Here’s an open thread to say what you want. Gosnell is guilty of 1st degree murder of 3 babies; he was originally hit with charges against 7 babies, but 3 of the charges were dropped and apparently he was acquitted on the remaining. But he is guilty of 1st degree murder. He was also found guilty of manslaughter on the woman he killed while doing | Read More »
Via Gabe Malor, a bipartisan group of Senators are initiating a discussion about revising the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. I think it’s long overdue, especially since it has had problems from the get go. First off, it wasn’t strong enough; it wasn’t a declaration of war. President George W. Bush wanted America | Read More »
Via Glenn Reynolds’ post “ONE UPSIDE OF GAY MARRIAGE: Messy celebrity gay divorces!“, two “married” Hollywood gay guys are getting a “divorce” citing irreconcilable differences (the HuffPo reporter refers to the relationship this way based on a piece in People magazine, while others say the two were in a civil union; see how goofy this whole thing is?). I’ve never heard of either David Tutera, | Read More »
Prior to Roe v. Wade, back-alley abortions were illegal. Thanks to the trial of the individual who is the personification of Roe, we now know they are legal. Kermit Gosnell was originally charged with eight counts of murder: one of a woman who died as a result of his “work”; seven of babies he murdered as a result of deliberately inducing labor in order to | Read More »
It should be have been no surprise to anyone, especially in the UK, that a woman would be a great leader of a nation. Margaret Thatcher, who died today at the age of 87, was not only the first female British Prime Minister, but probably the best they’ve had since Churchill. Her toughness not only brought the UK out of some dark times economically, but | Read More »
This is Part II of a two-part series on marriage in the United States and the legal ramifications of same-sex “marriage” in this country. Part I dealt with marriage and the law up to the end of the 20th Century. Part II here will focus on events in the present century. Marriage in the United States has always been a civil matter. The states, in | Read More »
Same-sex “marriage” is a big topic these days and for good reason: there is a good chance the Supreme Court will affirm lower federal court rulings to throw out California’s Proposition 8, an amendment to the state Constitution approved by California voters to define marriage as a relationship consisting of one man and one woman; the Court is also looking at suits questioning 1996′s federal | Read More »
I recently got into a lively discussion regarding same-sex “marriage” and during its course, I mentioned how a Methodist church was being sued for not renting a facility it owns to a couple who wanted to use it for a same-sex civil union in New Jersey (same-sex “marriage” is not legal in NJ, yet; Dana Loesch mentioned the suit here; more information is here and | Read More »
Today, hundreds of millions of Christians will be celebrating Easter, the reason for the religion of Christianity, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the “son” of the Trinity that makes up our Lord God (not all Christian faiths will celebrate Easter today; the Orthodox Church will do so in the beginning of May). In this country, where not only religious faith is failing, but also religious | Read More »
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel should resign immediately for the sake of honor, because there is a sick story going on with the Department he is running. Hagel was brought into the position for two reasons: he used to be a Republican Senator, and he is a Vietnam veteran. Other than that, and based on the testimony he gave to Congress that showed him to be | Read More »
So,…do we give them a cookie now for actually doing their jobs or something? Here is the Democrat propaganda from The Hill: The Senate early Saturday passed its first budget in four years by a vote of 50 to 49. The close vote was a big victory for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.),… How is this a | Read More »
There is no other way to put it. Along with Scott v. Sandford (Dred Scott), Roe v. Wade ranks as one of the most inhuman Supreme Court decisions ever. Not only has it resulted in averaging more than a million dead babies a year, Roe created Kermit Gosnell. Roe has also been a hallmark of Barack Obama as he as supported it so strongly, he | Read More »
As today is President’s Day, it is good to remember the nation’s heritage. Unlike our Presidents, English monarchs, especially the males, know fairly early on in their lives what they will become. But as it happens, some came to the throne before they were considered adults. While you may wonder what this has to do with today’s politics in the U.S., I want you to | Read More »
On August 8, 1942, six men, including a naturalized American citizen, were executed by electrocution after having been found guilty in a military tribunal of spying and sabotage for the Nazis during World War II (the other two involved had their death sentences commuted for turning in the others). This was following the Supreme Court’s Ex Parte Quirin decision being released to the FDR administration | Read More »
No matter who won the Republican nomination for President last year, that person was going to have a tough time of it since, as it turns out, there were enough people in America who were stupid enough to vote for Barack Obama or not vote for Mitt Romney (they voted for someone else or didn’t vote). While I hemmed and hawed through much of the | Read More »
Today is the sad 40th anniversary of the travesty of Roe v. Wade. For those of you who may not remember, Kermit Gosnell is the monster (forget all that alleged crap) who: murdered eight babies because he couldn’t abort them (he induced labor, then stabbed them to death with scissors); murdered at least one woman after aborting her baby; may have murdered other women aborting | Read More »
In response to the massacre in Newtown, CT, the government of New York state just passed a new law that among other things bans ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds for semiautomatic rifles and more than 7 rounds for semiautomatic pistols (I believe that is what New York’s SAFE Act does; any lawyers, please confirm). It was introduced on January 14, passed | Read More »
The massacre of children in Newtown, CT has led a variety of people to say a variety of things. Naturally, the federal government has said something has to be done. It’s quite understandable; this was a horrific crime. But if you think about, I mean really think about it, what more can the federal government actually do? There’s talk about reinstituting the expired federal assault | Read More »
DrewM. is on a roll at AoSHQ is on a roll today. He has a post on Obama’s presser today that has me roaring mad. I’m still wondering why Boehner even bothered to work with the pathetic puke occupying the White House. Obama manages to be even more disgusting than he was during the last campaign. As Drew mentions, “He tied his tax proposals to | Read More »
Mitt Romney ended up getting more votes in the 2012 election than John McCain did in the 2008 election. But despite the fact that Barack Obama had 4,000,000 fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008, he won because he managed to convince enough stupid people in key states to not vote for Romney. It didn’t matter that Romney had Paul Ryan, one of the smartest | Read More »
