The Prez Who Hates the Bill of Rights and His Senatorial Minions Write a Little Law

Last updated on: September 16, 2013 at 10:27 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

The HHS Mandate. (First Amendment) Surveilling the American people. (Fourth Amendment) Gun control. (Second Amendment) Those pesky amendments keep getting in the way of better government. Thankfully, we have a Congress (who we trust soooo much) who, as everyone knows, always puts the needs of the American people ahead of any special interests, to take care of those little tripping-up points in the Constitution. These are the folks who sat on their thumbs while the administration pushed through a quasi... Read more

Another shooting, this time at the Navy Yard in Washington DC. The details available are almost certainly at least partly incorrect. But here is the information as of now. From the Washington Post: At least 12 people are dead and others were wounded after as many as three shooters dressed in military style uniforms opened fire in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, police said, spreading fear and chaos across the region as authorities tried to contain...

The Pope, Priests and Fatigue

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 6:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis recently discussed a letter he received from a parish priest at a gathering of Rome’s priests at the Vatican. The priest had mentioned his fatigue. I think that’s something everyone who bears a responsibility for other people can understand. Here are the Holy Father’s comments. Read more

“If You Don’t Like Gay Marriage, Then Don’t Get Gay Married”

If you don’t like gay marriage, then don’t get gay married. That’s how the slogan goes. But … who really believed they meant it? Not, evidently, the Church of Scotland. The Kirk, as it’s called, is considering a move to discontinue performing marriage services “rather than face a slew of lawsuits from homosexual couples demanding to be wed.” Read about it here.

They don’t know us. They are our own government, our elected officials, our press. They claim to speak for us and to inform us. But they don’t know us. Not at all. Not even a little bit. We are not their sheeple to manipulate and lie to and send to die. We do not and will not endlessly respond with Pavlovian obedience to the bells they ring for us. That truth is slowly dawning on the insulated and isolated minions... Read more

Breaking: US, Russia Reach Deal to Destroy Syria’s Chemical Weapons by 2014

The people spoke, and for once the government listened. It seems that the US and Russia have brokered a deal to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons by 2014. Presumably, this is the way to avoid America going to war in Syria. One question I have: Where is Syria in all this? The United States and Russia brokered this “deal.” That’s interesting. But it’s even more interesting that the two 800 pound gorillas did all this “brokering” on their own. I am... Read more

Christians in Syria have enjoyed relative tolerance under the Assad regime. My questions earlier were Who are the rebels and Why is our government willing to go to war to help them win? Do we really want them to win? I still don’t know the answers to those questions. Read more

Did Pope Francis REALLY Say That?

An Italian atheist I’ve never heard of published an open letter to Pope Francis with a string of questions (challenges, is probably more like it) to the Pope. The Holy Father astonished everyone, including, I am sure, said Italian atheist, by answering him. The letter Pope Francis wrote is, like so much else he does, deeply pastoral. It’s clear when you read it that he was responding as a pastor of souls. However, there was one paragraph that has... Read more
