A Tax is a Tax
A Petulant President
Today the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Arizona law enforcement has the right to check the immigration status of persons under arrest for other crimes. It is important to note that no one of any culture or race can simply be stopped and asked to “show their papers.” In fact, the Court struck down much of the Arizona law, but the retention of this one provision has provoked a series of responses that reveal the true colors of our petulant, power-hungry despot-in-chief. Within minutes of the Court’s ruling, the Administration declared that they would no longer cooperate with Arizona in any matter pertaining to this law. Obama’s minions went further and set up a hot line for folks who feel mistreated by this law.
Encountering Immortals
Everyday we encounter immortals. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, every person we meet is on a trajectory to everlasting glory or eternal shame. They will either dazzle with dignity or repulse with reprobation. We are (mercifully) not the judge of anyone’s destiny and we are called upon to offer hope for the best eternal and and temporal life possible as each person decides which path to pursue.
