrats and the Obama administration are planning to fund abortion in their health care bill. The original “compromise” on abortion was a slight of hand that would force people to pay for abortion coverage themselves, similar to the way […]
According to the Associated Press, Planned Parenthood plans to close five of its clinics in the state of Indiana in anticipation of a shortage in federal funding for the nonprofit organization. The clinics are located in Anderson, Franklin, Kokomo, northwest Indianapolis and Shelbyville. The Indiana Family Health Council will begin distributing the funds for Title […]
I have seen a growing number of liberal articles being printed which attempt to paint conservative Christians as hippocrites for opposing the healthcare reform bill. Let me first say that I am overjoyed that modern day liberals could take the time out of their busy day to find and crack open a bible, but am […]
From the desk of Charlie Churchill’s Parrot But if we fail, then the whole world … will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister … by the lights of perverted science.                                                        — Sir Winston Churchill, June 18, 1940 My Dear Democrat United States Congresspersons, We do hope you are […]
So…those of you that believe Cenzon-DeCarlo should have gotten another job: Do you honestly think that this nurse is the only one that doesn’t want to participate in abortions?
President Obama wants to get health care reform accomplished by the first week of August. Although there are many substantial issues which are unclear, central to the debate is the role of abortion as a covered benefit. While the nation has been focusing on health care, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently gave readers […]
The headline of an Opinion column written by JAMES KIRCHICK, in the latest Wall Street Journal (linked below) reads: “The Religious Right Didn’t Kill George Tiller.” Of course that’s an accurate statement but the underlying sentiment — the “story” in the piece — is that anti-abortion activists are completely blameless and that’s absurd. When you […]
