West Virginia Democrats stall pro-marriage bill

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 8:20:34 PM
 West Virginia's House of Delegates voted along party lines Monday to end this session's chances for a proposed constitutional amendment on marriage.

 

 

An evangelical group has pressed lawmakers this session to have marriage defined as between one woman and one man. But the resolution needed to put the issue before voters has stalled in committee. That prompted Monday's move by Republican delegates to force it to the full House.

 

Delegates voted 67-30 to reject the attempt. All 29 House Republicans voted to move the measure out of committee, as did Delegate Tom Louisos, D-Fayette.
 
(Things like this makes me think more and more the Democrats are in the pokets of the radical  pro  same sex marriage people. This is also why that party  is losing  pro family voters and those in the middle. Read more on this issue West Virginia Democrats stall pro-marriage bill.)

German family seeks U.S. asylum to homeschool kids

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 8:00:17 PM
Homeschooling is so important to Uwe Romeike that the classically trained pianist sold his beloved grand pianos to pay for moving his wife and five children from Germany to the Smoky Mountain foothills of Tennessee.

 

Romeike, his wife Hannelore, and their children live in a modest duplex about 40 miles northeast of Knoxville while they seek political asylum here. They say they were persecuted for their evangelical Christian beliefs and homeschooling their children in Germany, where school attendance is compulsory.

 

When the Romeikes wouldn't comply with repeated orders to send the children to school, police came to their home one October morning in 2006 and took the children, crying and upset, to school. "We tried not to open the door, but they (police) kept ringing the doorbell for 15 or 20 minutes," Romeike said. "They called us by phone and spoke on the answering machine and said they would knock open the door if we didn't open it. So I opened it."
 
(It is sad that this family has to move from their own nation just because they want to teach their children at home. Lets all hope nothing like that ever happens here  in America though these days we are getting closer to that. Read more about this family German family seeks U.S. asylum to homeschool kids.)

Remembering Terri Schiavo, continuing the fight for life

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 3:12:59 PM
Today is the fourth anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman who suffered starvation and dehydration at the hands of her physicians and her husband.

 

Married and in her twenties, Terri Schiavo suffered a sudden illness and was hospitalized, then put on a ventilator and a feeding tube. In a court battle with attempted congressional intervention, her family tried to prevent the removal of her feeding tube. However, her husband fought to remove it, and she eventually died.
 
The painful memory of that still lingers for her brother Bobby Schindler. "It certainly is a sad day. March 31 will mark the fourth year of Terri's death by dehydration, and there's really not a day that doesn't go by where our family doesn't think of Terri," he notes.
 
(Just like we must never forgot all the babies who have been killed  in the name of pro choice we must never forget the murder of   Terri Schiavo . Read more of the above story Remembering Terri Schiavo, continuing the fight for life.)

Condom distribution at church - UCC likes the idea

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 3:04:32 PM
The Institute on Religion & Democracy is blasting the religious denomination of President Barack Obama for its recent stance on condom distribution inside houses of worship.

 

Recently, the HIV and AIDS Network of the United Church of Christ (UCC) said condoms should be handed out at places of worship. The statement was issued during a presentation to the denomination's Wider Church Ministries Board and also advocated making condoms available at faith-based educational settings.
 
A UCC executive said that condom distribution is a matter of life and death and that condoms should be made available to save the lives of young people.
 
(How about in those churches teaching young people what the Bible says about the fruit of the spirit being self control,  Galatians 5:22-23.
Should we also teach safe drug use in those churches. It is an outrage that the  denomination of President Barack Obama wants to use places where the Bible should  taught and followed as a place to bless and encourage sin. Read more on this issue Condom distribution at church - UCC likes the idea.)

Is Obama Worth a Mass?"

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Monday, March 30, 2009 9:22:55 PM
Now that the abortion president will be honored and feted and listened to at Notre Dame’s commencement, the question becomes, who will say the commencement Mass?


The University of Notre Dame has officially and with much self-satisfaction invited President Barack Obama to address its 2009 graduates and to receive an honorary law degree. Not to put too fine a point on it, this is a deliberate thumbing of the collective nose at the Roman Catholic Church to which Notre Dame purports to be faithful. Faithful? Tell it to Julian the Apostate.


That someone who procures or advocates abortion thereby excludes himself from communion with the Church has been clear doctrine all along, and increasingly bishops have found the courage to tell those Catholic politicians who are the great enablers of abortion legislation that they cannot receive Holy Communion. Is it any worse to celebrate such a politician as Barack Obama? So where does that put ND President Father Jenkins? He can hardly say Mass without receiving the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so doubtless he will recuse himself and have someone else say the Mass. But to whom will he go? All his cohorts must come under the same cloud as he.
For one whose fifty-four year career as a member of the Notre Dame faculty is coming to an end this June, it is a bitter thing to reflect on the 2009 commencement speaker. It is of course convenient to have an excuse to absent oneself from the festivities. Listening to commencement addresses is the penalty that graduates must pay to receive their diplomas.

(The above was written Ralph McInerny  who is a writer of philosophy, fiction, and cultural criticism, who has taught at Notre Dame since 1955. He is right. It looks to me as non Catholic  that the leaders of ND have  forgotten or are rejecting  what their faith teaches. Read the whole column  by   McInerny  Is Obama Worth a Mass?" )

Planned Parenthood honors Hillary Clinton

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Monday, March 30, 2009 12:54:38 PM
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has told a Planned Parenthood convention that reproductive rights, as well as women's rights and empowerment, are key issues in President Barack Obama's foreign policy. (  Planned Parenthood honors Hillary Clinton    )

Clinton vowed her support for these issues during a speech Friday evening at the Planned Parenthood's national conference in Houston.

She was honored by Planned Parenthood...the nation's leading abortionist.
(This shows us if we needed anymore evidence that the current White House is part of the radical left when it comes to the issue of right to life.)

Pro-lifer pastor spends week in jail

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Monday, March 30, 2009 12:44:47 PM
Pastor Walter Hoye has spent a week in a California jail on charges related to his ministry at a Berkeley abortion clinic.
Hoye was ordered to serve 30 days in jail and pay a $1,000 fine after refusing the court's offer of probation. Catie Short of the Life Legal Defense Foundation explains that Hoye declined probation because the court ordered him not to help women.
 
"He told the court that he would do his best to comply with the law," says Short. "It's not like he's saying, 'I'm going to go out there and violate the law. But in the meantime, I want to be able to go and offer alternatives to women who are considering abortion.
(Good for this Pastor. While in jail he is talking to others about his Lord. Read more about this Pastor , Pro-lifer pastor spends week in jail.)

Tiller found not guilty: Pro-life forces vow to continue fight

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Monday, March 30, 2009 12:37:20 PM
A Kansas jury  last Friday  found Dr. Tiller the baby killer not guilty on all  counts.

 

Tiller faced 19 misdemeanor charges that accused him of violating state laws involving late-term abortions.  It was reported on the web site OneNewsNow ( Tiller found not guilty: Pro-life forces vow to continue fight  )Cheryl Sullinger of Operation Rescue  thinks  the charges brought against this man was the weakest  of the charges.
 
"We have to remember that these were the weakest of the charges that could have been brought by the state," Sullinger  notes. "There were 30 charges that had been brought by former Attorney General Phil Kline in 2006 that were dismissed on jurisdictional reasons without having ever been considered on their merit. Had Tiller faced those charges, Sullinger is confident he would have been convicted. ," she concludes.
Lets all hope and pray  that Cheryl Sullinger is right and soon this man  will be back in court. No matter what he will face the judge who is above all judges someday.  Lets pray  that his heart and mind is changed soon.

Jury finds Kan. doctor not guilty in abortion case.

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, March 27, 2009 8:30:17 PM
One of the nation's few late-term abortion providers was acquitted Friday of misdemeanor charges stemming from procedures he performed, but moments after the verdict was announced the state's medical board announced it was investigating similar allegations against him.

Prosecutors had alleged that Dr. George Tiller had in 2003 gotten second opinions from a doctor who was essentially an employee of his, not independent as state law requires, but a jury took only about an hour to find him not guilty of all 19 counts.

Tiller, who could have faced a year in jail for even one conviction, stared straight ahead as the verdicts were read, with one of his attorneys patting his shoulder after the decision on the final count was declared. His wife, seated across the courtroom, fought back tears and nodded. The couple declined to speak to reporters afterward.

Kansas law allows abortions after a fetus can survive outside the womb only if two independent doctors agree that it is necessary to save a women's life or prevent "substantial and irreversible" harm to "a major bodily function," a phrase that has been interpreted to include mental health.

 (This is sad that Tiller the baby killer has gotten off. Now even if  you support abortion this case wasn't about that. Read more on this issue Jury finds Kan. doctor not guilty in abortion case.)

NC's 'Healthy Youth Act' healthy in name only

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, March 27, 2009 8:15:35 PM
The vast majority of North Carolina school districts teach abstinence until marriage -- but one family advocate in the Tar Heel State says a backdoor approach is under way in the legislature to push an agenda that promotes promiscuity. ( NC's 'Healthy Youth Act' healthy in name only  )

 

 

Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League (CAL), tells OneNewsNow that under the proposed bill -- the "Healthy Youth Act" (House Bill 88) -- most students just might get the latter. "Unless parents intervene, seventh- through ninth-graders are going to be instructed on how to use more than a dozen contraceptives, ranging from condoms to 'morning-after' pills," he warns. "This bill is dangerous on several fronts...."
 
According to Creech, the measure labels so-called comprehensive sex-ed as "abstinence-based."
 
"...[B]ut this is truly a misnomer," the family advocate argues in a CAL article. "Call it what you will, 'abstinence-based comprehensive sex-ed' is simply a repackaging of the 'safe-sex' approach.
 
(Why do those on the left believe kids can say no to drugs but not to sex. These souls don't have faith in young people. They must think today's kids are animals.)
 safe sinImage (17) by you.

Murtha award sparks Vet outrage; Navy's 'highest civilian honor'...

Posted by Billy email MADBillyD@aol.com on Friday, March 27, 2009 1:13:37 PM
In one of his last moves before leaving office March 13, then-Navy Secretary Donald Winter quietly awarded 19-term Democratic congressman John Murtha (Pa.) with the service's highest civilian honor.
Citing Murtha's "courageous leadership, vision, and loyalty to the men and women of the Department of the Navy," Winter presented the influential chairman of the House Appropriations Committee's defense panel with the Navy's Distinguished Public Service Award, an honor bestowed in "those extraordinary cases where individuals have demonstrated exceptionally outstanding service of substantial and long term benefit to the Navy, Marine Corps, or the Department of the Navy as a whole," a Murtha release stated.
The award generated little publicity when it was given to Murtha in early March, but as news of the honor trickled out, some veterans groups ignited a firestorm of protest.
The primary reason for their ire stems from the congressman's statements in May, 2006, that a squad of Marines who responded to an IED ambush and short firefight in Haditha, Iraq, rampaged through the village, murdering civilians "in cold blood."
(Yes there is freedom to speak your mind when you don't agree with our leaders buy why should a leader who attacks our brave young men with words which may not at all be correct be  honored? Read the rest of this story right here and take part in a Poll: Should the Navy reconsider Murtha’s award.)
