Take a moment to vote for WDTPRS for the Bloggers Choice Award… if you haven’t done so already, ... pretty please?
Thanks!
“But Father! But Father! Where? How?”
Left side-bar.
I am in a movie theater for some R&R and working on my phone during the commercials. Can you believe it? Commercials! I hate commercials!
“But Father! But Father! Isn’t this….”
Okay. Right. I’ll stop.
I am irritated by something I have heard over the last couple days.
The pols and newsies keep talking about the anniversary of "giving women the right to vote" in the USA.
No!
Women always had the right to vote.
Their right to vote was finally recognized.
We must avoid, in discussing human rights and government, falling into the trap of thinking that the state grants rights.
We have rights because our Creator made us in His image and likeness.
They are written into our being.
We grant the state its rights and obligations.
Perhaps the new GOP VP candidate, Sarah Palin (R-AK) will be available to explain to Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) when human life begins.
And I bet she knows what "gralloch" means, too!
