Commander And Chief Of The Race War
 Returning
from some badly needed vacation time we find that there's nothing
new under the cloud cast across America from Washington.
True unemployment still hovers around 18 - 20%, democrats are
demagoguing unemployment benefits, another stimulus package is in
the works, health insurance premiums continue to escalate, Iran is
running circles around America and the UN, and Barack Obama is
wielding his most reliable election year weapon- the race card.
Always careful to refrain from sticking his hands directly in the
muck, like a silent smiling buddha statue President Obama sits
benignly by as his slavish surrogates in the media do the dirty work
of smearing citizens opposed to his agenda as racists.
If only, the president reflects, he can just keep control of the
congress for two more years, all this racism nonsense won't be
necessary. By then he will have passed the necessary legislation and
appointed enough judges to deal with political opponents in the time
honored socialist manner. Declare them "enemies of the state". Read

 2010
remains a trying time for America. President Obama's socialist
steamroller continues, seemingly unabated, to transform the
landscape of our nation. Every day seems to dawn with news of
another White House "reform" designed to tighten government's
merciless grasp on our lives. It is a frustrating, frightening time
for millions of Americans.
We the people do what we can, voicing our opposition in town hall
meetings, Tea Party rallies and petition drives. We flood the White
House and Congress with letters, phone calls and e-mails. We mount
prayer campaigns from our pulpits and through the internet. Yet the
anti-everything except abortion ideology of the distant left seems
to prevail.
The insanity of the times can literally drive one to despair, so it
is important to just walk away from it all every once in a while and
trade our yolk for His. Read

Tea Party Kool Aid
 The
AZ republican primary on August 24 is of critical importance for
conservative hopes to take back the republican party. J D Hayworth
has mounted a serious campaign to unseat ultimate RINO Senator John
McCain-Kennedy. As sour as many of us are over the republican party,
only a republican party revitalized by new leadership, committed to
the true principles of Regan style conservatism, can halt the Obama
socialist steamroller.
The Tea Party has been a major factor in this revitalization. Tea
Party endorsed conservatives have steadily toppled RNC establishment
backed RINOs in this year's primaries. Concerns over the Tea Party
movement evolving into a third party, thereby splitting the
republican vote, have thus far proved groundless.
But a Tea Party activist is threatening to derail J D Hayworth's
effort in Arizona by splitting just enough of the conservative vote
to enable Mr Maverick to keep "reaching across the aisle" for
another six years. Read

The Purpose Of War
 It
is not wise to let be known you are critical of an incompetent and
insecure superior. Not if you value your position.
A president
possessing self assurance, comfortable in his role as role as
commander and chief, who understood the military and the military's
purpose, could have easily risen above the minor indiscretions of
General Stanley McChrystal and his aides.
Surely General McChrystal and his staff knew that Barack Obama is
not such a man. But while the media typically focuses on the reality
show aspects of General McChrystal and President Obama, an ugly war
of attrition, the longest war in our history, plods on in
Afghanistan.
A war that should have been won or abandoned long ago. The real
questions that need to be answered at this point are if anyone in
Washington still understands the purpose of war and what it takes to
win one. Read

Oil Spill Address To The Nation
 From
Fox News to OMSNBC, President Obama's oil spill address to the
nation was dismissed as a washout. The nation was looking to the
White House for answers on day 57 of America's greatest
environmental disaster. But the president provided no answers on how
the oil rig explosion occurred, why the spill hasn't been contained
or how long it is expected to continue.
There was only one perfunctory reference to the mounting crisis
itself. "Make no mistake, we will fight this spill with everything
we've got for as long it takes". The rest of the address seemed to
ramble along with the emptiest of rhetoric.
But those who didn't hear anything of substance from the president
weren't listening closely. President Obama clearly announced his intention to manipulate
the gulf oil spill in order to continue remaking America in his own
image. Read

Confronting Iran
 "When
are you people gonna stop messing around with this guy? He's gotta
be stopped now" -Dirty Harry
Today Iran launched a convoy of ships to confront the Israeli
armaments blockade of Gaza. More ships will sail on Friday. Like the
Turkish ships intercepted by Israeli Defense Forces on May 31, the
Iranian convoy intends to provoke a military response from Israel.
The Turkish "peace flotilla", however, simply hoped to increase
international pressure on Israel to end the blockade. The Iranians
may be hoping to provoke WWIII.
And whether it comes about as the result of a naval confrontation
outside the ports of Gaza, or with an Iranian
nuclear attack on Israel, Iran will bring warfare to the world if
our president doesn't stop messing around with Iran’s president,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Read

Abortion Incorporated Honors "Social
Justice Sisters"
 Planned
Parenthood recently honored abortion heroine Nancy Pelosi for her
success in passing legislation that will dramatically expand
abortion on demand in America, and provide federal funding of
abortions, under the guise of "healthcare reform".
Apparently inspired by the fact that in creating this incredible
windfall for the abortion industry Speaker Pelosi lied to every
citizen in America, from members of her own party to the bishops of
her church, Planned Parenthood created a brand new award for
"practicing Catholic" Pelosi, the Champion of Women's Health Award.
"She's walked across hot coals for us" beamed PP President Cecile
Richards.
But Planned Parenthood has done a great disservice in not also
recognizing the duplicitous efforts of a group of dedicated
progressive Catholics who were instrumental in bringing home that
wonderful windfall - the Social Justice Sisters.
Last night, Abortion Incorporated rectified this ungrateful lack of
recognition. Read

 Eighteen
months into the most rabid pro-abortion administration in the dark
history of Roe v Wade, the pro-life community has achieved
what should have been unthinkable. For the first time since 1973,
the majority of Americans stand for the right to life.
Undeterred, the proponents of the culture of death continue to bring
the full force of the federal government, now at their disposal, to
bear on those committed to overturning Roe.
So despite the efforts of millions of Americans, we are now
witnessing a massive expansion of abortion services in our country,
and tax payers are being forced to fund abortions, under despicable
guise of "healthcare reform".
At some point the selfless giving in pro-life rallies, marches,
seminars, webcasts, blogs, etc drains the last ounce of one's
ability to pursue the good fight. It doesn't mean we are beaten. Far
from it. We just need to step back for a while, let it all go and
trade our yolk for His. Read

Euthanasia By Attrition
Maybe you're
better off not having the surgery, but taking the pain killer."
- President Barack Obama
 Barely
three months after being bribed and threatened through congress,
Obamacare is being exposed for the big lie it had always been.
Health insurance premiums continue to increase, employer based plans
are being discontinued, Obamacare taxes on business burden an
already crippled economy, and not one uninsured American will be
covered until 2014.
Socialized medicine has failed miserably in every country in which
it has been implemented. And rationing of treatment, beginning with
the elderly, is by economic necessity part and parcel of every
government healthcare program in existence.
So it begins in America with Obamacare's well publicized $500
billion of Medicare cuts which will, in effect, lower the cost of
Medicare simply by reducing the number of doctors willing or able to
treat the elderly. Read

Abortion Is Not A Political Issue
 Our
series of articles on
Bringing Christians Home On Abortion is
directed toward this year's crucial elections. Had just 10% of the
Christians who voted for Barack Obama voted their Christian faith on
abortion, America would be a different country today. Definitely
something to think about.
Abortion has been sold to America as just about everything except what
it really is. The taking of an innocent child's life. And the most successful
ruse perpetrated by radical feminists and the abortion industry has
been to frame abortion as a "political issue". Read

The Cost Of A Presidential Pen
Sister Carol
Keehan
Catholic Health Association
RE: The Cost Of Your Presidential Pen
Dear Sister Keehan
 The
fact that President Obama awarded you a Presidential Pen in
recognition of your support for "healthcare reform", would seem to
indicate that your public contradiction of the US Conference Of
Catholic Bishops on the abortion language in the bill played an
important part in making Obamacare the law of our land.
The USCCB recently issued a statement which pointed out that your
open break with the bishops “lacked an understanding of these
particular issues" and "resulted in confusion and a wound to
Catholic unity".
Now, as the many evils nested in those thousands of pages of
healthcare legislation are beginning to leak out, it may be an
appropriate time for you, Sister Keehan, to reflect upon what your
actions have wrought for the American people. Read

Prayers To End Abortion
 This
summer Father Frank Pavone of
Priests For Life and Dr
Alveda King will launch a series of
Pro-Life Freedom Rides.
Active participation in events like the Pro-Life Freedom Rides, the
semi-annual 40 Days For Life Campaigns and the annual March For Life
in Washington is of tremendous importance in raising awareness of
the plight of the hundreds of thousands of unborn children lost to
the vacuums, surgical instruments and poisons of America's abortion
mills each year. Americans are drawn into the pro-life community and
money is raised to fund pro-life organizations.
But there are only a few such events each year, and most of us are
unable to actively participate. We all, however, have access the
most powerful weapon available in our struggle to overcome abortion.

America
has been God's gift of freedom to the world because our
government was founded upon Judeo-Christian principals and the freedom
of religious expression. Living those founding principles, the
American people built a nation that became the economic envy of
the world and the greatest liberator of oppressed people in history.
