It seems to me that many on the right are so frightened by the thought of a second Clinton presidency that they are willing to back any candidate who has the potential to beat her in the general election. Don’t get me wrong, I am equally as terrified by this woman, but what frightens me more is the nomination of … Read More
Rooted in Abortion?
The killings of yesterday at Virginia Tech University, inevitably cause us to ask the question “why?”. Why, or how, is it so easy for one person to just open fire and senselessly murder 32 random people and then turn the gun on himself? Is it fair to say, as Mother May I points out, that these killings could be rooted … Read More
Destroying Love in Our Society
Wesley Smith has a post asking whether infanticide qualifies as murder and should be a crime.

Renewing the Promise of America
President Bush spoke at the 4th annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast this week and said the following: Renewing the promise of America begins with upholding the dignity of human life.

Caitlin herself opted to have an abortion after giving birth to two children because “I knew I would see my existing two daughters less, my husband less, my career would … Read More
We Must Win This Culture War
Check out this fabulous article about Sam Brownback in the Washington Post. It does an excellent job of describing who Sen. Brownback really is as a person. We could use more people like this in politics. The entire article is more than worth your time, but here is a little bit: During the 2004 Republican convention, Brownback told a closed-door … Read More
Senate Passes ESC Research Funding Bill
So we knew this was coming and now it has happened. Thankfully President Bush is remaining faithful to his position against further funding for this research and vows to veto the bill again: S.5 is very similar to legislation I vetoed last year.
