PRO-LIFE, Rather Than Anti-Abortion

Why the headline reads "Anti-Abortion Group Denounces Tiller Shooting" rather than "Pro-Life Group Denounces Tiller Shooting" is beyond me.

I submit that the decks have long been woefully stacked against ANY PRO-LIFE organization by the MSM who consistently labels them ANTI-ABORTION rather than the more accurate "PRO-LIFE." This, in much the same way that the transparently biased MSM only refers to PRO-ABORTION groups as PRO-CHOICE rather than the chillingly more appropriate PRO-ABORTION.

The pro-aborts would argue that they are for "CHOICE," however, that argument quickly disintegrates upon examination in that they offer virtually no support for women who have made the choice for LIFE - rather than the PRO-ABORTION groups favored singular choice of abortion as the best solution to unwanted pregnancy.

Furthermore, they ignore the inconventient truth that there is no "CHOICE" for the genetically unique male and female unborn children whose mothers seek abortion. To parapharase the slogan that has been frequently applied to suicide: abortion is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Lastly, and perhaps most grievous, is the failure of PRO-ABORTION groups to serve those women that have chosen abortion that subsequently have difficulty dealing with the reality that their children have been relegated to some hazardous medical waste dump. The well-documented book "Hidden Grief" by Theresa Burke Ph.D. is a thoughtful presentation of years of post-abortion counseling experiences and research and is a highly recommended read.

The murder of George Tiller, unapologetic, infamous late-term abortion practitioner, diminishes us all. It is of no small consequence that this event will surely contribute to a political "perfect storm" where PRO-ABORTS in league with the most PRO-ABORTION president that has ever been elected will elevate the situation to crisis status. It was announced only a short while ago that Attorney General Eric Holder has directed federal marshals to "offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation," according to a statement from the Department of Justice.

I think it is important that we remain acutely aware of the likely demonization of the entire PRO-LIFE movement in the aftermath of the Tiller murder. It is important to closely scrutinize BHO & CO reaction - it is sure to be very telling.

And voice your opinion loud and clear that killing is NEVER SANCTIONED by true pro-lifers. May God help the women exploited by Tiller, pray for his family during this difficult time and let George Tiller, M.D. rest in peace.

To Love, and LIFE - the LOVING CHOICE!

Fallen Heroes

I never had much desire to see any movie on Viet Nam because I grew up during the time when they would scroll a list the names of the fallen American soldiers on the nightly news, and there was so much unrest at home. The boy next door went off to Viet Nam and he - along with thousands of other soldiers and military were disrespected by too many Americans upon their return.

From all that I have read about the movie "Forgotten Heroes" I think that I may have found one of the very few movies about the Viet Nam war that will have some positive, healing value. For that, Jack Marino is my hero.

". . . movies should be a positive expression that there is hope, love, mercy, justice and charity. . . It is the filmmaker's responsibility to emphasize the positive qualities of humanity by showing the triumph of the individual over adversities." - Frank Capra 1960

PLEASE NOTE that the producers of "Forgotten Heroes" are donating 25% of all gross DVD sales to The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Fund.

Thank you, Jack Marino!

Jon & Kate Plus Eight, Minus Kate

Please spare us the drama of a family disintegrating before our eyes. There is no need to turn on a television to witness the heartbreak of a family in crisis. Sadly, we see it far too often in the lives of our friends and families.

The producers of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" are SHAMELESS! As much as I favor the much-beleaguered and seemingly saintly Jon over the "just plain mean" Kate, BOTH he AND his wife should be protecting their beautiful young children rather than exposing them to this circus. It is their MOST IMPORTANT ROLE. The recent evolution of the show reminds me of the the sad tales of exploitation experienced by the Dionne quintuplets in the 1930's.

Kate seems to have serious unresolved anger issues that must be addressed in private. To take editorial license with the words of Dylan Thomas, these parents SHOULD take their darling children and "Go Gentle into That Good Night." Retreat from the insatiably intrusive public eye and heal their relationships.

Short of that, perhaps the producers can rename the program to "Jon & Kate, Plus Eight, MINUS Kate" and simply edit Kate out of the show - Jon seems infinitely more capable than Kate to care for the kids.

Thank You

Thank you for buying me a virtual cup of coffee in supportof the growing conservative movement!

They have awakened a sleeping lion.

A Miracle for NEW YORK!

A US Airways flight with 148 passengers and 5 crew members crashed into the Hudson River this afternoon - some injuries but looks like all were saved.

God bless the pilot and crew, the NYC firefighters and emergency personnel, the NY Waterways ferry operators, commuters and everyone else that assisted with this amazing rescue effort.

One airline passenger was asked by a reporter how many minutes passed between the moment that the engine exploded and the plane crashed into the water.

He said he wasn't sure but it was exactly ten "Hail Marys".

The Santa Suit Melted

I was pleased to read that when his body was found the Santa suit he chose to wear during his evil killing spree was melted to his body.

Melted to his body. I'm sure it must have been painful.

At least, I hope it was. And I hope that the melting was pre-mortum rather than post-mortum. Even better, that he experienced the burning pain for minutes rather than seconds, and if it were for an hour or more??? I would be even happier. God forgive me, my lifelong mantra (to paraphrase the once respected Hippocratic oath) is to "think no harm": I take no joy in other's pain regardless of the circumstances. But in the case of Bruce Pardo???

Bruce Pardo is the man that dressed as Santa Claus and went - no doubt uninvited - to the Christmas party that his newly ex-wife was attending. Like an evil parody of a country western song that was hatched in hell, he had only weeks before lost thousands of dollars, his wife and his dog in a divorce settlement.

When an 8-year girl answered the door at the Christmas Eve party, he shot her in the face. Bruce Pardo then killed his ex-wife, her parents and six others during the Christmas Eve massacre he orchestrated before killing himself at his brother's home. I have not read much about the tragedy - only hearing the latest headlines - the reports are simply too horrific to comprehend.

Today it was reported that Bruce Pardo even intended to continue his maniacal killing spree by targetting his own mother because of her sympathy for his ex-wife.

An eternity burning in hell is far too lenient a sentence for this evil cowardly man.

Ya Know?

God bless, Caroline Kennedy.

I do admire her. As the daughter of President Kennedy she managed to survive and thrive to become the successful, mature woman she is today. This despite the relentless obsession of the press, thanks in great part to the wonderful job her mom did raising her and her brother. She made it through her teenage years unscathed, graduated college and went on to obtain a law degree. She married and raised three children, the youngest now a teenager. She has worked as a lawyer and is a successful author. She is devoted to her family's legacy and charity work.

With all due respect, however, none of those accomplishments - as laudable as they may be - offer any indication that she is in the least bit qualified to become the next Senator from my state. And it is unfathomable to me that she could have the spotty voting record that has been reported in the news. Voting is a privilege that I take very seriously and I could not imagine missing even a single opportunity to vote.

Lastly, (and it may be incredibly shallow of me) but I cringed when I saw news story after news story criticizing her speaking style when she finally relented to requests for an interview. Sadly, those opportunities failed miserably to highlight the fine mind she undoubtedly possesses. Instead, she appeared as incredibly inarticulate . [I was a teenager when my father's cousin brought to my attention the fact that I tended to fill my sentences with excessive "ya knows". I was mortified! But was cured immediately.]

"You know, I think, you know, we're sort of, uh, sharing some of this experience. And um, as I've said, he was a friend, a family member, and um so, and uh obviously, he's, you know, he's also had an impressive career in public office." - Caroline Kennedy

What a grievous misstep that Caroline and her handlers did not make it a priority that she participate in an intensive crash course in public speaking before agreeing to any interviews.

Oh, sweet Caroline, um, you are simply not ready for prime time . . . ya know?
