“Abortions drop 30% in Iowa in 5-year span.”

This was yesterday’s headline in the Des Moines Register. They were reporting on the Iowa Board of Medicine’s upcoming hearing on the use of webcam abortions in Iowa.

This headline confirms Quiner’s Diner premise that the youthful pro life generation is beating the aging Marxist-feminist human abortion crowd. That’s the story: young Iowa women are increasingly rejecting Planned Parenthoods seductive advocacy for human abortion.

The Register, though, gave the story a different spin with their sub-headline …

It’s been a decade since the great Bob Hope died.

Below is a taste of his wonderful wit. Mr. Hope could be funny without being dirty. His humor is a breath of fresh air in these profane times.

Enjoy!

Mother Teresa didn’t know how to deliver a speech very well. She’d stand at a podium and read her speech without looking up at the audience. When she finished, she’d leave without fanfare.

Martin Luther King knew how to deliver a speech very well. He’d engage his audience with the passion of man on a Godly mission. His speeches had a rhythm, a carefully controlled cadence that kept listeners enraptured. He was a leader, a moral authority sent by God to right a terrible wrong in this country.

Interestingly, despite her rhetorical shortcomings, Mother Teresa, too, kept her audience on the edge of the seat through the sheer power of her moral authority …

“I have a scheme”

A half a century has passed since the greatest speech of my lifetime was delivered.

Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech still moves me to tears.

Sluttiness is chic.

If you watched MTV’s Video Music Awards, and I didn’t, you would have seen singers Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga try to out-slut the other.

Harsh words, I know, but accurate …

Who is your god?

One of my best friends is a liberal. I think she’s okay with that label. She is one of the finest people I know, a truly beautiful human being. She is a lifelong Roman Catholic whose Church holds a central place in her life. Her faith has been her rock in getting her through life’s vicissitudes. I respect her and I love her. I am truly amazed at how differently we see the world …

Like a fine whiskey

Fr. Zach described the Catholic church beautifully:

“The Catholic Church is like a fine whiskey: complex yet simple, earthy yet heavenly, rich yet austere.”

Here is what I’ve learned about the Catholic Church as a convert to the faith …
