My article in today’s HeadlineBistro. The recess appointment of Dr. Donald Berwick as head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has triggered alarm among various quarters for his self-professed admiration of health care rationing as seen in other countries such as Britain’s National Health Service. The issue here moves well past the [...]

Stupak Planned This Vote All Along
Posted in Abortion, Health Care, tagged Abortion, Health Care, Stupak on March 22, 2010 | 5 Comments »
In a town hall meeting in his home district, Stupak announced that even if his amendment failed, he would vote for the health care bill. So, if he could leverage anti-abortion language, he would. If he couldn’t, rather than force a failure on Obama and a return to the bargaining table, Stupak announced that he [...]
NY Times: Obama the Christ
Posted in Health Care, tagged NY Times, Obama, Obamacare on March 16, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This photo of Obama from this past Sunday’s New York Times. The Cross. The Halo. The finger pointing Heavenward. The Temple (White House). The Sermon on the Mount. This isn’t photojournalism. This is Marxist-style propagandizing. The Times has dropped all pretense at journalistic objectivity. They have been waging war on Christianity for decades, with Evangelicals [...]

The Wall Street Journal reports that Senator Ben Nelson will air a defense of his traitorous vote during tonight’s University of Nebraska Holiday Bowl game. The good Senator will reportedly say: “I listened to you and took a common-sense approach to improve the bill. Now it lowers costs for families and small business, protects Medicare, [...]
Democrats Trying to Make Death Panels Permanent Fixture

A picture tells a thousand words. Honest Leadership. Open Government. Words emblazoned in the background and foreground. Politicians do this when their actions are deceitful and dishonest. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. This is the Party that literally changed the locks and would not permit Republican participation in the process, who [...]

Trial lawyers have an old saying. “When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the facts are not on your side, pound the table.” In the debate over the link between abortion and breast cancer, there is a fair amount of table-pounding by those who support the status quo. This is accomplished [...]

A little-known anniversary passed very silently on the tenth of this month, the twentieth anniversary of AIDS activist group ACT-UP’s desecration of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. The New York Times reported the incident. It was the culmination of many smaller-scale desecrations at the Cathedral by gay groups, including Dignity. From 1987-88 I was a seminarian for [...]

Associated Press New York In what has become the defining event in American Constitutional Law, arrests of Catholic Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, Religious, and laity have continued into a second day, and will surely cast a pall over President Obama’s second term in office, as well as his legacy. After the U.S. Supreme Court refused to [...]

Julie Schmit-Albin of NE Right to Life comments over on Jill Stanek’s blog that abortion was used by Senator Ben Nelson as a “pawn” in the healthcare debate. She and Stanek assert that when he loaded up on enough pork and perks for the folks back home, he betrayed the unborn. All true enough, except [...]
The Shame of Senator Nelson
Posted in Abortion, Dignity, Health Care, tagged Abortion, Native Americans, Senator Nelson, Shame on December 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
SHAME used to be a powerful motivation for people to avoid evil and do good. Of course there was a healthy dose of people seeking to remove specks from other’s eyes while carrying planks in their own, but true shame was for the egregious public offender. Today, Senator Nelson ended his crusade to keep public [...]
