I’m Going to Michigan to Speak for the Babies

Last updated on: May 26, 2015 at 9:33 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I have the privilege of speaking for the babies at Mother and Unborn Baby Care of Southeastern Michigan’s fundraising dinner this Thursday. People who volunteer at crisis pregnancy centers are pro life heroes. Helping them in their life-saving work is a blessing and a gift to me. If you’re in Southeastern Michigan, I’d love to meet you. Just be sure you bring your pen and checkbook so you can donate to Mother and Unborn Baby Care. $ for crisis pregnancy centers... Read more

Why Weren’t the Laws Concerning Minors Followed in the Duggar Case?

Last updated on: May 26, 2015 at 9:11 am By Rebecca Hamilton

55 Comments

I haven’t paid much attention to the case of Josh Duggar. I never watched the cable reality show that brought his family to fame. I am neither a fan nor a hater of this family. They just aren’t on my radar. When Josh Duggar’s juvenile records were revealed, my mind was elsewhere. I was vaguely aware that the situation surrounding Mr Duggar had developed into another round of the culture wars, but nothing more. Then, I realized that, based on what... Read more

My Dead Will Stay Undecorated.

It’s Memorial Day. Our big plan was to load Mama in the car and go on our annual cemetery safari, trotting around the state to put flowers on the graves of our dead family. We usually end up running into relatives we haven’t seen in a while for impromptu graveside reunions. We also enjoy the drive. But springtime plans in Oklahoma are always subject to the weather. This year, the weather says that smart Okies stay off the highways. Saturday night was... Read more

I know what you’re going to say, so let me say it for you. Fat chance. Democrats for Life of America has issued a press release calling for Hillary Clinton to bring back the big tent and open up the Democratic Party to pro life people. Now, for the response I know many of your are thinking: Fat Chance. I am aware, in ways that most of the rest of your can only guess at, just how entrenched the pro abortion... Read more

Fr Dwight Longenecker published a post today giving 12 of the reasons why he never argues with internet atheists. I’m not as smart as Fr Longenecker. I’ve been drawn into several arguments with internet atheists, both on this blog and a couple behind the scenes. Those experiences have convinced me that discussions with internet atheists are useless. I’ve give a few reasons why I think this down below. Here’s a sample of Fr Dwight’s thinking on the subject: 1. Most of... Read more

A year ago tomorrow, I cast my last vote … … and walked out of the Oklahoma legislature forever. I can honestly say that I have not missed getting up and going out there to do the people’s business in the year since. Not once. I have no nostalgia about the place, zero desire to go back out there and make those decisions, sit through those meetings, debates, wranglings and negotiations. I can also honestly say that, while I’m loving my... Read more

Senate Punts on Obama Trade Deals. The people Lose Again.

Last updated on: May 21, 2015 at 10:41 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The United States Senate once again abrogated its responsibilities in favor of letting the Prez do it. This, my friends, is how we got the imperial presidency. Congress accedes its responsibility because the vote is too “hot” or, as in this case, the corporatist interests want the deal that’s being done. The Senate gave up the right to amend the Prez’ trade deals and just let him, you know, Rule. Who’s the loser in all this? Why, you and me,... Read more
