Peter Suderman has another provocative essay at Culture 11 bearing the above title, with the more interesting (and in the case of his actual essay, accurate) subtitle, “Why we care too much about politics”, in which he echoes some themes found in Ryan’s previous post on slippery slopes.
Knights of Columbus: “Remember FOCA on November 4th”
Sunday, November 2, 2008 \PM\.\Sun\.The Knights of Columbus remind us that among the most important issues at stake Nov. 4 is FOCA [“Freedom of Choice Act”]:
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops declared recently:
“Abortion rights groups and their allies in Congress are promoting a radical bill called the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). If this extreme measure is enacted, widely-supported and constitutionally-sound abortion regulations will be knocked down nationwide.”
Obama to Coal States: Drop Dead!
Sunday, November 2, 2008 \PM\.\Sun\.Obama doesn’t believe we should use coal to generate power.
“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”
I guess under an Obama administration coal miners, bitterly clinging to their God and their guns, can go on welfare.
An Obama Promise You Can Believe
Sunday, November 2, 2008 \PM\.\Sun\.Think the rates that you are paying currently for electricity are too high? If Obama is elected you will feel nostalgic for these rates. That is not a prediction by me. That is a promise from Senator Obama.
