Super freaks: Pro-abortion clergy

The “Reverend” Chuck Currie posted this Open Letter from Religious Leaders to Members of Congress Supporting Inclusion of Abortion Services in Health Care Reform.  Who needs Syrup of Ipecac when you have religious people not only wanting legalized abortion (bad enough) but wanting to make pro-lifers pay for it?  That isn’t pro-choice, that is pro-abortion.
And who doesn’t [...]

Give people the benefit of the doubt. You can always overreact later.

Regardless of your type of organization, you should not employ members of ideological groups bent on your destruction.

Election stuff — hopefully the Republicans learned some good lessons!

There were lots of important lessons from election night.  Despite the spin of Democrats and Obama pretending not to care about the results, they stumped heavily for losing candidates.  Obama could not get them re-elected.  That should tell the Blue-dog Democrats not to cave in when standing up for life and against the health care [...]

Budget deficits: One picture says it all

For the record, I thought that President Bush spent way too much money.  But even more for the record, consider these projected deficits.  They make the Bush spending look like break-even years — and this is before the atrocious health care bill. 

I know Obama likes to blame Bush for all his problems, even though that is 180 [...]

Blank checks to unelected officials = bad idea

There are many causes for concern buried in the health care bill, but one of the greatest is the vague and broad powers given to unelected officials, such as the ability to prevent tort reform.  As evidenced in Texas, tort reform is one of the best ways to improve the health care situation.  But not [...]

Obama & Pelosi lied, the unborn will die — funded by your tax dollars!

Despite the repeated lies from President Obama and Nancy Pelosi, Pelosi’s healthcare plan would directly fund abortion.  Anyone surprised by that is beyond naive. 
As I noted in Of course the health care bill includes abortion, if the bill didn’t have (barely) hidden abortion coverage, why wouldn’t pro-abortion groups be lobbying for its inclusion?   This is the mother-of-all-health-care-bills and we’re [...]

Don’t be suckers: Twenty Questions on Reid’s Opt Out Plan

From Twenty Questions on Reid’s Opt Out Plan » The Foundry:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that he would bring to the Senate floor a bill that includes a new “public plan,” but with a provision allowing states to “opt-out.” In response to a reporter’s question, Reid said that states would have until 2014 [...]

(Unhinged) Birds of a feather

Many advocates for legalized abortion, oxymoronic “same sex marriage,” New Atheism / macro-evolution, global warming  and any non-Liberal speech in general (i.e., the war on Fox) have something in common: They fear open debate and want to shut up their opponents.  They will tell you with a straight face that freedom of speech only applies [...]

No wonder men don’t want to get married

I love being married and wouldn’t trade it for anything (Best. Wife. Ever.).  But I can see why young men today are so fearful of marriage. 
Go read Jennifer Roback Morse evaluates the economics of no-fault divorce by Wintery Knight.  It is a major reason for men to be scared of commitment.
It is especially important for unmarried [...]

Business — the best way to help Africa?

I’ve had a heart for Africa for some time.  One of our World Vision sponsor children is from Kenya.  We’ve been writing Dennis for 10 years and I’ve been able to visit with him three times on mission trips there.  My wife and I are planning to go to Kenya on another mission trip in [...]

Joe Isuzu and the health care plan

Who remembers Joe Isuzu, the pathological liar in some funny car commercials?  He would make outrageous claims while the subtitles read He’s lying.

I thought of him when processing the lies from the health care reform proponents.  Everyone can slip at times and make mistakes, but with enough time and experience you learn [...]

While we’re on the ACORN and Roman Polanski topics . . .

 . . . wouldn’t this be a good time to remind everyone how Planned Parenthood aggressively covers up statutory rape and how an Obama “czar” coached a 15 year old boy to stay in a physical relationship with an older man he met at a bus station?
Just as with ACORN, Planned Parenthood pretended that the [...]

Here’s a pro-choice position I support: School choice

This is some encouraging news out of L.A., where 250 of 800 public schools are going the charter route – Cracking the education monopoly.  It must have been difficult to overcome the anti-choice union opposition.  Good for these parents!

Guest post: The Day of the Covenant

Welcome to another guest post, this one by Michael (aka Racing Boo).  I enjoy Michael’s thoughtful and often humorous comments so I asked him to do a guest post on a topic of his choice.  I hope you read and enjoy a fascinating look in to the history and politics of South Africa.

One free crime!

Super Policeman Mike catches bad guys with 1,375 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA. Cheech and Chong couldn’t even claim that was for personal use, so they were obviously big dealers.  So of course they go to prison for a really long time, right?   Not exactly:

It has been nearly 2 years since I seized this jackpot of green-ness. Know [...]

Is this legal for the Capitol Hill Switchboard to do? — UPDATE — IT WAS A LEFT-WING SCAM

UPDATE — Some good news — it wasn’t the real Capitol Hill switchboard.  Kudos to the Stop the ACLU site for posting a prominent correction.  That is one of the reasons I trust them and various other conservative sites.  When they make a mistake it isn’t put on page 19 in small font, if published [...]
