I. Have. So. Many. Of. Them. Passwords, I mean. Everything I do on my computer requires a password. Time was, I used something simple, straightforward and easy to remember. Now that I’ve been hacked a couple of times, I’ve grown wary. I now create passwords that are complex and unlikely enough to use as launch codes for nuclear missiles. I haven’t been hacked since I started the complex password plan, but I have driven myself batty typing in all these... Read more
Some of the most committed pro lifers are former abortion workers. Only people who have walked the other way can really know how horrific abortion is. That makes their dedication stronger and their testimony more compelling. They are among the most effective pro life warriors that we have. Most pro life people are familiar with Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood Director who just got up from her desk at Planned Parenthood one day, went to the 40 Days for... Read more
Mr Foot-In-Mouth, Missouri senate candidate Todd Akin, just rose in my opinion. Remember Todd Akin? He was the senatorial candidate who basically affronted the dignity of everyone with two X chromosomes by making a statement to the effect that if a rape was “legitimate” the woman’s body would protect itself and not allow her to get pregnant. Aside from the garbled way he expressed himself and the fantasy biology he seemed to believe, his apparent attitude toward rape victims was... Read more
Arby’s just went off my list of places to buy lunch. No one can accuse Maria Archer of being a job hopper. She has worked for Arby’s for 23 years. The Fairborn Ohio Arby’s where she worked has been robbed three times in the last six months, and she didn’t quit. Arby’s did not install alarms, security cameras or hire protection for their much-robbed location. They did, however, seek to enforce a “safety” rule that no employee should be in the... Read more
Boycotts work best when you can narrow it down to one or two businesses. It’s impractical to boycott the whole wide world of commerce. That’s a problem for Christians who want to their dollars to walk the talk of their beliefs. The amoral, anti-Christian ethos penetrates our corporate/entertainment industries to such an extent that it’s almost impossible to pick just one. The logical thing for us to do is to turn the whole question on its head. Instead of boycotting... Read more
Reverend Katharine Marple blogs at Keep Life Legal. She is one of Public Catholic’s most stalwart supporters and a dear sister in Christ. I am going to reproduce her testimony, There is Beauty for Ashes below the YouTube video. The video is her speech at the Stand Up For Religious Freedom rally in her state. Reverend Katharine Marple: My Story, There is Beauty for Ashes I was on my way to the abortion clinic with my mom. It’s been so... Read more
Most people in Oklahoma have Indian blood. I know that politically correct types are going to chide me because I didn’t say “Native American,” but I’ve called the Cherokee that flows in my veins Indian blood all my life. There’s also some Potawatomi mixed in there, but I’m not quite sure how. All I know for certain is that I have relatives who are elected officeholders in the Potawatomi tribal government. My personal family history doesn’t matter except that it... Read more

I published a post a few weeks ago telling the story of a young girl who saw a vision of Jesus while she was trapped in a sex-trafficking brothel in India. The post said in part: … taken as she was walking to school when she was around 7 and put in a brothel. She suffered terrible things which I will not go into here. She was confined in a tiny room and forced to have sex with many men... Read more
Is this poster a relic from a distant past that has no meaning for us today, or is it a reminder of what can happen to anyone who takes their freedoms lightly? Given the rancor and aggressiveness of today’s militant secularists, that is a question all Christians should ask themselves. This poster and 39 others like it were exhibited at the Protect Freedom of Religion event at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver this weekend. According to... Read more
