Nancy Pelosi Denied Communion by the Catholic Archbishop.

Rod, I guess some people don't consider the killing of the unborn a political matter.

If a person owns a dog that has a litter of puppies and they don't wish to bother with them, sell them, or give them away, do you have a problem with taking a 22 pistol and killing each of the puppies with a bullet in the head?

Then again I can only surmise their position by their cheers when NY State opted to permit abortion up until the very last second before delivery.  

P.S. And don't let them fool you, they care much more about dog puppies than they do human babies.  wink
I suspect that they view an unborn human being in much the same way as an unborn dog, or perhaps aborting a dog as something worse since the mother dog doesn't consent to the procedure. tongueouty:

Thoughts of Victor David Hanson: Demise of Democrats

Posted By Darian Rachal

This popped up on YouTube this evening. It's dated March 31st. Hanson's ideas are interesting and I think a reason to be somewhat optimistic.

Greg said it once here that VDH is a national treasure.

The man and those like him such as Thomas Sowell are definitely that and more.  We need more of them.  

I don't know if you're a member of Hillsdale College's free online courses, but VDH has many of them.  

I watched the one based upon his book The Second World Wars there.  They are all free to anyone who wants to learn.  

I have his new book on order called "The Dying Citizen" and its gotten impeccable reviews so far by other scholars.

https://online.hillsdale.edu/courses/american-citizenship-and-its-decline

Its about the very subject in the video above, and he gives an 8 lecture course on it at Hillsdale.  

I just signed up for it and will be watching it today.  

He's a great scholar.  
Richard, thanks for this information.

Jim, I'd say it's more likely the nonchalant attitude about killing the unborn.

Jim, if the date means anything to you, the circumstances of your life are vastly dissimilar to mine.

It turns out there was NO school resource officer on the scene inside the school, so the killer wasn't confronted.

A tired old saying but none the less still a fact. Guns do not kill outside of accidents, people do. People with a predilection for killing other people will simply find another way if they cant get a gun.....
Greg, some people seem to have difficulty accepting this fact.

People that have no respect for human life and for some reason decide they need to kill a large number of people, will devise a way to do so. I think you are looking at the situation a bit too emotionally.

Greg, I haven't read much about the shooter, but I wonder about his rationale for what he did. In his mind, there was a purpose for killing all these children, as horrible as that sounds. Perhaps he was under the influence of marijuana or something else. My guess is that this was not done out of anger; he likely was very unemotional as he was killing these people. Of course, I'm just speculating.

I simply hope that while he lay dying, he realized was a horrible thing he'd done and regretted his actions.
