Pro Life Oklahoma 2015: Rose Day

Last updated on: February 6, 2015 at 8:02 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Wednesday of this week was Rose Day at the Oklahoma State Capitol. It was a clear, cold day and every parking space, everywhere, was taken. The capitol was full to the brim with pro life people, carrying roses to give to their state legislators. I hugged a lot of people I hadn’t seen for several months and then found a seat at the back of the House Chamber for the program. Pro life people filled every seat in the chamber,... Read more

Tulsa March for Life 2015. Oklahoma has two metropolitan areas: Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The state capitol is in Oklahoma City. Tulsa has an annual march for life which draws thousands of people each year. Oklahoma City has the annual Rose Day at the State Capitol. It was a blessing on my life that I was given the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at this year’s Tulsa March for Life. Anything I can do for the babies is a gift... Read more

ISIS Burns Jordanian Pilot Alive. Jordan Vows Revenge.

Last updated on: February 4, 2015 at 8:19 am By Rebecca Hamilton

24 Comments

In their race to the bottom of the human pile, ISIS murdered a captive Jordanian pilot by putting him in a cage and setting him on fire. I’ve decided to link to the video, primarily because I think that we need to know what ISIS is, and why they must be defeated absolutely. Anyone who joins ISIS or helps them should be hunted down and put in prison, even if it takes decades to get all of them. You can... Read more

Tomorrow is Rose Day at the Oklahoma State Capitol

Representative Gary Banz told me that when I left, he wanted my parking place. I understood that. My parking place was fantabulous; right next to the Gov’s parking place. That’s what happens when a Rep has more seniority than anybody else in the building. She gets whatever parking space she wants. Did Representative Banz get “my” parking space? I dunno. I haven’t been back to check. I’m going to the Oklahoma State Capitol building for the first time since my... Read more

Vatican Announces Day of Prayer Against Human Trafficking

Last updated on: February 3, 2015 at 10:14 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Public Catholic reader Ken gave me the link to this story. According to Crux, the Vatican has announced an International Day of Prayer and Recollection Against Human Trafficking on February 8. Slavery is on the rise, and a lot of people who think they oppose slavery are aiding and abetting it. I could write a series of posts on the ways in which those of us who oppose slavery with our words end up buying products made by slaves, hiring... Read more

Clickbait and the Boston Marathon Bomber Trial

Last updated on: February 3, 2015 at 9:19 am By Rebecca Hamilton

13 Comments

An odd story has begun to circle the web lately. It seems that prosecutors in the Boston Marathon bomber case are (gasp!) asking qualifying questions of prospective jurors. Among these questions are a query as to whether or not said prospective juror would, if the evidence warrants it, find for the death penalty. Now, if someone asked me that question, I would say, No, I will not find for the death penalty. At that point, the prosecutor would reject me... Read more

Pope Francis: Without Fathers Young People Feel Orphaned

Last updated on: January 31, 2015 at 10:03 am By Rebecca Hamilton

We have a nation of children who feel orphaned because their fathers are not in their lives. Fatherhood requires something that a lot of people in our society have grown up thinking is immoral: It requires self-sacrifice and putting someone else ahead of yourself. What it gives is something a lot of people in our society have been taught to think is worthless: Love and the incredible blessing of shielding and shepherding new life. Read more

300 Pakistani Muslims Attack Christian Boys School in Retaliation Against Charlie Hebdo

Last updated on: January 31, 2015 at 9:55 am By Rebecca Hamilton

5 Comments

Now this makes sense. A publication in France published a cartoon that at least some Muslims find offensive. So, 300 Muslims in Pakistan attack a Christian boys’ school, injuring a bunch of unarmed Christian students. Shouting idiotic slogans such as “We martyr for the prophet’s sanctity,” the mob attacked Panel High School in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. This attacks follows another, more deadly one in Niger, where Muslim mobs, also “protesting” Charlie Hebdo, burned down a number of churches and Christian... Read more
