    Piper and Trig Palin's Hallowe'en Costumes (Pictures)

    | October 31, 2008

    You can hear what Sarah Palin really has to say is when she is live on Fox News. I enjoyed her speech a few minutes ago in Pennsylvania. We don’t often get to see her introducing her family.

    Piper and Trig were wearing Hallowe’en costumes. Sarah said Piper could hardly wait to dress as a Snow Princess, and you could tell how pleased Piper was to be wearing the pretty white costume. As usual, she stood there as good as gold during the speech, enjoying every minute.

    Trig was a cute little elephant. You could see him sucking his thumb while in Willow’s arms during Sarah’s speech.

    I love the fact that the Palin family is one that STAYS together, unlike the Obama family. Michelle Obama is proud to say she CALLS her girls on the phone every night.

    Here are some new photos of the Palins.

    Pope Benedict: Canada, Freedom, Culture of Life

    | October 31, 2008

    Pope To Canada: “I Know it is Possible” For You to Turn to a Culture of Life and Respect Natural Marriage
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/oct/08103003.html

    “Today Pope Benedict XVI addressed Canadians as he greeted the new Canadian Ambassador to the Holy See, Anne Leahy.”

    “In his address, the Holy Father noted his concern for Canada’s growing lack of respect for life and family, despite the fact that Canadian culture has Catholicism as one of its cornerstones and has been recognized as a champion of human rights and dignity.”

    “‘Nevertheless, profound changes can be noticed today, which are seen in different sectors and at times cause concern to the point of asking ourselves if it does not mean a regression in the understanding of the human being,’ he said. ‘These changes mainly concern the areas of defense and the promotion of life and the family based on natural marriage.’”

    “‘In this context,’ said the Pope, ‘I would like to encourage all Canadians to reflect deeply on the path that Christ calls us to follow.’ That path, he said “is bright and full of truth.’ Speaking of turning to a culture of life, Benedict XVI said, ‘I know it is possible and that your country is capable.’ He said, ‘A culture of life can nourish anew the personal and social existence of Canada as a whole.‘”

    “‘To help,’ said the Holy Father, ‘it seems necessary to redefine the meaning of freedom of expression too often invoked to justify certain excesses.’ He noted that freedom is often wrongly perceived as an absolute value, disregarding its divine origin and its communal dimension. In such an interpretation of freedom, he suggested, ‘only the individual can decide and choose the form, characteristics, and ends of life, death, and marriage.’”

    ‘True freedom,” he observed, “is ultimately based on and develops in God.” He added: “It is a gift that can be accepted as the seed from which the person and society can grow responsibly and be enriched. The exercise of this freedom implies reference to a natural moral law that is universal, which precedes and unifies all rights and duties. In this perspective, I would like to show my support to all the Canadian Bishops’ initiatives in favor of family life and thus of the dignity of the human being.”

    Planned Parenthood Admits They Practice Infanticide

    | October 30, 2008

    I started bringing graphic abortion pictures to my public school when I was in grade eight (1983/84). As you can imagine, my class became very pro-life. I clearly recall some very interesting discussions with pro-abortion teachers, as well as uneducated-on-abortion teachers. I remember explaining infanticide to teachers who did not believe it existed.

    It is very sad that so many years later, abortion is still routinely performed, and some babies are killed following failed abortions, and some babies are left in utility rooms with “Do Not Feed” signs. 

    It is disturbing that the United States is considering electing a president who believes in infanticide.

    And it it is shocking that Christians believe the liberal campaign slogan of “safe, legal, and rare” when in fact Obama says, “The FIRST thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act”.

    Hallowe'en Memory

    | October 30, 2008

    When we go trick-or-treating, we almost always come across a flaming roadblock on the drive home, sometimes forcing us to take a detour. Here is N in front of one of those roadblocks in 2002. We thought he looked like Harry Potter.
