A friend of mine named Dan Martin (of St. Louis) has taken the time to arrange images of various Obama buttons into an attractive collage. It's attractive both artistically and in an Obamaesque-reknitting-of-the-social-fabric-sort-of-way. Using a high quality white paper, Dan has been busy distributing 11' x 17" copies of his…
As expected, certain mouths are already looking for ways to tear down Obama and all he stands for, even though---perhaps especially because---they don't know just what that is. It is disheartening. It makes me want to sit them down in a chair from which they cannot move and ask them,…
Bill Ayers talked with Salon.com, exploring many issues. I was especially interested in his characterization of those Americans who would argue that they are passive or non-violent by the fact that they are not, themselves, physically violent.

Check out the campaign website of Benjamin Netanyahu (who is running for Prime Minister of Israel). Does it look at all familiar?
There’s been a lot of vituperation going on about whether anyone who is Roman Catholic who voted for Barack Obama is going to hell. The answer is “NO!” but, Catholic McCain voters ARE going to hell!
How do I know this? Take a look at the facts:
The Catholic Church has five “non-negotiable issues” regarding its teachings on the sanctity of life. It is a mortal sin to support abortion (McCain does in cases of rape and incest), embryonic stem cell research (McCain does [see second debate!], and has twice voted for expansion of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research), to define marriage as anything other than between a man and a woman (McCain voted against a proposed US Constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between am man and a woman). The other two are cloning and euthanasia. I don’t know what McCain says about euthanasia but, the stem cell research may use cloning so he’s wrong on that, too!
So, McCain is wrong on 4 out of 5 “non-negotiable issues” regarding the sanctity of life as pronounced by the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. But, that’s not all!
The Catholic Church has condemned torture saying torture “violates the Fifth Commandment” and is “intrinsically evil.” John McCain voted to allow the CIA to use torture on terror suspects, making torture a policy of the US for the first time in history!
McCain is also on the wrong side of the Catholic Church on the Iraq War, the death …
