Hussy Claims George Zimmerman Molested Her
news.yahoo.com
Unless there are fingerprints or dried genetic goo, what proof does she have? Maybe someone without any audio proof whatsoever can come forward with allegations that this suspect accused in the death of Trayvon muttered “Stupid N-word” under his breath when cut off by one in traffic.

Researchers are claiming that women are surpassing men on IQ tests. However, it must be asked are these the same tests given when men had the higher scores or have the tests be altered to incorporate questions men don’t give a flip about? Interesting how when men were scoring higher leftists were insisting things like intelligence were not objectively quantifiable and that it was sexist to attempt to do so anyway.
In order to justify confiscatory taxation, President Obama gleefully reminded that no one achieves in isolation. Will he also emphasize the inverse corollary that the deliberately indolent on public assistance that the Chief Executive wants to free from the obligation of seeking gainful employment drag the remainder of us down along with them? So if someone is a success in life as a result of a skilled educator as Obama claims, why is the drunk deadbeat entitled to a cut of the accumulated wealth?

Walter Williams Misguided On Nursing Care
While filling in on the Rush Limbaugh program, economist Walter Williams insinuated those seeking some kind of public assistance for the nursing care of their decrepit parents are not honoring their mothers and fathers as admonished by the pages of Scripture.
And where exactly are most suppose to get the $9,000 per month to pay for this nursing care?
There are only so many that get to take a turn at filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
Interestingly, the same legalists that like nothing more than putting their piety on display for church members to applaud and fawn all over that would agree with Williams’ conclusion would probably then turn around and heap condemnation on such Christians going bankrupt or working themselves into an early grave themselves directly providing highly skilled medical care they might not be qualified to give if they were unable to send their children to Christian or home school or slack off in what they slip into the collection plate for evangelizing the jungle savages overseas as a result of undertaking this financial hardship.

Bloomberg Wants New York Redesigned As Giant Penal Colony
news.yahoo.com
The Mayor is already attempting to control what you can eat in terms of salt content and what you can drink in terms of limiting the size of soft drinks. Now he wants to control living space (or Lebensraum as the Nazis use to call it) by decreasing apartment size.

Shiftless Afrosupremacists Demand Increased Handouts

In saying that Romney "doesn't understand Blacks", what the socialist front group is really saying is that Romney doesn't sufficiently pander and cower before their threats at this point in the campaign.

Michael Moore Would Ration Utilities
Filmmaker Michael Moore is insinuating that, if you have spoken out against union excesses, you do not deserve to have your electricity restored.
In other words, access to the necessities of contemporary life should be predicated upon ideological conformity and compliance.
Such a proposal by Moore should come as no surprise.
It seems for decades now that Moore has lavished praise upon the Cuban healthcare system.
In such totalitarian regimes, one’s access to goods and services is not determined by a fairly objective standard such as price where any with the requested amount may qualify but rather but how politically utilitarian one is in furthering the agenda of the prevailing elite.

The cover of a July 2012 issue of the Baltimore Jewish Times reads, "The Jewish community recovers from last weekend's devastating storm." It wasn't exactly bagels and cream cheese for we heathen Gentiles either. Had a Christian publication focused so narrowly on its own woes during a crisis that impacted so many equally irrespective of creed, you'd never hear the end of it from the Anti-Defamation League.

John Huntsman is refusing to participate in any Republican functions until the GOP puts the country above politics. I am sure so many average Republicans are devastated by such an announcement. However, an even greater number are probably scratching their heads and saying, "Huntsman who?"
To the unsuspecting, such a sentiment might actually sound noble. However, to Huntsman, it is merely euphemism calling for the adoption of more liberal policies.

Vatican Sets Back Ecumenical Relations Decades
The Vatican has set back ecumenical relations decades.
In a statement that can't be described as anything but cultic, the Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith has stipulated that the legitimacy of a church is not determined by a profession in Christ but rather by fidelity to the Pope.
Talk about an inflated ego.
Act 16:13 instructs believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
There is not much there about unwavering loyalty to a stand in that is no less human that and just as much in need of a Savior as the remainder of us.
The Spirit of the Lord is where two or three are gathered in His name.
A certificate of authenticity from a plushly adorned headquarters is not required.

Southern Baptists Contract A Derivative Of Obamamania
It has been said that Evangelicals are five to ten years behind the rest of the culture in terms of embracing fads and trends.
That seems about right.
Last election cycle, a plurality made a considerable fuss over and selected a candidate for the Presidency of the United States primarily because the individual claimed to be Black.
Now it seems movers and shakers within the Southern Baptist Convention have been whipped up into a similar frenzy.
Of the election of Fred Luter to the highest office in that particular ecclesiastical association, the Dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Russell Moore gushed, "To have the son of slaves now leading this denomination as it reaches the world with gospel is a sign of God's mercy."
So as a man well over 100 years of age, Rev. Luter is looking remarkable fit and vital.
Moore continued on in a vein of self-deprecation that would make most Jews blush, “This denomination was once described...as ‘white as a tractor pull’. It that’s the case, the denomination will not, and should not, survive.”
Over the centuries, most to hold the Papacy have hailed from the Caucasian end of the racial spectrum. So should critics call for the end of that institution because it has not lived up to some arbitrary notion of racial diversity?
More importantly, the formulation of Moore’s response to this question put to him is quite revealing and exposes a number of assumptions.
What exactly does “white as a tractor pull” mean anyway?
Are not Whites allowed to have a form of entertainment inherent to their particular culture? Does Moore intend to criticize forms of recreation that tend to appeal to Black folks but not Whites?
Likewise, will this same spirit of condemnation be brought to bear against Black Baptist bodies that do not enact outreach and set aside opportunities particularly aimed towards White people.?
For overall, one will find it is probably more likely that a Black person will advance within the ranks of the Southern Baptist Convention than for a White person to advance very far within predominately Black ecclesiastical administrative organizations and associations.
If the Rev. Fred Luter was elected from a truly Biblical perspective, not a single word would be mentioned about his color. Instead, all that would be said is that he is the most qualified man for the position from the standpoint of his Christian character and his aptitude to apply sound theology to the challenges facing American culture today.

On the program Hollywood Treasure someone wanted to sell their Dukes of Hazard General Lee to pay for his wedding. This raises at least two questions. Did he want to sell the General Lee to pay for the wedding or was it his wench that wanted to sell the General Lee to pay for the wedding? And more importantly, does she intend to part with a possession as cherished to her?
How are a tax and a penalty really all that different? In the contemporary assessment system, every tax is a punishment for something. Be it for attempting to better yourself through increased income, for owning something such as property, for trying to enjoy yourself, for simply existing, or for simply ceasing to exist (so called death taxes as well as having to send back Social Security payments for family not living the entire month).

Average Americans Need Not Feel Guilty
On the cover of the 4/20/12 issue of the leftwing Catholic publication Commonweal is a picture of a farm worker.
The caption below the picture reads, "Meet The Woman Who Picked Your Food".
And why should the average American be made to feel guilty about this?
Unlike this leftwing branch of the Catholic faith (as well as the leftwing branches of Protestantism for that matter), average citizens are not the ones wanting borders flung wide open and little done to deport those with no business being here.
Does the magazine also intend to run a cover article about average Americans to shoulder increased tax burdens and how waves of immigrants failing to acclimate to the cultural standards of this country have decreased the quality of life in numerous communities across the nation?
Michelle Obama declared Jesus to be a model citizen. In the eyes of the First Lady, I wonder if that includes the incident of the driving of the money changers from the Temple? Does Michelle Obama applaud Christ's endorsement of the right to carry a concealed weapon (or at least a weapon) when He told his Disciples to sell a cloak to purchase a sword if they did not already have access to the contemporary side arm of the day. And under the kind of healthcare reform advocated by Jesus, contraceptives (at least for the unmarried) would not be necessary since He told the adulterous woman to go and sin no more.
The commencement speaking insisting there is nothing inherently special about individual human beings told the students that they were taken care of by adults that had better things to do. If that is the attitude of these adults, perhaps they ought to have been doing these other things the night they made the baby.
"Building For Social Change"
The cover story of the March 2012 edition of Architectural Record is "Building For Social Change."
For those not yet fluent in speaking the language of Totalitarianstan, this means people will literally be herded into living in tight quarters whether they want to or not.
Most laughable were the pronouncements for the grandiose projects designated for skid row areas with large concentrations of the homeless and others just as likely on government assistance.
After nearly five decades of public housing projects, apparently these central planners still fail to realize that, no matter how pretty you design the building, it's not going to last long if the residents have it so easily handed to them that they have no compunction against defecating in places other than the designated toilet facilities.

Too much is being made over a survey that 30% under thirty have at some point doubted the existence of God. The survey does not indicate that these individuals continued on in that frame of mind. Many renowned theists such as Billy Graham, C.S. Lewis and Mother Teressa doubted at various points in their lives and eventually worked through it for the better.

In a sermon on systematic theology, the minister said that your primary source of teaching ought to be from the local church. Any books that you research should be construed through what is learned there. If anything, you should view the local church with the same degree of scrutiny in light of God's Word. One might actually need to be more conscientious in keeping one's guard up in regards to the local church because a book is not going to play up to your existential weaknesses not directly related to the subject matter being addressed by the book nor intimidate you if you don't go along 100% with the manuscript on every secondary issue.
Joe The Plumber Right
Joe the Plumber should not be condemned by leftwing Jews over recent comments regarding the Second Amendment.
If Jews had firearms in Germany, at least one of the scenarios would have likely transpired.
Fewer Jews might have died because the Nazis might have thought twice about sending so many to their deaths.
Second, those defending themselves might have taken a greater number of Nazis out along the way.
Even more importantly, if Jews had been permitted to own firearms, there might have not even been a Holocaust since the first step of slaughtering vast numbers of people is to deindividualize. There is no surer way of accomplishing that than by increasing dependence upon the state.
The cover of the July 2, 2012 of The Nation reads, "Islamophobia: Anatomy Of An American Panic". Those given over to such reflection should stop and ask a profound question. That interrogatory is just how many publications in the Islamic and Third Worlds have published articles with titles such as “Christophobia” or “Ameriphobia? It must be observed that those given over to destroying their own neighborhoods upon merely hearing things they don’t like aren’t exactly renowned for their aptitude out critical self-evaluation.

Thoughts Concerning The Avengers
The Avengers was a good film.
However, it was not the greatest superhero movie of all time as has been suggested.
And believe me, I have seen some superhero movies.
Not much thought went into Hawkeye's costume.
It hardly resembled his ensemble from the comics.
The aliens were less than impressive and, along with the wormhole portal opening above a skyscraper, the sequence seemed nearly interchangeable with last year's Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon.
As often as films depict such anomalies manifesting in the vicinity of the Empire State Building with non-terrestrial entities pouring through, that is likely a warning placed by occultic elites to those of sufficient discernment that such an event is prophesied for some point in the future.
Sort of the way all manner of ghoulish symbolism is dispersed throughout the Denver International Airport subtly informing how the facility will be used as a command center by the forces of the New World Order when that tyranny is implemented.
In one particularly reflective scene, the assembled heroes flew into a moral outrage when Nick Fury admitted to plans to develop weapons based upon the tesseract technology.
Thor portends that such research will usher mankind to the next level of warfare as forces beyond humanity from that point onward will take notice of the threat posed by the Earth.
But wouldn't these individuals of enhanced ability themselves be the next step in the development of the implements of destruction and conflict?
Yet other than Bruce Banner wanting rid of his affliction as the Incredible Hulk, none of them seem eager to give up those aspects of their existential makeup that set them above the lumbering common masses of humanity.
Captain America would probably be the sincerest individual among the lot but even he volunteered to undergo the procedure that increased his physiology.
Iron Man is ultimately just a suit of armor.
Thus Tony Stark could give up his alter ego the easiest, but possesses an ego so large that he claims his company no longer produces weaponry even though what he pilots is little more than an anthropomorphized weapon.
So the differences between what he professes and how he actually lives makes Tony Stark the Rosie O'Donnel of superheroes.
Yet Stark in terms of humility is an anchorite monk in comparison to Thor.
Thor's people, a race known as the Asgardians originating from a plane of existence beyond Earth, seem to have done little to dissuade early man from worshipping these transdimensional beings as gods.
Even Thor throughout the film continued to look down his nose at the human race when he insinuated mere earthlings were unworthy of laying hands upon beings from his realm no matter what earth laws such beings may have broken or how many human lives might have been destroyed.
Mary Poppins sang a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.
The cartoonish nature of The Avengers may just be what the doctor ordered to get viewers to contemplate the implications of those that would alter what it means to be human and in essence weaponize our underlying ontology.

Gay DC Comics Character The Version Of The Green Lantern With A Weakness For Hard Wood
At least I don't have to pitch out my extensive Batman wardrobe.
Interesting they would select a character to be gay in the Earth 2 version of the characters.
From my impression, these were the earliest version of the characters set primarily in the 1940's.
So unless things have changed, these stories will no doubt be used to denigrate U.S. History and the foundations of American culture rather than a full on frontal assault.

MD Legislator's Priorities Warped In What Life Is Worth Preserving
During the 2012 session, the Maryland State Legislature considered the abolition of the death penalty.
Opponents of the practice argued that not everyone receiving the sentence actually committed the crime of which the judicial system found them guilty.
However, having only carried out the practice five times since 1977, it is doubtful such miscarriages of justice have been perpetrated all that often in the jurisdiction under consideration.
State Senator Lissa Gladden, a sponsor of the legislation, said, "I think as a community and a government that we should not be in the business of killing people."
Senator Gladden certainly has a warped way of implementing that ethical assumption.
According to Maryland Right To Life Incorporated, Gladden voted for stem cell funding that placed no limits on the destructive harvesting of human embryos.
The legislator also voted against an amendment that would have limited taxpayer funding of abortions for reasons of mental health; in other words, for women in a panic that a pregnancy might leave them with stretch marks during swimsuit season.
So in her eyes, if you are a murderer or a rapist, Gladden believers your life is so precious that it is worth saving no matter the horror or carnage you may have wrought in other people's lives.
However, if you happen to rank among the most innocent or defenseless members of society, Senator Gladden has little problem with snuffing you out in the name of utilitarianism or convenience.
Proverbs 8:36 admonishes that those that hate God love death.
It may seem counterintuitive. But the effort to eliminate the death penalty, when coupled with the effort to legalize homosexual matrimony, indicates that the hatred of the Almighty in this particular state is approaching levels that threaten to unravel those social conventions established from on high designed to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness founded on true virtue.

Will Ministries Calling For Early Marriage Repair Shattered Lives?
Unless you are some kind of breakaway old school Mormon, marriage is a decision between an INDIVIDUAL man and an INDIVIDUAL woman.
Are groups that pressure these individuals into this decision going to pick up the pieces when lives are shattered when this union is gone into not out of a sense of love towards one's intended but rather to curry the approval of authority figures?
Likely not.
Many of these ministries and denominations pushing the young into early matrimony are among the same ones so lacking in a sense of forgiveness that they would forever sentence a person to a life of loneliness should an individual make a mistake in regards to this area of existence.
In the way a number use to invoke "separation" in regards to things they nebulously opposed but really couldn't but their finger clearly as to a reason why, it seems many Christians now are hurling the term "individualism" at practices they sneer down their noses at while wanting to cement the impression in the minds of those they are desperate for the approval of that they have embraced the lemming mindset.
In the story of violent tolerancemongers attacking diners in an eatery outside of Chicago, considerable detail was given to the criminal backgrounds of the victims insinuated as belonging to a White supremacist group. Had the roles been reversed with a rightwing militia attacking a group of Occutards, would a list of outstanding warrants been elaborated by the shiftless ant-capitalist deadbeats? Better yet, had this group gang-raped a woman, would her scanty wardrobe been described in detail or that she had a reputation as the town floozy? So if certain details are omitted to protect certain victims, shouldn't the less politically correct be extended similar protections?

Leftists In Uproar Over Unproduced Ad
Assorted leftists are in an uproar that a PAC favorable towards Romney considered producing an advertisement reemphasizing the relationship between Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright.
Critics claimed the television spot would be potentially racist and that candidates ought to refrain from negative campaigning.
So if there was a theoretical Republican conservative that held membership in the World Church of the Creator or some other Christian Identity congregation for over 20 years and considered the pastor an ideological mentor for much of that them, would such a religious shortcoming be quietly overlooked by the mainstream media?
If a candidate was running against Hitler, would it be improper to expose the links of National Socialism to anti-Semitic secret societies? If one was running against Stalin, would it be an outrage to point out that tyrant's past as a bank robber?

Why are we obligated to feel sorry for women that kill themselves through coat hanger abortions? Would sympathy be extended to a wife beater who, in attempting to assault his wife, fell down the stairs and expired as a result of a broken neck? If they deliberately inflict this mutilation on themselves and we are suppose to flagellate ourselves just because they are women, isn't this an admission that women are so mentally deficient as to not to be held accountable for their own behavior?

A hardcore Christian Reconstructionist in a Facebook post has condemned a church with a booth at a local street festival for assuring those that pass by that Jesus loves them. In such a setting, one doesn’t have opportunity to convey a complete 500 page systematic theology in an encounter likely to not even last an entire minute. Like it or not, you aren’t going to get the average person to learn more about your church by berating them over what a horrible person they are.
Advocates of increased levels of surveillance insist that, if you have done noting wrong, you have nothing to worry about. The thing of it is is that there are now so many laws and fiat regulations that often carry harsher penalties than actual laws that nearly everything a person can conceivably do is in violation.

Those Ashamed Of America Shouldn't Make A Penny Off The Name
Though at one time barely considered worthy of the appellation of literature, scholars of popular culture have today established the thesis that comic books and other forms of media expression derived from these illustrated periodicals serve as a snapshot of the perspectives and assumptions prevalent at particular points in American history.
Certain characters and series evoke more reflection on certain aspects of culture and ideas than others.
For example, the Fantastic Four evoke reflection upon the loving but some times contentious relationship inside a family. The plight of the X-Men have been compared to assorted struggles for civil rights and social acceptance.
Likewise, the two characters that most epitomize what it means to be an American are none other than Superman and Captain America.
Interestingly, in recent interpretations of these characters, creators have done nearly everything in their artistic power to disassociate these characters from the nation as a whole.
For example, as almost as iconic as his bright red cape and the oversized “S”-shaped insignia on his costume is the credo summarizing his never-ending struggle for truth, justice and the American way.
However, the film “Superman Returns” poopooed those noble sentiments when Perry White instead uttered “Truth, justice, and ALL THAT STUFF.”
Given that Superman is from another planet and suppose to be the epitome of humanity (hence the name SUPERMAN), one might at least understand that the renowned Kryptonian might want to remain somewhat aloof from taking sides in the common conflicts plaguing the world and instead focus on those threats far beyond powers and abilities of mortal men.
A character named “Captain America” doesn't have such a luxury.
Even if Captain America disagrees with a policy of the United States government at any particular time such as in the case of the Marvel Civil War where a law was passed requiring costumed adventurers to publicly reveal their secret identities, the character must be identified with those values upon which the nation’s foundation rests and which true heroes must call institutions back to.
If one if going to rake in a fortune off of a character with a name like Captain America, the least you can do is not to view the word “America” in the same category as the vilest of profanities.
However, producers allowed the option of dropping the name Captain America from the title in overseas markets.
This is the equivalent of not wanting to call Superman “Superman” because part of the name offends feminists or because the prefix “super” offends hyper-egalitarians and fanatic pluralists denying the existence of gradations of value.
The countries that were listed as taking up distributors on the offer included Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea.
Russia and Ukraine might be understandable.
After all, both of these countries were once part of the Soviet Union and the totalitarian tendency at the heart of Communism in that part of the world is likely not as dead as Americans have been led to believe.
South Korea is a different story.
Since the 1950's, Americans have died and put their lives on the line to protect the lower half of that disputed peninsula.
If anything, South Korea ought to be at the front of the line pledging its support for Captain America being called “Captain America”.
Sophisticates might sneer down their noses at concern being expressed over a mere comic book character and movie.
However, it won’t be a laughing matter should those responsible for these forms of cultural expression undermine the perception of this nation as a shining city on a hill that is our last best chance on earth.

Quite revealing. The Pentagon rendered assistance to the producers of The Transformers but not The Avengers. So apparently government officials are willing to admit that there might be a covert struggle with intelligences from beyond this planet but the suggestion that there might be an ultrasecret organization manipulating the strings behind world events is a truth that the government must do everything in its power to curtail the dissemination of.
Contrary to what has been posted on the Facebook profile of one particular Reconstructionist, individual Christians do not necessarily have to ask ourselves why God has imposed a god-hater upon the presidency, insinuating the situation is somehow the fault of the average Christian. It is only the fault of those Christians that voted for him.

So if these aliens are to be this season of Young Justice's primary antagonists, does that mean that viewers are going to have to read most of the dialogue in subtitles? Given that most of the viewers of that program are of a bookish inclination to begin with, you'd think producers would take pity on those with diminished eyesight.
At the school where I vote, there hangs a sign notifying that during school hours visitors are required to show photo identification in order to enter the building. Given that the majority of the students are Hispanic (many with foreign born parents), that means at least one or two things. First, it means more Hispanics have legitimate forms of ID than the fuss raised about the issue in the leftist media. Secondly, if they do not, that means the public school system is granting access to children by adults for whom legitimate identification cannot be satisfactorily verified in the eyes of the state by utilizing the same standard imposed upon those of us belonging to the despised racial majority.
A series of readers aimed at Hispanic youth are titled "What It's Like To Be..." Each of the figures featured in the series is of Latino origins. Will there be an edition about George Zimmerman? If these youth are to read about fellow Hispanics, does that mean Whites should read primarily about Whites? How about a series of books about what it is like to be an American and how one ought to live by American standards when residing in the United States such as speaking English and not playing loud music in the wee hours of the night.
Diversitymongers are having a hissy fit over a cartoon of Obama "woking the dog". So it is racist if we assume that the other cultures of the world eat and cook as average Americans do. But it is also apparently racist to observe that other cultures do not eat and prepare food in the same way as Americans do.
Michael Savage insists that unless you have children, you have no business talking about family values. So will he remain consistent and invalidate the teachings of the Roman Catholic church? These fundamental values are universal values. One does not have procreate to oppose those that beat their spouses or progeny, shack up outside benefit of matrimony, and proceed to breed under the auspices of such illicit living arrangements.
The raging debate on the cover of the May 2012 edition of Art News is “Naked or Nude?”. Mind you, these are the very same effetes that insist no standards exist anyway. And if you are at the point of placing the unclothed human form on public display, you are pretty much at the point where it doesn’t really matter what you call it.

Christian School Propagandizes On Behalf Of Trayvon Martin
At Clinton Christian school in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, DC, students gathered in hoodies at a makeshift prayer vigil in support of Trayvon Martin.
Does the school intend to hold a rally in support of George Zimmerman as well if it turns out Martin instigated the physical aspect of the confrontation?
More importantly, does the school intend to hold a rally in support of the elderly couple that fled their home following death threats after Spike Lee posted the incorrect address for what the racially obsessed film producer thought was the alleged gunman's father?
It must also be asked, with the way things are done in Christian schools in order to coerce mass conformity, what threats were leveled against students not wanting to participate in such blatant activism?
It was been reported that Mr. Martin vandalized his school with graffiti and may have possessed on school premises a bag containing marijuana residue.
Back in my day where I attended Christian school, the ENTIRE student body would be denied the “privilege” of expelling concentrated metabolic and digestive wastes at the preferred time of one’s own body over less.
Though it is regrettable that Trayvon Martin perished in an altercation he may have instigated, it is rather ironic that a Christian school would elevate as worthy of adoration and emulation a figure that in all likelihood would have been expelled for his behavior.
Devoted Christian parents spend good money to protect their offspring from the manipulative debasement of American culture taking place in the public schools.
Any private school that allows such one-sided grandstanding to take place before all the facts have been established has betrayed not only this financial trust but also the sacred aide parents plead for in assisting them to raise their offspring in light of values honoring to both God and country.

Was Bob Jones University Student Expelled For Watching Glee?

As a private institution, Bob Jones administrators should be able to run their institution as they see fit. Likewise, we Christians not wanting our lives micromanaged are just as free not to go there and to warn others about excesses.

State Department Denies Terrorism Still Exists
WashingtonExaminer.com
If the War on Terror is over as one State Department functionary proclaimed, shouldn't we abolish the more onerous provisions of the Patriot Act such as those allowing the government to snoop through our library records and kick off the government payroll perverts doubling as security personnel in the nation’s airports? If there is no war against terror but the state continues to enforce these deprivations of liberty and personal dignity, aren’t we living in a police state bordering on dictatorship?

Rush Limbaugh insists New York Times staff on the verge of losing their pensions are getting what they deserve because of what the journalists have written over the years and for how they have voted. One could make a similar argument regarding Limbaugh’s deafness and cardiac events in light of his struggle with drug abuse.
Watching the Price Is Right, one should not be assaulted by Earth Day propaganda. One of the eco-conscious showcases featured a trip (no doubt consuming unnecessary fossil fuels) to the Spotted Dog Cafe. The establishment not only sounds like a place President Obama would like to eat but also what he would like to order from the menu.
And how does Rush Limbaugh suggest the aged unable to work or forced from gainful employment by physically superior youth pay for healthcare? And don’t tell me they should have saved enough by then. I know of someone whose nursing home care is $9000 per month. Most of us never even make that much per month. Should those of us that never will forfeit our right or privilege of continued existence?

Regarding the Violence Against Women Act up for reauthorization before Congress. Firstly, unless there is companion legislation specially protecting men, this law technically violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Secondly, since these crimes occur within the border of one particular state, why should they be of national federal concern?

Whoring Secret Service Agents Deserve No More Respect Than Drunken Paper Pushers
Sean Hannity is apprehensive about discussing the Secret Service prostitute scandal because of deep respect he possesses for the agency.
Then shouldn't he be as reluctant in detailing the GSA convention shenanigans as not every member of that agency participated in that squandering of taxpayer funds either?
Law enforcement or military personnel that betray the trust of the American people are deserving of no more respect than any other public employee that fails to live up to their obligations.
And they are perhaps even more deserving of greater condemnation since, unlike errant paper pushes caught going wild on someone else's dime, when these servants neglect their obligations the innocent could very well end up losing their very lives.

The special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case snidely remarked that, unless one has been involved in a similar kind of case, we mere serfs can't possibly understand the complexity of the issues involved. So perhaps George Zimmerman should point out that, unless a rampaging is beating your head against concrete, you can't possibly understand the necessity of defending yourself with such decisive force.

If Cuban Americans rampage in the streets wanting to deny the expression of ideas that they oppose, what makes them really all that different at their core than the dictator they claim to oppose? It’s just that they have not yet been able to violently put down their adversaries. So I guess the moral of the story is that opposing anyone opposing the prevailing ideological consensus should have an array of persecutions inflicted upon them ranging from outright existential liquidation to the deprivation of livelihood. Granted, the Florida Marlins are well within their rights contractually to dismiss an employee propagating an embarrassing message. However, one would think a group claiming to know the pains resulting from a disregard for freedom would be a bit more reluctant imposing a blossoming tyranny of their own.
Mayor Bloomberg has announced a campaign to abolish Stand Your Ground Laws across the countries that allow the individual to defend themselves against violent assault. As a mere municipal official, what business is it of Bloomberg what the laws are in another state. Perhaps rural sheriffs should now interject themselves into the policies decisions of Babylon on the Hudson. And if the average citizen cannot protect themselves with firearms, why ought police be permitted to?
Eric Holder has assured that Americans feel the pain of Trayvon Martin's parents. How about the pain of the White child set afire for daring the answer a Black history question? How about the pain of the elderly White man in Ohio nearly kicked to death by rampaging Trayvonites? Or how about the pain of the elderly couple driven from their home as a result of inaccurate tweets on the part of Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr? But I guess the victims of these crimes insufficiently resemble the visage of our exalted leader.

Most art critics are leftwing deviants anyway. Nearly everyone has heard of Thomas Kincaid. How many foo-foo art critics can you name? Thomas Kincaid's art emphasized the good, the true, and the beautiful. Most contemporary art emphasizes despair, the degraded, and the profane.

Clucking Biddies Henpeck President
At a White House forum on woman's issues where President Obama was to be henpecked by a bunch of clucking biddies, he announced that his healthcare legislation included domestic violence screening.
The thing about bureaucrats is that they end up finding what they want to see even if what they are initially charged with looking for really isn't there.
So expect these investigations to go beyond black eyes and broken bones.
It must be warned that to these nags a man doing nothing more than raising his voice in frustration at a wife that's been texting all day rather than cleaning house or merely disrupting a woman during a verbal berating constitutes abuse of the first order.

An integral part of Obamacare is the curtailment of medical procedures to those deemed to be a poor return on the investment. Perhaps one of the procedures that ought to be abolished is artificial insemination, especially for the unmarried.

An associate insists it is inappropriate for a woman to openly criticize a pastor. The associate also invokes some of the same Scriptures opposing women speaking in church and holding ecclesiastical office to oppose the involvement of women in politics. Thus, it must be asked, if the hardline Reconstructionist allies of this associate ever seize power, what would prevent them from eventually enacting laws and regulations that would abolish the public expression of women altogether?
Do The Ultrapious Want To Silence Women?
An associate has raised the issue if it is proper for a woman to express her disagreement with the pastor over an ecclesiastical concern.
I say let a couple of deacons place a pillowcase over her head and drag her down to the kitchen.
Some scullion duty should silence her spiteful tongue.
What's gotten into women these days thinking they can just speak to any man they aren't even related to?
Seriously though, there is nothing in Scripture forbidding a woman from sharing thoughts and concerns with the pastor.
I Corinthians 14:34 says, "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak...And if they will lean any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
This would seem to indicate during the church service.
Would pastors rather for the sake of their own egos prefer women to lie as women walk out the church door and act as if all things are hunky-dory?
If this injunction is to be absolute, shouldn’t we also condemn those women congratulating the pastor as to how wonderful they found the message to be?
I guess soon, as in the case of Barbara Streisand and pre-World War II Japanese emperors, we mere lay people won’t even be allowed to gaze upon clergy.

Boomeranging Your Own Business
In discussing the phenomena of boomerang children where young adults return to live with their parents, the hosts of the WMAL morning show conducted the discussion as if the trend was disgusting and shameful.
It was even asked if those engaged in the practice ought to be embarrassed.
Did this particular program take a similar tone discussing the Flukeys out having so much sex that they demand that birth control be provided for them at public expense?
Has it been asked on this station if those having children outside of marriage ought to be embarrassed or the increasing number shacking-up without sanction of matrimony?
These practices are condemned from the pages of Scripture and religious tradition.
On the other hand, provided the young adults are not abusing their parents or on the public dole as a result of their own indolence, the pages of Holy Writ are quite silent regarding young adults that decide to live with their parents.
The Hebrew Patriarchs such as Isaac lived with their parents well into their adulthoods.
Interesting, when it happens to be regular Americans that are usually White in terms of their ethnic backgrounds and genetic phenotypes that live together as extended family it is apparently a living arrangement one step above cultic or abusive in terms of social condemnation.
However, if nearly entire Central American villages pile into single family domiciles, one is denounced as racist or jingoistic if one reacts with anything other than fawning praise of how beautifully family oriented and delightfully communal for a practice that drags essentially drags down property values and makes neighborhoods less desirable places in which to live.

Where Will Cylon Sinks Lead Next?
In a public restroom, these new cylon sinks are a delight as one doesn't have to touch a filthy faucet for the water to turn on.
However, the question must be asked.
At some time in the future, will government force this upgrade on the residential sector?
No longer would individuals be allowed to determine for themselves whether the water will be cold or hot.
Instead, a bureaucrat will determine the tepid in between.
Don't laugh.
Need one be reminded of low flush toilets?
Already, utility authorities are taking steps through the proliferation of so-called "smart meters" so that they might ultimately be the ones to make your climate control decisions for you.
Eventually, those insisting on determining for themselves the temperature of their water will be painted as opposing energy conservation or exhibiting burn sensitivity in children.

Pathetic Black Father Exhibits Ethnic Favoritism By Allowing Indian Tribe To Slaughter Bald Eagles
If American Indians can be granted an exemption to laws protecting bald eagles, why can’t Catholics and conservative Evangelicals be granted an exemption for having to provide abortion and birth control coverage to the carnally incontinent?
Religious leftists will no doubt work themselves up into an outrage that most Southerners still don’t cotton up to the notion of interracial marriage. It is claimed there is nothing in Scripture forbidding the individual from believing in interracial marriage. But neither is there saying in the Bible that you are required to believe in it.
A Gingrich campaign ad mocks Mitt Romney by insinuating that the former Massachusetts governor isn't the type to pump his own gas. And you are going to tell me Gingrich pumps his own regularly? And what about Gingrich's high maintenance ball-and-chain. Didn’t he about go into bankruptcy trying to placate her with fancy trinkets?

The head of the NAACP is flying to Switzerland to sing to a UN rights of organization of how nobody knows the troubles he's seen. It seems laws in America requiring not only that shiftless minorities must show identification but that also make provision for state personnel to chauffer you to get your idea are an atrocity of near historic proportions. Wouldn't UN efforts be better directed at investigating other alleged outrages such as the forced virginity examinations in Egypt?

Leftist Commemoration Undermines Resolve Against Terror
Yes. Perhaps this is being posted a bit late. However, the points are still valid. If you are going to be that condescending, perhaps you should be reminded that you seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time online obsessively reading columns and articles of those you snidely dismiss as less accomplished than yourself.
It is said that the only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history. Following the attack on 9/11, the nation's leaders as epitomized by the members of Congress joining on the steps of the Capitol in patriotic chorus vowed that they would be vigilant against the laxity of policy and perspective that left the door wide open allowing such a tragedy to transpire in the first place. However, in the decade since then, little has changed in the hearts of many that would prevent an occurrence of similar or greater magnitude from happening again in the future.
Under the auspices of the National Cathedral, an interfaith memorial was to be held in Washington, DC. Since the President and a number of representatives from a variety of religious perspectives were scheduled to speak at the service, the event was billed as and assumed to be one promoting an inclusive brand of diversity and spirituality.
It is estimated that nearly 20% hold to a theology or worldview classifiable as Evangelical in nature. Critics might respond that is only a small percentage of the population and as such the perspective should not be catered to with a proverbial seat on the dais.
If that is the case, then why should a number of other faiths have been included that did next to nothing in laying the foundation upon which this country was built or offer little in addressing the 9/11 attack. One could argue that, at least, Islam should have been allowed on stage to offer an apology for the entire awful mess.
The number of Hindus, Buddhists and Jains in this country no doubt come in at a percentage far below that of the Evangelical Right. A number of these Eastern faiths are emphasized over that of Evangelicalism because of the tendency of these creeds of the Orient to ignore the reality of the troubles plaguing mankind rather than addressing how to really resolve them as in traditional Christianity.
Leftwing religionists, such as those organizing the memorial service sponsored by the National Cathedral, despite clinging to the Christian name do not like to admit evil manifesting in human lives known as sin exists. Pantheism --- the philosophical backbone of Hinduism --- denies the objective reality of sin altogether.
Popular conceptions of Hinduism further down the chain of enlightenment consist of an infinite number of gods (though adherents of a multiplicity of deities still get as jacked out of shape as a monotheistic Jew if a family member comes to Christ as Lord and Savior). However, among elites, the multitude of divinities are not so much distinct personalities but rather representations of the singular unified reality known as “Brahman”.
In fact, according to the adherents of this outlook, we ourselves are not really independent consciences distinct from the comprehensive totality (“Atman is Brahman”). What we perceive as the self is merely an illusion. This is summarized by the teaching of “maya”.
Thus, instead of grappling with the overwhelming horror of sin on such a grand scale as an objective reality such as 9/11, the Eastern perspective just glosses it all over by insisting that the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon never really happened in the ultimate sense. And if by some small chance that it really did, such an act at its core couldn’t possibly be evil at its most profound depth. One of the beauties the pantheist insists upon in the All Is One mentality of philosophical monism is that at such a level everything is beyond the limited concepts of good and evil.
One religion invited to the interfaith prayer service is so obscure that it is a safe wager that the majority of Americans have likely never heard of it and even fewer understand it. It was in all likelihood selected as it represents the kind of religion Episcopalian elites would like to impose upon the masses in the future.
As a system of belief, there is very little that Jainism can provide to defend a civilization against the onslaught of terrorism. It does posses a number of tenets that are the equivalent of where liberalism ends up if followed to its logical conclusions.
For example, Jainism does not believe in a personal God as found in the monotheistic traditions. Rather, what is thought of as the ultimate has more in common with a form energy. When considering Jainism, one is reminded of Yoda in “The Empire Strikes Back” when he describes the Force of that series as “surrounds us. binds us.”
As such, a ratiocinative consciousness cannot be seen as the characteristic separating the higher order lifeforms more worthy of additional ethical concern and reflection. Since this characteristic is not possessed by what Paul Tillich would categorize as the ultimate concern of this creed now under consideration, those life forms possessing it are no more superior or much higher along the chain of being than those that do not.
The way this principle manifests itself is reminiscent of how things would operate if PETA had its way. Jainists are fanatic vegetarians. Not only do they refuse to eat meat, but they also sweep the ground in front of them so as to not inadvertently step on any bugs.
Jains also wear a cloth over their mouths and also abstain from certain vegetables so as to avoid inflicting undue harm on microorganisms. In other words, during the outbreak of a killer epidemic, if they want to remain philosophically consistent, they would have to remain no more in favor of the triumph of man over germ than germ over man in such a biological survival of the fittest.
Certain schools of Eastern thought construed through a Western New Age mindset hold that we create our own reality, largely through how we conceptualize the world around us. This has to be the reason to justify how the Obama administration decided to commemorate the anniversary of September 11th.
To fully appreciate what happened that tragic day, one cannot avoid who it was and what motivated these scumbags to carry out an act of such evil that the average person cannot fully grasp the magnitude of the deed's animus. By emphasizing this act of Islamist terror, the nation would be reminded that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance and that there exists those in the world whose highest goal is the destruction of that with which we have been blessed.
Instead, the Obama administration issued directives that the specifics of the attack were to be downplayed (as if the Twin Towers simply collapsed and a large gaping whole split the Pentagon all on their own). Instead, government officials and spokesmen were to present a "positive forward looking narrative" emphasizing trivialities such as community service.
However, some things that happen aren't positive. To be historically accurate, one cannot deny or sweep under the rug that several thousand Americans died that day and who it was that killed them.
Religion and/or spirituality is one of the most important pillars embraced by an individual influencing how they will cope with what transpires in the world around them. And though the state should have virtually no say in determining what path one ultimately decides upon for oneself, it has to be admitted that some creeds optimize one's chances of survival over others in that they approach the world as it actually exists rather than how we would like it to be.

And though the state should have virtually no say in determining what path one ultimately decides upon for oneself, it has to be admitted that some creeds optimize one's chances of survival over others in that they approach the world as it actually exists rather than how we would like it to be.

Tolerancemongers Issue Death Threats Against Rush Limbaugh
Seems to me calling for someone's murder is a greater verbal faux pas that calling someone a slut that expects everyone but the responsible party to finance a promiscious lifestyle.
Those that want to be such sticklers as to verbally ream those wishing them an innocuous “good luck” shouldn’t be surprised that they will be bestowing this admonishment decreasingly over time. However, it is not because people are taking your message to hurt. It is more likely that they are avoiding you altogether because no one wants to be berated for simply attempting to extend a little human kindness.
Homeschool Leader Calls For The Abolition Of Social Security
On the 2/27/12 edition of Generations Radio, Kevin Swanson advocated the abolition of Social Security.
And what is to be done with the elderly that, for whatever reason, didn’t have the opportunity to procreate?
Many such as Swanson would likely suggest that such individuals become wards of the church.
But is it such a wise idea to give churches that degree of authority over the life of an individual where whether or not you receive care is dependent upon ascent to a particular congregation’s doctrinal peculiarities?
For example, will the pastor hold final sway as to whether or not you will be permitted to take a particular class of medication?

Obama's Fossil Fuel Hyocrisy
Obama condemns Americans for holding 2% of the world's oil reserves but for using 20% of the world's oil.
Before condemning us, perhaps he and his battle ax should not have revved up Air Force 1 or the motorcade to take dozens of lavish vacations and nearly one hundred rounds of golf.
If we have to sit our rearends home, even more so his.

Girl Scout Goons Demand Robbed Girls Still Render Tribute
If the organization's CEO makes a salary of around $300,000, you'd think she'd be willing to absorb the cost so as to not punish the victims of this crime.

So I guess it would be wrong now to call members of NAMBLA pedophiles since that is about the most vile thing a person can possibly be accused of. Or is such an assumption incorrect since the members of that particular criminal racket are men and not WWWWOMENNNN (that’s how these leftists pronounce that particular gender category).

One of those truths pounded into our heads incessantly by television over the years is that woman suffer higher rates of constipation than do men. So in the name of WWWWWWWomennnnnn's health will Obamacare provide laxatives and stool softeners for free or are they just not as glamorous as birth control pills?
Most Respect Needs To Be Earned
An associate is insinuating that Rush Limbaugh’s remarks regarding the testimony of Sandra Fluke before a congressional Democratic committee coupled with the broadcaster’s three divorces indicates a lack of respect for women.
Rush has given this woman all the respect she deserves.
He has neither laid hands on her or forced himself upon her though she's so easy that I doubt she'd refuse anyone.
Limbaugh's divorces don't really have any relevance to this issue.
He is not the one demanding public subsidy to finance his debauchery.
At least one of Limbaugh's divorces was the result that the little woman didn't like it he was not much for going out and partying.
So if one’s wife one day leaves you for being of a studious retiring nature, should we conclude that you "don't respect women"?
Conversely, are those making the assertion that Limbaugh’s divorces indicated a lack of respect for women going to make as big of a fuss that Limbaugh's former wives insufficiently respected men?
Women that want the level of respect where they are not called sluts should earn that honor.
One shouldn't be fawned over with a degree of deference just because of how their reproductive tract is hooked up.
Should a wife beater still be considered a gentleman and all manner of condemnation heaped upon those refusing to publicly recognize him in such a lofty manner?
Had this woman been a 500 pound diabetic demanding free insulin while confessing to Congress of consuming extravagant amounts of chocolate, wouldn’t she have been called a "glutton"?
If she was complaining to Congress about a Catholic university refusing to pay for her multiple abortions shouldn’t she be considered an accessory to murder?
Had Sandra Fluke confessed to the national legislature that she had embezzled millions of dollars wouldn’t one have called her a thief?
So why shouldn't someone that proudly testifies to the wanton escapades of herself and her classmates expect to be called exactly what they are?

Straight Out Of Central Casting
A screenwriter couldn’t pick a better name for a new Bond girl.
It seems sex addict Sandra Fluke’s name might correctly be pronounced “Fluk”?
So does make her mom “Mother Fluk”? Since she has such loose morals, does that make her a “cheap Fluk”?
If she really does go bankrupt from her acute promiscuity, would that make her a “worthless Fluk”?
If she falls down in the mud does that make her a “dirty Fluk”?
And most importantly, should she find herself alone in the dorm by herself, does that imply “Fluk herself”?
So if Sandra Fluke and Anthony Weiner ever got together, would the wedding invitation be pronounced "Fluk Weiner"? Maybe infamous AIDS activist Luke Sissyfag could serve as flower girl.

Sandra Fluke insists Rush Limbaugh's response to her consists of the kind of language men have traditionally used to silence women. Will she also heap condemnation on the kinds of things women say to control men such as threatening to call the police over nothing more than a raised voice or harsh tone?

The cover of the March 2012 issue of Christianity Today examines the state of Christian colleges. One of the headlines reads, “The Browning Of Campuses Catering To White Elites”. This is a euphemism claiming that these schools don’t pander enough to racial minorities by failing to brainwash students as to how they should feel guilty for being White and for holding all students irrespective of pigmentation to the same academic standard.
It’s not that Pat Buchanan is obsessed with race. He is merely advocating the survival of his own ethnicity or genetic kinsmen. That is the very same thing done by the leftist Jews wanting the commentator banned from the airwaves advocate for themselves but seek to deny to others. And what areas without White majorities are worth living in? Given the opportunity, usually even racial minorities rather live around White folks. So what will it be? Will you rather survive or rather be applauded as open-minded by liberal elites?
The God advocated by the Calvinist is an inherently schizophrenic deity. On the one hand, He commands sinners to repent and be saved. Yet despite supposedly being omniscient, God has apparently forgotten that He is the one pre-selecting whom will accept this salvation and whom will be tossed into Hell.
In announcing his death, ABC News Radio insinuated that Andrew Breitbart pulled news out of context. In announcing the death of Walter Cronkite, did the network emphasize how he was often a dupe of the Soviet Union and a shill for the establishment of world government? And when Dan Rather passes, will it be pointed out how his bias against Republicans ran so deep that he failed to corroborate allegations against George W. Bush?
Virginia Representative Jim Moran is outraged that children might be exposed to an advertisement posted a Washington, DC subway station telling President Obama to go to Hell. Did the Congressman raise objections when advertisements for female condemns were plastered all over the nation capital’s bus fleet under the auspices of the “DC’s Doin It” campaign since he is so concerned for the purity of innocent eyes?
If from criticism of Rick Santorum we are taught by our benighted archons that Satan does not exist, why is it wrong for an advertisement posted in a DC subway station to tell Obama to go to Hell? Because if Satan doesn't exist, shouldn't we also conclude that the clammy region of he netherworld is imaginary as well?

Critics of Act of Valor, a film reportedly featuring actual Navy SEALS, claim those starring in the film should stick with what they know, calling into question the quality of the cinematic thespianism. Perhaps we citizens should remember to vocalize that same suggestion when actors proceed to lecture us on nearly every topic under the sun.

Hillary Sides With Rabble Killing American Soldiers Instead Of Republican Candidates

Terrorist Sympathizers Disrupting Noonie Darwish Portrayed As Victims
Why shouldn't those disrupting a speech expect to get the snot knocked out of them?
Maybe a judge will recognize this as an inherent component of "Red Neck" culture if tantrums are to be legally applauded as an inherent component of an Islamic mindset?

Joe Scarborough remarked that transvaginal sonograms weren't the way to win swing voters (in other words those wanting to hack their unborn babies to pieces without a smeared conscience). Neither was desegregating lunch counters and water fountains. But don't some human rights need to take precedence over others?
If Obama apologized to Karzi over the burning of the Korans with Jihadist crib notes scribbled all over them, do the likes of the Taliban and the Afghan government intend to apologize over outrages perpetrated upon Christians. The only thing that Obama should have said in the letters is that, if the Afghan mobs didn't stop their rampaging, more than a few texts are going to be set aflame.

If good is epitomized by the supernatural personality referred to as "God", why should there not be a literal supernatural entity personifying evil? And if one is going to claim that actual evil does not exist, on what grounds does one insist it is wrong to mention the personification of evil in the consciousness known as "Satan"?
If a White philanthropist donates significant sums of money to a museum commemorating the achievements and struggles of the White race but not a similar museum memorializing the history of all American people, wouldn't the philanthropist be considered racist? Then shouldn't Oprah Winfrey be considered as such?

School Lad Blacklisted As Racist For Expressing Cross Cultural Curiousity

Some Mormons Less Cultic Than Others?
For obvious and justifiable reasons, a number of Evangelical leaders often cast a suspicious gaze at Mormon figures in American public life. After all, though the two systems of belief share a similar vocabulary at certain points and often both hold to traditionalist assumptions regarding social morality, these perspectives differ considerably regarding the nature of God as well as the origins and destiny of man.
However, the least that the orthodox Christian commenting on public affairs ought to do is to try and maintain some kind of consistent policy towards those advocating what could be considered a doctrinally questionable religious viewpoint. It seems that instead of basing such characterizations solely upon the beliefs such voices claim must take precedence above all other considerations, such analysis is often skewered in favor of those most likely to ensure that the particular pundit in question can retain a position as the water carrier of the entrenched political establishment.
For example, in his 9/16/11 commentary transcript, Cal Thomas mentions Rick Perry presenting his testimony before an audience at Liberty University. Thomas closes his brief analysis by concluding Perry's testimony isn't all that important beyond its existential value as it is more important how one's faith works itself out in a President's policies. Thomas astutely observers that believers have had the wool pulled over our eyes numerous times in terms of politicians saying one thing and doing another.
Thomas concludes, "But if Mitt Romney, a Mormon turns out to be better to defeat the President and advance policies with which most Evangelicals agree, then he should be the one the President's opponents get behind."
From the standpoint of an objective political calculation, Thomas is correct. However, since the publication of "Blinded By Might: Why The Religious Right Can't Save America" in which he and co-author Ed Dobson heaped criticism upon the Religious Right by exposing the shortcomings of Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority (an organization both men saw from the inside), Thomas has gone out of his way to downplay the role conservative Christians ought to play in politics.
Since Thomas's coauthor went from a standpoint of being apolitical to losing his marbles by taking on the less than kept grooming habits of an Old Testament prophet insisting that the Scriptures insist that the only properly cast ballot had to be for Barack Obama, you'd think Thomas might have realized he might have been duped into castigating conservative Christians into a state of hyperpious quietism. However, it seems Thomas continues advocating this perspective selectively whenever he thinks doing so might win him a few scraps of dwindling recognition from media and Republican elites.
For whereas we are suppose to gleefully march behind Romney (Thomas no doubt in part so he can ask the former Massachusetts governor who does the candidate's cranial dye job), his tone regarding Glenn Beck, another prominent Mormon, is markedly different.
In the transcript of the 4/11/11 Cal Thomas commentary, the columnist warns, "Beck is not only a Mormon, he frequently drifts into universalism." Writing in particular to the news of Beck's ouster from Fox News, Thomas muses, "They come and they go in this business...and eventually flame out..Put not your trust in princes and kings. That goes for show hosts, too."
This from the very same media figure that just a few paragraphs back was getting all aboard the Romney express.
Evangelicals do need to be cautious regarding Mormon theology. For example, in his book "The Real America: Early Writings From The Heart & Heartland", Beck said a number of things that would make a true believer's hair stand on with goosebumps had it come from the lips of anyone else.
In one passage, Beck said that he thought the Trinity, the idea that the Godhead is composed of the three distinct personages of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, was laughable and that there was no such thing as Hell.
Which brings us to another point. It is interesting how Beck can ridicule the most profound belied and mystery of the greatest number of Christians in the world (that being those that grant assent to the ecumenical creeds such as the Nicene) but the entire Republican Party stands ready to burn at the stake a single pastor that dared enunciate as to why he would not be endorsing Mitt Romney for the nomination.
What the pastor said was technically correct. If Americans inclined themselves a bit more towards religious reflection, they would know that the word "cult" does not necessarily denote a sect that ultimately meets with a violent end as a result of authoritarian leadership as in the cases of Johnstown, Heaven's Gate, and the Branch Davidians.
A cult can be any group that splits off from one of the larger world religions and is distinct from the parental creed it has separated itself from by either renouncing the more orthodox formulations of a doctrine or by promulgating a new dogma or revelation that the more orthodox adherents of the larger faith cannot embrace in good conscience.
For example, Mormonism holds that God was once a man not all that different than the rest of us who worked his way up to that status and that we too can also one day become deities over our own little planets as well. Traditional Christianity holds to the idea, that Beck snidely derided, that God exists externally from everlasting to everlasting in the form of three distinct unified persons. God is complete in Himself and does not grow or learn over time as claimed by the Later Day Saints.
The prominence played by Mormonism in the 2012 election cycle has presented American Christians in general and Evangelicals in particular with a unique set of challenges. On the one hand, believers are obligated by Scripture to speak in a firm but loving manner in defense of their own beliefs while pointing out distinctively where that faith is incompatible with Mormonism. And on the other, in a constitutional republic recognizing the freedom of religion we each posses as individuals created in the image of God, Mormon citizens have every right to engage in the same forms of civic participation that all Americans enjoy and sense a profound duty towards.

Has news of the invention of the fishing pole and net yet reached Hillybilly Handfishers? The next hit cable show will probably consist of those that hunt alligators by sticking their limbs into the mouths of the massive reptiles. Producers could probably find someone from either the deepest South or the New York metropolitan area stupid enough to do it.
The Golden Corral chocolate fountain looks like a health hazard waiting to happen. I can imagine the roaches and the rats each night taking a leisurely dip after the establishment closes. If diners can dip a piece of fruit into a chocolate fountain, just think what else they are sticking in their. I doubt they are given a crash course in proper food handling techniques before being allowed to plunge on in.
