Amount of Taxpayers' Money Going To Abortion

2010-06-16T21:16:00.005-04:00

FRC.org reports:This morning, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) answered that question for the first time in a number of years with a staggering report on U.S. funding for abortion advocates . In just eight years, more than a billion of your hard-earned dollars have been funneled to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Population Council

BWAAHAHA! Lol...Dude, seriously.Many gays and lesbians are decent folk who don't resort to this kind of tomfoolery.But, just like the Christians have to deal with Fred Phelps (who, arguably, is a wolf in sheep's clothing, not a true member of the flock), so these guys need to be dealt with

There's a Cost

2008-11-13T10:18:00.003-05:00

The Mormon church, after a firestorm of protests at its gate, face a boycott.Restaraunts and businesses face financial repercussions.Some have lost their jobs. There is even an 'anti-gay 'blacklist'' floating around out there.Death threats? Yep.Some of my friends now have strained relationships due to their support of Proposition 8.Should we now play the victim and develop a martyr complex? No

Sinaiticus Goes Cyber

Comment on the election

2008-11-07T19:53:00.000-05:00

Mark Alexander of PatriotPost.us offers this summary of the election made by a fellow conservative he knows:"It's been tough, fellow Patriots; tough to stomach the idea that more than half of my fellow citizens who vote, have booted a genuine American hero to the curb for a rudderless charlatan. What a sad indictment on our citizenry that some are so eager to overlook his myriad flaws -- his

I was listening to the Albert Mohler program on the radio today (he's president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). He made a point that really made me think.He mentioned that according to recent calculations, China, perhaps, has the largest number of Christians in the world. Numbers on the low end are at 70 million, while numbers at the high end tally 130 million.Even if you take

Congratulations, Mr. President-Elect

2008-11-05T01:38:00.003-05:00

Congratulations to president-elect Barack Obama.Though I have opposed him vigorously, and will continue to do so when I think he is leading this country down the wrong road, I respect him as my country's future leader. I hope the best for him, and will be praying often for his safety and leadership. My prayer will also be that he is given wisdom and courage in our current, somewhat turbulent

Vote!

2008-11-04T17:02:00.003-05:00

Well, election day is here. No matter what happens, we can at least be relieved that the political ads and phone calls are over, right?Seriously, though, I hope you all have or will get out and vote. Don't be discouraged by polls that count out one candidate or try to make you think your vote won't matter.When you're watching the returns tonight on TV, keep in mind that most of the news

Reflections

2008-11-04T11:09:00.000-05:00

Over the last few months (especially the last 2 weeks), I've done a lot of thinking about the current political scene. There are a loooot of complex, confusing issues out there. The economic crisis, for example, is one of them. All three popular answers that have been given (dems--deregulation. Repubs--government control mandating foolish loaning stretegies. Both--greed) strike me as true *

A 5 minute internet check turned into a 2 hour blogfest. GAH! Addictive personality.The gloves come off in this post. I get harsh. I think I need to.A lot of the information is concurrent with Robert

This will probably get lost in the election news, but there is great progress to report from Iraq:October is on track to be the first month in which no U.S. troops have died in combat in Baghdad...The news comes in a week in which the troops have already made headlines. Their latest milestone? Two days ago, the U.S. military had handed over control of yet another province to the people of Iraq.

Why I'm Voting Yes on Proposition 8

2008-10-29T10:10:00.001-04:00

I realize that the post on Prop 8 might leave some of you wondering: so, Rich, why are you for Prop 8?(For all you non-Californians, earlier this year the Sup. Court of CA overturned an earlier vote of the people to define marriage between a man and a woman. Prop 8 seeks to overturn the court's ruling and set the traditional definition in law.)Briefly:The primary reason is that modern Western

California Teachers Say "no" on 8?

2008-10-28T09:22:00.005-04:00

Evidently, since I'm a teacher, this ad says I'm against Proposition 8:Well, no one consulted me! No one consulted countless other CA teachers too.Here is a letter to the editor that I wrote in to the LA Times and OC Register on the "no on Proposition 8" campaign:As a high school teacher, I don't appreciate that the "No on 8" campaign uses my name to advance their cause.

Folks, read this.Well linked, well reasoned, lots of information (much of it from Obama's own mouth).I had absolutely no idea. Up until a few days ago, I was mainly focusing on his views on abortion. I didn't have many details about the other issues. Then I ran into the "Obama file."HT: Michelle Malkin

Read here and here for some telling information on William Ayers and Obama's connections with him.Even if Obama wasn't giving half-baked explanations (i.e, "I was eight years old when Ayers committed crimes," and "he's just a guy from the neighborhood"), could you be confident of a guy with those types of associations?I'm fairly confident that if McCain had even a cursory association with someone

Over the past two years, we have witnessed the glowing coverage of Obama by the Main Stream Media (MSM). But at what cost? Have we really been told all that we need to know about this man?As these video and audio clips reveal, the answer is clearly no.

2008-10-13T20:25:00.000-04:00

These findings are the result of a recent study by the Culture and Media Institute.

Voter Fraud: Impinging on Your Rights

2008-10-11T16:10:00.003-04:00

I am reading a LOT these days about voter fraud in the upcoming presidential election. And in most cases, the liberal organization ACORN seems to be at the center. Hot Air has a great roundup, with lots of links:Investors Business Daily asks what Barack Obama knows about the epidemic of voter fraud in ACORN, and it’s not an unfair question. Not only has Obama publicly endorsed ACORN, he has paid

Would you accept 4 cents on the dollar?

If so, you might think it makes sense to fight global warming instead of adapting to it. The cost-benefit ratio of policies to fight global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions is, indeed, roughly 25 to 1. Bjørn Lomborg emphasized this in a September 30 article in Times Online (the online version of the Times of London).Lomborg and other economists estimate that every dollar spent to

Youtube continues censorship

2008-10-08T19:40:00.008-04:00

Youtube continues to remove content that jeopardizes the Obama campaign. The latest involves footage that describes the hypocrisy of Obama’s words at the recent Saddleback Civil forum where he criticized our nation's leaders for not following Jesus’ imperative to consider “the least of these” (Matt. 25:40). He boldly declares this all the while neglecting the needs of his very own half-brother

Reagan: Still the Great Communicator

2008-10-06T19:16:00.003-04:00

Last week I happened to read some excerpts from a speech Ronald Reagan gave in 1964. It's a classic, called "A Time for Choosing" or sometimes "A Rendezvous with Destiny." He made the speech while on the campaign trail for Barry Goldwater (he actually gave it a more than once, in slightly different versions). I was amazed at how many of the things he said still ring true in this election. Here's

The Right Gets it Wrong, and the Left Doesn't Get it

2008-10-04T17:21:00.003-04:00

By Rich Bordner(The title of this post borrows a book title from left-leaning author Jim Wallis. I don't buy the guy's views really, but the title fits this blog, so I'm stealing it.)Ever since McCain picked Palin as his running mate, I've been getting more into politics. It is interesting stuff.One thing I've noticed is that, though the left is crossing the ethical line in campaigning more

Yesterday the House voted down the $700 billion bailout bill. The stock market tanked (although it's gained back about half of what it lost as of 1.30 pm today). No one really knows what will happen next.I'm not an economist and I don't really know what to think about all of this. On the one hand, I'm horrified by the idea of handing out taxpayer money to banks and individuals who made bad

Look at Mexico's response!!!Geeeez....I just talked with a colleague at my school yesterday that claimed the U.S

As I've mentioned on this blog before, my dad is fond of saying, "Figures don't lie, but liars can figure." He's pointing out that it is often possible to twist numbers so they seem to support your point of view. You shouldn't just accept statistics as valid just because they sound official and scientific.Here's a really good example: the current presidential polls. This is a really good post

Loving through Adoption

2008-09-24T18:49:00.000-04:00

If there was a ship lost at sea full of orphan babies, the world would rally together to save them. Yet, today, there are a million children around the world who live without the love of a permanent family. These children seem to have no hope, lost in a world that does not want them. But God loves them. And God has filled the hearts of couples stretching all over this country with His love for
