Wooing Catholics
The Obama campaign is doing its best to maneuver around his extreme pro-abortion position (taxpayer funded, anytime, for any reason) and still attract enough Catholic voters to put him over the top in November. Never mind the question of how a Catholic in good conscience can vote for Mr. Obama who has a %100 approval rating from the fanatical pro-abortion group NARAL... but, how do Senators with a 100% approval rating from NARAL call themselves Catholic (e.g. Durbin-D, IL)? Many Catholic Reagan Democrats left the party altogether over the abortion issue. Will enough be coaxed back into the fold if the whole ugly abortion business is wrapped up in a pretty Obama package?

Letting the Enemy Be All That They Can Be
The Supreme Court is doing its best to hand America over to her enemies. In sympathy with leftist "human rights" organizations and salivating attorneys, five justices are doing their part in returning enemy combatants to the battlefield to kill more brave Americans. Moreover, candidate Obama couldn't be happier with the decision and is itching to appoint more like minded jurists to our high court.

Jim McKay, 1921-2008
Watching the tributes to Jim McKay today stirred up both wonderful and poignant memories. In a pre-ESPN world sports lovers survived on comparatively small doses of televised competition and athletic drama. Yet, we were fortunate that much of what did come to us was masterfully presented by Jim McKay. Indeed, the great gentleman taught us to care about sports and people that would have otherwise remained meaningless and obscure. Unfortunately, his most enduring and affecting contribution was not about sports at all. Instead, he had the unenviable task of introducing an entire generation to the evil and hate that is Islamic fanaticism when it struck at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

A Great President Honors Our Bravest Heroes
Remembering D-Day
We're here to mark that day in history when the Allied armies joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty. For four long years, much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved, and the world prayed for its rescue. Here in Normandy the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history.
We stand on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France. The air is soft, but 40 years ago at this moment... entire speech
