January 28, 2010 · 6 comments

Rick Sanchez, of CNN, is inept. That’s the nicest way I can put it. The guy is clueless. Very embarrassing for him.

PelosiCare will be voted on this Saturday evening. Before that vote happens, we need to email and call (202-224-3121 ) our elected representatives to demand that they vote NO on HR 3962.
Whatever you’ve heard, 1) this legislation still funds abortions with our taxpayer dollars. 2) Its price tag is outrageous and will be crippling to our [...]

Gay “marriage” was voted down again this week in Maine. Activist judges keep trying to push it on people and the people keep rejecting it. In fact, every single state with legalized gay “marriage” has done so by way of the court imposing it. And in every single state where the issue [...]

Catholic Health Association is Big Business?

When Catholics hear the name of an organization like “Catholic Health Association” (CHA) they immediately assume they are there to look out for Catholic interests – particularly in this health care debate.  And one would at least expect that such an organization would be making Catholic teaching a priority.  But that is not necessarily the [...]
