Partial Birth Abortion Is Murder

And I am so glad the Supreme Court upheld it’s ban.

The Violet Burning Tear It Up In Ames

Last night I had the distinct privilege of watching The Violet Burning play at a very small venue in Ames.

From their Web site:

This is a profound realization for a man who spends a majority of his time playing “contemporary” “Chrisitian” “praise and worship” “music”.

Metallica, Face to Face, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Foo Fighters, Rage Against […]
