The Internet is abuzz with shock that Harvard has authorized a club dedicated to the kinky sex described in Fifty Shades Of Grey. How is that any worse than the Gay Student Union or tax dollars going to disperse thousands of condoms each year through the campus health department as transpires at colleges across America throughout the course of the academic year.
You can't convince me that the Tide detergent commercial with the Hispanic couple with the thick accents isn't more about brainwashing viewers into a state of linguistic surrender as it is about selling product. If it is simply about selling laundry cleanser, where is the version with a Redneck couple with the slurred speech characteristic of the Deep South?

Prison Fellowship Ministries Up To Old Direct Mail Antics
One can tell the holidays that herald the conclusion of the year (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) are upon us.
Most can tell this by the crispness in the air or from the days growing noticeably shorter.
However, if your name and address has made it into the databases of Christian Evangelical direct marketing, you may also know Christmas time is coming because of an annual appeal received from Prison Fellowship Ministries on behalf of the organization's Angel Tree Project.
In most instances, those that send Christmas cards tooting their own horns at least have the decency to change up the content each year.
The same cannot be said of the part of the Angel Tree Project appeal designed to guilt recipients into compliance.
Contained with the mailing is what the unsuspecting will perceived as a handwritten message from a convict begging for a gift for his daughter.
According to the letter, there was still nine years left on the inmate's sentence and he would not be able to play a role in his daughter's life for nearly an entire decade.
However, since at least 2005 and perhaps even as far back as 2003, Prison Fellowship has been sending the exact same note.
As such, shouldn't "Richard" (if that is even his name) nearly be ready for release if he has not already departed the Big House? It is 2012, after all.
It's bad enough for Prison Fellowship to solicit for the organization's campaign in such a manner as to make those receiving the appeal seem guilty because those perpetrating any variety of criminal deeds have been incarcerated for violating the law.
You'd think that Prison Fellowship could at least exhibit the decency to feature a different jailbird each year still in need of the ministry's services.

The cover story of the November 24, 2012 issue of the New Scientist suggests humans might have been human much longer than originally thought. It would be amusing if science eventually gets to the point where it is admitted that our species has been fully human all along as well as the other species fixed within the parameters of their respective kinds.
Those inquiring as to whether Marco Rubio embraces the notion that the earth is millions of years old don't give a tinkers Darwin about scientific accuracy. What they are really hinting at is that they find such a candidate insufficiently relativistic in his thinking to undermine human dignity and traditional marriage or posses enough of a willingness to eliminate America's system of natural and Constitutional liberties.
To the Calvinist, if the individual is just a puppet with God's hand up their backside unable to profess anything but what the puppeteer allows to come out of its mouth, why is it the puppet's fault if the puppet is not allowed to confess belief in its creator and for any vile things the puppeteer allows the puppet to enunciate?
If the murder of Abraham Shakespeare is to be lifted up an example of the evil that befalls lottery winners, shouldn't the destitution, sloth, and debauchery wallowed in by many of the recipients of assorted government assistance programs extended to the able-bodied youthful be touted as evidence for the eventually abolition of most forms of public welfare?
I hope most realize that, when a publication lists an edition as a special double issue, that this is nothing but a plan to squeak by on the least amount of editorial effort as possible while attempting to fool the subscriber into thinking they are still receiving whatever ever number the volume is suppose to consist of. Often these double issues are no thicker contentwise than the usual installment.
If Pat Robertson thinks that the Genesis creation account should not be taken literally, why should we take as literal any verses of Scripture he invokes to justify the most idiotic segment of his program where he claims to telepathically see God healing generic nondescript illnesses where the televangelist hopes those falling for such parlor trickery will send in a hefty donation.
Immigration Sparks Killer Epidemics
Are you going to tell me your broadmindedness will protect you or that you are willing to die in this manner in the name of your "noble principles"?

Paul Krugman denounced Marco Rubio (and by extension all Republican candidates identifying themselves in some way as conservative) for not embracing the theory that the world is millions of years old. However, isn't the hypothesis of a young earth more rational and less harmful than a political ideology that encourages indolence and sloth on the part of the able-bodied youthful?
I was never all that impressed with how much one gets back on one's taxes as a result of all the interest one had to pay out in order to receive anything. It is yet another form of government manipulation deluding the gullible into believing the have been given something that was already theirs to begin with.
If the Calvinist observes that many have been duped into believing they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare, theologians holding to such have no one to blame but God if things are set up in such a way in terms of salvation if a person is nothing but a puppet in terms of where the individual ends up in the Afterlife.
According to Calvinism, how can unbelief be considered a sin if you aren't capable of assenting to the propositions of redemption unless permitted to do so by God Himself? In Calvinism, categorizing unbelief as a sin is akin to a bully grapping the hands of his victim, hitting the victim with the victims hands, and then asking the victim "Why are you hitting yourself?"
In Congress, Chicago voters may go from a Representative that prances around naked in gay bathhouses thinking he is a reincarnated Greek charioteer to an aspiring pedophile turned on by the prospects of defiling Catholic school girls. Of course, the really offensive outrage and fall of the republic is Mitt Romney admitting their is a sizeable demographic in this country that won't vote for you unless you lavish them with unearned handouts.

Shoppers whipped into a berserker frenzy kept in line by SWAT teams with police helicopters overhead while beating fellow shoppers to death for prepaid cell phones is one thing and over the line. However, is what is denounced as “commercialism” all that bad of a thing? Should analysts probe deeper, the discerning might discover that what these critics actually oppose is not so much the profanation of a Christian liturgical celebration but rather robust commerce and the widespread availability of abundant consumer goods. These beatnik Luddites would turn their nose up at OTHER people’s luxuries (while texting their condemnation on their numerous wireless devices that you are to forego in the name of simplicity and sustainability) whether such items were purchased between Thanksgiving and Christmas or acquired throughout the remainder of the year.

Homeless Man Hassles Hackman
The headline initially informing of such was formulated without a modifier or a more colorful description such as "crazed deadbeat" or "lewd indigent" in order to make Hackman appear to be this vile individual that makes a habit of accosting the downtrodden or deriving some kind of buzz from doing so.
Quite the opposite seems to be true.
From the complete account, Hackman was actually protecting his wife and the vagrant properly got what was coming to him.
Why should we care that Hackman's attacker was homeless?
Would the public have been informed of this incident if the assailant domiciled in a more traditional mode of habitation?
As in regards to race and ethnicity, many leftists will so romanticize destitution that they cultivate the perception that those characterized by this economic plight or social condition can do no wrong.
If so, are the hypertolerant going to insist that they would allow some filthy, possibly disease ridden, bum to put his hands all over their wives, daughters, or dinner dates they are hoping to impress?
The Declaration of Independence insists that, in terms of fundamental being, all men are created equal.
If we are to accept the notion that the homeless are no less human than the rest of us and are deserving of the same degree of respect and courtesy that we expect from other members of our species, it also follows that we should expect from them the same kind of character flaws plaguing the remainder of our kind and that we should be allowed to protect ourselves from them accordingly.

Ben Carson Urges Parents To Be Niggardly With Praise
What if those are the only things that a child is good at?
And if a child should not receive any praise for the accomplishment of ordinary things, applying this kind of logic why ought run of the mill parents then be fawned all over by children on Mother's or Father's Day.
After all, it was the parents that took it upon themselves to engage in those motions that result in a child coming into existence and should have known what it was they were getting themselves into.
Unless you are a Mormon or something, the child wasn't consulted in the matter.

According to homeschool activist Kevin Swanson in his sermon "Using Yourself Up", it is a sin if parents don't leave their children much of a financial inheritance. Well excuse the contemporary individual if they eat more than a single saltine cracker with a single sip of water per day and aren't amenable to living under a bridge like a common troll waiting for an unsuspecting goat to perambulate by. And what if, as in the case of many of the elderly, what you did save is eaten up by overwhelming medical expenses? Not only are we forced to suffer sickness as a result of the sin curse placed upon mankind, but according to this line of theological reasoning, we must also feel guilt for implications of the sickness itself now?

Judge Jeanine remarked on her Fox News program in light of the General Petraeus scandal that it is troubling that men can be manipulated sexually. At least to get a man to do what you want there needs to be the likelihood of a little T&A or some equivalent. The recent election proved that all it takes to get most women to sway at your command is to toss thirty pieces of silver at these harlots so they can go slaughter their unborn.
A Yahoo.com headline read "Republicans: GOP Should Get With The Times." In other words, party elites are advocating the public accepted of assorted forms of perversion, infanticide, and the denigration of the White race. Had the times we are suppose to get with been 1930's Germany, these are the same sorts likely stuffing the politically noncomformist and the genetically insufficient into boxcars sent on brisk locomotive holidays across the central European countryside.

Those Spewing Respiratory Expellant Should Remain Home From Church
In a Facebook comment, I admitted that I wasn’t too keen on being showered with viscous respiratory expellant by someone in the pew behind me trying to hack up a lung.
There is no reason why those suffering such afflictions shouldn't stay home.
As an omniscient deity, it's not like God is not able to determine whether you are legitimately sick or trying to pull a fast one over His eyes.
This sentiment is especially pertinent in a church that insists upon some asinine handshaking ritual where some won’t return to their pews until they’ve smeared their palms over every last palm in the congregation.
For sharing this observation that has no doubt crossed the mind of others, it was insinuated my faith was not as sincere as those that participate in foreign missions.
For responding that not everyone’s cup of tea is made of Third World sewer water, I had James 1:27 tossed back in my face about pure religion being visiting widows and orphans in their time of trouble.
I have visited people in hospital settings despite the near phobia I have of those places.
But I guess those I visited were too White and American to rack up any brownie points over yonder.
And unlike missionaries that send out photocards with their fifteen kids all dressed the same like they are members of some sort of cult, I don’t stretch out a hand expecting something to be placed in it while droning on incessantly how morally superior those dwelling in these heathen trashpile countries are to the run of the mill American Christian that doesn’t practice the faith at the level of a religious fanatic.
