Why Pro Life?

Every year, over a million babies are aborted in the United States. These children are not just an unwanted collection of cells growing in the mother. They are the collective culmination of generations going back countless centuries. Each child has the genetic makeup of the parents, as well as uncles, aunts, grandparents, great-grandparents and on and on.

Each child has recognizable features like eyes, ears, hair and personality traits of those who came before him or her.

The mother is aborting her family tree. Bits of a dear departed grandmother, a favorite uncle, or a cousin are … Read the rest

Tonja Dausand, an awesome liberty and sovereignty activist, behind enemy lines in California, reported to me this:

Hi again,

I spoke with Robert Kappel in Soux Falls (605) 367-8277. He told me that they have not renewed their memebership with ICLEI at this year for financial reasons but it’s possible they might.

All the best,

Tonja Dausend

Thanks and a shout out to Tonja for all she does.

I did see the media reports about Ron Paul has suspended his campaign etc.  NOT TRUE!  Here’s what the email says:

Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process.  We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.

Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted.  Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.  I encourage

While I am not completely happy with the Pirate Party movement, it is a step toward liberty.  It is good to read this blog from the Pirate’s one member of the European Parliament from Sweden:  Amelia Andersdotter:

A few highlights:

Prague declaration on Pirate Party Europe ratifiedAmong the internationally significant decisions of the weekend was PP-DE’s ratification of the Prague declaration authored by pirates from all over the Europe at the Pirate Parties International Conference two weeks earlier. The signatories agree to include a common election program in their platforms for the EP elections in 2014, to coordinate their

Led by Joachim PAUL, the Pirate Party, the somewhat libertarian German Pirate Party won 7.6% of the vote in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s California!

The Pirates were dancing in the streets in a graffiti-smeared neighborhood near the central station as hundreds of the party’s young, laptop-toting followers crowded into a local disco called Zakk to dance the night away.

Joachim Paul, captain of the crew and a biochemical engineer turned politician, took the stage and fired up the crowd, shouting into a sea of trademark orange Pirate flags: “The Pirates in North Rhine-Westphalia are in the state parliament! Tomorrow it’s on

This report has exit polling showing that the German Pirate Party won 7.5% of the vote in the largest state of Germany, North Rhine Westphalia!

Unlike the City State of Berlin, and small states like the Saarland and Schweizig-Holstein, this is a major win for the new liberty party in Germany.

The reporter here has five reasons for the rise of the Pirate Party.  Here’s number four:

The fourth reason is the Piratenpartei‘s early broadening of the party platform. In Sweden, we learned the hard way in 2010 that not enough people will vote a party with a narrow

I have found this from the Daily Paul about the five district conventions held today in the First, Second, Third, Seventh and Eighth Congressional Districts and the word is surprisingly encouraging:

Looks like we got a good number so far.
Adding to the list below:
CD1: 2/3
CD2: 2/3? (Could be 3/3)
CD3: 3/3
CD7: 0/3
CD8: 1/3
Thats so far 10-11 out of 18 which is over half.

This added to these victories in the other districts:

Once again, Bishop E.W. Jackson came away from a Virginia Republican US Senate debate as the winner. His overall performance was perhaps a bit less stellar than the Roanoke Debate, but that was most likely a function of the questions asked, which were so similar that it was not easy to answer without repeating yourself. But Jackson’s closing hit the ball out of the park as you can see in the video below. Jackson’s oratory skills and ability to connect with the audience are an amazing gift, but the substance of his remarks are substantial as is his understanding of … Read the rest

While the Greek Pirate Party only garnered about one half of one percent in the recent election, its counterpart in Germany is rolling right along, having won seats in a third state parliament:  The northern state of Schleswig-Holstein:

Voters in the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein have chosen a new parliament. The Pirate Party has won seats for the first time, while the embattled Free Democrats have fared better than expected.

After its success in Berlin and Saarland, the German Pirate Party – whose policies focus on freedom of information in the digital sphere – has managed to win seats

Here is a very favorable article on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.  A few highlights:

Members of the Louisiana press corps have learned over the years to ask the governor multiple questions at once, as the only way to avoid spending the better part of a press conference listening to his take on every nuance of a single topic.

Even the briefest conversation with Jindal leaves no doubt that he is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about policy, but less immediately clear is whether he has the right stuff to take the next step in a national political environment in which attention

I blogged on the adventures of Special Rapporteur James Ayala, sent by the UN Human Rights Council (You mean the one with Saudi Arabia on it?  Yes, dear readers, that one!) to investigate US treatment of Original Americans.  Ayala called for reparations but thankfully Congress did not even meet with him.

Here’s the latest idea from Special Rapporteur Ayala:  Give Mount Rushmore back to the Original Americans.  No, you can’t make stuff like this up about the UN!

South Dakota’s Black Hills, home to the granite faces carved into Mt. Rushmore, should be restored as Native American tribal lands, a

I found this video amusing when I first looked at it(for the record, I have hazel eyes).  Here’s the summary:

If you have blue eyes, be wary of falling in love with another blue-eyed beauty. According to a study from USA Today, there’s a possibility everyone with blue eyes may be related. Researchers in Denmark say every person with blue eyes descends from one ancestor whose genes mutated 6 to 10,000 years ago.

Of course all blue-eyed people have a common ancestor!  Adam and Eve!  The Bible says we have a common ancestor.  So surprisingly does science!  Try this first:… Read the rest

I am surprised I still have blood left in my veins as opposed to it boiling away between the attack on Serbia and this:

A United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return some of the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination.

A UN investigator in the US?  There is about 100 nations that commit REAL human rights violations and the Human Rights Council sends a special rapporteur to investigate US?  (You mean the one with China and Libya on it?  Yes, … Read the rest

This article about Serbia got my blood boiling so I decided to finally say it:  President Obama, make an apology that I will heartily support!  To Serbia for our attack on their nation for no reason!  The USA never did something like that before (unless you count the Civil War and that is problematic due to Fort Sumter) to any nation.  Our army was used to defend the homeland or to help stop proven aggression (Korea, Vietnam, the First Gulf War) started by another nation.  But the Kosovo War was started by the NATO sock puppet of the USA so … Read the rest

When we think of great efforts in a national competition, we think of:

The Atlanta Braves – in the playoffs every year from 1991 through 2005 (No playoffs in 1994)

UCLA basketball – Eleven national titles and seven in a row (1967-1973)

USA Olympic basketball before the debasement – no real losses from 1936 through 1984 (USA boycotted the 1980 Olympics).

But here’s a program that has won national honors for 33 straight years!  That’s THIRTY-THREE!  Who is it? Butler Bulldogs?  NO.  It’s the Wright State University Model United Nations team.  Here’s the report from the website of the university:… Read the rest

Baroness Warsi caused a minor row when she suggested that UKIP was trying to attract the same kind of voter as the racist British National Party:

Lady Warsi, on the BBC last night, pointed out that Ukip are fielding 14 per cent more candidates at this election than at the last one, while the BNP are fielding the same percentage fewer. She called this “interesting” and asked if there was a “link or an overlap” between the two. Nick Robinson, the BBC’s political editor, asked if she meant that there has been some sort of deal between the two. Here’s

There is a super tiny glimmer of hope that USA Basketball might open the process to non-NBA players:  Kentucky outgoing star Anthony Davis has been named a finalist:

As such, after various reports had linked talented young players from across the N.B.A. to Team U.S.A. (including Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins, Detroit’s Greg Monroe, Washington’s John Wall, and Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving), program director Jerry Colangelo announced on Friday that Oklahoma City’s James Harden and outgoing Kentucky Wildcat wunderkind Anthony Davis will be officially added to the full roster of Olympic team finalists.

As speculated right here at Virginia Right, Butler Bulldogs are joining the Atlantic 10:

Butler will officially join the Atlantic 10 for the 2013-14 season on Wednesday, a source with direct knowledge of the negotiation process told ESPN.com on Tuesday night.

The Bulldogs will leave the Horizon League in all sports and join the A-10 after it formally seeks admission to the league. The A-10 will then accept the Bulldogs’ application to make it official.

I think the Bulldogs will do well.  Stevens is a coaches’ coach, he gets super results from his recruits and recent recruits are reputed to … Read the rest

Mark Holmberg of TV 6 news in Richmond (WTVR) did a nice video report on the National Day of Prayer:

HANOVER, Va. (WTVR) The National Day of Prayer was celebrated, again, at the historic Polegreen Presbyterian Church site in Hanover County, considered the cradle of religious freedom and civil liberty.

It was here that religious rebels fomented a bloodless revolution against the Anglican Church, which was the controlling religion of the Brits.

Here‘s the video!  I am especially impressed with the conclusion of this video.
