Let's Keep Fighting for the Truth

1. Maggie Gallagher refuses to give up the fight against same-sex "marriage", because truth always wins over lies. Good. We won't give up either.

2. Helen Alvare speaking abundant common sense on NDU. On the other hand, there really seems to be something spiritually amiss with poor Prof. Doug Kmiec. I can understand supporting the President and all, but the over-the-top gushing about the President's "intelligence and eloquence" and how his administration has "assumed the mantle of Catholicism" is just embarrassing to read from a grown-up adult who is otherwise such an intelligent person. Something's seriously wrong there, and we need to pray for this man.

3. It's not just NDU, it's also Xavier of New Orleans. There may be a shred of justification for inviting the President, but a political hack like her?

4. Our media and culture glorify pornography, but Francis Beckwith has the proper perspective on the media reaction to the passing of porn "actress" Marilyn Chambers. In the obituary in the Washington Post, Ms. Chambers is quoted as saying in an earlier interview that the pornography business "chews women up and spits them out. It's a business I'd never want my daughter to be in." Sadly, I imagine that her own mother would have said the same thing. Please pray for the repose of her soul, and for all those bound in the slavery of pornography.

5. The Evil One is always more active at this time of the year, and so are his minions of the Temple of Moloch, er, I mean Planned Parenthood. Here they brag about their unique role in the current Administration and here they use pro-life protests at the killing fields as a way of raising money.

6. I missed this before, but here it is now -- US News columnist says that killing babies is a good idea in these economic times. I wonder what the reaction would be if someone wrote that killing journalists was a good idea in tough economic times.

7. Maybe I shouldn't have written that. The Department of Homeland Security apparently believes that those of us who are opposed to abortion rights are a risk of being part of some pattern of "right-wing" violence. Um, maybe it's just me, but isn't it the pro-abortion folks who are committing violence with impunity against over a million people every year?

8. Off to the Installation Mass!
