All the news I wish to print

There are all kinds of stories out there. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. Some will make you shrug, some will make you scream. Read any daily paper or listen to any newscast and your emotions can go from happy to sad to disbelief to fear to incredulity to horror to anger in very short order.
As we go along, there will be stories, as Paul Harvey used to say, to "wash your ears out with." There will be others that will make you feel like you need to be deloused simply by virtue of having heard or read them. Some posts will be religious, some secular and for some I expect will defy easy classification in either category. I hope you will join me in this journey and please feel free to comment along the way.
For my part I pledge not to remove any posts unless they are vulgar, libelous, threatening or otherwise in violation of the standards of civil discussion. I will not remove any post simply because I disagree with it but I will reserve the right to respond to any challenges that come my way.
God bless you and welcome to my blog.

Mexico City, Washington Gang up on Phoenix

The spectacle of our own lawmakers applauding a foreign head of state with the temerity to criticize a law passed in our country, occasioned by the exodus from his country that continues unabated, was really quite nauseating. Especially considering how restrictive and exclusionary his own country's immigration laws are. But then that's not really a problem since, after all, who would want to go there?

63% Favor Repeal of National Health Care Plan

Nancy Pelosi insisted that we pass this law "so we can see whats in it." If there is one redeeming feature about this Health Care Law perhas it is the lesson that we should insist that our legislators at least read these 2000 page monstrosities before shoving them down our throats. And if they whine about how difficult that task is then we should give them a far simpler task. Clean out your desk and go home.

Students Caught in Immigration Crossfire

Students Caught in Immigration Crossfire as condemnation is rained on Arizona by people incapable of reading 10 pages. Of course actually reading something might challenge preconceived notions and expose the criticism for the mindless, knee-jerk overreaction that is quickly becoming the hallmark of this administration and its allies.

FOXNews.com - Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It

FOXNews.com - Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It

"'I have not had a chance to -- I've glanced at it,' Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants."

However I do understand that it is on his "to do" list. You know, along with the Constitution.

Libya Wins Seat on UN Human Rights Council

Libya winning a seat on the UN Human Rights Council is kind of like, oh I don't know, electing Iran to a UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Really, how much of a joke does the UN have to become before we withdraw our membership and our cash, kick them out of their East Side digs, and turn the buildings over to Mayor Bloomberg's developer buddies to turn them into condos. Let them move to the Hague where we can ignore them along with the World Court.
