Phone service was restored today at my home (no power or phone yet at the Church) so I can blog, post, and do all the necessary things we cyber-types do. Yesterday was a good day especially when I heard of Mier’s withdrawal. By all appearances she was a good woman but out of her league. I’m glad she withdrew.<\/p>\n
Someone sent me this quote from Ann Coulter. It hits the nail on the head.
\n<\/p>\n
THE LAST WORD<\/p>\n
We’ve been waiting 30 years to end the lunacy of nine demigods on the Supreme Court deciding every burning social issue of the day for us, loyal subjects in a judicial theocracy. We don’t want someone who will decide those issues for us\u2014but decide them ‘our’ way. If we did, a White House bureaucrat with good horse sense might be just the ticket. Admittedly, there isn’t much that’s more important than ending the abortion holocaust in America. (Abortionist casualties: 7; Unborn casualties: 30 million.) <\/p>\n
But there is one thing. That is democracy. Democracy sometimes leads to silly laws such as the one that prohibited married couples from buying contraception in Connecticut. But allowing Americans to vote has never led to cr\u00e9ches being torn down across America. It’s never led to prayer being purged from every public school in the nation. It’s never led to gay marriage. It’s never led to returning slaves who had escaped to free states to their slavemasters. And it’s never led to 30 million dead babies. We’ve gone from a representative democracy to a monarchy, and the most appalling thing is\u2014even conservatives just hope like the dickens the next king is a good one. \u2014Ann Coulter <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
