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

Sam Kinison on Rap

Sam Kinison on the Homeless


Before PC ~~There are no comedians with balls anymore. No one like this, or Carlin, Sahl, or Bruce. Comedians now tell unfunny sex jokes, family jokes, sex jokes, talk about themselves....blah blah blah. Stewart and Colbert? All they do is toe the Leftist party line. Pick safe subjects, safe people to mock. Oh yeah, I forgot, sex jokes.

Sure Glad the US\Mexican Border Is Safe

Both Obama and Napolitano say the Mexican\US border is safer than ever before. Barry says he going to reduce what little military presence is there even further.

Not to mention all the murders and rapes going on.

Obama and Homeland Security Won't Be Happy Until It Has The Heavy Hand of Government In Everybody's Pants, Literally



Maybe one in millions of travelers may be a terrorist. The government, instead of addressing the issue of terrorism and its source, Muslims and Islamofacism, will submit its citizens to dehumanizing behavior by God knows what kind of people. Even a three year old girl was molested by an employee of the US Government.

Glad We Live in a Post Racial America XV

The uber racist and extortionist Al Sharpton is at it again here trying to close down free speech. Statists are unable to get the Fairness Doctrine reinstated to shut down conservatives free speech, so they're trying here to use the race card. If you're white, conservative, Christian, then you're a racist. If you disagree with Obama you're a racist. If you belong to or agree with the TEA Party movement you're a racist. If you're for lower taxes and limited government you're a racist. Racist Sharpton soldiers on.

I think because of  Sharpton's racism and advocating using the government to shut down free speech, he should be brought up for investigation by the new Republican congress for using speech many whites, conservatives and upholders of the First Amendment find offensive.

Michele Bachmann: Obama's Healthcare Waivers Are Admission Of Failure

This is the Michele we love.



“What an abject failure is this government takeover of health care that fully 111 waivers have been issued? What does this mean? This is an admission of failure by the White House. They may not be admitting it, but their actions are admitting it. Why? Because we see universities and unions and favored companies are getting waivers. What’s a waiver? It’s an exemption. Why do they they need an exemption? Obamacare is a cost driving hiker. It’s a failure.

We were told we had to pass Obamacare. We couldn’t wait. We couldn’t even read the bill. We couldn’t take the time to even debate it. Because why? President Obama promised us, he promised that it would drive down the cost of health care. He promised. He promised.”

The Church, Government High Priests, and the People

I just posted about how the Liberals, Statists, Democrat Party mines the religious field in a most cynical and hypocritical manner possible. All that is part of the secularist movement and within that is the “spiritual but not religious” subculture.

Looking at Leftists disdain for religious people, that they are an ignorant weak stupid backward bunch of hicks, reminds us of Jesus, a hick raised away from the all knowing elites of Jerusalem. All us religious people out here in ‘flyover country’ are viewed the same way. A bunch unscientific, intolerant narrow-minded bigots.
High Priest Obama:
“And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country is scared, and they have good reason to be.”
Secular Priest John Kerry:
“It's absurd. We've lost our minds. We're in a period of know-nothingism in the country, where truth and science and facts don't weigh in. It's all short-order, lowest common denominator, cheap-seat politics.”
The Washington DC crowed is the same as the Sadducees and Pharisees, a bunch of Elitists that know more and better that all the rest and tell us how to live. They think they know the Constitution better than the people, like the Religious elites of Jesus’ time thought they knew Scripture better than the people. Jesus proved he had a better way, and we Christians know we have a better way now.

That demeaning, unflattering view seeps into the Church, Protestant and Catholic. Some within the church buy into that view and use it as an excuse to leave. Many see the Church as backwards and not attended by very smart people. But if you suffer a set back and are hurting, do you go to your pastor or congressman? If you’re sick or injured do you go to a hospital (the idea and development belonging to Christians) or to your congressman or a government bureaucrat? When you have a need to surround yourself with the love of others, do you go to a meeting of the state assembly or church? When you want to help out, contribute, do you go to a charity or church, or a government program? When our country has a national tragedy, such as 9/11,  the churches filled, not government buildings. In the aftermath of Katrina the hard work of caring for the sick and lost and lonely, who provided the most people to help, and which people contributed the most and made the most sacrifice to help…Christians or government bureaucrats? Every week when I attend services I learn and am intellectually challenged.   

There’s a lot to commend the Church. It’s under fire from within and without. What will hold it together is Love. I don’t know of Dorothy Day, but just doing a cursory review of her writings, it’s apparent she’s a prophet, and we should listen to her as part of our constant reforming of the church and filling it with even more love. I’ll trust my pastors before I trust my political representatives or bureaucrats. I’ll have a deep and passionate love for my church before any government bureaucracy. We Christians must be forever reminded that within the Church is where we find Love, the kind Christ talks about, and we must remain committed to it. We must be passionately in Love with the Church.

Democrats Mining the Religious "Field" for Votes


 The poll that shows more Democrats believe in UFO’s than God is one of my favorites. Coupled with the observation that one sees Democrat politicians in church mostly during campaigns, and mostly Black churches at that, is a telling tale.

Percolating in the Leftist media is the idea that part of the reason for the massive loss this past election is the Dems didn’t reach out to faith groups. (Still denying the truth that citizens don’t want the government raising taxes [taking their earnings away] and telling them how to live their lives). They think that they didn’t “target” Faith groups as aggressively this election cycle as they did the last, and this was a major factor in the loss. Truly, they’re thinking this.

They point to polls showing progressive religious people stayed home and didn’t vote. Obama, who is religiously fluent and a committed Christian (truly, they think this) didn’t speak to the Faithful. That Obama is a committed Christian is an amazing observation. This is the guy that early in his administration traveled the Islamofacist countries of the Middle East praising Islam and dismissing Christianity, and even called the US a Muslim nation. On his current Jihad Jaunt in Asia he’s been praising Islam at every stop. He hasn’t said a word about the way Christians are being tortured and murdered in Iraq and significantly ignored the recent violence against Christians, by Muslims, in Indonesia. Good grief, he was right there, and this violence is very recent. Instead he called Islam, once again, a religion of peace and tolerance. Truly?

The Democrat Party has a group, the Eleison Group, a consulting firm, tasked with targeting Faith groups with a political end in mind. If a politician or political party needs a consulting group to create an image of being a religious, or caring about faith based issues, then it’s obviously insincere. True religious people speak of such things from the heart. They don’t need consultants.

The internal discussion of this issue is now about how the Democrats need to increase the funding and staffing of faith based political action organizations, so the Republicans don’t have that “field” to themselves.  Religion as a political field to be mined for votes.

When Republican and Conservative politicians make statements about their faith, they are mercilessly attacked by the Left and Democrat politicians for expressing such a thing. Just ask George Bush and Sarah Palin. Democrats are constantly whining about the separation of church and state (Christine O’Donnell was right, it’s not in the Constitution) and wanting to tax churches (which would destroy most of them).

Democrats, Liberals, Statists continue with their dishonesty in this, as they do with most things. Bash Christians in between elections and go to church during elections. Call Obama a “committed” Christian when all he’s done is be dismissive of Christianity, and having consulting groups advise how to veil their anti-Christian bigotry to trick people into voting for them.

They worship the State, and those damn Christians keep getting in the way with all those biblical values and are keeping everybody from worshipping the State too.


San Francisco Looking to Ban Slicing Little Weenies

Liberalism, Statism, Democrat Party is all about taking things away from the people to gain power for themselves. They deny it of course, but one only needs to look to San Francisco and look at what unopposed Liberalism is taking away, banning, from the citizens. It’s astonishing that millions of people there have no problem with this.

Most recently, a petition is being circulated in San Francisco to ban circumcision. Truly. The author of this is Lloyd Schofield, who wants to "make it a misdemeanor to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18.” He wants the penalty to be at least $1000 and up to a year in jail. He needs 7100 signatures and I’m sure he’ll have no problem getting them.

So far San Francisco has banned pets, soda, plastic bags and McDonald’s Happy Meals. I thought too that liberals, especially the San Fran variety, cared about the homeless, but have passed the “sit/lie" ordinance banning people from sitting or lying down on the sidewalks between 7am and 11pm. What are those poor homeless people supposed to do?

The rest of the country this past election has said enough of this government meddling in the lives of the citizens, but California has decided to forge ahead. Leftists want to control everything, if you have pets or not, what kind of shopping bags you can use, what you can eat (Bloomberg in NY dictating how much salt restaurant cooks and chefs can put in their food), and now whether or not you can circumcise your baby.

Suicide Bombers on Strike!

Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this December, from 72 to only 54. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife.

The suicide bomber's union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (BOOM) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return, and to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth."

Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands, in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers concerns, but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure and laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up."

Spokespersons for the Union in the north east of England, Ireland, Wales, and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations, as "there are no virgins in their areas anyway."

Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has been put down to the emergence of Scottish singing star Susan Boyle - now that Muslims know what an actual virgin looks like they are not so keen on going to paradise.

Driscoll Middle School Trick Play

How fun is this?

Obama's Foreign Policy

Obama is in India with all his planes and automobiles, trying to be impressive and garner adulation there since there's not much left for him here. His foreign policy has pretty much made us a mockery in the world, and especially all his scraping and bowing before Islamofacists have only had the effect of them even being more threatening, I thought this is a pretty good metaphor for his foreign policy.

Empathy and Evolution

Food for thought.

People Doing Some Amazing Things

No Compromise

It's only when there's bipartisanship that Republicans get grief. Afghanistan was bipartisan, TARP was bipartisan, Iraq was bipartisan, "No Child Left Behind" education act was bipartisan, to name the biggies. Then the Republicans get blamed, no Dems mentioned, when things go south.

It's absolutely crucial that Obama's reach across the aisle to "compromise" on reducing the "Bush Tax Cuts" be rejected. These guys really believe that $200,000 a year is a lot of money. After all the fees and taxes from all the Federal, State and local governments are taken, plus all the sales taxes, more than half is gone. That Leftist mantra of "how are we going to pay for it", referring to all the government expenditures, needs to be re-languaged. The question should be, how can any citizen afford to pay for it (having even higher taxes, more reduced income)?

When I was born the income tax rate was 2% so we could pay down the war (WWII) debt. It has gone up ever since then, with a couple breaks along the way. Obama and the Dems, still not backing down on tax increases, keep saying they only want to raise taxes on those making over $200,000 a year. Remember when Obama said he was going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans, and has kinda claimed he did? Well why don't we increase those taxes? You know, the Obama Tax Cuts. He and the Dems still don't get that they were soundly beaten in the last elections partially because the citizens are saying enough to the tax increases already.

Here's a compromise. Only Democrats making over $200,000 a year get their taxes increased if they believe in high taxes so much. I think too the marginal tax rate of 90% that was in place before JFK cut them should be levied against George Soros, Bill Gates and all other Democrats at that level of wealth. The Dems tried to target tax increases to certain businesses and people, but even the Leftist Judaical branch rejected it as unconstitutional. Out of fairness, they should voluntarily give 90% of their wealth to the government. It would be a big help, they'd still be multi millionaires, and they would have a chance to walk the talk, contribute, and be moral and caring too.

Wealthy Dems, Amerika needs you. Give it up...

Seriously, here's the compromise. All the "Bush Tax Cuts" will be permanent, and you Dems get to figure out how to compromise on reducing expenditures. Say no to Obama. Republicans need to take a page from the Dems. "You lost, we do it our way."

Maybe This Will Help the Dems Understand What Happened on Election Day

Akiane Kramarik- Child Artist



Interview with her.

Checking out the comments on YouTube about her, are what one expects. Vile, vicious, profane bigotry. Good grief, could you imagine Christians saying such things about an atheist's work?
This is a girl with an amazing talent.

Statist Judges Booted

Iowa has it right, and we hope that other states take the idea and run with it. We have a major problem in this country, and that’s judges legislating from the Bench when they think the Citizens are too stupid to know what’s right and good for them.

Iowa voters kicked three Statist Supreme Court alleged judges off the bench. They had overturned the will of the people and made same sex marriages legal in that state. If the Citizens through their legislators had created a law for that it would have been an okay thing, but they didn't. 

Iowa has a pretty cool system for controlling out of control judges called the “Missouri Plan”. A politically balanced committee nominates the judges and from them the governor appoints. After that they are up for reelection. These three judges, Chief justice Marsha Ternus and justices David Baker and Michael Streit lost their reelection bid. The idea that judges are in that position for life was a good one, but that was when judges knew the Constitution and Law. What was a good idea to avoid political influence has been turned on its head so judges now use their power to overrule the Citizens and impose their own Leftist view of the law. The worst example of this is when a few months ago a California alleged judge, gay by the way, overturned a proposition overwhelmingly approved by over 7 million voters, stating the definition of marriage is something only between a man and a woman.

We commend the Iowa voters for their right decision. There are several states where judges have ruled the will of the people unconstitutional, when in fact the laws were just un-Liberal. We need to see more states with the Missouri Plan. Judges shouldn’t be above the rule of law either.

Joseph Sobran - A Tribute

I learned this past week of the passing of one of my favorite political writers, Joseph Sobran. I read everything he wrote for National Review all during the 1980’s; he was instrumental in educating me about Conservatism. I was so indoctrinated in Marxism and the Leftist cultural mindset that it took about the whole decade to clear my head of it.

He had written a piece that was so clear and succinct about what conservatism was that it became a large part of my foundation of political thought. I wrote him a few years ago asking if he had a copy of it he could forward to me, and he wrote back it was the property of National Review. I’m hoping with Sobran’s passing that his collected works get published.

He was one of the finest political writers ever; a joy to read. Some just put together words in a way that not only are the ideas clear, but the syntax and structure are just lovely.

Here’s a line from “Pensees”, the piece that had such an impact on me.
“There are natural limits to our sympathies, limits liberalism can only condemn, never respect. And there is no reason to credit its attitude with ‘idealism’. A robin that took worms to every nest in the forest would not be an ideal robin; it would only be an odd bird.”
More:
"Nothing is easier than to imagine some notionally ‘ideal’ state. But we give too much credit to this debased kind of imagination, which is so ruthless when it takes itself seriously. To appreciate, on the other hand, is t imagine the real, to discover use, value, beauty, order, purpose in what already exists; and this is the kind of imagination most appropriate to creatures, who shouldn’t confuse themselves with the Creator.
The highest form of appreciation is worship. I don’t insist that there is a correlation between formal religion and conservatism. But there is an attitude prior to any creed, which many make a healthy-minded unbeliever regretful that he has nobody to thank for all the goodness and beauty in his life that he has done nothing to deserve. One might almost say that the crucial thing about a man is not whether he believes in God, but how he imagines God: as infinitely good and adorable, or merely as an authoritarian obstacle to human desire? The opposite of piety is not unbelief, but crassness."
I had rejected Christianity while in my 20’s, opting for all the fluffy headed new ageism. My evolution from Marxism to Conservatism lead to my returning to Christianity. That took longer, about 15 years until I returned to the Faith and the Church and got baptized. Looking back it’s related to the idea Sobran noted about the correlation between religion and conservatism.

Now comes the sad part of the story. William F Buckley fired Sobran in the late 1980’s because it became apparent he was an anti-Semite. The National Review issue right after Sobran’s firing was completely written by Buckley, “In Search of Anti-Semitism”. I read most of it then, and didn’t get much of it, partly because Buckley’s intellectual prowess so outstrips mine, and I was still in the process of intellectual and spiritual transformation.

After the firing and the whole NR issue being written by Buckley, Sobran’s career was pretty much destroyed. He associated more with lesser intellects, and anti-Semitic organizations, he lost his audience, and his health declined. He died alone and broke. He could have changed his thinking, gone to Buckley for help and asked for forgiveness, but was intransigent in his views.

I am saddened that he lost his way. This was a brilliant mind that had such a powerful influence on my political thinking, and I pray that he’ll be remembered for that brilliance and not for the ideas that lead to his personal and professional destruction.

A Minor Triumph for Christian Woman Wanting Christian Roommate

We're glad to hear that an attack from an anti-Christian bigot got stopped. The bigot had filed a complaint with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights because a woman had posted a roommate wanted page on the church bulletin board, stating she wanted a Christian roommate. Posted in church no less! Story originally posted here. 

The suit was rejected finding no violation of housing law. 

The suit was filed through the bigoted hate special interest group Fair Housing Center of West Michigan, which reportedly gets bucks for finding and submitting these kinds of charges.

We are glad to see the State finally applying law correctly, rather than perverting it to meet its own needs for the suppression of Christianity.

Religious Freedom

Though I'm not a Catholic, this vid expresses exactly what Christianity has brought to the world, often through the Catholic Church. Atheists and secularists did not bring us schools, hospitals and charities.
 

For bringing these good things that have benefited all mankind, Christians are persecuted to death in some places, to being verbally and politically attacked in others.

Here in the US we're told to keep our mouths shut and only speak of religious things in our churches and homes. We are told to keep our religion out of politics. We are told to keep our religion out of the culture. That's because Secularists want power unopposed.

Not going to happen here. I'll witness my Faith wherever I want, whenever I want. I'll bring God into the voting booth. Insult or lie about my religion and I'll go after you as hard as possible.

Rubio for Senate TV Ad, "A Generational Choice" ~Must See!

What a political ad should be.
