Huckabee wins in Kansas; captures all 36 delegates

Today, I spent most of the morning at the Republican caucus. The time spent there was well - worth it, as the results were quite favorable for pro-life, pro-family candidate, Mike Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee crushed John McCain in Kansas, capturing all thirty-six of the delegates to the Republican National Convention from Kansas. He won in spite of the fact that both of the state's popular Republican Senators have endorsed Senator John McCain.

At the Republican Caucus, I thought it was quite interesting that during and after each presidential candidate's representative gave their speech on why their candidate was best suited for office, there was cheering, whistling, sign waving, and applause, for all, with the exception of John McCain. The audience was completely silent throughout the presentation on McCain and, at the end, there was only a polite applause and I think that was mainly because people were glad the talk was over. The silence was almost embarassing and McCain's speaker appeared uncomfortable with the audience's lack of response.

The majority of the Republicans in Kansas are conservatives who hold strong pro-life, pro-family values. When someone says he's pro-life but isn't 100% pro-life they recognize that fact immediately. They can identify a wolf in sheep's clothing. Huckabee is the only candidate who has been endorsed by the pro-life groups because he is the only candidate who is 100% pro-life, pro-family. Ron Paul comes close, but doesn't quite live up to Huckabee's record as I have shown in previous posts. Many people are also uncomfortable with Ron Paul's position on the war in Iraq.

As Republicans, we don't have to settle for anything less than the real thing. As pro-lifers, we don't have to accept second best. As intelligent, pro-active Christian citizens, we believe and trust in God to select the next leader of our country, and not the far left liberal media.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the...

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the...

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as h...
