A Kansas jury found the murderer of Dr. George Tiller, who murdered him in a Lutheran Church, guilty on all counts. The defendant had attempted to argue that he was justified in walking into a Lutheran Church and putting a gun to the Doctor’s head before church, in order to save the lives of unborn children. During the trial, the defendant offered a near sociopathic account of the murder. Dr. [...]
CBS is going to run an ad from the right wing “Christian” group, Focus on the Family, headed by James Dobson — during the Superbowl. What the heck is going on here? Why the heck are you letting a political advertisement from the right wing, so-called “Christian” (which isn’t really) group play during the Superbowl? Don ‘t we get enough of that garbage the rest of the year? C’mon — [...]
The latest favorite white male in the GOP party is Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia. Running as a “populist” McDonnell slaughtered his Democratic opponent. This whole populist image in the Republican party is really interesting. So what does it mean? it’s the same theme that Scott Brown ran on in Massachusetts. What is a “populist” really? Well, theoretically is is a political philosophy urging social and political system change that [...]
Although the Mormon Church considers its finances the secret of all secrets, it has been estimated that the church is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $35 to $50 billion. About $10 billion is invested in Wall Street, while the rest goes for welfare, building growth and maintenance and “educational activities.” It would seem that one of those “educational activities” is their ongoing effort to stop gay people from having [...]
If you are looking to adopt a dog, we found Bichon and Buddies to be an amazing adoption organization. Kind, caring and great with follow-up should you have any problems. Give them a try. We did and we loved them.
See the video. Need we say more about this evil man?

This bill allows [...]
I just spent a week in North Carolina visiting my 96 year old father. Dad is in rehab because in the two weeks that he had pneumonia, he forgot how to walk and eat by himself. And in order to go to back to his retirement home, he has to be able to do those things. So I spent a week with him — helping him learn to eat and [...]
I went to visit my 96 year old dad — Leon Heywood Mimms (named after Ponce de Leon) last week in North Carolina. This is his picture — alongside is my cousin Ellie from Charleston South Carolina who came to visit. My dad was in rehab. He was re-learning how to feed himself and walk again. I kept telling him that water was the oil for his brain engine. He’s [...]
Bishop Tobin, the bishop who refused to give communion to Patrick Kennedy last weekend, today stated that the Roman Catholic Church should come first; before ones allegiance to ones country and constituents. Patrick Kennedy, who has voted pro-choice — has been the object of attack by the Bishop. His punishment for not voting on civil law in the way the Catholic church believes he should — denial of Holy Communion. [...]
Pope Pius XII, Pope during WWII was a player. No one knows for sure if he was anti-semitic or not — but what we do know is that he didn’t exactly have strong moral character. Pope Pius XII was asked to condemn Nazi atrocities against Jews, of which he was fully aware. He refused. Pope Pius XII was asked to condemn “Jewish Statues” — he said that while the church [...]
9 of the Roman Catholic Archbishops in the United States have signed a declaration today which states they will not obey laws that they believe might be used to compel their institutions (mostly their “Christian Charities” arm which receives Federal money) and hospitals which receive Medicare) to participate in abortions, or to bless or in any way recognize same-sex couples. If they were to be successful it would mean that [...]
Pat Robertson (the 1980′s version of Sarah Palin), denounced Islam as a violent political system intent upon taking over the world. Now now one would really care what this nut job says, because he has said so many weird comments over his religious/political career — that no one should really pay attention. But the fact that Virginia’s new Governor was mentored by Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson gave the new Governor [...]
It doesn’t surprise me to find Catholic Charities in Boston to be so bigoted. Here’s what I know about the group called “Catholic Charities.” Back in the 1980′s, I worked for a national hispanic organization in Los Angeles. We have a nationwide federal grant to help older americans get retrained as workers, called The Senior Community Service Program (SCSEP). Our job was to partner with locaL organizations to find older [...]
“I look at the potential of this place; it’s a great piece of real estate,” says Wafi Amin, an official with the Afghan Finance Ministry in charge of privatization. “This is definitely a fixer-upper. It needs a little water, it needs grass. You have to make it green again and bring in trees. But once you do that, then everything else is cosmetic.” Bunkers here, are the real deal. Goats [...]
The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War to ensure that states could not make one set of laws for one group of Americans (like African-Americans) and another set of laws for another groups of Americans (whites). “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make [...]
Fred Phelps, the “preacher” who gained notoriety as he protested American soldier funerals — is now protesting outside the Obama children’s Quaker School. The church sport vile signs which express their claim that tolerance of homosexuality in the U.S. led God to cause the 9.11 attacks — attacked gays and Obama in unconscionable terms. Apparently the Obama girls took it all in stride.
Inb the 1930′s, Father Coughlin was a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest at Royal Oak, Michigan’s National Shrine of the Little Flower Church. He gained notoriety as an outspoken critic of the new Deals Policies of Franklin Roosevelt. Like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, various TV evangelists like John Hagee and Rod Parsley, he had a large following. During the 1930′s more than 40 million people turned into his radio broadcast each [...]
For the life of me, I could not figure out how “Christians” of any sort, could oppose Health Care Reform that would save the lives of 44,000 American every year. So I turned to one of the religious channels to listen. And I happen to find a program called “Center For Moral Clarity,” hosted by Rev. Parsley. And what did I find — lies. The whole show was about abortion [...]
