Bob Casey Versus Pre-Born Life
Gene's Blog —
Authority: 427
People often get so wrapped up in themselves, so immersed in their personal lives and interests that they can’t see the forest because those stupid trees keep getting in the way.

For the Family Research Council, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski warned in a Washington Times op ed that a case on gun rights that will soon come before the Supreme Court could “ trigger the unhinging of American culture .” Not only do I think the pair went too far in their claim, I also think they missed several ...2 days ago -

It snowed yesterday and I would be horrible unneighborly if I did not share at least one photo from our morning walk. Here is the most beautiful thing I saw stepping outside my front door.

Eminent South African judge Richard Goldstone’s blistering indictment of Israeli war crimes during the brief Gaza War of a year ago was met with equally-blistering rebuttals by Israel and its supporters who seem to overlook the significant fact that Goldstone is a Jew.
