Blood Money: The Economics of the Abortion Industry
24 Jan 2011 8:46 pm

On this 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, one aspect that the pro-life community must continually remind our fellow countrymen of is the economics of the abortion industry. Similar to a successful corporation, the billion dollar infanticide business is the result of one of the most successful marketing campaigns in American history.
This “silent holocaust” where 3,500 American babies are aborted daily, is the ultimate exploitation of women. But the people who work at abortion clinics, and the politicians who sustain and encourage such establishments, earn a living by selling abortion …

A Conservative Celebration in the Capitol
1 Jan 2011 10:32 pm

The city of Washington, D.C. is filled with much more Scrooges than those who are spiritual, and vague references to a “winter holiday” is the best that many can muster during the Christmas season. For those who are annoyed with the politically correct and meaningless philosophy of “Happy Holidays,” there is a new place to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas that does not shy away from putting Christ at the center.
The Gaylord National Resort, in the two-year old town of National Harbor, Maryland, is only a brief drive from …

My Personal “Pat-Down” Experience
28 Nov 2010 8:33 pm

The images on television of children, the elderly, and other individuals who pose zero threat to our aviation security experiencing “pat-downs” by TSA officials at airports is disturbing. This issue became personal to me as I was forced into a pat-down and threatened that I would never get through security until I complied, and I now believe that these demeaning acts are unconstitutional.
At O’Hare airport, returning to the east coast after the Thanksgiving holiday, I purposefully stood in the long line for regular metal detectors rather than the much shorter …

Can’t Be Tamed
17 Nov 2010 1:17 pm

With her eighteenth birthday one week away, it seems that, more than ever, Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed even when her sexualized new image is causing her popularity and her profits from sales to drop. Her new video, “Who Owns My Heart,” features Miley writhing in bed with no pants, with brief flashes of her black underwear, and her provocatively dancing with both genders. This video recently caused the traditional group Parents Television Council, who coincidentally has her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, on their advisory board, to release a statement …

Another Example of the War on Boyhood
7 Jan 2010 11:38 pm

During my annual Advent pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., I encountered a glaring example of how marginalized boys have become in our schools.
I always enjoy a particular display, sponsored by the Holy Childhood Association (HCA), which hosts a national competition of drawings related to Christmas. Every year since 1928, the HCA has chosen twenty-four winners from children in first through eighth grade, and these images are made into Christmas cards that all may purchase.
It is natural to admire the creativity …

America Needs Industry, Obama Needs Therapy
9 Nov 2009 2:47 pm

More so than any other time in our history, Americans are beginning to believe there are no solutions to the many crises that we are experiencing. Even on a local level, which is often cushioned from the national difficulties of excess spending, a drastically increasing deficit and a larger percentage of our debt being own by foreign government, people are discouraged and disarrayed as how best to solve threats to our prosperity and way of life.
In one of her most recent opinion editorials from The Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan …

Obama Forces Our Veterans to Question if Their Life is “Worth Living”
3 Oct 2009 1:20 am

First President Obama’s Homeland Security department accused our veterans of being right-wing extremists and potential terrorists. Now his Veterans Affairs (VA) agency is advocating euthanasia and forcing our veterans to question if their live has any value.
In 1997, during the Clinton administration, an end-of-life booklet called “Your Life, Your Choices,” was distributed among all the VA hospitals and nursing homes. The main author, Dr. Robert Pearlman, is in favor of physician-assisted suicide and a rationing of health care services, and his beliefs were blatantly advocated in the booklet.
President George W. …

Sarah Palin Refutes Obamacare in WSJ Op-ed
9 Sep 2009 7:01 am

On the same day that President Obama is poised to deliver a key speech to Congress regarding his healthcare plan, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin wrote an editorial in The Wall Street Journal countering the specifics of his proposal.
Governor Palin first addresses Obama’s assurance that health care reform will decrease waste and inefficiency:
“First, ask yourself whether the government that brought us such ‘waste and inefficiency’ and ‘unwarranted subsidies’ in the first place can be believed when it says that this time it will get things right. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget …

Islamofascist Terrorists Expected to Focus on “Soft Targets”
8 Sep 2009 11:39 am

As security at military bases and government buildings is increasingly improved, Islamofascist terrorists are predicted to focus on “soft targets” such as hotels and other targets that are easier to attack.
According to the Military Times, “Al-Qaida is changing from a centralized organization with global goals to regional ‘franchises’ with more parochial aims and strong grassroots support…These smaller cells get less training and less money, so they set their sights lower.”
In the eight years since September 11, 2001, the number of terrorist attacks on hotels has more than doubled, as compared …

Against Family’s Wishes, the AP Releases Picture of Dying Marine
7 Sep 2009 5:56 pm

Despite special appeals by both Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the fallen soldier’s family, the Associated Press (AP) released photographs of a severely injured Marine during his last, excruciatingly painful moments of life.
Lance Corporal Joshua “Bernie” Bernard, a twenty-one year old from Maine, was serving in Afghanistan. On August 14, 2009, he was struck by a grenade in an ambush and suffered fatal leg injuries.
AP photographer Julie Jacobson took a picture of Lance Corporal Bernard’s wounded and bleeding body as he lay dying. The AP then decided to release the …

Obama Wants Americans to Remember 9/11 by Fighting “Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists”
4 Sep 2009 11:23 am

Our president seems to believe himself more King than elected representative. Barack Obama has shown himself to be as despotic as George III through overly harsh taxation and forcing his will on the people. Like George used the Parliament, Obama is using Congress to assert his supremacy in a socialist empire. Now, Obama is inciting coercion by advising his followers to fight “Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists,” which is anyone who disagrees with his proposed healthcare policy.
On Patriot Day, one would “hope” that our President would encourage us to respectfully remember …

Average American Derangement Syndrome, Part 2
27 Aug 2009 1:18 am

The contempt and condescension of the left toward regular citizens has never shown itself more fully than these past weeks during the healthcare reform debates. Any person, from any party, who disagrees with Obama on socialized medicine, has been vilified by liberal politicians and their allies in the media, thus providing continuous examples of Average American Derangement Syndrome. Their first mode of attack was to generally insult the healthcare protesters:
- Barney Frank, responding to a lady at his town hall meeting with an opposing view from his: “On what planet …

Average American Derangement Syndrome
6 Aug 2009 11:33 pm

As vicious as Bush (and then Palin) Derangement Syndrome is, there is a new target of the left that makes the former disorders seems mundane. Democrats and liberals have always been contemptuous of the average person, but their treatment of those citizens who disagree with the Obama administration’s policies is unprecedented. Peaceful protesters are likened to rowdy hordes, individuals who question their representative at a roundtable discussion are deemed traitors, any person who holds traditional beliefs of any kind is branded a fanatic, and most disgracefully our brave war veterans …

Hilton Hotel Hosted Islamic Terrorism Conference in Chicago
22 Jul 2009 10:58 pm

This past Sunday a Hilton hotel right outside of Chicago hosted a conference for Hizbut-Tahrir, an Islamic extremist group connected to terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda. The seminar was entitled, “The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam” and was attended by approximately 500 Hizbut-Tahrir members. As the title of their gathering suggests, the speakers condemned capitalist systems while encouraging a growth of global Islamic influence.
Hizbut-Tahrir’s official English-speaking website stated this conference, to be held in several cities around the world, will “illustrate the coming era of global …

Is Palin Uniting or Dividing Republicans?
17 Jul 2009 1:44 am

Speculations, even from Rush Limbaugh, that Governor Sarah Palin might form a third party has put her back in focus even more than after her recent resignation as governor. Thus, it is reasonable for Republicans, conservatives, and traditionally minded Americans to ask: Is Mrs. Palin producing a rebirth of conservatism and conservative candidates, or is she a distraction and a severing influence on the party?
A second question to ask ourselves is why there is such a cult-like status for Governor Palin among some conservatives? She is the best known …

Appeals Court Forces Pharmacists to Dispense the Morning After Pill
14 Jul 2009 12:27 am

On July 8, 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that pharmacists are required, regardless of their moral opposition, to provide Plan B, commonly known as the “morning-after pill.” The court’s decision took immediate effect in all western states, although this ruling will inevitably encourage abortion rights activists throughout America to use the court system to eradicate the choice of pharmacists, and other medical professionals, who have a religious or ethical opposition to abortion.
The Court stated in their ruling that, “Any refusal to dispense [Plan B]–regardless of whether …

Sanford and the Soul-Mate Scenario
10 Jul 2009 12:33 am

The passion versus power conflict within Governor Mark Sanford is a scenario seen in certain influential and important men, some of whom risk their ambition by engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior. But, when their indiscretions with a woman are based on love there can perhaps be more sympathy and forgiveness than if the affair was based on lust alone.
Of the many examples of a sacrifice of power for love, there was none so infamous during the last century as England’s King Edward VIII. He met Wallis Simpson in …

North Korea: Missed Opportunities for Two Decades
26 Jun 2009 1:37 am

Yesterday, June 25, to commemorate the day North Korean soldiers invaded their southern neighbor and began the Korean War, an anti-America rally was held in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. Approximately 100,000 citizens were present as the communist regime stated there would be a “fire shower of nuclear retaliation” for any attack led by the United States. A senior official stated before the crowd that North Korea’s “armed forces will deal an annihilating blow that is unpredictable and unavoidable, to any ‘sanctions’ or provocations by the U.S.”
This demonstration of …

Marriage Is More than Just Being in Love
22 Jun 2009 11:08 pm

With six states allowing homosexuals to marry, and New York’s Governor insistent on it being the seventh state to allow such unions, the definition and legality of marriage has come under more introspection than ever before. During the 1960s with the rise of modern radical feminism, marriage as an institution was discouraged by the left whose proponents claimed it enslaved women. Now an opposite and equally flawed philosophy has appeared in leftist agenda, that all who wish to enter into a legal matrimony should be entitled to do so regardless …

XBox and the Execution of U.S. Soldiers
18 Jun 2009 7:38 pm

There have been some video games which display such explicit violence or sexuality that they have been decried as being too inappropriate for anyone to play. But there has never been a video game produced that is more despicable than XBox 360′s “Rendition: Guantanamo,” in which the game is “won” by killing American soldiers.
The game is seen through the perspective of a detainee in Guantanamo. The premise of the video game’s story is that the facility was sold by the U.S. Government to an agency called Freedom Corp. …
