President Bush is now officially a lame duck President. Normally, that means the President just lays low, avoids screw-ups, and starts writing a memoir. In Bush’s case, it looks like he’s still trying to do his job….

They don’t care what happens to those children, those families, or to a business- even if that business helps people- if those children, families, or businesses aren’t online with their way of thinking and cower to their demand for total, unquestioned approval of their behavior.
Look at how they have infiltrated our public schools to press their way of thinking into young, innocent children’s minds.

There is such a thing as evil.
And there truly is evil in these people’s hearts.
I do not say that lightly.

As noted by Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com, President Bush may be forcing the Obama administration to be more explicit in it’s support of abortion. Basically, President Bush’s rule change would “prohibit recipients of federal money from discriminating a…

I am tired of being told I am intolerant because somebody has a legal right to choose but I have none.

Don’t want an abortion? Don’t have one. That is choice.

The Jewish position on abortion:

It is just a little short of the secular position. “The government should stay out of it” is the Jewish political position.

The Repubs played this to lose, not win. They did not fight fire with fire…

The only way to beat the MSM is go past them, straight to the people…

We failed…

That and the fact that 57% of the populaqtion did not know that the Democrats had been running Congress for the last two years.

WTF was going on with anyone who was using money to advertise for Republicans.

A good sound advertising campaign would have helped mitigate the natural desire of the voter to blame Republicans for a bad ecomomic climate.

The Muslim pharmacist would have the full force of the Federal GOvernment behind them whereas the Christian pharmacist whould likely be investigated by the Justice Department.

It comes down to the fact that we are losing the moral fight of our lives. The hearts and minds of a whole generation have been moved on purpose, to get us to this point. And they are not done yet.

Look at the Zogby poll folks, Conservatives did NOT lose the election, MORONS and LIES won the election.

Yes, these two are very important factors in the loss of the election, and they are often ignored. They are to me also the most disturbing factors because I don’t see anything in motion to change this. For this reason, even of we get great candidates, I don’t have a lot of hope that the following will happen:

Let the Hospitals close, let folks ACTUALY SEE the damage that being an uninformed voter can do… CONSERVATIVES WILL SWEEP INTO OFFICE IN MID-TERMS 2010!!!

Until these trends towards declining values, and diminishing capability in the population to use their brains is reversed, we are in trouble.

Sometimes we feel like we have to bring another person to repentance. Certainly that’s the tough love concept, and people who are hardened or defiant need that.

But what really brings people to repentance is kindness – seeing the One we’ve hurt and knowing His deep, deep love for us. Sometimes life seems like one big punch in the gut after another. But what really knocks a person over is grace – undeserved kindness. The most powerful force in the world, and the only power to really change a person from the inside out. Many of the strongest pro-life people are those who have been through the pain of abortion, received forgiveness, and see it as it really is – and want to protect anyone else from having to suffer the same thing.

Remember that Christ didn’t die for us when we were righteous, but when we were sinners spitting in His face. He might have thought He was spoiling us by giving us undeserved kindness. But His only other choice was to let us rot.

That’s all I hold onto, to be truthful. I’m so thankful that He told us ahead of time that all this would happen, that we would see evil seem to triumph. It seemed like evil triumphed on Good Friday but it didn’t. It was actually defeated on Good Friday, though nobody but God Himself knew it until Sunday. It’s Saturday that’s the hard place to live, and that’s where we’re at right now.

Maybe the only thing we can do living in the perpetual Saturday is exactly what the disciples did that day: huddle together and wait. I’ve snuggled my kids a lot more since the election, I know that. I don’t know what they might have to see before they get to go Home.

It bothers me to see those who were pulling together for McCain at each other’s throats now. I know that’s a normal art of grieving. We lost two children and I understand that about 80% of couples don’t survive the death of a child. Men and women just grieve so differently.

I think a lot of us today are grieving, complete with denial, anger, guilt, isolation – all that goes along with grieving. But more than anything I think we need to hold each other close because all we’ve got in an earthly sense is each other.

As things get worse in America in the near future, others will be realizing what’s happened. They will begin to grieve also and they’re going to need us too.

We just disagree.

If this makes it harder for Obama to pass the FOCA, and he has to fight for it, and choses to do so, it will show all those “pro-life” Catholic Obama supporters just how much they deluded themselves. I wonder how many will then be moved to avail themselves of the needed sacrament of Penance.

You’re right here, Steve.

Obama is a radical by heart but an incrementalist by political tactic. Check out his work in the State Senate. All the funding he ever got started out small and noncontroversial, always harmless looking enough to get Republicans on board…

But Obama knows that once government programs are established, not only can’t you eliminate them, neglecting to fund them at the same percentage increase per year attracts negative attention so often these things just won’t die.

He’ll take the same approach to baby killing. Too incremental for anyone to take a stand, or perhaps even notice…

unless it’s codified and it’s too late.

Me too. I don’t have any kids yet, and I really would like to, but between the prospect of giving birth in a government run hospital and sending them into indoctrination centers as opposed to schools…

I don’t know if I want to try.

I applaud the nurse for taking her moral stand. This was a right I was taught as a student in nursing in the 1950s in a protestant hospital school. I am tired of giving up my moral right because the government says someone else has a right that trumps mine. I am tired of being told I am intolerant because somebody has a legal right to choose but I have none. If the woman who aborted got into a life threatening situation I would intervene and give the needed emergency care, but I would (and did)refuse to take part in pre abortion, abortion and routine post abortion care. I became a nurse because I have reverance for life. Do not take my moral rights from me and demean me for what I believe if you expect respect in return. If you need a nurse someday, you may get the kind you admire-one without any moral clarity and who does not care that much about life. You might truly be better off with a nurse who takes life as something to protect.

If life means nothing, if truth means nothing, and all the foundations of freedom are gone, what do you have left?

You still have God, and his son. This is what sustains me when my country is all loaded into a handbasket.
