“You and your kids will be next”
We watched a religious battle take place yesterday on a street in London. In broad daylight, on a very public street, two Islamic militants killed a soldier.
Terri Schiavo’s life is more important today than ever before
Two factions wage a ferocious war in America. One faction believes we should err on the side of death. The other believes we should err on the side of life. The factions clashed in a vicious battle in March of 2005. Terri Schiavo’s fate hung in the balance …
