Bishop William E. Lori recently testified at a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform about the Obama administrations efforts to force religious institutions to violate their doctrine regarding contraception.

The latest news on the environmental regulation front is that the average household’s energy costs will increase by 40 to 60 percent by 2014 as a result of EPA environmental regulation. These rates will “necessarily skyrocket” in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by coal-fired generating plants. We’ve been told that greenhouse gas emissions are the [...]
There’s been a bit of an uproar in the media the last few days about Sarah Palin’s remarks that “Paul Revere warned the British” by “ringing those bells.” (Consider this from the New York Daily News.) The ridicule and derision they, along with the left-wing blogosphere, have put her through is completely understandable. You see, [...]

That takes care of free speech, freedom of religion, the [...]
Yesterday, a nearly 10 year mission was finally accomplished. Osama bin Laden was located, his fortified compound assaulted, and he was killed by a small force of Navy Seals. President Obama held the country in suspense for several hours before addressing the nation at about 11:30pm last night. I think it would have been appropriate [...]
Al Gore is currently promoting his new app for iPhone, iPad & iTouch. The app is an e-book version of his recent climate and energy book Our Choice. The interesting thing is that Apple was recently named by Greenpeace as the least green tech company. And the ultimate irony is, guess who’s on Apples Board [...]
I have to start this post with the admission that I really haven’t kept up with the exploits of The Man of Steel for the past 40 or so years. That said, even though I’ve never been sure of his political affiliation, I can now only conclude that he’s a liberal. I’ve had this realization [...]
