Is Big Mac Peaking Too Early?
2008-04-19 07:37:00 THE VOICE OF DOOMI feel like the voice of doom or Cassandra predicting the fall of Troy. John McCain’s numbers are too good, too early. Maybe we’re going to be find and are heading toward a historic landslide. This is my prayer. But after 8 years of Clinton, I am terrified. Things are too good. We now hear that Big Mac is winning back annoyed Republicans. “…The poll shows McCain's appeal has grown while the Democrats' has dwindled - suggesting he may be aided by the continued scuffling between Obama and Clinton, the senators from Illinois and ...

Is Malkin Anti-Catholic & Tancredo Steps in It!
2008-04-19 06:20:00 ANTI-CATHOLIC SENTIMENT SURFACESI think by now any thinking person knows the Puppetmaster, John Tanton, is very anti-Catholic . Somehow I don’t think he is very happy with the visit of the Holy Father. So, he has sent his little minions of darkness out to try and ratchet up anti-immigration sentiment based on anti-Catholic bias. The man uses bias and ‘hate’ as his tools of the trade. His minions adopt his values and his tone. The result – well, you be the judge. I think we now know Tom Tancredo and Michelle Malkin are two of his little flunkies. I think ...

Wind, Snow, the ER, and a Sad Event
2008-04-18 07:58:00 THURSDAY, APRIL 17I only have one post today. We spent yet another afternoon in the ER with my mother. Her heart rate was good, but her BP was high – for her. Evidently she had some sort of an attack this AM. She heads back to Las Cruces to the cardo. on Monday. Guess that means I cancel my pedicure. While she was in the ER her sister called.

Do Not Execute Pedophiles
2008-04-18 07:55:00 IT WILL DESTROY THE VICTIMSHarold Hutchinson at Called As Seen and I rarely disagree. I do this time. Harold agrees with the proposal to execute pedophiles who molest children under the age of 12. Aside from the fact that I do not agree with the death penalty, the worst thing you can do to a victim of molestation is put the burden of execution on them. “…Patrick Kennedy, a 43-year-old black man from suburban New Orleans, has been sentenced to death after being convicted of raping his eight-year-old stepdaughter, identified in court papers only as “L.H.” He has ...

I Am Afraid I Have Become a Mac Snob
2008-04-17 07:45:00 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16We’ve had another obscenely windy day. I finally had to go out for diner, and for HE. Fr. Penn did the service. I had Altar Guild afterward. Wednesday night is easy. We “do dishes” then leave. There’s none of that setting up for another service, which is good. My father is now vindicated. Men are more forgetful than women.

I Am Tired of Barack Obama’s Dog & Pony Show
2008-04-17 07:32:00 FAKE IS FAKEI am sick and tired of Barack Obama. For awhile I allowed myself to be seduced into the possibility that I was simply being snarky about him, but I’ve realized that’s not the problem. He and his violate so many things I hold near and dear. I’ve decided, recently, that I’m no longer lowering my standards and being tolerant of alternative political ideals and actions. I believe what I believe. The man is an idiot. (Stop the ACLU) The man does not have the courage to take a stand on anything. I am tired of ... More About: Show , Pony , Tired

(Prairie Pundit has a good commentary) I have a real problem with a new trend in “conservative” blogs to complain about the police actions against this cult (Say Anything Blog) On Easter Sunday Chris discovered that her 14 year old daughter ® had been molested by her father for a period of at least 3 years.

In 1996, he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, which the Senate approved 85-14 and President Clinton signed into law. He twice voted "present" on a bill to ban partial-birth abortions.

What’s Going on in Juarez?
2008-04-15 15:35:00 IT ISN’T GOODFrom the Opinionated Times comes a piece about the cops in Juarez . My friend Maggie has a brother who lives in Juarez, married to a woman whose family has lived there for many years. They had a very good life up until the past few years. The problem with all the anti-immigration hype is the fact that Mexico has many social classes have been completely obscured. Once upon a time, life in Juarez was good.

Is Bob Barr Another Conservative Who Must Hate America!
2008-04-15 05:36:00 THE CONSERVATIVE TREASON LOBBYLibertarian blogs are buzzing at the possibility that Bob Barr will inflate his ego and run for POTUS, thereby preventing John McCain from winning and thereby allowing a marxist socialist victory. In doing so they will also doom our nation to deplorable SCOTUS appointments and a devastating war with Iran. Or as one suicide bomber conservative breathlessly reports “…Or, as Ronald Reagan said about leaving the Democrat Party, “I didn’t leave the party.

Sheriff Joe and the FBI

I think the theme here is the possibility that people are starting to pay attention to the various and sundry outrageous committed by the various and sundry anti-immigration organization and political entities throughout the civilized world. Then there is Sheriff Joe and those nasty illegals (maybe). Mayor Phil Gordon of Phoenix has requested the FBI investigate Sheriff Joe Arpaio for “…pattern and practice of conduct that includes discriminatory harassment, improper stops, searches and arrests."… Gordon's four-page letter details Arpaio's recent sweeps through predominantly Latino ...
A Heartbreaking Story & Prayer Request
2008-04-14 23:16:00 A REQUEST FOR PRAYERSeveral years ago I met a family here in town. It was Christmas and they did not have enough money for presents for their three kids. The Episcopal Church in Lincoln County being what it is, that was all we needed. I think that was the most fun most memorable Christmas ever! That Christmas Eve, Chris had her family there in church. The daughter joined my girl's Bible study. They became regular fixtures. Chris, a confirmed Catholic, was then 'received' into the church by the bishop.

His Eye Is On the Sparrow, Got the Whole World in His Hands
2008-04-14 03:04:00 HE’S WATCHING ME"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." C. S. LewisI’ve had an interesting week. Evidently there are limits to conservative “Christian” love, acceptance, and kindness. From what I am to gather this week, it only applies to heterosexual males and females and to gays and lesbians who are penitent, repentant, and basically willing to have a psychological lobotomy. Character doesn’t matter. The sinner can be a good person and the advertising “Christian” can be abjectly evil. As long as they flaunt their religion and are heterosexual, ...

When in Rome – a Primer for Barack Obama
2008-04-13 05:31:00 NOT READY FOR PRIME TIMEOne of the things that bothers me about Barack Obama is his obvious lack of experience and his abject inexperience and immaturity even though he was born in 1961. Perhaps it is just our culture that coddles men now. Maybe it is his relative inexperience and the fact that he has lived a fairly sheltered existence, with little actual life experience – very little seasoning. I don’t know all the ups and downs of his life, all the little disappointments and heartaches. From his basic biography it is obvious he lived the life many kids ... More About: Rome

What's In Your Resume? Are You a Foreign Policy Expert Like Obama?
2008-04-11 05:20:00 NO EXPERIENCE NEEDEDBarack Obama ’s “real life” experience reminds me of those ‘entry level’ classifieds where they are a front to get people to do commission only hard labor. “No experience necessary”. So the NYTimes has this piece where Obama says real life experience is more important than a life-time of foreign policy experience. “…“Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world,” he continued, provoking laughter among those present. “This I know.
