I wish it was true, but there is no way anyone can admit to being ‘surprised’ by Boehner’s ‘sell out’ of the cause to the Demovamps, and especially of the babies. This is what these guys do, because it’s what they have always done: ‘compromised’. The sad truth is, the Demovamps do not compromise, and they go after their agenda with great gusto. Boehner has had a history of this, and only those willing to drink the koolaid would really believe this guy would follow through with shutting down the government over PP.
Boehner hid behind the excuse ‘we are going to cut trillions, not billions’ in the next round of the fight. Well Speaker Boehner, you hold the purse strings and you are the Speaker. You didn’t get the job done as you promised, so your future promises will require more gonads of you than defunding PP and you know this will not happen. You know it, we know it, and you know we know it. I will not be surprised at all when you ‘fail’ at your promise to cut the budget that drastically. I may even be able to quote verbatim what your excuse(s) will be, and I can guarantee you will run on a platform of ‘success’ when in fact, you failed miserably.
I am more ticked off at the soft headed ‘pro life movement’ that put their faith in these bozos. They prematurely claimed ‘victory’ when legislation was proffered to defund pp. Due to the fact the new management of this ‘movement’ doesn’t know how to fight to win, it is not at all surprising they were duped by the likes of Boehner, and will readily accept his excuses and believe him when he fails at his supposed efforts at reigning in the budget, and putting an end to the evil crime syndicate known as planned parenthood. Boehner and the management of the pro life movement are peas in a pod: both talk a good game, but show little fruits when it comes to the real work.
It is so sad that these matters are predictable. It is so sad that there is so little character in both politics and matters of faith and that evil is proliferating so easily now. Even a person of modest faith is now seen as an extremist and fanatic, and so few are willing to put anything on the line. Truly, what is there left to save of this country? It is unrecognizeable from what it used to be just 30 years ago. Keeping one’s word means nothing anymore and when one’s word is no good, nothing else is good, as keeping one’s word is at the core of reality and is essential in keeping order. Lies can never be truth and lies are as shifting sands, in which nothing of lasting value can be built upon.
What we need at this hour in our nation are those with vision and the gonads to pursue this vision. This vision must include the protection of the most vulnerable and the ability and desire to follow through with this protection, no matter what the cost. We do not have this now, and it is not looking very good for it to occur anytime in the near or far future. But the management of the pro life movement better figure out it definitely is not Boehner or any of his other sell out ilk that will soon try to convince us we won when we got creamed. Cry for the babies.

BACK FROM BELGIUM (AND SICK AGAIN)
George Offerman
My in laws treated my wife and me with a trip to Belgium to celebrate my half century on this rock. It was quite the celebration as we spent a good part of the trip with a beer touring group sponsored by Ale Street News. We got to see many of the famous Trappist breweries, and managed to get a personal tour of various pubs by the current owners of Duval while in Brussels. Unfortunately for me though, a European version of a super bug decided to pay a visit and it is ‘here we go again’ with being sick. All in all, it was a great time and hope it happens again.
I have many different thoughts on turning 50, realizing I have lived more days than I have left. This is not such a disturbing thought as it was 25 years ago, but I don’t want that inevitable day to be visiting any time soon, God willing. As well, the idea of this post is not to dwell on such a milestone, but to mention why I have not posted in 2 weeks.
As usual, it seems when one gets away from the day to day happenings in the world, it seems like much happens and one can have the feeling of being ‘left behind’ if not ‘keeping up’. Of all the news that occurred, the least surprising of all is on the pro life front, where the Republicants did their ‘bait and switch’ routine that should come to absolutely no surprise to those with a body temperature and a pulse. Seriously, is there such a thing anymore as a ‘statesman’ in politics? Can anyone seriously claim they are fooled by the measures taken by Boehner and company?
Anyone in the pro life movement who believes these bands of fools would have been better off on the tour bus going to the different breweries, where at least the ‘medicine’ would have tasted better, and would have left one feeling warm and contented after indulging in it. I have to say that my time in Belgium was much better utilized than the beating of the drum reminding the inept pro life movement that proffered legislation is not victory, and that the Republicants will blink if they think for one nanosecond they will be blamed for a government shutdown if they actually stand up for the unborn.
These politicians have no fear of us. We never hold them accountable, and will send them money, allow them to speak in our churches, will campaign for them, and especially buy into their BS that they actually are making a difference, when in fact, they are the true enemies of our cause. Until we know how to fight this battle effectively, these politicians will side with the enemy and simply tell us what we want to hear, then do as they please, as they have for the past 38 years.
Shame on Boehner and company for lying to us. Shame on us for believing this troupe of clowns to begin with.
On another note, let us keep the people of Japan in our prayers as they deal with what truly is a catastrophe of Biblical proportions.

PRO-LIFE SIT IN AT SPEAKER BOEHNER'S OFFICE
Randall Terry
Pro-Life “Sit-in” at Speaker Boehner’s Office:
Will Republicans Really Defund Planned Parenthood –
This “Criminal Syndicate?”
Even as I write, six courageous pro-life advocates – Ed Faddoul, Joan McKee, Gary Boislcair, Andrew Beacham, David Lewis, and Alan Mercado – are being released from jail for staging a peaceful “sit-in” outside House Speaker John Boehner’s office at noon on Wednesday, Feb 23. God bless them for bringing national press coverage – by virtue of their sacrificial actions – to this life and death debate.
Before the sit-in, Mr. Boehner’s Communications Director met with us outside Boehner’s office, with over a dozen members of the press recording the moment. (See video of press conference below.)
We told him – in the clearest terms possible – that Mr. Boehner could be a hero if he follows through with defunding Planned Parenthood when the Continuing Resolution reaches the conference committee. We also told Speaker Boehner’s representative that if Mr. Boehner fails to defund Planned Parenthood – far from being a hero – he would be collaborating with those who commit sexual crimes against minors.
(For any who do not know the process, the House vote last week to defund Planned Parenthood does not insure Planned Parenthood will actually lose funding. The Senate must also vote to do so, or when a conference committee is convened that hammers out the “final bill,” that “final bill” must also prohibit funding for Planned Parenthood. The final bill will then be voted on again by the full House and Senate.)
Where Do We Go From Here to Defund Planned Parenthood?
I urge my fellow pro-life leaders, heads of ministries, and individual pro-lifers to take decisive actions to bring victory at this criminal moment. I submit the following immediate steps that can be taken to defund Planned Parenthood:
1) Contact Speaker Boehner’s office at 202-224-3121, and politely insist that he only appoint House Members to the Conference Committee that will keep funding for Planned Parenthood out of the final Continuing Resolution.
2) Call your House Member at 202-224-3121, and insist that Planned Parenthood be defunded in the conference committee.
3) Wherever you live, you have a local office for your House Member. When you call the receptionist of your Member in DC, ask for the address of your member’s local office. Then, go in person to the office, and politely insist (of whatever staffer you talk to) that the Member makes sure that Planned Parenthood funding is not restored in the conference committee. Remember, they work for you.
4) Tell your Member that if funding is restored in the conference committee, you insist he vote against the Continuing Resolution when it comes back to the House for a final vote (after the conference committee’s failure).
5) Hold a peaceful demonstration and press conference in front of your House Member’s and/or Senators’ office(s) in your area. This is a VERY BIG issue right now; if you hold a demonstration – even with 3 or 4 people – you will likely get a lot of media coverage, and reach multitudes with your message. If you have never done this before (and are a little nervous!), go to www.TerryCast.com and click on “Press Instructions.” The instructions are comprehensive, and free for all to use.
6) If you would like to write and fax a personal letter from you to every House Freshman, or to all Republicans, or even just to Speaker Boehner and the House leaders, go to www.OverturnRoe.com. It is very fast, and very inexpensive. And again, this is a personal letter from you, that will be faxed immediately to all House or Senate members you select.
Is Planned Parenthood a “Criminal Syndicate?”
Given the facts, it is arguable that Planned Parenthood is a criminal syndicate. Besides being the nations largest killer of unborn babies – which is by far their worst crime (they slaughtered over 300,000 babies last year – I believe they are in a criminal conspiracy to cover up sexual crimes committed against minors. Let me make my case.
Every time a pregnant minor girl walks into a Planned Parenthood, that child is the victim of a sexual offense. She is a living, breathing crime scene. She is either the victim of statutory rape, or worse.
By law, Planned Parenthood is required to tell police authorities of these crimes. But, as has been proven over and over again - by the courageous undercover work of Lila Rose, Mark Crutcher and others - Planned Parenthood refuses to obey the law. They are knowingly aiding and abetting sexual crimes against minors. At that point, they become an “accessory after the fact.”
Think about it: if you or I learned (after the crime was committed) that someone had committed a murder, or a robbery, or a rape – and then we knowingly helped cover it up – we would be “accessories after the fact.” We would literally be committing a crime, punishable in a criminal court of law.
Every time Planned Parenthood helps a child molester, or a pimp, or an adult male man having sex with a minor cover their crimes by killing the baby – and does not contact the police – they have become accessories after the fact.
In that light, I have a rhetorical suggestion to make to all my fellow pro-life leaders and activists; from henceforth until the day that Planned Parenthood is closed down for good – and many of its employees are tried for conspiring to protect sexual crimes – we should refer to them as a “criminal syndicate.”
Such a declaration is the truth; and politically, it puts people like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the position of having to explain their support (financially and ethically) for an organization that kills over 300,000 babies a year by abortion, and by the tens of thousands of times per year, is knowingly covering up crimes. To support Planned Parenthood – knowing the evidence of the murderous and illegal deeds of Planned Parenthood – shows a corruption of mind and deed that is unfathomable. It is our duty to create the debate on these terms.
In closing, I beg you – in the presence of God, the Church triumphant, and in the presence of the millions of babies’ souls that have been dispatched by an abortionists’ knife at a Planned Parenthood killing center – do EVERYTHING in your power to bring victory in this critical battle. Lift up your voice to Speaker Boehner, the Republican House, and your Representative, and demand that Planned Parenthood – this “criminal syndicate” – is fully defunded once and for all. Once that is accomplished, can talk about special House investigative hearings, and prosecutions.
