Oh oh about the No Go on Miss O

Looks like a few people have shown their displeasure at Oprah's decision to not have on Sarah Palin until after the elections. Interesting.

Either you are for me or against me

Matthew 12:30 - "He who is not with me is against me..." a quote from Christ himself, "borrowed" at one time or another by George Bush.

I'm sure there are websites and writings out there in the ether about this very thing, but my own conclusion is this: wherever God has created something of value, something beautiful, something good, or something pure, satan will corrupt whatever it is, to bring about something of a similar, but much more malevolent, nature. He is the father of lies and deception, after all.

• God created life and mankind; satan strove to destroy both by using temptation, lies and half-truths.
• God created the healthiest and most stable of societal relationships: marriage between one man and one woman; satan's lies say that any group of people can get to gether and be called a "family."
• God specifically tells us that homosexuality is a grave sin; satan tells us that homosexuality, lesbiansm, transgenderism, etc., are just "another way of life" and they are as natural as any other, and are something to be proud of.
  
• God gave us Christ the Redeemer, and the cross; satan gave us religion.
• God told us to love all of mankind, even our enemies, and to help everyone: widows, children, and others; satan gave us ways to divide us...like politics!
• God created mankind to be above the plants and animals, and to use them for food and other things as needed. He also gave us soul and spirit that we might communicate with Him; satan says that humankind is evil, is trampling the earth, polluting the air and water, and that animals and trees have souls and are just as important as people.
• God tells us that a "quiverfull" of children is one of life's blessings; that every life, and every child, is precious, and that killing is a sin; satan tells us that overpopulation is destroying the planet, and that it is a woman's choice to kill her child in utero.
• God tells us that, because of Adam's first sin, we are all sinners to our very core, and the only way we can be redeemed is through salvation in Christ alone; satan says that all paths lead to God, to rely on our own "inner strength" and to "believe in yourself" in order to get through life.
  
• Christ says that Hell is real and without belief in Him, there is no hope; satan tells us if we're a "good person" we will go to heaven, or that if prayers are offered to someone's soul after they die, they can still get to heaven.
• We have one life to live and we will die once; satan, who masquerades as an "angel of light," deceives by telling us we can "follow the light" when we die, or that if we are a good person, our own goodness will get us to heaven, OR, we can be reincarnated over and over to amend for a previous life's sins.
• God tells us there is but one mediator between God and man, and that's Jesus Christ; satan says that it's okay to worship another human being because he is in the (very broken) "lineage" of one of Christ's disciples.
  
• God tells us to pray for others, and to be kind and loving; satan tells his followers to "kill the infidels," and masquerades as a false--and violent--"religion of peace."
  
• Christ tells us to be like little children--innocent, open and trusting--in our love for Him; satan tells his followers to bloody their own children, to offer them up for martyrdom, and to fill their minds with hatred toward anyone who is unlike them.
• Christ elevates the status of women, as in Him there is "no male and female;" satan tells his followers that women are less than second class, barely human, should cover themselves from head to toe, and can be killed for the least little offense.

So, which would you rather belong to?

What is 'proof'?

God tells us to have faith. But in our fleshly sinfulness, there is always doubt. Mankind tends to not believe unless he can actually see and touch something. Faith is hard! One of the best Biblical proofs of all is...well, tangible proof. Proof of life, proof of Biblical history and prophecies that have, are, and will, come to pass. Here are a few websites to that end:

Islam and Christianity: Side by Side

Here is a great website that shows the differences between what the Bible teaches and what the Koran teaches about life, fellow man, and how to treat life in general.

Helping the U.S. to implode

Hey, thanks, Keith Ellison.

Obama: "chronically restless"

I'm no psychologist, but I have known, and have worked for, people in my life who are classic over-achievers, usually stemming from some tragedy early in their lives, in order to prove themselves "worthy."

Barack Obama may be one of these. Along with "Frank," was any of this information acknowledged in either of his books?

"Someone once said that every man is trying to either live up to his father's expectations or make up for his father's mistakes, and I suppose that may explain my particular malady."

Planing Islamic Seeds of Hate in CHILDREN

A horrible and frightening slideshow.

If this "religion" isn't straight from the devil, I don't know what is.

JOHN 8:39-47

"Abraham is our father," they answered.

"If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does."
"We are not illegitimate children," they protested. "The only Father we have is God himself."

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Democrats must learn some respect

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Wonderful article in the Financial Times!

Couldn't happen to a nicer couple of guys :)

WOW! Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have actually been DEMOTED!!!

This strikes a HUGE blow to two of the most incendiary and liberal mouthpieces in the MSM! :D

"MSNBC is behaving like a heroin addict," one senior staff member observed. "They’re living from fix to fix and swearing they’ll go into rehab the next week."

And after this outburst from Olbermann on the last night of the RNC, the public backlash was undoubtedly fierce:

On the final night of the Republican convention, after MSNBC televised the party’s video "tribute to the victims of 9/11," including graphic footage of the World Trade Center attacks, Mr. Olbermann abruptly took off his journalistic hat.

"I’m sorry, it’s necessary to say this," he began. After saying that the video had exploited the memories of the dead, he directly apologized to viewers who were offended. Then, sounding like a network executive, he said it was "probably not appropriate to be shown."

This just goes to show that Olbermann is one of those "journalists" (a term I use very loosely) who jump from one crisis to the next, and 9/11 is just another "story" that's over and done with, and now should be swept under the rug.

Oooh, I can hear their egos exploding even now. :)

The Media's Plan to Destroy Palin

What scares the MSM in turn makes them behave like vicious rabid dogs.

How much time has the media devoted--in the same excruciating detail--to Joe Biden's history of plagiarism? Not nearly enough.
