A pertinent question for 2008 might be: How many 9/11’s does it take to wake a sleeping giant and keep him alert at the helm?More than one, it would seem.
How quickly America has been lulled back to sleep. With a heap of help from our watchful media. [Read more…]

Since in the teaching of the Church, abortion is wrong and equivalent to the taking of innocent life, that is, a form of murder, it is a “thing that does damage.” The name take by those who encourage and facilitate abortions, to promote their cause is “Pro-Choice.” Because few would agree that abortion is a “thing that is good in itself,” they do not usually call themselves “Pro-Abortion.” By projecting “choice” rather than “abortion” they distract us from the fact that they are encouraging and making easier a behavior that is wrong.

Last year’s scamnesty bill had widespread support among the powers-that-be, with the president, the Democrat majority and mainstream media all singing its praises. Yet it went down to defeat, slain by a new-media coalition of talk radio and blogosphere warriors. Working tirelessly to expose the truth and rally the grassroots, they became a David who slew a Goliath. [Read more…]

Daniel interpreted the writing on the wall for the decadent King Belshazzar. “You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting” (Daniel 5:27). Socialized medicine deserves similar judgment. [Read more…]
