Spiritual Matters
Dianny, Patriot Retort Mon 2015-Jun-29 11:30pm
This morning in church, I was thinking about my column “The Rage of the Left” that I posted this morning. And I began to think of how I used to be. If you’ve read the About Dianny page here at Patriot Retort, you know that I was once a raging, screaming Leftist. I was lost in that blinding darkness of anger and hatred.
And now I’m not.
As I sat in church this morning, I considered how my life has gone from darkness to light. This is the Light from God. …

…So the Supreme Court decided that it could wave its hand and redefine marriage. Beyond the horrific precedent this sets, this is so flawed on its own (lack of) merits, that I find myself stunned in spite of the fact this is the exact outcome I was expecting. All over my FB timeline and in my personal life people I thought were sane are celebrating as though Christmas came early. I can’t call them “F*cking Idiots” to their faces, but perhaps I can explain, here, why this is so bad.…
Modern Family Life
Paul Bois, Truth Revolt Mon 2015-Jun-29 10:50pm
On Thursday, Kansas District Court Judge Larry Hendricks blocked a Kansas law that that would have banned all dismemberment abortions, ruling that the law presented too big an obstacle for women looking to kill their children.
The law, which would have taken effect on July 1, was the first of its kind by banning an abortion procedure used in approximately 95 percent of all second-trimester abortions nationwide. Opponents to the law argued that it would force women to undergo riskier procedures.…
