Planned Parenthood Keeping Women in the Dark

Planned Parenthood is the most dangerous organization in America today!

In 1984, I was taken aback by those words. They were uttered by Dr. Bernard Nathanson as I was interviewing him for a documentary on abortion called “A Matter of Choice.” Nathanson once ran the largest abortion facility in the state of New York. After the development of realtime ultrasound imaging, which opened a window to the womb, he became an ardent defender of the preborn.

When Dr. Nathanson, first made that statement, I thought he was some kind of nut! What possibly could be wrong with helping married women plan their families? Continue reading “Planned Parenthood Keeping Women in the Dark” →

Jesus: Son of God, or Great Teacher?

This day is called “Maundy Thursday” or “Holy Thursday.” Christians observe it as the day that Jesus served the Last Supper to his disciples and washed their feet before He was betrayed and crucified. Maundy is taken from the Latin “mandatum,” the first word of the phrase “Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos.” (A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you.) That statement was to explain why He performed a duty that normally was given to the lowest of servants.Some 2,000 years after his death, Jesus remains one of the most controversial figures who has ever walked the face of the Earth.

Intimidation or Informed Consent?

A young woman is driven to an outpatient surgery center by an older man. She looks frail and distraught. As the two approach the reception desk, her companion takes control of the situation. “Miss Jones is here for a tubal ligation,” he says.The receptionist asks, “Do you have insurance?” He answers for her, “No, we’ll pay cash.”

“That will be $1,700. Here is the form to sign, ” said the receptionist. She slides the paper toward the woman. The young woman sighs as she nervously signs her name. He quickly writes a check.

Then the woman is ushered into a back room and given a gown. There is no explanation of what the procedure entails. Two hours later, she appears in a wheelchair, groggy from the procedure and is helped into his waiting car.

The sterilization center made a quick $1,700 sale. Her lover is now free to enjoy unprotected sex with her without the complication of pregnancy until he moves on to someone else. However, her life has been irrevocably altered. Continue reading “Intimidation or Informed Consent?” →

Why the term “Secular Progressive” is all Wrong

Have you wondered what happened to old-fashioned liberalism? It went the way of VCRs and land lines. Today’s liberals are hiding in plain sight but they no longer refer to themselves as “liberal.” They refer to themselves as “progressive.”Let’s be clear about one thing: There is nothing “progressive” about liberalism, which is another word for socialism or communism. Continue reading “Why the term “Secular Progressive” is all Wrong” →

How Does this Congress plan to win the War on Terror?

How does this Congress plan to win the war on terror?  Pork – pure unadulterated pork!

  • Does it plan to force-feed the terrorists large amounts of this fat-laden meat and wait a couple of decades for it to clog up their arteries?
  • Does it plan to disguise the pork (which is detestable by Muslims), offer it to the terrorists and then yell, “Surprise”? (The devout ones then would commit suicide, saving us the trouble of hunting them down.)
  • Does it plan to toss hogs out of airplanes as animal bombs? Continue reading “How Does this Congress plan to win the War on Terror?” →

    • Confessions of a former Girl Scout

    I used to hate this time of year. My stomach was in knots as I encountered eager young girls dressed in smart green or brown uniforms selling Girl Scout cookies.There was a time when I simply bought a box from every young girl I encountered. It didn’t matter how many boxes I already had at home. I simply bought more. I thought of it as a way to pay back the people who bought them from me in my youth. Also, I was giving other young girls a chance to enjoy the scouting experience.

    Enough!

    As much as it hurts me to turn down a cute little girl, wide-eyed with the anticipation of her next sale, I simply can’t do it anymore!

    It’s not that I don’t want to support scouting. It’s just that I cannot continue to support what the Girl Scouts have become: a tool of the radical feminist movement, anti-God, pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality. Continue reading “Confessions of a former Girl Scout” →

    The “Anna Nicole Resolution”

    The nation’s senators have spent weeks debating a resolution to condemn President Bush’s plan to send more troops to Iraq. Lawmakers in the House of Representatives now are spending a week on the same useless activity. This could best be described as the “Anna Nicole Resolution.” It is a sexy piece of legislation that has no real meaning, like the life of the infamous gold-digger centerfold, who died last week an untimely death.What a spectacle! What a waste of airtime and newsprint!Congressional resolutions have no force of law. Most resolutions are for things like expressing condolences or to praise the work of an organization or civic leader. These things are rarely mentioned by the news media and are completed in a perfunctory fashion. It’s a pleasant little diversion for our lawmakers that takes up little time and does no harm.

    This is not the case with the Iraq resolution, which empowers our enemies, undermines our military leaders and destroys the morale of the men and women we have sent into harm’s way. Continue reading “The “Anna Nicole Resolution”” →

    Obama: Just another pretty (liberal) Face

    The meteoric political rise of Barack Obama is something rarely seen in American politics. In 2000, he was soundly defeated in his first and only bid for a spot in the U.S. House of Representatives. Four years later, he was propelled into the Senate and, after serving one-third of his term, is a presidential front-runner with the wind at his back.Most Americans choose their president the way a 7-year-old chooses her Barbie doll. If you simply want a president who is handsome, charismatic and articulate, then Obama is your candidate. Continue reading “Obama: Just another pretty (liberal) Face” →

    What Everyone Should Know about Iraq

    “Phased withdrawal” and “troop caps” are euphemisms for “retreat and defeat” in Iraq. In recent years, U.S. withdrawals have become an all too familiar pattern for the United States: Vietnam, Beirut and Somalia. This behavior has empowered the radical forces seeking to destroy us.Iraq is the most deadly battlefield on which the war on terror is being fought. On one side are the extremists sponsored by Iran and Syria. On the other side are the moderates and those favoring democracy in the fledgling government backed up by United States troops. In the middle are an under-trained military and millions of innocent civilians. Continue reading “What Everyone Should Know about Iraq” →

    Run, Tom, Run!

    He once received a call from Bush political strategist Karl Rove instructing him “never again to darken the doorstep of the White House.” Now, he is laying the groundwork to live there.Tom Tancredo is not a household word. He doesn’t have movie star good looks or a big, fat checkbook; nor has he spent the bulk of his free time as a congressman attending fund-raisers for other GOP candidates so that he can call in his chits – little IOUs for political endorsements.

    It’s not the “normal” road one travels to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Continue reading “Run, Tom, Run!” →
