    900 Years

    There is an old joke about a man that had a conversation with God that went like this, Man, "God what is 10000 years to you." God, "It is like a minute." Man, "God what is a million dollars to you." God, "It is like a penny." Man, "God will you give me a penny." God, "Sure, in a minute." On a...

    The American revolt against green energy has begun

    I live in Indiana where there are cropping up a lot of wind farms. The farmers thought this was a wind fall (pun intended) income on their land. They lease the land under the windmill at rates much higher than they can make farming it. Much of the soil in Indiana is full of peat and clay...

    Trump accuses Biden of ‘persecuting’ Catholics

    This is one time when the USCCB should publish a letter of condemnation on a public figure who professes as being Catholic while pushing strongly anti-Catholic policies. Cmon, man, just become an Episcopalian and stop disgracing the Catholic faith.

    And the Word Became Flesh

    Ephesian 2:4-10 "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...

    And the Word Became Flesh

    I studied this idea of faith and started realizing that many take faith to be a one way street. We have faith in God and that is part of our salvation. Then I realized that God first has faith in us. His faith was so strong that He sent his only son to be a visible sign of love and hope, to...

    Fox has it become the Trump channel

    I agree about CNN; but it wasn't always that way. During the 2020 election they were heavily behind Biden. Since then they have swung towards the center; but it really depends on the host. Some of them still get that "Who farted?" look on their face every time they say "Trump".

    Fox has it become the Trump channel

    I think they tried to distance themselves from Trump a little after the Dominion case. They covered the various Republican debates well; but now that it seems the Republican candidate will be Trump, they have renewed more coverage of him. I watch both sides and the middle as far as media. The...

    Putin’s candidate in the US presidential election – Biden

    You might be right; but I don't judge rationality by whether they conform to my morality. Putin has stated some objectives and is working to gain them. He efforts are not being very fruitful; but he has sustained his goals over a decade now from when he took Crimea to the present time. As far...

    Putin’s candidate in the US presidential election – Biden

    There's that 5th grade sort of argument that I have come to love from the left. If pressed with rationality, resort to name calling.

    Putin’s candidate in the US presidential election – Biden

    Navalny was Putin's political opponent. Trump is fighting to keep a campaign alive in US, not Russia. RIght now Trump is a private citizen with no ability to put pressure on Putin other than to state a cheap opinion. He has stated that if he becomes President one of his priorities will be to...

    Putin’s candidate in the US presidential election – Biden

    What good would come from Trump making a statement? Perhaps discretion is the better part of valor in this instance. I am not sure Trump is thinking outside his own realm of interest here; but my sense is that he is playing a long game when it comes to Putin. If he gets elected, then he can...

    Putin’s candidate in the US presidential election – Biden

    Perhaps the simple reason, as stated by Ex-President Trump, is that he realizes that this war in Ukraine will grind on with further and further loss of life and destruction mainly in Ukraine until negotiations are started to end it. It is hard to negotiate with someone you have called a...

    He is a career politician who's total calculus on anything is totally towards will this help my political career. Babies can't vote, so they do not matter to him.

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    Why? Do you believe that abortion is the natural state of things during pregnancy and trying to counsel women to continue with the pregnancy and provide them with what they need is inherently evil?

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    I try not to impute ill will on others or put words in their mouths. Being a Catholic, I could point out all of the hospitals, orphanages, and pregnancy crises centers started by the Catholic church; but I really shouldn't need to. Just go to the yellow pages in your area and search for them...

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    I noticed the same thing. You are right to bring up these legal paradoxes. Until recently in New York someone who killed a pregnant woman could be charged with two counts of homicide. They have since repealed that law to deprive the fetus of those rights and only allow a homicide charge if...

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    And yet current Ohio Penal code gives the unborn those very rights. " (2) In a manner so that the offense is applied or is construed as applying to a woman based on an act or omission of the woman that occurs while she is or was pregnant and that results in any of the following: (a) Her...

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    Our rights extend only to the point that they don't infringe on other people's rights. That is why the denial of any rights to an unborn fetus is the critical assumption in any argument for abortion as a right.

    Poll: Strong majority of Ohio voters back abortion ballot measure

    I agree with most of what you have written here, even the need to put this forward in ballot initiatives; but lets acknowledge that ballot initiatives, like political candidates are strongly influenced by money. On your last sentence making an emotional appeal that abortion reduces poverty...

    We have empathy. We are strongly empathetic of the health of the fetus.
