Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Pathetic is a very strong derogatory word, but I think it’s apt when looking at Kathleen Sebelius’ defense for the Obama administration’s recent mandate that all employers must purchase insurance that provides their employees with birth control, sterilization and morning-after pills. A fisking is in order (all hyperlinks in original
Continue readingI hadn’t looked closely at what Sebelius said when promulgating the new ObamaCare rules that require religious organizations to fund birth control, sterilization, and morning-after pills. Hugh Hewitt, however, did look — and caught something interesting: The press release that accompanied the new rule didn’t mention “Catholics” or “Catholic institutions,”
Continue readingNo, William Shirer and Hitler have not really addressed current political issues, because (of course) both are dead. And no, I’m most certainly not comparing Obama or anyone in his administration to Hitler. But yes, they both did in the past offer advice about direct government attacks on the Catholic
Continue readingWe are now at the point of open warfare between the Left and the traditional Judeo-Christian faiths in America. We all know that there’s long been a covert war, but it’s finally out in the open now. As I’ve pointed out on my blog, this week alone, the open war
Continue readingDuane Lester, whose main blogging home is All American Blogger, has come up with a brilliant idea. He’s set up a site that simply lists all the things that are “racist” in Barack Obama’s America. Here’s a snippet from Now Racist in the U.S.: Any Political Opposition to President Obama •
Continue readingCassie Jay is a young woman who makes unabashedly Leftist films. Back, in 2010, she made a documentary called “Daddy I Do” that attacked abstinence-only education. Even in liberal Marin, this movie caused a bit of a kerfuffle, as the local art cinema first agreed to show it, then backed
Continue readingHave you watched Downton Abbey yet? Or perhaps a better question is, have you even heard of Downton Abbey? I’ve been aware of it for a couple of years, because I read Britain’s Daily Mail. The show has been a monster hit there and, during the season, the Daily Mail
Continue readingJonathan Last has as good a summation as any I’ve seen of the now open warfare between Barack Obama and his erstwhile ally, the fairly liberal American Catholic Church. The article ends with an effort to understand why Obama would pick this battle, and why he would pick it now.
Continue readingFor almost a thousand years, Catholics around the world, as part of their mass, have taken responsibility before God for their own failings: Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem,

Continue readingI’ve finished reading the wonderful Brute: The Life of Victor Krulak, U.S. Marine, and am about to embark upon Give Me Tomorrow: The Korean War’s Greatest Untold Story–The Epic Stand of the Marines of George Company. One of the things that stands out in any book one reads about the

Continue readingGiven the current kerfuffle about Planned Parenthood, it seemed worthwhile to remind people that Planned Parenthood isn’t just about abortions. It’s also about advancing an agenda antithetical, not only to Christians, whom it attacks very directly, but to any parents who worry about their children’s safety and morality. Also, as
Continue readingI’m not usually a Peggy Noonan fan (I find her a bit vapid, the right’s Maureen Dowd), but I think this is one of her better columns.
Continue readingGenerally speaking, I am not a fan of the Disney Channel. Parents think the teen-oriented shows are innocuous, because they are free of references to sex and drugs. That’s true, but what they have in bushel-loads is attitude, bad attitude. Whether you’re watching Hannah Montana (mercifully out of production), the
