Fortnight for 'Pro-Life' Freedom

When National Organization of Marriage, NOM Chairman John Eastman was threatened by Congressman Earl Blumenauer that NOM’s tax exempt status should be revoked because of their defense of Traditional Marriage, Prof. Eastman came back with this money quote:

"Representative Blumenauer, it's your kind of statements that have empowered IRS agents to make determinations about which organizations qualify for the public good and which do not. The notion that defending traditional marriage doesn't qualify as a defense of the public good is beyond preposterous."

Later with Neal Cavuto of Fox Business News, Eastman expounded, "We've got people in government and their allies outside of government that are willing to commit felonies to shut down their political opposition on major contested issues of the day…"

Jun 25 Tue – Special election to replace Massachusetts U.S. Senator John Kerry. Democrat ‘Dirty’ Ed Markey versus ‘new’ Republican Gabriel Gomez who is not Pro-Life but Markey is trying to portray as being ‘personally Pro-Life’. What a choice! [see comments]

Just because our government is embroiled in IRS political intimidation scandal, a newspaper source political intimidation scandal, and a Prism meta-data of every phone call political intimidation scandal, that all this would prevent HHS Secretary Katherine Sibellius having the IRS enforce the denial of Religious Liberty at Catholic hospitals and Universities scheduled for Aug. 1.

Good Movie: ‘The Ninth Day’, Volker Schlöndorff’s The Ninth Day, a fictionalized account of AbbĂ© [Father] Bernard’s Dachau experiences , depicts these horrors with stark objectivity and restraint… the "priest block" at Dachau has been called the largest religious community in the world, having held up to 3,000 Catholic priests, deacons, bishops, and religious, plus about 100 Protestant pastors and 30 Orthodox clergy. About a thousand died there. - Stephen Graydanus

Good Movie: ‘Breaking Dawn – part 1’ Live Action’s The Advocate asks if this Twilight series feature “might be one of the most pro-life movies out of Hollywood in the past few years?” Live Action is the Lila Rose group that exposes Planned Parenthood for the cold and calculating profit makers that they are.

Good Movie: ‘The Dish ‘ - In 1969, when the world watched as man went the moon, America needed help from Australia to see it. After all, if you stop and think about it, half the time the Apollo XI was on the other side of the world from Houston (or rather, since it was the world that was turning, Houston was on the other side of the world from the Apollo XI). At the time Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s moon walk was scheduled, Australia had front-row seats.

Today, more than thirty years later, the Aussies are coming to our aid again: In a movie season when it seems Hollywood only knows how to make gross-out sex comedies, here is The Dish, a weightlessly charming, loosely fact-inspired ensemble comedy about a little Australian town with a huge radio telescope, and how it had a big day in the sun when man walked on the moon…– Stephen D. Greydanus
