Michael Gerson summarizes, with elegant clarity, what is at stake in the stem cell debate. Atheists and part-time Christians on the left loudly proclaim that politics has been taken out of science. Of course, what’s been done is to insert their brand of politics into science. Which is just [...]

“best for their family”

Obama is trying out his wings as a new member of the black community in the District of Columbia. As reported, the Obamas graced an “historically black church” about three miles from the White House.
The WaPo article makes clear at least one thing: any time a president attends a public [...]
The man’s a Baptist, not a humanist
Posted in Baptists, Politics on December 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The mini-flap (a flapette?) over Rick Warren giving the invocation at St. Obama’s coronation is way past silly. Rick Warren is a Southern Baptist, and, as such, has a worldview that is anathema to Obama’s far-left backers. And yet The One has, cynically in my view, selected Warren.
As a Baptist, I’m [...]
Gifts

Every human being is a gift from God. Yes, I know: on so many of those gifts, we need to mark them “return to sender.” And promptly get them out of our lives. But those are human beings who have chosen evil. Not the innocent.
Among the [...]
”safe, legal and rare”

In with the new, out with the old. Slogans, that is. “Safe, legal and rare” was the Democrat approach to abortion, at least in public. Privately, the evidence strongly suggests that abortion is treated as no more than the removal of some unwanted facial hair.
The rabidly anti-life left that controls the [...]
l’chaim

L’chaim. To life; the common toast in Hebrew. Why? Because the Torah favors life; God favors life. And in no uncertain terms. Deuteronomy 30:19:
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that [...]

The unseemly business of Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter’s pregnancy has garnered both the expected, and unexpected responses. The mainstream media just loves it, smelling hypocrisy and blood in the water all at the same time.
Why, Palin is a social conservative. We thought they didn’t do things like have illegitimate children. The good news is that [...]
Faithful Catholic?
Posted in Abortion, Catholicism, Politics on August 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are Roman Catholics. Both a firmly in the pro-abortion corner, though they’ll call it “a woman’s right to choose.” Choose death, that is. Are they faithful Catholics?
As a lapsed Catholic but still Christian, my belief is that life begins at conception. [...]
the least of my brothers

The forum last Saturday at Camelback was useful for those of us who value life. Also for others, of course, but especially because it illustrated the chasm that separates John McCain and Barack Obama.
Specifics? When asked about when a baby acquires “human rights,” McCain, said, accurately in my view, “at conception.” Obama, responding the the [...]
Much more than one thousand words

This is what Barack Obama thinks of a human life. Punishment.
Think on this when you consider who to support. If you value human life, the choice is clear: not Obama.
