At your next party get-together

What is this called?

It’s a kitchen tool from my stove drawer, and I think I’ve had it at least 51 years.  I think its purpose is to remove hot things from water—like baby bottles being sterilized—something we used to do, when we moms made formula.  For the last few decades I’ve only used it occasionally—probably for salads or to pull something hot out of the oven or microwave. But I don’t know what it’s called.

I was watching YouTube and an OB-GYN, Dr. Levantino, speaking on Priests for Life while rather drily describing a 2nd trimester abortion (D & E), of which he’d done several hundred. He was using fetal models, but had the actual tools to dilate the cervix and invade the uterus (that’s a medical term—invade—not kidding).  My tool has some semi-sharp teeth for griping, but his were very pointed and sharp  and straight,  less curving.  He described going into the uterus with the tool, grabbing an arm or leg of a living baby with those sharp teeth, all by feel since he can’t see what he’s doing, and twisting and pulling, until a little arm or leg came out. The limb or heart or lung was then laid on a tray because after the abortion, all the pieces had to reassembled or the woman/girl could hemorrhage.

I don’t think I’ll use this tool again. 

How many pro-choice voters, who send donations to Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the U.S.,  know what goes on during an abortion?  The doctor said sometimes he pulled out a little face that was looking back at him.

All legs crossed—gossiping with the girls

We can all feel safer that the President meets regularly with advisory groups like The View and Jay-Z/Beyonce.

Stop beating up Mitt Romney

A friend via e-mail says:  “I support Mitt Romney because... should be our mantra... And perhaps his campaigning tactics aren't quite right on, so what are we doing about it? Do we agree with Obama and what he has done in his campaign? Does a true, leader's test come directly from misleading a country for almost 4 years and topping it off with damming campaigns about our country's status, about his opponent?

Think about what Obama will do IF he is re-elected! He will have unfettered reign over all policies...cap and trade, taxes, oil drilling (what a joke!), our Constitutional rights, and will he re-write the 2-term limit of the presidential office.

As we focus on the real issues, we all need to read the statements that the candidates make about policies regarding the issues. For instance, I am outraged by how Obama, Clinton, etc. have swept under the rug the attack on our embassy in Libya and the killing of our ambassador, Ambassador Stevens. No one is really crying out about this, yet we, the United States, were attacked! What about Israel? Arms control across the world? Have you seen Obama's actions/words in regard to these situations? And what do you think about them...?

These are questions for both candidates and if everyone would examine their conscious as to their beliefs, then examine the candidates' records and policies, the choice should be clear. We are brighter than what the media plays us to be...let's show them that!”

You go Girl!

Little princess Wannabee steps in it

"Elizabeth [minority benefits wannabee] Warren represented not just Travelers Insurance, but numerous other companies starting in the late 1990s working out of and using her Harvard Law School office in Cambridge, which she listed as her office of record on briefs filed with various courts. Warren, however, never has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts."

This woman has a real truth problem in her personal and professional life (also claimed to be the first nursing mother to take the bar exam, although how you prove or disprove this, I don't know). I really don't want her in Congress, but I can't vote in Massachusetts. If she wins, Ms. Phony Baloney will be making laws that affect all of us!

Only 27% of the Catholics surveyed support President Obama

Killing Ohio’s economy while adding to your utility bills

We shouldn’t be surprised by what’s happening [laying off 1200 coal miners]. Obama told us his disastrous plan for the coal industry and affordable electricity on the campaign trail in 2008. “If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them,” candidate Obama said then. “Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” he added.

I can't imagine how an intelligent Ohioan can vote for him.

To stop the war on American jobs we must end Obama's war on coal

Noise, Mr. President?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: "Well—look, I have conversations with Prime Minister Netanyahu all the time. And I understand and share Prime Minister Netanyahu's insistence that Iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon, because it would threaten us, it would threaten Israel, and it would threaten the world and kick off a nuclear arms race."

STEVE KROFT: "You’re saying, you don't feel any pressure from Prime Minister Netanyahu in the middle of a campaign to try and get you to change your policy and draw a line in the sand? You don’t feel any pressure?"
...

"When it comes to our national security decisions—any pressure that I feel is simply to do what's right for the American people. And I am going to block out—any noise that's out there. Now I feel an obligation, not pressure but obligation, to make sure that we're in close consultation with the Israelis—on these issues. Because it affects them deeply. They're one of our closest allies in the region. And we’ve got an Iranian regime that has said horrible things that directly threaten Israel’s existence."

Many women are forced to abort

But this one was murdered.  Her baby survived, but has cerebral palsy.

It is estimated that about 65% of women who abort are forced by boyfriends, husbands, parents, or peer pressure.  This is choice? This is why you’re sending money to Planned Parenthood?

What can one person do? Pray, says Max Lucado

In the gym, the church parking lot, Starbucks—everywhere I go, I hear the same question: “What can I do about the condition of our country?” Declining moral standards. Economic turmoil. Seemingly endless bickering and posturing of our leaders. More than ever before, citizens are concerned about the future of our nation. The presidential election is drawing near and we wonder, “What can I do?”

Here is the answer: pray. During times of national concern, our first and foremost task is prayer.

Where do you get your news about Mitt Romney?

We already have wealth transfer

Look at what happens when the War on Poverty kicks in during the mid-1960s. Whoosh.  Onward and upward.  And look what happens when the two Bushes are in the White House.  Growth in federal subsidies.  So if we elect Romney, we may save the country from being turned over to radicals, or Muslims, or Communists working inside the government, but I don’t think we’ll save a lot of money.

So it’s our fault?

Dissing Catholicism

"There were a lot of bad speeches at the Democratic National Convention, but Caroline Kennedy's speech was the low point in many ways. She got up on a national stage and used her professed Catholic faith to justify and actually demand the preservation of grave evils that the Church explicitly condemns. She presented lies for the truth, and tried to justify it with her Catholic faith." Jennifer Hartline, Catholic Online.

I know way too many Christians who justify Obama's policies with their private interpretations of the Bible or the church (any church, pick one), ignoring Abortion and the HHS Mandate which destroys their first amendment rights. Look out boomers, you'll be next—first free contraception and abortions on the front end, then he’ll start at the other end with killing them with kindness euthanasia. What makes you so special if others aren’t?

Lyndon Baines Johnson and the 1957 Civil Rights Act

LBJ was one of the best and cagiest politicians and presidents America has ever known.  He was a consistent racist and fought Civil Rights legislation, but as the Republican president and war hero Dwight Eisenhower  pushed the 1957 Civil Rights legislation Johnson became convinced he needed to throw African Americans a bone, not unlike modern day Democrats who keep blacks on a short, tight leash.  Today he is hailed and admired for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  And children are not taught an accurate version of U.S. history.  To the victor belongs the archives, as we librarians say.

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."

Johnson was recorded on a White House taped (and saved) conversation claiming, “I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years.”  How true and perceptive.

The new flag of the left

Obama’s campaign is selling the flag on the right—the red stripes sort of resemble the bloody finger prints on the wall of the compound in Libya where our ambassador and 3 other Americans were killed.

Saturday Night Live plugs Obama

Just so I'm clear, the Middle East is in flames over Obama's policies there, the ambassador to Libya is dead along with three other Americans, Obama is finally called out on his broken promises, lies and horrible policies and SNL is in non-stop attack mode on the Romneys? Really?—Joe Pags

Just another Chicago politician

Dr. Conrad Worrill is an African-American educator, activist and former radio talk show host on Chicago's African-American-oriented station WVON. He told the Examiner that Obama was an inspirational speaker who moved people. But in the end, he became just another Chicago politician.

"His rise in politics, his trajectory in politics has led him to make adjustments in his political decision-making. And that's the case with many politicians. So he's no different from many others in that regard. He's a politician," Worrill said.
