Changed title to: Liberal policies defy our founding principles
One of the main reasons we kept the Electoral college that still matters is to give extremely small states some say in the election. Today if we were to go by the popular vote the 12 to 15 most populated states could dominate any national election. That’s one third of the States could rule the country. Continue reading
VATICAN CITY: A papal commission on the role of female deacons met for the first time Friday in a move reformers hope could open the door to women eventually entering the Catholic clergy.
As things stand only men can serve as priests or as deacons. The latter are church officers who are authorised to give sermons and preside over baptisms, marriages and funerals but not to hear confessions or give communion, tasks which remain the preserve of ordained priests. MORE
Back in May, we obsessed over the D.C. mansion where the Obamas will move after they leave the white house, and now it sounds like the family plans to be bicoastal. The New York Post reports that the President has purchased a second home in Rancho Mirage, just outside of Palm Springs. MORE

Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading “I WILL KILL” MORE
