St. Thomas More argues with Martin Luther, PART II
What force has this pronouncement of Christ’s: “The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, when He comes, will guide you into all truth”? [John 16:13]
He doesn’t say that the Spirit will “write” to you or whisper in your ear, but he will lead you, will form you interiorly, and with His breath will show your hearts the way to all truth …

Iraq post-mortem
We should not have gone to war in Iraq on March 18, 2003.
Knowing what we know today, few Americans would disagree with that statement.
The Congress at the time disagreed. In bi-partisan votes, both the House and Senate supported the resolution put before them to go to war.
At the time, honorable people did disagree, such as Pope John Paul II:
Obama's IRS gives the American public the finger. Thank-you, Paul Ryan, for standing up for us.

The way to really get your points up is to sign up for a card that has a good sign-up bonus.
My advice would be to be picky. Never sign up for a card that offers less than 50,000 points. Sometimes you can find ones that offer 100,000. Hotel cards work a little differently. Never use points for merchandise. Its never a good deal …

Megyn Kelly beats up on Dick Cheney and Barack Obama
“In your op-ed, you write as follows: ‘Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.’ But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well, sir. You said there were no doubts that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said we would be greeted as liberators. You said the Iraq insurgency was in its last throes back in 2005. And you said after our intervention, extremists would have to “rethink their strategy of jihad.” Now with almost a trillion dollars spent there with 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?”
