Breaking News: Jury Finds Man Guilty of Murder in Kansas Abortion Provider's Death -

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 12:51:04 PM

A man who said he killed prominent Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in order to save the lives of unborn children was convicted Friday of murder.

The jury deliberated for just 37 minutes before finding Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., guilty of premeditated, first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting death.

He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years when he is sentenced March 9. Prosecutor Nola Foulston said she would pursue a so-called "Hard 50" sentence, which would require Roeder to serve at least 50 years before he can be considered for parole.

(I hope this has brought some peace along with a feeling of  justice to Tiller's family and will  help them to see all human life is a gift from God and should be valued. As I  posted before this killer might say he did  this to save unborn babies but this act was an anti life act. It has hurt the pro life movement.

Nelson: No plans to hang up in 2012

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 12:41:18 PM

U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson says there's plenty of fight left in him.

The Nebraska Democrat, whose job approval rating has dropped below 50 percent, told The World-Herald on Thursday that he expects to seek re-election in two years.

“I can stand the heat, so I'm staying in the kitchen,” Nelson said in an interview.

He added: “I have no plans to hang it up in 2012.” (Nelson: No plans to hang up in 2012  )

( I wonder if Mr. Nelson will change his mind about running again.  I hope the good people here in Nebraska will not forget his vote on health care. I hope he does run again and the Nebraska voters bring him home from Washington D.C. )

Abortion Doctor Slaying Was Anti Life Act

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 11:24:00 AM

Jurors must decide whether a man who openly confessed to killing a Kansas abortion provider committed murder now that defense attorneys have lost their bid for a lesser charge of manslaughter.

Scott Roeder's lawyers failed to show that Dr. George Tiller posed an imminent threat and therefore will not be allowed to ask jurors to consider a voluntary manslaughter charge, District Judge Warren Wilbert ruled Thursday. Wilbert also noted abortion is legal in Kansas.

Voluntary manslaughter required the defense to show Roeder had an unreasonable but honest belief that deadly force was justified. Roeder says he acted to save the lives of unborn children.

Jurors return to the courtroom Friday to hear closing arguments and jury instructions before beginning deliberations.

Wilbert also refused to allow them to consider a second-degree murder conviction, which does not involve premeditation, because the evidence — and Roeder's own testimony — clearly showed Roeder planned the shooting.

(Those of us who are pro life must do all we can to stop abortion. However we must never do anything that is anti life and those of us who are not only pro life but followers of Jesus must do nothing to dishonor  our Lord. Two wrongs don't make a right. The killing of this doctor was an anti life act and didn't bring honor to the Lord. How sad. Read more of the above story Jury to consider if abortion slaying was murder.)

Blair offers justification for Iraq war

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 11:10:54 AM

An unrepentant Tony Blair defended his decision to join the United States in attacking Iraq, arguing Friday before a panel investigating the war that the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks made the threat of weapons of mass destruction impossible to ignore.

The former British Prime Minister said that before Sept. 11 he thought "Saddam was a menace, that he was a threat, he was a monster, but we would have to try and make the best of it."

The attacks on New York and Washington changed everything, he said. (Blair offers justification for Iraq war)

"After that time, my view was you could not take risks with this issue at all," he said.

This is Britain's third and widest-ranging investigation of the conflict, which triggered huge protests and left 179 British troops dead. The British military withdrew from Iraq last year.

(No matter what you think of Tony Blair. He was a good friend to America and I missed him as a leader in the U.K. He also cared about fighting evil too bad we don't have more friends like him.)

OBAMA ORDERS JUSTICE TO MOVE TERROR TRIAL OUT OF NYC

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 10:14:45 AM


The White House ordered the Justice Department Thursday night to consider other places to try the 9/11 terror suspects after a wave of opposition to holding the trial in lower Manhattan.

The dramatic turnabout came hours after Mayor Bloomberg said he would "prefer that they did it elsewhere" and then spoke to Attorney General Eric Holder.

"It would be an inconvenience at the least, and probably that's too mild a word for people that live in the neighborhood and businesses in the neighborhood," Bloomberg told reporters.

"There are places that would be less expensive for the taxpayers and less disruptive for New York City."

State and city leaders have increasingly railed against a plan to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in Manhattan federal court since Holder proposed it last month.

Sen. Chuck Schumer said he was "pleased" that the administration is reconsidering the location of the trial.

(If this report is correct this is the right move by President Obama. However if he is moving it to another  court room  here in America  instead of giving it back to the military that is not the way to go. Read more on this issue PAPER: OBAMA ORDERS JUSTICE TO MOVE TERROR TRIAL OUT OF NYC.)

Standing up to Leaders

Posted by Billy on Friday, January 29, 2010 10:04:22 AM
There is no doubt in my mind that Repub­licans want to do anything to make Presi­dent Obama look bad and weak. Some have even expressed hope that he would meet his Waterloo. It’s a sad day in America when we have senators hoping our president will fail and not wishing him to do well.

Just because we have a two-party system doesn’t mean we have to fight on every is­sue. If we all worked together for the good of the country, we would be a much stron­ger country. It’s a shame when the GOP is determined to make the president fail on one issue so it can tear him down.

As a former member of the GOP, I had to get out because there is so much hatred toward our president. 
(The above is part of a letter that was in my local paper. To hear the whole letter and to  find out my thoughts on standing up to a leader please watch a video I posted last night on You Tube standing up to Leaders. When I posted the video not all of it was posted but I think you will get the idea anyway.)
