May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Liberal or Conservative?

If a Conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.   

If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.   

If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.   

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.   

If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.   

If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A Liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.   

I also know that Liberals will deny they think this way, then pass legislation saying Liberals are really Conservative.

The Leftists' Model President, Hugo Chavez

Chavez is driving his country into the ground, closing media outlets that disagree with him, so now all media is State controlled. Most if not all businesses are nationalized, including US and other foreign companies, so they aren't turning a profit, in turn reducing receipts to the government. Because of that the government is broke and the people are impoverished even more than when he came to power. Still, Hollywood knuckleheads like Oliver Stone, Robert Redford, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Streisand, Danny Glover, Harry Belfonte, to name a few, plus several people in the Democrat Party and Obama Administration, just adore this character.

Update to Chavez's nuttiness. Chavez has a crush on Simon Bolivar and has changed the name of his country from Venezuela to Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. He's also redesigned the national flag.

Moving into the "disturbing" column, Chavez had Bolivar dug up on July 16th. He claims that he and Bolivar are one, that he's the reincarnation of the "Libertador" of Latin America. He has an empty chair in the Cabinet meeting room for the spirit of Bolivar.

It's no surprise then that Leftists identify with Chavez.

If Chavez and the Left knew anything about Simon Bolivar, they might not be so quick to jump on that band wagon. Bolivar brought democracy to "Gran Columbia" comprised of Bolivia, Columbia, Venezuela, Panama, Peru, Ecuador using the US Constitution and the American Founding Fathers as his governmental model. Chavez and the American Left are doing everything they can to repudiate the US Constitution and the Founding Fathers.

A History of Sense and Sensitivity

The argument for the NY mosque is that it's a freedom of religion, first amendment thing. Islam is a combination of State rule and Sharia Law, with little reference given to salvation, love, hope and charity. It's primarily a secular movement with the object of subjugating everyone on the planet to their rule; it has little to do with religion. The second observation is the first amendment states the government will not establish a State Religion, which is opposite the Islamist goal; but it does not say any religion can put up a building anywhere. Zoning and all that.

 In 1984 Cardinal Macharski, archbishop of Cracow, announced to the world that a Carmelite convent would be built on the grounds of Auschwitz. The convent would be converted from what was originally a theater, that was turned into the warehouse where the gas was stored that would eventually be used to slaughter about 1,100,000 of which 90% were Jews, the rest about 83,000 Poles, 19,000 gypsies, and 12,000 Soviet prisoners of war. 


Jews found this extremely offensive, and from the announcement to 1993, there were a lot of arguments between Catholics and Jews. Poles\Catholics said they were also exterminated there, and Jews said not to such an extent as they had been; that the site was sacred ground to them. An agreement was made that the convent would be moved off site within two years. The Catholic Church and the Polish government dragged their feet for several years, but eventually they did get the convent moved. It was wrong of them to delay, and some nasty anti-Semitic things were said by some of the Catholic Church leadership, but still the agreement was fulfilled. The details of the story here


The lesson here is respect for the emotions and values of others. The mosque is a disrespectful, even a blatant finger in the eye of America. The Islamofascist Feisal Abdul Rauf  that is heading up the Cordoba Mosque project is connected to terrorist groups, and has said America is an "accessory" to the 9/11 attack, and refuses to say that Hamas is a terrorist organization. With that background he says he's a bridge builder between Islam and the West; indeed, the Bridge of Lies.  Some background on this character here. In addition to being tied to terrorist groups, he has published a book What's Right with Islam Is What's Right with America, but outside America it's title is A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post 9/11. A "dawa" is a stealth jihad; an aggressive promotion and marketing of Islam with the goal of conquering America. The mosque is just that, and only that. Rauf's book was published by two groups financed and supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Society of North America and the International Institute of Islamic Thought. They and other affiliated terrorist jihad organizations are bent on "destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house". 


A bridge builder indeed. He's using his 'Bridge of Lies' to destroy America, liberty, and Western Civilization. If Islam were the "religion of peace" that it claims to be, it would take a page from what the Catholic Church did in Auschwitz. They exercised good sense and sensitivity.

A Prayer

Just had to post this prayer of Thomas Merton from the latest blog by Rob, The Windrose Hotel.

Prayer of Thomas Merton (Thoughts in Solitude)

My God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always, though I may seem to be lost in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.


They're Only Terrorists, It's No Big Deal

Department of Homeland Security, a supporter of open borders, has been catching and releasing bad guys. Not all of them are just from south of the open border of US/Mexico. It turns out 481 of them are from countries that are state sponsors of terrorism, or countries that are on a watch list suspected of sponsoring terrorism.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) database of current of active fugitives :
Cuba-137
Nigeria-97
Pakistan-87
Lebanon-34
Iran-29
Iraq-26
Somalia-22
Sudan-14
Syria-13
Yemen-8
Algeria-8
Afghanistan-4
Saudi Arabia-2
Libya-0

Of course they're only fugitives because ICE released them.

State sponsors of terrorism: Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba
Countries of interest: Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen... all of them support terrorism.

ICE Spokeswoman Gillian Brigham on why so many are being released. “On any given day, the immigration detention system has about 32,000 beds available for people going through immigration proceedings.”... “There are 1.6 million people going through some kind of immigration court proceeding. So you can’t detain everyone.”

Boohoo....This administration spends billions bailing out big business that in turn give them money back, and today they voted to send $26.1 billion to states to fund teachers and such. Blue states that have way overspent, and several $million will go teacher's and other unions that will send money back to the Dems. Fiscally responsible states have to bail out negligent states so the negligent states can take a huge chunk of that money to pay Dems so the Dems can give them more money for more negligence.

But this administration can't find money to keep bad guys locked up. Oh yeah, they have enough money to sue AZ, but not enough to help AZ protect her borders. They can find enough money to support those that will support them, but not enough money to do those things specifically mandated by the Constitution to govern this country in a way that is an expression of liberty and success.

Democrats Not Only Supporting Ground Zero Mosque, But Sending Builder On Trip to Spoon With Terrorists Worldwide


Feisal Abdul Rauf is the Islamofacist that's heading up the building of the mosque of triumph near ground zero. Liberals like Mayor Bloomberg and his cabal of nine city council members are all for the mosque, and apparently approve of Islams' honor killings, torture, beheadings, misogyny, homophobia and the rest of it. They just have a problem with TEA partiers and Christians.

Back to Rauf, he's being touted by these Liberal supporters of torture, murder, slavery and fascism, as a "moderate" Muslim.

Rauf:
“I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.” ("60 Minutes" two weeks after 9/11)

From the same interview, on why US was an accessory:
“Because we have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”


From an interview Aaron Klein on 77WABC:
Aaron Klein: Do you believe that the state department is correct in designating Hamas as a terrorist organization?

Imam Rauf: Um, well, I mean. Look, I am not a politician. I try to avoid the issues of. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question. There was an attempt in the 90’s to have the UN define what terrorism and say who is a terrorist. There was no ability to find agreement on that… and I am a bridge builder.

Aaron Klein: But I am asking, is Hamas a terrorist organization?

Imam Rauf: Aaron, Aaron, my work, my work, I’ve defined my work as a bridge builder. I do not want to be placed, neither will I accept to be placed, in a position of being put in a position where I am the target of one side or another.


Remember the "Peace Flotilla" that tried and run the Israeli blockade? Turned out it was a political ploy to turn nations even more against Israel. Of course the anti-Semetic Leftist governments and international Jurassic Press fell for it. Once exposed for what it was it hard to find a retraction and apology to Israel. The flotilla was partially if not largely created and funded by Perdana Global Peace Organization, and Imam Rauf is a member of influence and good standing with this terrorist organization.

Ex-Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, founder of the Perdana:
"There is strong evidence that the [9/11 terrorist] attacks were staged. If they can make Avatar, they can make anything."

"There are forces in the United States which prevent the president from doing some things. One of the forces is the Jewish lobby… Jews had always been a problem in European countries. They had to be confined to ghettoes and periodically massacred. But still they remained, they thrived and they held whole governments to ransom. Even after their massacre by the Nazis of Germany, they survived to continue to be a source of even greater problems for the world."


Now the State Department is sending this Islamist on a world wide tour, on American taxpayers dime, for 'outreach' to Muslims. After the planned mosque itself, this is the next horrible thing. Of course the State Department also puts the well being of other countries ahead of America, so no surprise here.
He said those things at a 2010 Pro-Palestinian conference.

We're glad The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) have filed a law suit to stop Rauf from this trip. They have also filed a law suit to stop the building of the mosque. Turns some of the land is leased from ConEd, and not owned by the mosque group at they have stated.

We want of course to see the funding. What terrorist groups and terrorist supporting countries will that expose?

Harry "Dusty" Reid Once Again Shows His True Racist Colors


"I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?"

"Dusty" Harry is against America having borders. He's against putting up the fence along the US/Mexican border. He supports the Federal government suing a sovereign state, AZ, for daring to protect their citizens while he supports drug and human smuggling, rape and murder. Here's a reminder; this is the guy that said Obama is a light skinned African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." This is a truly despicable low life bottom sucking biomass.

A Christian Church, A Trade Center, A Mosque


On 9/11 the Towers fell on a Christian Church and crushed it. The picture is a couple minutes before the tower fell on it. Neither the church nor the replacement for the Towers has been completed; in fact, building hasn’t even begun. What is on the fast track is a 13 to 15 story mosque a few hundred feet from ground zero.

Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, Archbishop Demetrios, said about a month after Islamic Terrorists launched the worst attack on US soil, that St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church would be rebuilt on the same ground.

It’s was a small structure, four stories, and its rebuilding is being stopped by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey; for whatever reasons St. Nicholas can’t be rebuilt on its original site. A new site about a block away has been agreed to, but still the Port Authority is blocking it. The reason given is because of a security wall that has to go up, or be designed, or agreed to, or some such thing. After more than a decade? Are you kidding? Is there a better example of government incompetence? Well, yeah, but we need to stay on this story.

The church wants to build one block to the northeast of its original site. It’s a bigger site, so the church wants to build a bigger church and add a dome. That’ll make it six times as large as the original. Of course the Port Authority has problems with that.

Executive director of the Port Authority, Chris Ward: “We understand the church’s mission. It is part of the history of the site and we want to maintain that. We just need to put the project in the right context.” Right context? It’s a church where Christians go to worship. What context? These people don’t have a place of worship, and the knuckleheads at the Port Authority have no clue.

The original church was built in 1919, converting a tavern into a church. It’s been moved several times over the years, and this latest structure would be 24,000 sqiare feet with a dome. The Port Authority though is telling them to build a smaller building. Meanwhile, down the street and a few blocks away, it’s okay to build a huge mosque several stories high and several acres large. Plus there will be the call to prayer five times a day blaring across the city.

Can’t replace the Trade Center. Can’t allow a Christian church to be built. Enthusiastically promotes a mosque that is a tribute to Islam conquering America. Of course Leftists approve of this. Trade Center is a symbol of Capitalism. Church of course is Christian. Mosque is the symbol of fascism.

Dems and Jurassic Press Supporting Anti-Semitism--Again

There was another display of Leftist anti-semitism today by the racist hater and leader of the New Black Panthers. These are the guys that stood in front of an election place with batons dressed in para-military uniforms intimidating white voters. US racist Attorney General Eric Holder approves of this activity. Voters' Rights violated, but they were just white folks.

Yesterday New Black Panther Party leader Samir Shabazz said: "You call me a white hating bigot? Let me tell you who King Samir really is..." saying he was a hip hop artist and activist. Shabazz said that he wasn't intimidating anyone and it was all a set up by the white conservative media, like, of course, Fox News.

"That's what you don't hear from Fox Jews, I mean Fox News."

Need I say it. If a white, Conservative or Christian had said that, the Jurassic Press and Dems and other Leftist supporters of Racism would be all over it; lead story, top of the fold.

More on these vile people here.

The "New Atheists" Need To Practice Self-Honesty and Tolerance

The “New Atheists” aren’t content with just stating they don’t believe, but have concocted a religion of intolerance of their own making with the soul premise of insulting believers. The attack is a forked tongue…if you believe in God you’re a stupid idiot that believes in fairy tales; and Christianity has caused more wars and bloodshed than anything or anyone else. The second we can just toss out because it’s a demonstrable lie.

Atheists seem to think they’ve developed their ethics and morality all on their own without the Judeo-Christian Ethic. In pagan societies there were no charities, women existed only for sexual pleasure and bearing children, and if the born child was not well formed or an unwanted female, or even if just unwanted, it was taken out and left to die. Pretty much what goes on in China (atheist State) presently. Archeological sites exist with just the bones of babies piled up, a disposal ground. Human life has value?

Human beings by nature are self centered, selfish creatures. We’re born bad, and that’s much, but not all, of what is meant by the phrase, “we’re all born sinners”.

We live in a culture that mostly reveres birth and children, unlike the ancient pagans. We live in a culture that allows women to vote and work, and contribute to society. Pagans didn’t. We live in a culture that condemns murder, and the pagans gave mixed messages about it. Our culture for the most part honors our parents, pagan cultures didn’t. Pagan cultures practiced slavery on a massive scale. Atheists contend we would have eventually abolished slavery without religion. Really? Did any of the pagan cultures do it? It was primarily Christians that lead the movement against slavery. Didn’t see any pagans, or atheists chiming in.

Much is made of equality in our culture. Atheists say we would have gotten here anyway. Really? Didn’t happen in pagan cultures. It’s because of the Judeo-Christian tradition, the idea that God created us in His image making us all equal that brought forth the idea of equality between men. Like all things, this had to evolve…so slave owners had to recognize the human equality of their slaves and set them free, and men had to recognize the human equality of women and open society for their participation and growth.

The “New Atheists” contend that their ethics and values, that match those that have been the foundation of Judeo-Christian values, would have manifested in modern society without religion. If so, why didn’t it? It was the Jews that first talked about equality among men (the starting point for equality of all), that talked about altruistic love, “love your neighbor” not just your family and fellow tribesmen. It wasn’t the ancient pagans that first came up with the notion. They lived during the same time period, and not a word about universal love. It was the early Christian movement that created the concept of charity, flying in the face of the selfishness. That too evolved into something that atheists see as a good thing. Not an idea pagans came up with, living in the same time period. Even now in Atheist China and the barbaric Islamic Middle East, women don't even rise to the level of second class citizens, and slavery is still practiced. If equality is so self evident, now that we're in modern times, why isn't it being practiced there?

Our culture values charity, universal love, the value of women, the value of children, the value of others not of our tribe. Not one that I can see is the result of pagan thinking or atheists’ philosophy. If these values were so universal that we would have come to embrace the same values, why aren't they, in modern times, embraced by China or Islamic countries?

Atheists should not be so intolerant of the religions, the Judeo-Christian Ethic that gave them the values they claim to hold dear. It should be enough for them, like traditional atheists, to just say “I don’t believe” and let it go. Speaking with a forked tongue about the source of the good things about our culture just shows bigotry and bad form. They should be thanking the Western Religions for these things, not lying and insulting them.

Roseanne Barr Emerges As Yet Another Hollywood Anti-Semite

Alleged comedian and anti-Semite Roseanne Barr had some things say about Jews, Hitler and some other horrendous characters. This is from her her blog on her web site "Rosanne World".

Hitler is in drag, eating little burned Palestinian cookies! Aipac translated the picture to mean: I was making fun of holocaust victims. morons, the murderers of the jewish people. Many of the Palestinian people are jewish and became christian after Israel stole their land and homes. They were dark skinned, and so driven out of their homes by a cheney-ized Judeo Christian Bushite America. the jewish american socialists are sending a flotilla from america to break the blockade of the anti-semitic zionists in Gaza! Zionists are German. weird hybrid. In order to defeat euro socialism, Hitler leveraged the rich jewish industrialists against the working class jews. The Russian accounts say that the last trains to Auschwitz were first class, as that is all the leverage left to the jewish oligarchs within the 'reich', (other than the jews like Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler at the top). The scientists of the Reich successfully created a mutant human--a hybrid of Jewish mentality and German Resolve, the Zionist-- He who broke the back of the labor movements and socialism,--- which is the goal of National Socialism---(different word for the American Southern Confederacy-the one Anne Coulter loves).


Mel Gibson, Oliver Stone, now her. Remember how all the Jurassic Press and Hollywood types got in an uproar over Gibson's tirade? Stone went ever farther than just being antisemitic, he said Hitler is misunderstood because of bad media and needed to be put in context. Not a peep from the Hollywooders or Jurassic Press. Mostly because Stone advocates for and is friends with every antisemitic murderous dictator out there. Gibson is Catholic and hasn't made any anti-American statements, so he's fair game.

If Offered Immortality In This Physical Universe, Would You Accept It?


I’ve just finished reading a good Sci Fi novel by Peter F. Hamilton, "Pandora’s Star", and am ready to immediately jump into the sequel "Judas Unchained". There’s a lot there, from intergalactic battles, huge cast of characters, high tech marvels, and fascinating ideas.

Taking place in 2380, people can pop over to anywhere in the known universe through wormholes. There are giant ones to small personal ones. Anyone can do this traveling everywhere for centuries because they can live forever if they wish. A technology allows people’s memories to be stored, and every 60-70 years their bodies go through rejuvenation and their new young bodies get their memory cells planted in their new brain.

I was wondering all through this read, would I want to live for centuries untold? Would I want others to live for centuries?

I’ve stumbled upon an English writer and researcher, Aubrey de Grey, pictured above. He thinks we’re within a quarter century of “curing” aging, and if we choose to do so, live a thousand years. He’s the Chief of Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) project. His purpose is to stop aging, and even rejuvenate one’s body and remain at a specific age indefinitely. Same as the Sci Fi novel I just finished reading.

How wise and desirable is it live that long? We each of us have limited abilities. I know, for instance, that no matter how much I study over however many years, I’m not a mathematician, physician, or physicist. I simply don’t have the mindset to be an astronomer or astronaut, surgeon or scam artist. There are some horrible people too. Would we want someone like Stalin, Hitler, or Mao perpetuating their slaughter and enslavement of people longer than they did?

British novelist Susan Ertz: “Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a Sunday afternoon”.

Can a person continue evolving or is he\she limited in our given bodies? What about disease? Will you have the same illnesses, or if you have a disability will you be able to shed it? What about a growing population that doesn’t die in its natural progression? What will that do to our resources? Will society and culture evolve if new minds, new thoughts, new people, don’t replace the old? Would the “old order” ever go away? Would humanity get stuck? de Grey answers some of these questions here.

As to personal development, being a religious person, I believe that we are here to learn lessons while in this corporeal body, and that our life spans are limited so we can go on to the next stage. There are many views of afterlife, but I’ll just state my Christian belief here. There’s a plan for our Eternity. That place is personal and accepting. It’s a place for personal growth that fulfills an eternal purpose; immortality without the limitations and boundaries we have in this life. We have been offered “Everlasting Life”, and I’ll take mine by following Christ, where there will be limitless, unceasing discoveries and wonders forever.

Jack Webb "Dragnet" Speaks Some Truths

Looking to the Ancient Past

The Didache are a compilation of writings from about 90 CE to 110 CE, very close to the times of the writings of the New Testament. They contain the worship practices and beliefs of the earliest Christians that have been conveyed through time, and have been attacked since the Church's beginning.

From the Didache:
You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten.

But often shall you come together, seeking the things which are befitting to your souls: for the whole time of your faith will not profit you, if you be not made perfect in the last time...

But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned...

Now concerning the Eucharist, thus give thanks. First, concerning the cup: We thank you, our Father, for the holy vine of David Your servant, which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant; to You be the glory for ever. And concerning the broken bread: We thank You, our Father, for the life and knowledge which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant; to You be the glory for ever. Even as this broken bread was scattered over the hills, and was gathered together and became one, so let Your Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Your kingdom; for Yours is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ for ever. But let no one eat or drink of your Eucharist, but they who have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, Give not that which is holy to the dogs.

I have written earlier here on the Eucharist, and that the sacredness of it I think is being diminished. One of the things that prompted me to write that blog is that a dog was given holy bread at Communion, and here in the Didache, "Give not that which is holy to the dogs". This is a most holy rite and its holiness and sacredness must be maintained.



Sometimes we need to get back to basics, and these ancient writings do that and are a great addition to the study of Scripture. Another recommendations are Eusebius's "The History of the Church", and for a better understanding of the letters of the Apostle Paul and his culture, "Paul Among the People" by Sarah Ruden.

The Upside Down Judge


I have a thing about test takers. They have good memories and no doubt, for the most part, study to retain that info. My view is that for the most part, only retain. I'm not talking about the hard science guys. I'm talking about lawyers, politicians, corporate managers, academics and that sort. They retain, but don't learn. I got frustrated by a lot of professors that pretty much fed back what they learned when they were getting their degrees. You know the academic promotion ladder, BS, MS, PhD, bull s**t, more s**t, piled higher and deeper. Then corporate managers that haven't ever done the work, tell those of us that actually do the work and get the job done, how to do our jobs. We get the job done in spite of them, yet they're willing to take the pay and credit.

We have one of these guys in the White House right now. He's in way over his head, and has no clue what to do but to stick to what ideas he regurgitated in school, only now he's in a position to ram it down our throats and enforce legal penalties if we resist. FDR did the same thing. All academics all the time. Clueless. Sorry my Liberal friends, going from 23% unemployment to 19% employment in two terms can't be measured as a success.

So now we have this gay judge, Vaughn Walker, that overruled a vote for a State Constitutional amendment, CA prop 8, that citizens have passed twice. Here's two basic arguments he presented in his ruling. I love it when these judges make something up and say they found a "fact". Please.

He made a statement in his ruling that gender is no longer important in a marriage. How'd he arrive at that conclusion? I'd like to point out first, that if it weren't for men and women doing what they do, he and his gay friends wouldn't exist. So show a little respect for the source of your life gay people. If I understand his befuddled "learned" thinking, this is because since men and women are equal in marriage, it doesn't make any difference if it's two men or two women because they are equal in marriage too? Say what? There are PETA people that contend animals and humans are equal, so I guess those guys could marry their dog based on that reasoning.

The other thing that stands out is this "finding of fact". Where'd he find it? The same place I suppose he found the idea that gender makes no difference in a marriage. Here's the "fact" he found: “Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians.” He claims that those arguing for marriage of man and woman, only had testimony saying that homosexuality is wrong and a sin and harmful to society. He said there's no social scientific evidence to support it that's it's harmful to society, or children.

We have to ask, to the contrary, where's the social science that say those religious beliefs are harmful to society or children? Science is about equations, cause and effect, and he didn't offer any balance (see any scales of justice here?) in what little I could see that this knucklehead wrote. I can't wade through insufferable academic gobbledygook that obscures what's being said because if said straight out would be too stupid for any sensible person to take seriously.

To top it off, his ruling shows him to be an anti-Christian bigot. “Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians.” Really? Those beliefs are harming gay people? The social science please. Gays make money, have political power, have relationships....and yet they still want more. They are willing to destroy the foundational institution of civilization for thousands of years to meet their own selfish needs. There's even some knucklehead advocating for "gay reparations" Truly?

Tying this into a pretty little test taker bow, we had a gay anti-Christian bigot overrule everybody else to give a sop to his gay anti-Christian bigot subculture.

Some good thoughtful writing about this here.

If Mexico's So Great, What Are You Doing Here?

...and TEA Partiers are uncivil and threaten violence?








Our Forward Thinking Founding Fathers

It's a Grievous Scene

This afternoon I heard an interview with Sue Krentz, wife of murdered Arizona rancher Robert Krentz. After she worked her way through the grief part of the interview, she began talking about the destruction of their ranch by the constant movement of illegals across their land. Word has it, if Krentz found one of them suffering from thirst or hunger of both, he would provide for them. Sue Krentz talked about the hardship trying to keep the cattle fed and rounded up that was the result of cut and broken fences. Just horrible destruction. Their ranch house had been broken into and over $700 worth of things were stolen.

This is where I grieve. I grieve for Arizonians that are being murdered, raped, robbed; that have to tolerate human and drug smuggling. Obama, US Attorney General Eric Holder, and the Democratic party are in fact supporting the Mexican Mafia and Drug Cartels by not enforcing the law on the borders. They are complicit in the the rape of [American] women. They are complicit in the murder of American Citizens.

Obama, Eric Holder, and the Democrats instead have filed a lawsuit against American Citizens for upholding the law. At the same time they support 'sanctuary cities' that aid and abet foreign criminals that come to our country, murder, rape, run drugs, smuggle humans, and strike fear into the hearts of American Citizens. These people swore to uphold the Constitution and enforce the law. Apparently, they've come to the conclusion that the oath meant only that the law be selectively enforced when it supports they agenda.

It goes beyond even that. When the American People decide they want specific laws and traditions, vote on them, and Obama, Holder and the Dems don't like it, they just get a judge to say that the law is unconstitutional.

The Citizens of Arizona said, hey Feds, you're not doing your job protecting us, so here's some State legislation to lay out how we're going to do it. Obama, Holder, and Dems got a judge to say the law is unconstitutional. Think on that. The Constitution is unconstitutional. At one time in this country, the "will of the people" meant something.

Now we're past the second time California citizens voted to amend their State Constitution that marriage is between a man and a woman. Obama, Holder, and the Dems found a [gay] judge to overthrow the wisdom and will of over 7 million people, finding the amendment unconstitutional. Think on it. The Constitution is unconstitutional. That the votes of a huge majority of American citizens can be ignored by one man in a black robe.

Obama, Holder, and the Dems are killing this country. They are killing the Constitution and the Rule of Law. They are literally aiding and abetting in the killing of American Citizens on the US/Mexican Border.

I grieve. So far about 47% of this country think this is okay. The support is dropping, so I do know this can be turned around. It just saddens me so many are willing to give up freedom to pretend that politicians want to take care of them. I grieve that so many in this country think someone should take care of them (47% of the country pay no taxes).

It gladdens me that now over 50% of the people are saying, Hey! Wait a minute!

November is not so far away. We must keep focused on stopping these ruling elites' support of open borders, the murder of US citizens while looking the other way, government funded abortion, political appointees in black robes ignoring the Constitution and will of the people, those same judges releasing pedophiles and rapists back onto the streets, thousands of pages of unread legislation that denies freedom and choice, fat cat Wall Streeters getting $billions of taxpayer money with no strings attached, and taxpayer money used to buy private companies that keep hemorrhaging money (except it's now ours). The list is long and getting longer, but I've got to stop.

Remember November!

New Health Care Bureaucracy-We Can See the Source of Infinity

"We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it." ~~ Pelosi

This is a flow chart of the Democrats' Health Care bureaucracy.

There are 159 new federal programs and bureaucracies, but that's a best guesstimate because we're still finding out what's in it. Name a gov't anything that diminished in size. Just thought of the military, that gets reduced whenever the anti military Democrats win power, but that's about it.

Plus:
$569 billion in higher taxes;
$529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
17 major insurance mandates;
Two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.

Allen West. True Soldier. True Man.



Running for Congressional FL seat.

Democrat Pete Stark States Fed Gov "can do most anything in this country"



She:"If this legislation is constitutional, what limitations are there on the federal government's ability to tell us how to run our private lives?"

Stark: "I think that there are very few constitutional limits that prevent the federal government from rules that would affect your private life."

She: "The Constitution specifically enumerates certain powers to the federal government and leaves . . . all other authority to the states . . . or the people. . . If they can do this, what can't they do? . . . Is your answer that they can do anything?"

Stark: "The federal government, yes, can do most anything in this country."

We are proud of this woman. Stark and his Dems, and RINO's, forget that we hired them, and they cannot tell us what to do. We hire them to represent our best interests... not theirs. Our best interests reflect the interests of this country.

Some previous vids, here and here, on this knucklehead. How do these people get elected? If I or anyone else I know in the private sector said such equivalent things, they'd be fired.

Obama Sanctions Hit on Pinal County Sheriff


Both Sheriff Paul Babeu and Sheriff Joe Arpaio have both had hits put out on them by the Mexican Mafia and Mexican drug cartels. There have been contracts put out on border law enforcement before. This time though, our government, led by Obama and the Dems, have sided with the Mafia and Cartels.

Sheriff Babeu:
“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU.”

“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”

“Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help.”

“If the president would do his job and secure the border; send 3,000 armed soldiers to the Arizona border and stop the illegal immigration and the drug smuggling and the violence, we wouldn’t even be in this position and where we’re forced to take matters into our own hands.”

Sharia Law Alive in America...Rape and Murder Okay Because of Religious Belief

In my previous entry, I told the horrible, vile and disgusting story of honor killings, that have been accepted in Europe, and is on its way to acceptance here in the US. We have Supreme Court judges that use international law to form their opinions. We have lower court judges that ignore the Constitution all together. We have judges that think Sharia Law should inform our Constitutional law.

Oklahoma recently passed a referendum stating that Sharia law cannot be used when judges form their legal opinions and pass down their rulings. Leftists and the Jurassic Press (redundant, I know) mocked the idea. Of course they don't report on the honor killings, rapes, and beatings going on in this country. They mock and insult the people that are reporting it.

Oklahoma citizens were prescient. A judge has in fact ruled a on a case using Sharia law. Fortunately, the ruling was overturned by the Superior Court. That a judge ruled this way in first place should be a powerful indicator that we are moving from a nation of laws to a nation ruled by men. I can't find the name of this judge, but he should be impeached and disbarred. A husband raped his wife. The judge thought this was okay.

Here's part of his ruling:
"This court does not feel that, under the circumstances, that this defendant had a criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault or to sexually contact the plaintiff when he did. The court believes that he was operating under his belief that it is, as the husband, his desire to have sex when and whether he wanted to, was something that was consistent with his practices and it was something that was not prohibited."


For the record, while gathering info for this, I found out the PC term for rape is "non-consensual sex". Beats Leftist (alleged feminist?) Whoppi Goldberg's "but it wasn't 'rape-rape' when she was defending pedophile and rapist Roman Polanski. This even beats out the new PC term for illegal immigrant, which is a "displaced foreign traveler".

This was an arranged marriage by the way, AKA forced marriage. Still asking, why are Liberals and Feminists (again redundant) silent on this? They think Islamofacism and Sharia law is better than Judeo-Christian values and the US Constitution? Really?

Islamic Honor Killings Enter the World of Harry Potter


There's a young woman actress, born in the UK, that has a regular part in the Harry Potter films. Her name is Afshan Azad, and her character's name is Padma Patil. While the Potter franchise ensures all ethnicity's and much diversity is invested in casting, such understanding and tolerance is not practiced in Islam. We're talking about honor killings. It's okay with Muslims, apparently with Leftists and most particularly Western Feminists, to keep mum about this practice. If the males of a family don't like the way a female is acting, they can kill her, beat her to death, torture her, stone her, whatever they like.

Ms Azad was beaten by her father and brother for dating a Hindu man. The two were set free on bail, and Ms Azad is hiding, fearing for her life. Where are the Leftists that are so quick to condemn an idiotic statement by a Christian, but remain silent when a whole religion condemns women to brutality? Where are the feminists that take umbrage at the slightest perceived "sexist" comment from a man, yet remain silent on women being murdered and beaten by Muslim men?

Here are some murdered and beaten women, a few of the thousands. Here in the US judges are giving these guys a pass.

On November 2, 2009 Noor Almaleki murdered. She was run over by her Muslim father for being too "westernized". It took her days to die.

Police in Kingston, Ontario, charged three Montrealers, Mohammed Shafia, his wife Tooba and their 18-year-old son Hamed with multiple murders, killing three of the couple's teenage daughters, including their eldest child, Zainab, 19, and a 50-year-old woman who was Shafia's secret, first wife.

Tulay Goren in the UK was tortured by her father before she was murdered.

A woman named Aasiya Hassan had her head chopped off by her "moderate" Muslim husband.

Amina and Sarah Said's father beat and raped them.

Sandeela Kanwal, 25, was strangled to death because she wanted a divorce.

Morsal Obeidi was stabbed 23 times by her brother because she turned away from her family.

Hatin Surucu was gunned down by her brothers in Germany because she was becoming so westernized.

Police say 17,000 women are victims every year in the UK alone.

Then there's the sad story of Rifqa Bary that became a Christian here in the US. Her parents tried to kill her and have beaten her for being an apostate. She's 18 now and has graduated high school. She also has cancer. Her lawyers knew of her advanced cancer and didn't let her know? What? Her survival isn't looking good. You can read the long, terrible story here.

These are on the rise in the US, and the Jurassic Press and Leftists are not reporting and ignoring it. Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs is the only media name that is addressing this. Pamela Geller has a fatwa, a contract for her murder, a hit out on her, for making this an issue. In Europe, writers that have the courage to cover this story are not allowed to have book signings and also have fatwas issued against them.

As Islam builds more Mosques in the US, and gets more Muslims immigrating to this country, we will see more and more of it, and the cowardly Left and Feminists will continue to ignore it. At least I hope they're just ignoring it, and not sanctioning Islamic atrocities just because it's a foil for their anti-Christian bigotry. Judges will continue to let these murderers free just like they let pedophiles and rapists free. Those that speak against the unspeakable will be mocked and lied about, like is being done to Pam Geller.

But boy, let a Christian just, and only, make a stupid statement, and it's headlines. I'm disgusted.

An UnChristian Christian and His Church

A knucklehead Christian Pastor, Terry Jones, and a knucklehead CNN anchor, Rick Sanchez, had this exchange about Jones's having a "Burn the Koran" day.

Two things here. The Secularists like to trot out these people to discredit Christians; or given Sanchez's 'follower of the prince of peace' self qualification, Christians that don't have a Liberal world view like his. The other thing is this Terry Jones guy is just wrong, and it hurts the Christian Community.

Since the embarrassing Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and others like them are not front and center in the Secularist media, they have no one to hold up to prove their incorrect, intolerant, bigoted view of Christians.

Where did CNN dig this Terry Jones guy up? I spend a lot of time reviewing stories on religion, specifically Christianity, and I've never heard of him or his church, "Dove World Outreach Center". Here's the first paragraph of their mission statement:
Our purpose and our goal here at Dove World Outreach Center is to get people to stand up. We, as the church, need to stand up for righteousness and for the truth of the Bible. That truth is not only love, healing and prosperity, but it is also about getting up. It is not about being entertained on Sunday morning, but about being equipped to do the work of the service: motivating, equipping to get up, organize, and show the world that there is a true and living church.

It's a small Florida organization, and from what I can tell it's about protests and intolerance. Big anti-homosexual stuff. Not too much Christian on their site. This group is going down the hateful path of Westboro Baptist, that does much of the same thing. Big on the homosexual stuff. They're the ones that protest outside military funerals to and have hateful anti-American, anti military signs and slogans. Lots of hate there.

Not a word here about Christ's Love, His Sacrifice, salvation, worship, fellowship, or service. Those are pretty much the foundation of any church, or should be.

Compare to the statement of purpose of my church, First Christian Church Las Vegas:
The purpose of this congregation shall be to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed in the New Testament, to invite and welcome people to faith in Jesus Christ, to encourage their active commitment, to help them grow in the grace and
knowledge of Christ so that they may increasingly know and do His will, and to work for the unity of all Christians and with them engage in the common task of building the Kingdom of God.


You won't see any pastor of a church like ours on CNN or Rick Sanchez's show, or any other major Jurassic News outlet. The least damaging pastor you'll see is Joel Osteen, but you don't see him on secular new shows talking about Christ and salvation and service. He preaches 'prosperity Christianity', about how God wants you to be successful and financially secure. He's a motivational speaker using Christianity in a marginal way as his foundation. Olsteen at least does little damage to the Christian community; maybe he even obliquely helps because through him some might actually get introduced to what Christianity is really about.

Christians must be quick to denounce guys like this. I have my little blog here, but there needs to be a big media Christian voice out there to follow up when the Jurassic Press trots these guys like Terry Jones and Westboro Baptist to insult and embarrass Christians. You'll never see them bring someone on when Christians are insulted to defend the Faith. Regarding the coverage of Christians in the Jurassic Press, it's a one way street called bigotry with the crossroad of intolerance.
