14But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14 KJV
As I was reading this story the Bible verse quoted above kept going through my head.

One has to wonder just how much publicity this will receive:
The Case Management Conference hearing in Paul v Clinton et al on February 21, in Los Angeles Superior Court will finally set a trial date in the long delayed civil fraud case and it will set a schedule for discovery that will include the sworn [...]

Via Eyeblast:

Instead of benefiting themselves or their campaign, would it be to much to ask that the candidates do what benefits America?
Funny isn’t it, how one sentence says more than all the fancy speeches we hear on the trail?

A bit of fun on Presidents Day.

“There’s No Separation, we’re one nation under Him“

The Anchoress linked to an article in one of her round-ups which offers thoughts on motherhood from a perspective unlike the typical associations.
For example, the mother who stays home with small children experiences a very real withdrawal from the world. Her existence is definitely monastic. Her tasks and preoccupations remove her from the centres of [...]

Let me start by offering thoughts and prayers to all those at NIU where the events of yesterday will alter forever the lives of many.
Another senseless tragedy and one which mimics far too many we have had to read or write about in the not so distant past.
Now I understand why sometimes it is so [...]

We all remember when Cynthia McKinney lost her congressional seat to another black woman. McKinney’s father came right out and said it was because of the J-E-W-S, Jooooos.
Now we have a congressional campaign in Tennessee where a Jewish man is the incumbent and the person running against him is an African American.
Take a look [...]

Before the immigration blow-up at Polipundit I loved to read Jayson Javitz, as he seems so well informed about politics and tells it the way it is.

Here’s the introduction:
First things first: If you would have told me six months ago — [...]

The earmarks secured by the two Democratic Senators running for the Presidency:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure more than $340 million worth of home-state projects in last year’s spending bills, placing her among the top 10 Senate recipients of what are commonly known as earmarks, according to a new study by a nonpartisan budget watchdog [...]

Maybe Hillary will pull out the Democratic nomination..I never count out a Clinton. It hasn’t looked good for her campaign recently. If it were me, I don’t know that I would have replaced one campaign manager with another that brings along memories of the past and the baggage both the Senator and former President carry:
Doyle [...]

Berkeley has not redeemed themselves but then neither has Congress.
From Senator DeMint:
February 13th, 2008 - Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement in response to the decision by the City Council of Berkeley, California not to apologize to the Marine Corps and their families and reaffirming their support for [...]

I write this letter as a former Democratic candidate for President of the United States and a civil rights leader who has fought his entire life for fairness and justice for all people regardless of the color of [...]

Imagine for a moment the press in this country covering WWII as they have the Iraq war.
Yep..Just imagine.

My posting this video is not meant in any way to imply that Democrats as a whole have driven the rhetoric in the media.
It is meant simply to show what may have been if leaks and negativity [...]

I have avoided writing on the situation in Berkeley and their attempts to expel Marine Recruiters from their community as I felt I could not write on the topic without my absolute abhorrence for their actions coming to the forefront.
That was until I saw this today:
(original City Council Meeting on this issue)

Those who would support [...]

The joke going around now is if we get government sponsored health care where will the Canadians go for medical treatment.
How would you like to be the patient or the patient’s family in this situation?
We know they are sending mothers to the US to give birth or sending the babies to the US after being [...]

It is virtually mathematically impossible for Mike Huckabee to get enough delegates to win the Republican nomination for president.
He wants to claim the title of conservative when his record shows he’s a tax and spend liberal.
Instead of getting out of the race as Mitt Romney did when he saw the writing on the wall, Huckabee [...]

The video is in English with subtitles in French. Give a listen to what this woman has to say about Islam.

Not much time for commentary today, but I did not want to go without sharing the following:
What is undeniable is that the single greatest threat the United States faces is that in four years, Iraq is abandoned, chaos and genocide take hold there, and the great expenditure of precious American blood and treasure there is [...]

Just a few things you might have missed this week amidst all the breaking political news:
President Bush attended his final National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday:
I believe in the power of prayer, because I have felt it in my own life. Prayer has strengthened me in times of personal challenge. It has helped me meet the [...]

And mine was no different. Today commemorates the nineteenth anniversary of the day she stepped out of time and into Heaven and eternity.
I thank God I was lucky enough to have had her for 41 years.
She taught me so much that I remember even now. Most of all she taught me how to [...]

I know people hate to follow links but I couldn’t find this version in YouTube so I’m giving you the link to a cute and all-too-true song.
Click the link. You’ll smile after you see it.

The following is a portion of the text from the Senator’s remarks earlier today.
I know I have a responsibility, if I am, as I hope to be, the Republican nominee for President, to unite the party and prepare for the great contest in November. And I am acutely aware that I cannot succeed in that [...]

*Update: It’s official. Romney has dropped out. Here is the text of the speech which included his withdrawal from the race.
