Well, we finally did it. Tonight I have installed High-Speed Internet at home. You'd think that with me being a computer geek since 1990, it wouldn't have taken so long to join the bandwagon. But, here we are... WOOT! Feel the POWER!
If you've ever read THIS blog, then you may be wondering WHERE I've been... Well, I get distracted sometimes... Other times it's just life... But right now, when I blog, it is through my blogspot which is tied to my google account. You can see three different blogs. CihaBlog -- > My original blog with blogspot which I've changed for my political soapbox. CihaFun --> What the name implies. Light hearted stuff. Jokes, cute pictures, etc... CihaFaith --> Also what the name implies. Stuff about God and Christianity.
My wife has STARTED a blog (CihaClan) where she hopefully will (restart) keep family and friends up to date on our family life happenings.
One of the Man from Hope’s consistently amazing lines is that the press doesn’t offer the Clintons enough credit for all their good works. The latest example came on the trail in Keene, New Hampshire, where the Associated Press found him whining about how the press hasn’t underlined the vast chasm in experience between his wife and Barack Obama. "Bill Clinton said Tuesday that if reporters covered the candidates' public records better, his wife's presidential bid would be far ahead of her rivals," reported AP.
Clinton obviously believes his presidency was a Golden Era, a time when peace and prosperity graced America. The Clintons want the press to replay a sort of glowing Harry and Linda Thomason propaganda movie about The Way They Were, with a soundtrack by Barbra Streisand.
Oh, baloney. The last thing Bill or his wife want is... Click link below for full article. http://tinyurl.com/2gg9oa

1. Some of us are anti-abortion, but pro-death penalty, and we are not pacifists. Calling ourselves "pro-life" allows our opponents to taunt us with what they pretend is a hypocritical inconsistency. (They had this smug retort handed to them, let's remember, by the late and unlamented Cardinal Bernardin with his "Seamless Garment" theory.) We cannot, they say, be against abortion while supporting the execution of killers, or the waging of wars. But we can, because we see the difference between an unborn child and a serial killer. And we can, because there are distinctions between just wars and wars of aggression, and we believe some things are worse than death. So does the abortion crowd; they just pretend that there are no such distinctions.
2. "Pro-life" does not capture the evil, the unspeakable ugliness, of what we oppose. "Pro-life" became tepid and meek for me the day I read descriptions of saline abortions and of partial-birth abortions. Anyone interested can find these descriptions on the Internet. By styling ourselves "Pro-life", we throw away the opportunity to remind others of what abortion really, truly is.
3. Calling ourselves "Pro-life" allows the baby killers to choose the terms of the debate, which Mr. Galloy's article rightly deplores. Abortionists and their supporters, remember, wrap themselves in a mantle of sanctimony, claiming that they are not "pro-abortion", merely "pro-choice". Some of them even claim, with a straight face, that they, too, are "pro-life", in the sense of wanting every woman to have a meaningful, rewarding life, a life that will be lost if she has to carry a "fetus" to term.
