Update, we’ve got video:  Obama’s White House arrests a pastor, priest, and pro-lifers for peacefully praying in front of the White House. Pro-lifers gathered to protest the unconstitutional Obama mandate requiring employers of faith and conscience to pay for abortive medications and procedures in employee health insurance plans.

Occupiers throw grenades and smokebombs at White House with no consequence.  Occupy protesters attack police officers, take over public parks, defy laws, become arsonists, destroy public and private property, threaten harass and intimidate people, and yet they are blessed by Obama and Nancy Pelosi.  Contrast against a priest who kneels down in prayer and is immediately arrested……. think about it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Father Denis Wilde, OSA, associate director of Priests for Life, was among six people arrested today during a peaceful protest outside the White House.

Father Wilde was representing Priests for Life at an organized protest of the HHS  contraception mandate that violates the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion. Priests for Life yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Obama Administration that seeks to permanently block the implementation of the mandate because it imposes clear violations of conscience upon any American citizens who morally object to abortion and contraception.

(Monster Catches) Jeremy Wade likes to fish for predators, but knows where less  adventurous anglers should camp and cast.

Whether it’s a kingfisher perched on your rod or a grizzly bear crashing into  the adjacent water, an angler’s memories are about more than just fish.

In the jungles of South America there’s a fish that sends piranhas finning  for cover. It’s the anjumara – the wolf fish. A diver who pulled his knife on  one sustained lacerations and permanent tendon damage to his hand (I saw the  scars). Trio Indians say the anjumara will take on hunting dogs, snakes,  anything in the water.  (read more)

For a long time I have been an advocate of asking progressives “why” questions.  Not from a snarky stand point, but more from a standpoint of bringing their ideology into the forefront of understanding.   Often when you stop trying to make a point and just ask questions you can expose more than if you advocate.   With that in mind….

If you had the opportunity to present list of questions to confront the President with (in front of a national audience) what would they be?  Serious questions that you think the answer(s) to would provide an understanding to a less engaged audience than yourselves.  What would you ask?

The establishment is up in arms over the possibility of Mittens being dealt a defeat in Michigan and beyond.   How dare we not support their chosen candidate.  We The People are to blame for refusing to accept him.  

Ben Domenech has written a great article outlining the insufferable stupidity behind the establishment GOP vitriol:

(via Ricochet)  John Hinderaker encapsulates an assumption which has started to take hold among many of Mitt Romney’s backers: that the fault for what appears to be an increasingly likely 2012 election loss lies with conservatives for making this a real primary. Speaking of the see-saw of not-Romney candidates, he writes:

The same pattern has been repeated more than once during the current, discouraging presidential nominating process. If the GOP loses this year’s presidential contest, the party will have no one to blame but its own activists.

I’m hearing this meme repeated by many increasingly dejected Romney supporters around Washington, D.C. See, if people had just gotten in line when we told them to, the theory goes, things would be looking up. But this is revisionist history, and this is a meme that deserves to die. (more…)

Pentagon officials say drones used to gather evidence to make case for international response; 40 Turkish intelligence officials captured in Syria, Assad regime claims Israel’s Mossad trained them.  SYRIA –  The United States is flying unmanned reconnaissance planes over Syria to monitor the regime’s escalating crackdown on dissent, U.S. defense officials told NBC television on Saturday.

The drones are being used to gather evidence on the Syrian security forces’ violence against pro-democracy protesters that can be used to “make a case for a widespread international response,” the U.S.-based broadcaster quoted the unnamed officials as saying.

The Pentagon officials stressed that the U.S. is not preparing the ground for a military intervention, but is simply collecting evidence of President Bashar Assad’s crackdown on protesters.

There was no official comment from Syria on the report. (more…)

Anybody but Obama, pweeeeeeeease !

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

(Fox NewsWire) Sheriff Paul Babeu, a prominent Arizona sheriff and congressional candidate, left his post in Mitt Romney’s Republican presidential campaign Saturday as he battled allegations that he tried to intimidate a male ex-lover.

Babeu confirmed in a press conference Saturday that he is gay, after the story of the relationship was published Thursday in an alternative weekly newspaper. The Pinal County Sheriff, though, adamantly denied claims Saturday that he tried to threaten the man, a Mexican immigrant and a former campaign volunteer, with deportation if their past relationship was made public.

Babeu, who rose to prominence for his strong positions against illegal immigration, vowed to continue his campaign in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District seat. (more…)
