True health care for all women

Those who oppose abortion are actually the ones who side with the health and safety of women. The medical effects of abortion and post-abortion stress disorder indicate that abortion is almost never a good health decision for a woman. Many women battle long-term emotional and psychological damage because of profound regret about their abortions. Abortion [...]

In our local Sunday News, (Lancaster, PA.), I read associate editor Gil Smart’s critique of teh dreaded conservatives mistrust of government. Then I turned to Charles Krauthammer’s perceptive analysis of President Obama’s waning popularity.

Watching the tone of our debates

By Steve Cornell

Battle lines have been drawn and the rhetoric has been ugly. On the right, we’re warned of right-wing extremists; on the left, the so-called loonies from the left. Each side is in overdrive to demonize the other and there is no shortage of derogatory labels. In an apparent effort to define and claim [...]

Ronald Reagan on the stimulus package

‘The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
- Ronald Reagan
‘Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.’

Obama angers the people of tolerance

President elect, Barack Obama has angered the bastions of tolerance and progress. How dare he invite Pastor Rick Warren to offer the invocation at his inauguration! He is only permitted to invite people approved by the self-professed gatekeepers of tolerance. If you don’t support the political and moral agenda of the “progressives,” you will be [...]

Role of Government in responding to right and wrong

“There is no way of purging from human beings an understanding of right and wrong, of purging from common life a discourse about right and wrong. Once we think we are in the presence of real wrongs, we think (for example) that it’s wrong for people to torture their infants, our next response is not, [...]

The 44th President of the USA

Congratulations to President-elect, Barack Obama and his family! No matter how I voted, I am deeply grateful for the milestone of this election. For many years, I have had great respect for the many fine African-Americans who have served this nation with exceptional ability in high places of authority and influence. Electing the first African-American [...]
