Playing While Rome Burns Again

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

What you are about to read is the consequense of a society that has lost it’s way in morality and ethics.

We are encouraged by the Main Stream Media that we need to be more enlightened in determining our behavior in our society. We are told that we need to emulate the great European cultures of France and Germany, and to not be so concerned with morality and ethics as a people. The enlightened societies of the world have a tendency to look at the United States as being intolerant and socially behind the times because of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

CNN has a story today, Specialist: Keeping fetuses may be widespread, which illustrates just how enlightened society in France has become. Here is a segment:

“Investigators probing the shocking discovery of hundreds of fetuses and stillborn babies stored in a Paris hospital morgue are likely (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Theory Of Global Warming Debunked, Again!

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

Red State Rant has a post on Global warming entitled, Stossel on global Warming and oh yeah hate mail to. Don’t you just love it, when this is all they can come up with? Here is part of the post:

“As Stossel reports:

Thirty years ago this month, Newsweek reported: “There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production — with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now.” The headline? “The Cooling World.” That’s right: Just 30 years ago, scaremongers were telling us about global cooling . The alarmists never stop. Maybe the key issue isn’t science. Maybe they just want us to be “concerned.”

Red State Rant has the link to the original article on Town Hall. Our two pet theories debunked in one week. What more could one ask for? See here for the other theory debunked.

Evolution Theory Debunked Again

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

The theory of evolution has taken another hit according to an article from Agape Press on News Bull Family Blog Forum, entitled, Young Earth Creationist Has New Bone to Pick With Evolutionists.

This from the report:

“According to an article published in last month’s Science magazine, in 2003 scientists found a Tyrannosaurus Rex thigh bone during an archaeological dig. The research team had to break the bone in pieces in order to fit it into a helicopter, and when they did so, they discovered the fossil contained well-preserved soft tissues, including blood vessels.”

The original Science Magazine article can be found here.

This raises some fascinating questions concerning some key components in the evolution theory time-line. Ken Ham, President of Answers In Genesis is quoted as saying,

“The reason this is such startling news is because you just wouldn’t expect soft tissue (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Another Right To Life Case

Friday, April 8th, 2005

If you thought the right to life scenario was over after Terri Schiavo, think again. A case in LaGrange, Georgia of an 85 year old woman who has a living will is being usurped by her granddaughter.

It seems a well-meaning, but uninformed judge has granted the power of attorney to the granddaughter. The granddaughter has moved the elderly woman to a hospice and is now withholding nutrition and water from her. This despite the existence of a living will. Thrown Back Blog has the details, here.

The following is an excerpt:

“The similarities of Mae Margourik’s situation and Terri Schiavo’s are obvious: Once again we have a family divided over what care should be given to a seriously ill relative. And once again, we have a judge playing God with someone’s life. But what is different, and in a sense worse, is that Mae is being deprived of food and water in clear contravention of her own stated wishes, and at the request of someone who should have no standing under Georgia law. “

Our thanks to Insta Pundit for pointing to this story. Please read the whole article.

Update: Another link to this story from World Net Daily in an article entitled, Granddaughter yanks grandma’s feeding tube. It seems we may have been too kind in our reference to the judge in our statement above. This artice is much more detailed, with statements from Mrs. Magouirk’s nephew Ken Mullinax.

Unsettled Questions On Schiavo

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

Our thanks to Hugh Hewitt, for pointing to this article in USNews.

The article written by John Leo entitled, End of the Affair, has a round-up of final thoughts about the Terri Schiavo case. Please read the entire article. It is worth your time and effort.

The most stunning paragraphs of the article are the “Unsettled Questions”. Here is the excerpt:

” Unsettled questions. Public opinion: Polls showed very strong opposition to the Republican intervention, but the likelihood is that those polled weren’t primarily concerned with Terri Schiavo or Republican overreaching, if that’s what it was. They were thinking about themselves and how to avoid being in Terri Schiavo’s predicament. Many, too, have pulled the plug on family members and don’t want these wrenching decisions second-guessed by the courts or the public.

If this is correct, it means the country has yet to make (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Interesting Conflicts of Interest

Monday, April 4th, 2005

For those who thought Michael Schiavo and his attorney had Terri’s best interest at heart, you might want to take another look.

From the Toronto Free Press we have this article from March 31, 2005 entitled, Mainstream media unreported conflicts of interest in Schiavo tragedy. Here is an excerpt:

” There’s the death-is-beautiful, right-to-die activist Michael Schiavo attorney George Felos.

Don’t make eye contact with Felos, who claims he can ascertain a person’s desire to die by “looking into their eyes” and letting their spirits speak directly to him.

A jumped-up volunteer at Woodside Hospice, Felos became chairman of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, which runs Woodside, and only came off the board about a year after Michael Schiavo placed his estranged wife there.

Then there’s Dr. Ronald Cranford, handpicked by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri and on whose say-so Terri was categorized in “persistent (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

The Terri Schiavo Ripple Effect

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Terri Schiavo has passed away, but the events surrounding her passing will have ripple effects for years to come. Red State Rant quotes a familiar Scripture Passage as comfort here.

“Revelation 21:4
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Hugh Hewitt, has a roundup of several articles that are well worth reading. His roundup is entitled, An Outbreak of Religiousrightitis. Here are a couple of excerpts from his post.

He includes a quotation from Peggy Noonan’s Wall Street Opinion Journal article dated today, found here.

“Back to Noonan, who, when she is “on,” says things in ways that ought to be scratched into marble somewhere, like this:

“A great nation does not like to see an (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Our View On Life

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

Here are a few links to spell out the diverse views on life and their consequenses in today’s society.

First, Lone Star Times has an article entitled, Margaret Sanger, Eugenecist. One may not catch the significance of this article on first glance. Here is an excerpt:

“Sanger promoted birth control as a means to reduce the population of “defectives, delinquents, dependents. These are the most devastating curse on human progress and expansion.” In this category fell the mentally retarded, the disabled, the poor, blacks, Jews, and eventually even Catholics. These groups of “human waste” were, in Sanger’s view, to face enforced sterilization and internment in concentration camps.”

Secondly, Radio Blogger has some information on another view of life. In an article entitled, Who is George Felos?, there are some passages from a book written by the attorney who represents Michael Schaivo. Here (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Who Is Grandstanding?

Monday, March 28th, 2005

There has been much criticism of President Bush and Congressional Republicans during the last week concerning the emergency session, and subsequent measure passed to help save the life of Terri Schiavo. Most of the criticism concerned the issue of Federalism, and States Rights, and whether the Federal Government and the Bush Administration had over-stepped. We have seen poll information cited as authoritative, to back these claims, and how the Republicans and Bush were going to pay a political price for their alleged “grandstanding”.

First of all, most of the poll questions of last week on the Schiavo issue have been suspect, thus providing bogus results.

Secondly, It was not only Republicans, but a large number of Democrats who participated in the emergency legislation.

John Fund writes in the Wall Street Opinion Journal Online, a “barn burner” of an article entitled, Selective Restraint, Liberals cheered when Janet (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)

Reflections

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

Red State Rant has a great article on the waning hours of Terri Schiavo’s life, asking the question, Moving On? His final statement says it all, “Some of us will move on. But not all.”

Powerline, has the complete roundup on Terri Schiavo in an article entitled, Conduct unbecoming, that is well worth reading.

Is Evolution a Theory or Religion?

Sunday, February 27th, 2005

Growing up in a small rural Missouri town during the fifties and sixties, the PCB remembers well what was taught as the theory of evolution in the elementary classroom. Specifically that evolution was indeed a theory of the origin of life. The idea that evolution is a theory has itself evolved into evolution being taught as a fact in today’s modern classrooms.

In Cobb County Gerogia in 2002, a local school board challenged that assertion by the insertion of stickers inside the covers of the biology textbooks. This move came after some parents of the students had become concerned that evolution was no longer being presented as a theory in the new text books, but as fact.

The story as detailed by Fox News here, dated November 8, 2004, which gives the full account of the lawsuit filed by six parents and the Georgia Chapter of the American (Read the rest of the story below the fold...)
