Professor Calls for Forced Sterilization

Right Wing News has the story:

After Germans got carried away applying progressive ideology to the Jewish Question, the movement has backed away from eugenics, limiting its genocidal proclivities to the aggressive promotion of abortion. But to this day, if you scratch a liberal (as progressives now call themselves), you will often find a Nazi. For example, Professor David Marsland wants to save the children by preventing them from existing:

She Met Me Where I Was

A great piece at Betty Beguiles about how you never know who you're affecting so act accordingly:

It was 1999. I was twenty years old and sitting in a hotel room at a spa in Calistoga, California. I no longer viewed Christianity and Christians with derision (a recent development due solely to my having fallen in love with a boy who held such things in high esteem), but I still could not see how it or they were remotely applicable to my life.

While absentmindedly flipping through the channels of the hotel room television I happened upon an adorably dressed Rockabilly chick. She was seated in a nondescript room talking about something with some guy. The substance of their conversation is not what caught my attention, though. Truth be told, it was her trendy clothes and cute hairstyle that prompted me to pause on that particular channel.

Catholics in Alliance Kaput?

Jack Smith at the Catholic Key wonders if a liberal Catholic group has gone the way of the dodo. Pssst...it looks like it has:

This blog has had at least a dozen posts on the background and doings of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good over the last couple years, but this may be the last (let’s hope). It appears they are out of business. Let’s consider the evidence:

Is Natural Always Good?

Good piece from the American Catholic on how natural has come to mean "good" and that's bad:

One of the claims to which people seem peculiarly susceptible at the moment is that if something is “natural”, it must be good. “Natural” foods are believed to be uniformly healthy. The finding that some particular behavior (say, polyamory) is found in nature is taken to be some sign that it is a good thing.

Gunman: Halt Parasitic Human Infants

A tragic situation. I don't want to make any "point" about this but it should be noted that the gunman was anti-infant. I pass it along because I'm pretty sure you won't see that reported very much in the media:

Chaos erupted after at least one hostage was taken at the Silver Spring headquarters of the Discovery Channel by what appears to be a crazed radical environmentalist.

The armed man has reportedly demanded that Discovery Channel executives run programming geared toward stopping the propagation of "parasitic human infants" in order to save the planet from global warming and pollution.

A Former Abortionist Gives Witness

Very disturbing, sad and hopeful video at Coming Home:

There are none so qualified to speak about what goes on in an abortion ‘clinic’ than those who have performed the abortions. We pray for this doctor, for the layers of healing she will undergo as time goes on–and we thank her for her courageous witness to the truth.

Animal Rights Nuts Free 50,000 Minks

Van Helsing has the story:

Righteous guardians of animal welfare have struck again:

Police say break-ins at two fur farms have set more than 50,000 minks on the loose in northern Greece. Now the 50,000 minks can live happily ever after. Or maybe not:

The National Fur Breeders' Association says most of the released animals are likely to die in the late-August heat. It says the cost to the farm owners could pass euro1 million ($1.27 million).

Murkowski Concedes. Wow.

You know this is going to drive the Palin haters crazy:

Another RINO bites the dust…

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – Sen. Lisa Murkowski was booted from office in the Republican primary Tuesday by a little-known conservative lawyer in arguably the biggest political upset of the year.

Cheerio to Cheerios at Mass

Great and funny stuff from Father V. at Adam's Ale:

A new ground breaking study shows that Cheerios at Mass has a link to attention deficit syndrome in adults. Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth of the Perfidia Institute of the Pseudosciences spoke recently at the annual convention of Church Ladies Engaging All to Neatness (or CLEAN for short.) “Zer ees no doubt about it,” he spoke emphatically, “Zer ist a direct link between feeding Cheerios to kids at Mass and the need for comfort food among adults at za Mass later in life.”

Why Do Heavy Drinkers Outlive Nondrinkers?

One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink actually tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking.

But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that — for reasons that aren't entirely clear — abstaining from alcohol does actually tend to increase one's risk of dying even when you exclude former drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers.

Gov't Workers Urged to Attend Sharpton Rally

Gateway Pundit has this disturbing story that government employees were urged to attend the Al Sharpton rally. The thing is that you know when you get one of those emails from work you're unsure if this is required or not. You're unsure if your job depends on you doing whatever the email says. The email might not say it but many people will play it safe:

And, you thought they only did things like this in tinpot dictatorships?
Obama’s top officials are now urging government employees to attend divisive and offensive anti-conservative rallies.

Lefty: Christianity is White Man's Religion

This is just wild stuff. A white liberal is telling a black conservatives that he's adopting the "white man's religion." Oh my. But the black Tea Partiers don't let him off easy. Definitely worth watching the video.

From yesterday’s Beck rally. The first half is one of the black tea partiers schooling a black Democrat who questioned why they were there. The second half (1:32 mark is when you’ll hear the headline quote) is when the white guy jumps into the fray…

Did You Scream or Was That My Salad?

Oh my. This would be bad news indeed for vegans. Troglopundit has the sordid details:

Via Jiblog, who asks: Plants Scream - What will vegans do now?!

The lovely scent of cut grass is the reek of plant anguish: When attacked, plants release airborne chemical compounds. Now scientists say plants can use these compounds almost like language, notifying nearby creatures who can "rescue" them from insect attacks.

GlennBeck has a dream too….

An open letter to Glenn Beck:

Dear Glenn,

I want to thank you for your courage and for your faith in God that showed you the path of your vocation. Please know that there is one Catholic who will defend you and pray for you EVERYDAY…

I watched two movies this week to prepare for the Rally, (unfortunately could not attend live but participated live online) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with Jimmy Stewart and Meet John Doe with Gary Cooper. These characters are...

Fr. Hewes on The Mosque and Religious Freedom

Father Hewes of New York's Saint Mathew's on the Ground Zero Mosque. It's a PDF so you have to scroll down a bit:

The issue of ―religious freedom‖ has been dominating the news lately due to the announcement that a Mus-
lim group has sought permission to take over an empty building in close proximity to the former World Trade
Center site (“Ground Zero”) and build a mosque and Islamic cultural center. Politicians, commentators, sur-
vivors and families of 9/11 have all weighed in.

Much has been made of the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the exercise of religion, not only pri-
vately, but a presumed right to build a house of worship in nearly every place the religious group desires.
The President and the Mayor have taken the tack that any religious group has the right to practice their relig-
ion; hence any opposition to the proposed mosque is motivated by religious bigotry. The Mayor of New York
has been particularly loud in this approach.

EPA to go After 2nd Amendment

Libs know that a frontal assault on gun rights wouldn't work electorally so they'll just appoint some unelected environmentalists to do their dirty work. This is very bad news from Right Wing News:

Absurd as it may sound, the most immediate threat to our constitutional liberties is not the adolescent Marxist in the White House or our soon to be lame duck left-wing Congress, but the Environmental Protection Agency. The Supreme Court's insane ruling that the EPA has authority to regulate CO2 emissions theoretically gives it control over literally all human activity, including breathing. Not even our constitutional right to bear arms escapes the reach of the unelected, unaccountable environazis of our horrifically metastasizing government's most malignant agency.

Mother Dolores Hart on Patricia Neal, Gary Cooper

This is a great interview with a great conversion story:

When actress Patricia Neal died earlier this month, Mother Dolores Hart, the former actress-turned nun, lost a friend. Neal was a frequent guest and supporter of the Abbey of Regina Laudis. Dolores Hart is known for starring opposite stars such as Elvis Presley, Montgomery Clift, and Robert Wagner. At the age of 25, she entered the Benedictine Order at Regina Laudis. She’s still a voting member of the Motion Picture Academy. Mother Dolores Hart spoke with me last week about being converted to Catholicism by sweet rolls, and the role that she played in Neal’s coming into the Church.

Virginia to Regulate Abortion Clinics

Pundette likes what she hears from Virginia:

Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General of Virginia, plays hardball on the abortion issue:

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II has concluded that the state can impose stricter oversight over clinics that perform abortions, a move immediately decried by abortion-rights organizations and others as an attempt to circumvent the General Assembly, which has repeatedly rejected similar measures.

CCHD Facing Test of Support from Bishops

Al Kresta writes:

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is facing a critical test of support among the US bishops this week, CWN has learned.

All members of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) have been asked to respond by Friday, August 27, to a confidential report on the CCHD. The document—“The Review and Renewal of the Catholic Campaign for Human Deveopment”—was prepared in response to bishops’ concerns that the CCHD has strayed from its original and become too closely involved with radical political movements.

Although the “Review and Renewal” document has gone through 5 successive drafts, a number of bishops within the USCCB appear unsatisfied with the document, and supporters of the CHD are fearful that at their November meeting, the US bishops may call for sweeping changes in the program.

Abortion Supporters Lie About Science

Collen Caroll Campbell writes about the distinction between fact and belief when it comes to abortion.

After months of unsuccessfully fighting against Senate Bill 793, a new Missouri law that requires clinics to offer ultrasounds and information about fetal development to women seeking abortions, Planned Parenthood officials and their ilk are trying a new tack. They are trading their charge that optional ultrasounds constitute a threat to women's rights — a nonsensical complaint that never got much traction — for the claim that the law rests on religious and philosophical opinions rather than facts.
The complaint hinges on these words in the law: "The life of each human being begins at conception. Abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being."

Sounds pretty straightforward right? Wrong, says Paula Gianino, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri. As she told the Post-Dispatch recently, "Those are not sentiments that all the world's religions, or all the people in the state, believe in."

Actually, those are not sentiments at all. They are statements of fact.
