Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Obama looking to blame someone for church killings? Look in the mirror ~ Carmine Sabia makes the case that it’s exactly the strict gun control measures the president is advocating that result in more violence – not to mention his divisive race-baiting rhetoric ~

What’s even more insane is that for the entirety of this administration, Obama and his race hustlers have told Americans, particularly minorities, that they cannot trust the police. Now, they want to sell them on the idea that the only people that can be trusted with guns are the police.

 
And by the way ~

A Rasmussen poll released on June 12 shows that only one out of five Americans want to live in a place where they can’t be armed ~ So stop trying to repeal our right to self-protection!

 
Blue State Blues: Millennials Learn–Sharing is Caring, Taxing is Taking ~ Is the younger generation slowly waking up to the reality that Big Government is not their benevolent friend and provider?
 

Conjugality ~ An excellent new blog defends traditional marriage against the relentless assault by the secular Left. Recent articles include …
Hotel Homosexuality: yes, you can check out, and leave, A polyphobic reflection (the next brave new marriage option) and The 14th Amendment is no mandate for same-sex marriage

 
Pope Francis’s Vow of Poverty — for All ~

Like other environmental activists, the pope — who might now be considered the world’s leading green — is using global warming to prosecute a deeply ecological, anti-capitalist agenda. Designed to influence the outcome of the Paris climate talks in December, the Pope’s message would have been the same even if alarmist scientists had not misinformed him that the planet had been warming in recent decades, when there has been little or no warming for nearly two decades.

 
Maybe the pope should check this out ~
Green Policies Kill Military Readiness and Vets ~ The Obama administration is wasting millions, and inflicting massive collateral damage, fighting an imaginary enemy named Climate Change.
 

Shocking Report Shows Thousands of Patients Being Euthanized By Doctors Without Consent ~ (Belgium) Post-Christian culture no longer believes in the value and dignity of each individual human life ~

“The Belgian population should be aware of the present situation and know that if their lives may come to the point where physicians think they are not worth living, in the absence of specific living wills advising physicians what to do then, they might be put to death.” […]
 
“The Belgian Socialist government is adamant that the euthanasia law needs to extend to minors and people with dementia even though there are significant examples of how the current law is being abused and the bracket creep of acceptable reasons for euthanasia continues to grow. The current practice of euthanasia in Belgium appears to have become an easy way to cover-up medical errors.”

Affirmative Action Applied to Air Traffic Controllers ~ Seriously? What’s next? Affirmative action brain surgeons? But then again, why not? We already have an affirmative action president.

 
The Show Me the Money State ~ Corrupto-crat; Missouri’s Democrat governor received $50K from UAW after vetoing right to work. Never mind what’s demonstrably best for the state’s economy ~

“Today’s veto puts the governor squarely on the side of forced unionism, and against employee free choice. Flanked by union bosses, Gov. Nixon ignored and rejected the will of an overwhelming majority of Missouri citizens who favor Right to Work.” (National Right to Work’s Mark Mix)
