What’s The Difference Between The Holocaust, Lynchings, Crucifixions and Abortion?

Nothing.
They are all horrors of man’s legacy.  Repulsive chapters of our sinful failing.  Parts of our past of which we are ashamed and committed to never allow to be repeated.
Oh wait…. I guess abortion is still around.  Why is that?  Millions more have died from abortion than the other three combined.  We’ve debated it into [...]

Does Egypt Have Access To The Internet?

Seems that they might have wanted Google “Swine Flu” before wiping out their pork industry and destroying the livelihood of their farmers. But that’s just me. Between that and the White House idiot who ordered the NYC flyover, there seem to be a lot of government apologies going out these days.
GENEVA – The [...]

Notre Dame Decides To Go To Reruns

We’ve been wondering what Catholic in their right mind would accept the Laetare Medal this year in light of the courageous “no thanks” from Mary Ann Glendon.  And while the obvious suspects (all of whom happen to be named Kennedy) never materialized it seems that even Fr. Jenkins saw a problem inviting a Biden, Pelosi [...]

Inspirational Photo of the Day

Friends, we have much work to do.  I’m sort of surprised that the bible (assuming that small book really is one) did not spontaneously combust.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is sworn in by Tim Saunders, Executive Clerk of the White House, as President Barack Obama holds the Bible in the Oval Office of [...]

Air Force One Gets Around Even More Than We Were First Led To Believe

With thanks and kudos to JP in CA for tipping us to these.

I Told My Cat To Beware of Swine Flu

Surprise? No. Disappointment? Yes. War? The One to Truly End All.

The Sebelius confirmation yesterday was not a surprise, nor was Senator Brownback’s vote in favor.  Both were disappointing but neither surprising.
It will be interesting to see how quickly America comes to discover “just how liberal” Kathleen Sebelius is, now that the shackles of the conservative Kansas state legislature have been shed, and she is free [...]

Welcome NCR Readers!

I was alerted to the fact that National Catholic Reporter finally reported on Bishop Finn’s address to the Gospel of Life Convention that was held 10 days ago and reported by most major Catholic media last week.  The NCR report was nothing new as it merely reprinted Bishop Finn’s remarks.  I did find many of [...]

I’m From the Government and I’m Here To Help

I was struck by this AP lead.
DETROIT – General Motors, once the colossus of American capitalism, will become a leaner, government-owned company if the Obama administration goes along with the automaker’s plan to slash jobs, close plants and eliminate the legendary Pontiac brand.
I never thought I would live to see “leaner, government owned” together in [...]

Position Open: Unprincipled Catholic Wanting to Pad Resume Needed ASAP

In the wake of the noble and appropriate action of Mary Ann Glendon, the University of Notre Dame released the following:

The following statement from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, is in response to the decision by Mary Ann Glendon to decline acceptance of the University’s Laetare Medal:
“We are, [...]

Shake Down The Thunder

It’s spring here in America’s heartland so thunderstorms are a rite of the season and some are even expected later today.  Meanwhile, the storm that is raging at Notre Dame has seen yet another bolt of lightning.
Father Thomas Eutenauer is President of Human Life International.  I love this man.  Yesterday I commented about Senator Sam [...]

What Will Sam Brownback Do?

Senator Sam Brownback is running for Governor of Kansas.  He wants Kathleen Sebelius out of the political way.  Thus her becoming Secretary of HHS would go a long way to that goal.  But Senator Brownback has long been a vocal pro-life Senator and will soon cast a vote on Sebelius’ confirmation.  The Washington Times asks [...]

Kansas Catholic Conference Minces No Words

God permits evil not only to forge us in good but also to allow us the opportunity to bring a greater good from it.  It is hard to see the good swimming in the pool of blood that is the Kathleen Sebelius/George Tiller/Planned Parenthood triangle, but perhaps we can for now, grasp onto the firm [...]

Real Must See TV

Issues can be debated.  History cannot.  The Catholic Church has always stood against Socialism.  The principle of divide and conquer has won more battles than any other.  The Catholic Church is Obama’s strongest single opposition.  To conquer it, he must divide it.

United we stand, divided we fall.
