Archbishop Cordileone called on young people at the West Coast March for Life to defend both the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of marriage. His message is especially powerful, coming as it does from an area of the country in which much of the population appears to be hostile to traditional values. I see Archbishop Cordileone’s statement as the first of what will grow into a movement in the future. Promoters of gay marriage often tell us that... Read more
To join the discussion about The Seeker King, or to order a copy, go here. Elvis Presley never grew up. He hit the big time when he was still a relatively unformed young man, and based on what I read in Gary Tillery’s biography, The Seeker King, remained emotionally at that age for the rest of his days. Sudden success on the scale that Elvis achieved can and often does become a prison for those who experience it. The constant... Read more
One doctor’s answer to the argument that the baby is going to die anyway. This doctor also explains how Obamacare violates the consciences of medical practitioners with its enforcement of abortion at any cost. As a side note, I know a number of people who have healthy children that they were told to abort because the baby supposedly had a terminal illness or grave disability and, when they refused the abortion (often they were under serious duress from their doctors...

You gotta admit. I do have an interesting job. One of my colleagues in the Oklahoma House of Representatives has filed a bill that would make marriage illegal in Oklahoma. He says this is a way to keep gay marriage out of the state and satisfy the Constitution. I’m not going to comment about this right now. I may have to vote on it. And I definitely will be hearing about it in more detail in the next few days. ... Read more
Oklahoma is having a bit of a kerfluffle over the morning after pill. On one side, we have a law that passed last session, simply requiring a prescription for the morning after pill for minors. On the other side, we have the self-appointed, self-annointed arbiters of a narrow and monstrously patriarchal ideology of feminism that says that women’s human rights center entirely around the pelvic region. The whole purpose of “women’s health” and “women’s rights” as they are pushed by... Read more
God love them. I’m going to save my $, so next year I can join them. Read more
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, in a now-famous rant, put out the Not Welcome mat in front of Empire State pro lifers. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is at odds with the governor over much else, followed up by announcing that he stands with Cuomo “100%” when it comes to this. It’s not often that Bishops of the Catholic Church feel called to chastise a politician’s statements publicly. In my experience, they tend to bend over backwards to assume the... Read more
You know those magazine articles and internet blogs detailing the best places in America to retire? You can take New Mexico off the list. Judge Nan Nash, a family court judge from the New Mexico second judicial district, has decided it’s time to let New Mexico doctors legally kill their patients. Anyone with half a brain knows that, despite the judge’s contentions, that means primarily and mostly our old people. You can read her findings here. If you... Read more
I love these. They are so true. Read more
I called it the Witching Hour. Toddlers melt down at around 5pm every single day. This fact is well known to stay at home moms and other peculiar people who spend a great deal of time with little children. Just about the time you are up to your elbows in getting supper on the table, the babies start cranking out tantrums, whines, arguments and fights. It’s as if someone put crazy drugs in their afternoon snackies. Nobody told me about... Read more
