(Reflections Blog) In 2010 many folks, including me, hope to see Ron Miller replace Mike Miller in the Maryland State Senate. Ron is an exceptional human being, husband, father, veteran, and member of the Southern Maryland community. Ron shares my concern that government works hard to play down our Judeo-Christian history, values, and faith. In his latest blog article, Ron shares his view on Maryland’s  War Against Prayer:

“An engineer friend of mine had a saying that “one point in time does not a trend make.” When it comes to one issue in the state of Maryland, however, I believe we have enough events, all within the span of a few weeks, to declare a trend; the act of prayer is officially under siege in Maryland.”

NotreDameScandal.com advised us today that Saint Joseph’s University plans Honor pro-abortion TV host Chris Matthews at Commencement http://tinyurl.com/dxucz8 on May 16, 2009.

Read this article published Monday, April 6, 2009 at the Cardinal Newman Society website. The university plans to give Matthews an honorary doctorate in communications. (In my personal opinion – Bill O’Reilly would have been a much better choice.)

Reflections Blog – I read with more than a little amusement about Senator Mike Miller’s frustration concerning a pastor who had the nerve to close his opening prayer in the Senate chamber on March 25 by invoking the name of Jesus. Herewith the rant that ensued:

“Miller (D-Calvert) asked that Lehman’s remarks not be journalized, that is, saved for posterity. Then, sounding annoyed, he asked the secretary of the Senate, ‘Do we see these things ahead of time? Do we?’”

Visit the Reflections Blog of candidate Ron Miller ® Huntingtown to learn more about incumbent Mike Miller’s rather revealing derision of our Savior. I for one am tired of hearing my faith blasphemed by politicians who don’t have a higher power other than themselves. Ron Miller respects and will represent everyone regardless of their expression of faith. Ron is someone I respect and trust and I hope you will too come election time in 2010.

Twitter user CNSCampusNotes reports that as of 0845 AM March 26, 2009, 157.901 people have signed the protest petition to the college president at Notre Dame University.

Some Catholics are outraged at the new President’s position on certain faith-related issues. They do not want the President honored with an honorary doctorate degree because of it. A website called http://www.notredamescandal.com/ exists so concerned Catholics can sign an on-line petition requesting that the college not follow through.

(Yahoo News via DIGG) “The Vatican said Friday that the apology issued by an ultraconservative bishop who denied the Holocaust was not good enough to admit him into the Catholic Church as a clergyman.”

Germany May Issue Arrest Warrant for Holocaust-Denying Bishop

(Ed note: There is still evil in this world. This anti-Semitic “clergyman” and Holocaust Denier may be the world’s best example of evil at the moment. I have been to Dachau for the tour and like most people paid close attention to history. At Dachau there are memorials to slain Catholics as well as Jews. Our Jewish brothers suffered horrifically over the rest. The Holocaust happened and we shall never forget that it did. The Christian faith is deeply rooted in Judaism and I for one am proud of those roots. People perpetuating hate need to be kept in their place. He has no business as a priest in ANY church and I test my faith when I think about praying for him to see the darkness in his views.)
