On the Right Path

Congressional Republicans Pick Pro-Life Stalwarts as Party Leaders

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)
-- The Republican caucus in the House of Representatives picked pro-life lawmakers to head their party as they assume the minority position in Congress. They re-elected two of their current pro-life leaders by having John Boehner of Ohio serve as Minority Leader and Roy Blunt of Missouri as Minority Whip.

Looks like the Republicans are on the right path. Whether or not they ever regain control of the Congress, at least they are doing the right thing.

The strong pro-life records contrast with the pro-abortion and pro-embryonic stem cell research positions of the Democratic leaders.

Members of the Democratic caucus in the House sealed their plan to promote abortion and embryonic stem cell research in the next session of Congress as they picked staunch abortion advocates to lead their party. That means pro-abortion lawmakers will set the agenda of the House for the next two years. Democrats unanimously named pro-abortion California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as the first female Speaker of the House.

Pelosi is a staunch abortion advocate. In the last Congressional session alone, Pelosi compiled a 0 percent pro-life voting record on 10 votes NRLC recorded.

Some say that there is no difference between the parties. I think this shows there is a major difference.

Al (The Ice Man) Gore

Al Gore rains on his party

AL GORE flies in to warn about global warming and -- he's done it again! -- Victoria gets snow in November.Call it the Gore Effect -- the uncanny ability of the world's most famous global warming alarmist to cool any place he tours. You see, this has happened to the former US vice-president and narrator of An Inconvenient Truth rather a lot.

It was first noticed in Boston in 2004, when Gore was due to give a big speech in Boston on the imminent danger of the world frying.

Bingo! The city had its coldest temperatures in almost 50 years. Same story with his speech that year in New York -- delivered in near-record low temperatures.

Sounds like Al should do a global tour. But then, what would he have to complain about.

Strike One (and the game hasn't started yet)

House Democrats Name Hoyer to No. 2 Post

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats picked Rep. Steny Hoyer to be House majority leader on Thursday, spurning Rep. Nancy Pelosi's handpicked choice moments after unanimously backing her election as speaker when Congress convenes in January.

Oh well, you can't win them all. I guess some of the Democrats took Pelosi seriously when she said she wanted the cleanest congress ever, by voting down someone tainted by the Abscam scandal (Murtha). Even though she didn't mean a word of it. How do I know that? Her lips were moving (old joke).

I wonder if this is a sign of what is to come from Pelosi's reign of terror.

Election results

Khamenei calls elections a victory for Iran

By Jon Hemming

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday called U.S. President George W. Bush's defeat in congressional elections a victory for Iran.

Ain't that just great.

Veteran's Day 2006

A great big THANK YOU to all those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

THANK YOU to those who continue to serve us today.

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad (and especially those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan). Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Train Wreck

I witnessed a train wreck last night. The Democrats demolished the Republicans in the 2006 elections.

Lord have mercy.

The looney left is now in charge of the Congress.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy.
