ONE WEEK AGO...

(less one day) I was at the McCain-Palin rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin!!! (my home town) :-D

And here are the pictures to prove it. :)

Some of the best audience questions were asked at this rally, but the two that stuck out--and the two who have now gone on to YouTube and Internet fame--are the "angry man," and James Harris, a local black conservative talk show host.

That's right, I said it: black and conservative in the same sentence. O_o

There are a few out there, though sad to say, besides James (who told McCain that he's taken an "ass whooping" from his detractors), the only other black conservatives I can think of I can count on ONE hand: Michael Steele, J.C. Watts, Alan Keyes, Condie Rice, and Colin Powell (tho it seems this may be changing). Why is that? Do people of color see ONLY color in candidates, and refuse to hear the truth? Why that seems small minded and, dare I say it, racist!

Poor James, since the rally, he has actually received death threats about where he stands. But McCain must have taken James' plea to heart, because he definitely came out stronger in this last debate than the other two!

It was a very exciting day; I got to spend time with my parents, the weather was absolutely stunning, the people in line (about 5,000!) were warm and friendly, and the Obama protestors were few and far between. Almost the perfect day, IMO!

WHY OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT

For those of you who are still sitting on the fence (and of all elections, that seems like quite a stretch this late in the game), here are just some of the websites and blogs that bring up important points of why Obama should NOT become president of our country:

Bush's 'Resignation' Speech

I'm glad that this is a speech I will never hear in my lifetime, but felt I had to post it here because the "Bush" in this version brings up all the important topics that have been all but ignored by the MSM and all things Liberal. They really just don't get it.

-----

The following 'speech' was apparently written recently by a resident of Maine. While satirical in nature, all satire must have a basis in fact to be effective. This is an excellent piece by a person who does not write for a living.



The resignation speech George W. Bush should give:


Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.


I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses have occurred in this office. Unlike my predecessor.


The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.


Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, because of oil speculators, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.


We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied...People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could have easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.


Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named Clinton established that policy. Bet you didn't know that t, did you? Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks we just need to sit down and talk to Iran and things would be better (what the hell do you think we have been doing behind the scenes?), and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel. Did you sleep through high school or what?


You need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them.


That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and they are all over the globe, even in our country.


You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'


Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few weeks or a few months, tops. Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.


In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on any of the mainstream news media outlets. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.


I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.


I could say more about your belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.


So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there that Al Gore could only dream of having, and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.


Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008. Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you need to pull your heads out of your asses.


So that's it. God bless what's left of America.


Oh, and you might want to brush up on your Farsi and buy a Koran. Obama already has his copy.


McCain comes out swingin' in debate #3

FINALLY. John McCain got himself some chutzpah and came out swinging during debate #3, and Obama clearly seemed rattled at some of the responses McCain fired his way. I can only hope and pray that this helps narrow the gap between the two as we go into the home stretch. I know the Dems will be pulling out all stops to smear McCain and Palin running up to election day. Here are a few post-debate articles and other items:

McCain and Palin - the comeback kids

McCain and "spreading the wealth around."

Joe the Plumber - this one's for you.

"Don't get cocky"? They're already way past that.

Obama distorts his abortion record...again.

And don't forget the big differences on abortion in the two candidates.

McCain/Palin come to my home state!

And I was there! :-D

More on that in another post, as I am not at home to uplink my photos, but here are some articles that gives a taste of the event!

http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/30675874.html

The audience questions were AWESOME!

Consumers are watching every penny

With the Dow taking another tumble today, people more than ever are watching every penny in this financial crisis. And I have a feeling it may become worse before it gets better!

Moreover, people are also calling out to God during this strange and unsettling time.

Is God judging our sins?

This evangelist says "absolutely." And part of me agrees with him!

The truth about Palin? Find it here.

The anti-story, "Troopergate" continues to rear its ugly head. So the McCain campaign is fighting back here.

At times both candidates are to blame

McCain and Obama are far from perfect. Both make many mistakes.

Case in point: this on McCain, and this on Obama.

They both need to get on it and do what's right for the COUNTRY, not for themselves!

Young Christian Voters prefer Obama???

Are they so blind they cannot even judge a man by his very character and the people he associates with?

Apparently not, because this article claims that many young voters prefer Obama over McCain in the upcoming elections.

Could this be part of the "great deception" as mentioned in the Bible?

Public Schools Teach Islam but anything related to Christianity is verboten

This is very scary news, but obviously is the wave of the future, especially since Muslims are now pushing the envelope when it comes to anything involving Islam (i.e., foot baths, time out for prayer, etc.). However, it seems that telling outright lies about Islam's "influence" on the world should send up all sorts of red flags to everyone, yet I can guarantee that this will be cowtowed to like so many other Islam-related issues.

Oh, and this is happening courtesy of our taxpayer dollars, naturally.

Obama's "Faith Tour"?

Nobama is so wishy washy about his faith (whether Muslim or Christian, geez, just pick one!), as well as being very opaque about his background, so why should his attempt at pushing faith be any surprise?

Israel and the potential war with Iran

What these people don't understand is not only is this war potential, it's actually inevitable.

According to the Bible, there will be an attack against Israel by its 'neighbors' (and I use that term loosely) but it will result in their own destruction, as God will sovereignly protect Israel from harm. Sounds far fetched? With God, all things are possible!

This part is true: Israel will not wait to be destroyed if they have firm facts of an impending strike! Israel has always said it will not wait for the bomb to be ready.

War in the middle east, surrounding Israel will only stop when the antichrist declares a 7-year peace plan (and then, it will only last half that time), and when Christ returns to a new Jerusalem and a new Earth. Until then, war in the middle east will be a part of our lives.

More bias from the MSM left...and a response

According to Newsweek (part of the 'elitists' of the Left), Sarah Palin is too 'common' and too stupid (like the rest of us?!) to be Vice President. Oh, and she's 'dangerous' to boot.

Well, them's fighting words. So I sent a response to Newsweek:

-----

To: Letters@newsweek.com

Sent: Monday, October 6, 2008 11:59:37 AM

Subject: Response to Jon Meacham's Oct. 4 cover article on Sarah Palin


Wow. Mr. Meacham's elitist viewpoint and lack of both respect, and facts, in your cover story on Sarah Palin is so obviously biased, it stunned me. Mr. Meacham needs to do a bit more fact-checking before he writes. And he obviously does not put any faith whatsoever into our Constitution, because if he had bothered to check, he would have found that the qualifications for president of the United States stated in the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1 are these: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."


THAT'S IT. Ms. Palin meets all of these qualifications, plus she has the experience of both a mayor and governor of our nation's largest state. Mr. Mecham may also want to check into the backgrounds of the following and their own lack of experience: Bill Clinton spent 3 terms as governor of Arkansas, but had no federal or foreign policy credentials. If the Dems are so committed to foreign policy experience, why could they not find a more qualified opponent to take on George H.W. Bush? Even the New York Times's (Tom Friedman 10/4/92) said about Bill Clinton: "Under the pressure of a Presidential campaign, Gov. Bill Clinton has been trying to outline his own unique foreign policy, while at the same time fending off criticism from the Bush White House that he is a closet dove masquerading as a hawk and that his experience in world affairs is limited to breakfast at the International House of Pancakes." Also, Jimmy Carter, Spiro Agnew, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson all had little, if any, foreign policy experience before entering office.


You state in your article: "Do we want leaders who are everyday folks, or do we want leaders who understand everyday folks?"


Be careful, Mr. Meacham. The American public are not some kind of brainless drones, we actually think for ourselves, and we are looking for someone like us. Sarah Palin fultills both of those points, and is precisely the reason why she is revered by middle America!


Mr. Meacham also states: "Jackson, Lincoln, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton were born to ordinary families, but they spent their lives doing extraordinary things, demonstrating an interest in, and a curiosity about, the world around them. This is much less evident in Palin's case."


Really?!? How so? By whose standards, Mr. Mecham – surely not YOURS? The fact that she's lived her entire life as an achiever--basketball, college, journalist, beauty contests, a MOTHER OF FIVE, a Mayor and a Governor?—by those standards, what on earth could you then possibly call "extraordinary?" Personally I do call that extraordinary, if not downright amazing. Bill Clinton ran to Europe to escape the draft. I call that cowardice.


Mr. Meacham, your article is one of the most blatant illustrations of contempt, foolishness, partiality and snobbery that I have ever come across. You should be ashamed to call yourself a "journalist," because impartial you are not. It's painfully obvious that you're nothing more than just another shill for the liberal left. And those of us "Joe/Jane Six-Packs" and middle Americans are sick and tired of it. We're watching you very closely, and yes, we're "mad as hell and we're not taking it any more!"


Even the local news rag is part of MSM

The Dallas Morning News used to be a bastion of conservatism, but alas, no more. Even in conservative Texas, I've noticed a subtle, and lately, not so subtle, shift to the left. Case in point, today's news.

Today in Dallas, we had the honor of having Sarah Palin, fresh off the VP candidates' debate in St. Louis last night, for a fundraiser luncheon. I didn't get downtown to try and see her, but I wanted to look up the article on the DMN, since after all, it is the Dallas paper! But...I ran into a problem. See for yourself. (click to enlarge)



Finally had what I was looking for.

'Fireproof' burns up theaters!

"Fireproof," a Christian themed movie, starring Kirk Cameron, burns up theaters this past weekend by coming in at number four! The movie raked in $6.8 million in ticket sales, even though the movie was made for the unheard of sum of $500,000! The film was produced by Sherwood Baptist Church of Albany, Georgia, which is the same church that produced the movie, "Facing the Giants".

SMACKDOWN!

Bill O'Reilly, that Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, gives Barney Frank a verbal smack upside the head, something he sorely needed!

Karl Rove, "the architecht," lists 10 Factually Wrong Biden Debate Statements from the VP debate.

Dick Morris, political pundit extraordinaire, gives Alan Colmes a smackdown.

And...I just had to throw in this one, because...well...you'll see.

*giggle*

1.1 Million Americans have HIV

Out of a total national population of 300 million, the CDC states that 1.1 million of the nation has the AIDS virus.

That's as much as the entire metro area of the city I live in, Dallas.

Citigroup loses out to Wells Fargo

In the banking "clash of the titans" Wells Fargo has thrown its hat into the ring to duke it out with Citigroup, in the Wachovia buyout.

Mission Accomplished! Palin socks it to 'em!

In the Vice Presidential candidate debate last night between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, both candidates came out swinging--but kept it civil. I think once again "the moose is loose"! And if the MSM is any indication, the very fact that there is little Liberal fallout about Sarah Palin in today's news (at least, from the approx. 20 news outlets that I troll every day) must mean that she definitely did something right! :) Naturally, the MSM called Biden the winner OF COURSE! *eyeroll*

SP was great, she was allowed to be herself (finally...again!), which was the reason people fell in love with her in the first place. Over the last few weeks, her handlers had all but put her into a hermetically sealed bubble, where she was primped, revamped and stiffened to within an inch of her life.

But last night, she hit it out of the park! She touched on all the necessary talking points and rebutted everything Biden threw out. She was humorous, upbeat, professional, prepared and polished, and unlike JB, talked directly to the camera (to the people!) rather than to Gwen Ifill, the moderator. I also liked the fact that she wore an American flag pin well within the range of her camera closeups! Even Gwen Ifill kept herself in check, though there was a point or two where she interrupted Palin...but not Biden. Definitely not the best moderator overall, IMHO.

One thing I noticed about Biden is that it seemed like it took all he could muster to keep it together at certain points. Many times when Palin was speaking, when the camera cut over to Biden, he had the snarkiest, most condescending grin on his face as if to say "little lady, you are so out of your league, you might as well cash it in right now." Biden is a formidable debater, but Palin certainly held her own against him. We don't know what the future holds for us in this election, but I have no qualms about having Sarah Palin as this country's Vice President...or should it come to it, as our PRESIDENT!

Plus of all the candidates, there's just no way around it, she's the best looking one out there! :)

However, there was a moment during the debate that I just KNOW some comedy group will run with. For the first 15 minutes or so of the debate, part of SP's bangs seemed "stuck" to the eyelashes on her left eye, and every time she blinked, the bangs wiggled. And with the camera on her so tightly, it was very noticeable. I kept mentally screaming at her to push her hair out of the way! Finally when the camera cut to Biden I saw her quickly brush it out of the way...but I just know that will be fodder for SNL!

Watch the debate in its entirety here.

Are terrorists planning something around elections?

I received a forwarded email from a friend that a rumor is floating around about a terrorist attack around the elections. Yikes. I cannot verify it, but it would not surprise me if they tried something at that time.

Al-Qaeda knows that an attack before the election would help elect Republican Sen. John McCain, Stremmel says. The terrorists would prefer Democratic Sen. Barack Obama because they believe he would swing the pendulum back to more lenient anti-terrorism policies, Stremmel says.

The months following the election or inauguration of the new administration is prime time for an attack, he says. They will want to impact the new administration and its policies. There is a history of Islamic terrorists wanting to make life miserable for successive administrations.

That is why al-Qaeda attacked the U.S. less than eight months after President Bush took office.

New Phenom: weird and creepy "babies"

I just watched a BBC television program last night featuring a strange new "phenomenon." I don't know how new it is, but it was definitely disturbing and very sad. In the way that many people have made their pets their "furry children" in order to fulfill some type of parental hole in their lives, apparently there are also people who spend BIG bucks on...fake babies. And I'm talking big bucks as in, on eBay, one was going for nearly $1,500!

They are called "reborns", but they are quick to note: "New Reborn baby ~ Not Fake Baby ~ Realistic skin tones." Not a fake baby? Hmm.

Granted, they are rather cute, and the people who create these dolls are true artists, because these dolls look SO incredibly real, they could fool any expert. They have human like hair, delicate features, skin veining, perfectly painted lashes, lips and nails, are weighted to feel like a baby, and some can even "breathe" or have a heart that "beats."

The sad part of this TV program was that the women who bought these dolls strolled around town with their "babies" dressed in baby clothes--in a pram (stroller)--even through a crowded playground, where surely the mothers of the children playing would stop to ask questions about the baby in the stroller. One of the women in the story said that these dolls gave her all of the pleasures of a baby, with none of the mess, none the crying, none of the illnesses and expense, etc. All the joy, none of the guilt, apparently. Are these the same type of people who, if it were available, would want the genetically perfect baby, with the perfect hair, features, skin? It just seems like such a sad, hollow grasp of reality, and is another symptom of our growing "me-dominated" society where anything and everything goes. Even Boing Boing agrees.

Below are pictures of some of these dolls. Click on the pictures for larger images.









Finally a BIT of backbone!

Here are a couple of interesting (and humorous) articles about a couple of left leaning folks getting their just desserts.

First, Maureen Dowd.

Next, reporter fired.

*snicker*

As an aside to the Maureen Dowd story, what do you notice (link) that is painfully absent from the results of the Google search on this story??? How about: none of these results are from LIBERAL news sources! Imagine that!

AIDS virus spread much earlier than thought

Very interesting medical news.

the hits from China keep on coming

"Made in China" is now becoming something you NEVER want to see on your food products. Yuck.

Sickness of society knows no bounds

Australia also has its own share of deviants.

121 Caught in Child Porn in Spain

Porn as a whole may be the world's most secret sin, but child porn is so dark, disgusting and insidious, I personally would not be averse to having the death penalty for those who promote things like child porn and especially child rape.

In Spain, this is only the tip of one iceberg.

The things you can buy on eBay

Some of the terrorists might be brutal, they might be wiley...but sometimes they're not too bright. Case in point, this item recently purchased on eBay.

Even publishing houses are fearful

WHAT kind of world are we living in where an entire publishing house closes its doors for fear that Islamic violence may be directed against it because of a book its publishing?

Calif voters SUPPORT abortion notification

As liberal and left leaning as California is known for being (land of "fruits and nuts"), there is a conservative contingency that shows its head every once in awhile. This is one of those times.

PERSECUTION: purging Christians from India

There will ALWAYS be radical, fundamental groups in any religion.

People, as fallen sinners, will always lean toward the "darker path" of things. Hinduism, as a whole, seemed to be one of the more peaceful world religions, since they believe in "karma" and such. However, in Orissa, India, there has been much violence and persecution against anything that is Christian related. New Christians, former Dalits or "untouchables", the lowest caste of the low, are trying to remain strong. However, this may only be the beginning, and things may get worse before they get better for these people.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THOSE IN ORISSA!

Remember Christ said: "they will hate you because they first hated me."

  • Democrat (or Liberal) = see this blog entry

in JESUS' name, amen!

This is what happens when people pray in the name of Jesus. Praying in GOD's name is OK, but when you say "Jesus" people freak out. People don't seem to realize that they are one in the same.

Case in point, the effort to reinstate 86 military chaplains were recently fired or dismissed for praying in the name of Jesus.

MSM once again ignores Obama related items

Here are a few articles pointing out the obvious - that the MSM goes to great lengths to ignore anything relating to Obama that might show him in a negative light.

SNL skit ignored.

ABC makes up news.

Obama's war bracelet. And followup.

The presidential debate.

The evil that children do

Matthew 10:21"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death."


This is probably one of the strangest and most egomaniacal, self-involved "defenses" I have ever heard, and is just another symptom of our rampantly sick society.

WHY ARE WE IN THIS ECONOMIC MESS???

Take 10 minutes out of your day to find out why.

When idiots attack - the latest from Peta

OK. I really try not to use words like "idiot", but in the case of Peta, I just can't help myself. They really do bring it upon themselves. Do they even realize how crazy they look?

Peta, as an "animal right advocate group" (and I'm being kind here) has lifted the role of animals to that of an even higher status than humans. However, their tactics leave very much to be desired.

They have no qualms about lying, being outright hypocrites, using terroristic propaganda, trying to create alcoholics, and making up outlandish stories to get their point across. And their leader, Ingrid Newkirk, is the most outlandish of all.

The sad thing is, many people (including Hollyweird celebs) are behind them, bringing along with them their bottomless pockets.

Case in point, this newest campaign by Peta against Ben & Jerry's ice cream. This campaign of theirs mixes both the gross with the crazy into their own special Peta "flavor."

Ben & Jerry are die-hard liberals, but even they think the idea is udderly ridiculous! :)

Bono's ONE campaign

As I am a rather RABID U2 fan, I thought I would add this article on Bono, who has truly become one of the most well spoken "lobbyists" on global poverty and development.

To some, he may be "just a singer" but his following (and that of U2) is legion. He's very intelligent, and doesn't play favorites. He's met with both Bush and Clinton, as well as other people on opposite sides of the fence, in order to get funding for Africa.

Besides that, Bono is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. His Irish upbringing, his strong faith, and "gift of gab" have helped him write some of the deepest most meaningful lyrics penned in music, and as such, has led U2 to the top of the music charts over and over.

EDIT: argh, looks like 'twas not to be. :( Could have been one of my fave photos ever!

Stem Cell Breakthrough Could Change Debate

Seeing as how adult stem cells are the only type that have been (and should be) experimented with, this news may be another step toward not using fetal or infant stem cell research.

Media Mum on Barney Frank's Fannie Mae Connection

You probably won't be hearing about Barney Frank's role in the big financial bail out, and this as well. Since Barney Frank is gay, Fannie Mae could be the closest he may get to anything remotely "female." :-\

So who is Barney Frank? Here are a couple articles on him.

http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080924145932.aspx

As well, let's refresh our memories on a couple other Democrats for whom scandals seem to be a way of life. We have myriad Clinton scandals.

And of course there is John Edwards, whose wife is fighting cancer:

I don't like to use Gawker as a news outlet, but they do have a point this time - the story about Edwards was certainly dropped like a hot potato by the MSM:

UNCALLED FOR LIBERAL "PROTEST"

This is not surprising, but it is VERY disheartening, wrong, and a really STUPID way to try and make a point. Plus it just makes the perpetrator look like an idiot when he is finally caught. DON'T BLAME THE SOLDIERS.

And this is a related story that makes me very angry...it doesn't surprise me that this guy is a member of the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, but he's 72 years old for cryin out loud! Grow up already! And what a HYPOCRITE!

Jeppe drives a 14-year-old BMW, which News 8 discovered gets only a mile or two more per gallon than the Hummer he criticized.

Britain rolls out BIOMETRIC ID cards

Britain unveiled its new biometric identity card on Thursday which the government says will be vital in fighting illegal immigration and terrorism, while critics call it an expensive attack on civil liberties. Just wait folks. It'll all be here shortly.

US Abortion rate at 30 Year Low!

It usually takes an entire generation before we really see the effects of something like Roe vs. Wade. Inasmuch as the generation growing up after the 1973 ruling now sees having an abortion as a "right", many of this younger generation are seeing abortion for what it truly is, and as such, are having fewer of them. Which is a very good thing.

It doesn't stop abortion altogether, but when the issue is something as heinous as killing unborn babies, any stats in the favor of pro-life are welcome!

40,000,000 babies aborted. FORTY MILLION. I can't even wrap my mind around that.

Out of the mouths of babes, liberalism spouts

What would Tim think about his cub saying this?

Actually, he'd probably congratulate him for his "astuteness."

And of course the MSM got their feathers ruffled because someone called him on this comment.

And what's with the face in that picture? It's like "whatchoo talkin bout Willis?"

Scientist sells U.S. secrets to China

Great. This is all we need... someone selling our secrets to the Chinese. AGAIN.

Debunking Lies/Myths about Sarah Palin

A few sites helping to debunk the many lies, fibs, falsehoods and myths about VP candidate Sarah Palin. I guess good old common sense doesn't figure into journalism nowadays:

Way to alienate those you want voting for you, Obama!

However after this fiasco, perhaps they don't want to get blown off themselves!

AFTAH Confronts SF Mayor Newsom for Folsom Fair

The Folsom Street Fair is one of the most disgusting, despicable, depraved, and sadistic homosexual "festivals" ever to hit the planet. They are SO VERY PROUD of this fact, and the mayor (gay himself) welcomes this festival with open arms.

Worst of all, people actually bring their children to this festival! This festival makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like a church picnic. This is where a nice big bolt of lighting could come in very handy!

I know San Francisco is a lovely city, and has so many wonderful things going for it, but it has become one of the biggest cesspools of depravity in our nation.

Ugh. Just reading about it and blogging about it makes me want to go take a shower.

Wishing won't help

Only Christ can save you. A "picture poem" by the wonderful and insightful Jill Briscoe.

The Wish Wand

I had a little wish wand and waved it to and fro
Whenever thoughts turned heavenward
or the other place you go.
I thought it safe to trust it with my whole eternal soul
so I wished the life I’d lived on earth
would get me to my goal.

I wished that all would get to heaven
whatever they believed
that Buddha sat at God’s right hand
that New Age be received.
I wished that Paul would change his mind
that Jesus wasn’t right
because He spoke of lostness and a
dark eternal night;
about the way to heaven
one truth, one narrow gate, and
I was so broadminded that I wished away my fate!

So I waved my little wish wand
in the radiant face of Him
who met me at the gate of heaven and wouldn’t let me in.
I wrote to heaven’s congressman,
but he courteously replied that I should have
left my wish wand at the feet of Him who died!
For wishes could not wish away a lifetime of rejection,
and wishes could not dress my soul
in heaven’s own perfection.
And wishes could not save me now
for hell was so obscene,
that wishes there die ghastly deaths,
strangled with a scream.

So I took my little wish wand
into hell the day I died,
and I waved it at the serpent as he
slithered to my side.
It was dark but I could see him
and all I knew was fear,
and no matter how I waved my wand
he wouldn’t disappear!
Oh I wish that I had wished aright
I wished I lived again

I wished I had a body that
was whole, not racked with pain.
I wished I could remember
something other than the dirt.
I wished I could forget my sin.
So every memory hurt.
Oh, I wished and wished and wished
that I could have another chance
to cast upon the Crucified
a trusting, saving glance.

But the devil took my wish wand
and he laughed right in my face
and I went to live eternally in
darkness and disgrace,
I never wished a wish again
I had no heart to try
for hell is where hope ended, and where all my wishes died!

Russia in Caribbean Raises Fears of War with U.S.

Russia is really starting to push the envelope, and make a show of force in many areas, this being yet another of them. The Caribbean is way too close to the U.S., and this does make me nervous.

Gog and Magog* are starting to awaken, and we need to pay heed!


*"Gog and Magog" is the term the Bible uses to describe two areas of the world, north and west of Israel, that will form an alliance in order to invade Israel. Many Bible scholars believe that, along with middle eastern Muslims nations, this alliance will also include Russia, parts of Africa, and/or China, creating an an invasion force of 200 million soldiers (China is the only country in the world with an army of at least 200 million today)

Obama is not who he says he is

Now, being a Christian is NOT necessary when one is running for president. It would be nice of course, from a values and morals perspective, but it is not necessary. Barack Obama seems to have difficulty deciding whether he is Christian or Muslim. This may help determine the answer.

And the fact that Obama is mixed up with Oprah is bad enough, but now it seems they're both linked to that freakazoid new age-ist, Eckhart Tolle. Yikes.

From Wikipedia:

Tolle believes that the New Testament contains deep spiritual truth, as well as distortions, which are due to a misunderstanding of Jesus’ teaching. He teaches that when you are present, you access your inner knowing and you will sense what is true and what was added on or distorted.

And HE knows best how to interpret Jesus' teachings correctly? That is the sign of a cult leader - he and only he - knows best, not you.

And since we're on the topic of Oprah as global guru to the Obamas, here is another post about the differences between what Oprah believes and what Sarah Palin believes.

Palin uninvited from anti-Iran rally

Talk about spoiled brats! The dems are sure good at throwing hissy fits. Sarah Palin was INVITED to speak at this rally, then Hillary, who had also accepted earlier, cancelled because Palin was going to be there...so the dems complained and whined until Palin herself was UNinvited to this rally. Nice.

Palin uninvited from rally
Posted: 06:54 PM ET

(CNN) — Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been uninvited from a rally against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week in New York, one day after Hillary Clinton declined her invitation because the Alaska governor was slated to be there.

“In order to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured, the organizers of the rally have decided not to have any American political personalities appear,” the organizers, which include several Jewish groups, said in a written statement.

John McCain issued a statement expressing disappointment over the decision.

“Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans,” he said.

Naturally CNN's coverage of this story pales in comparison to most, so here is a more fleshed out version.

Poor guy, I am sure he was strung up for that article. In the LA Times, no less!

Hurrah for the Farmers Branch police!

This is a huge coup for drug enforcement agencies. And much of it was headed up by our own neighbor, Farmers Branch, where the one and only Tim O'Hare was recently elected Mayor, based on his campaign to end illegal immigration in his city.

Interstate 35 is the cartel's prime trafficking route, and Dallas (Farmers Branch) is its key distribution point, authorities say. Cartel associates are believed to be responsible for several slayings in the Dallas area in recent years.

So Palin has no foreign policy experience? Neither did these guys

The first of a series. This one is about Bill Clinton.

Possible Upset on the Democratic Ticket!

If this truly does happen, this may spell doom for the GOP ticket. I've seen several sources that have reiterated this topic.

Here (where it may have started)
Here
Here

This site contends that the whole thing is merely a spoof (which I hope it is), and the ever popular (but increasingly left-leaning) Snopes.com calls it "undetermined." HOWEVER, as things tend to go on the "interwebs," this is a re-run of a very similar type of email that went out in 2000 when Bush picked Cheney as his VP:

I just heard a rumor from a good source. The Republican party is feeling that Cheney is a liability on the ticket. There's a rumor that a few weeks prior to the election in a desperate attempt to win, Cheney will resign because of a trumped up heart problem or potential "threat to his health." Then either John McCain or Colin Powell will be asked to come on the ticket and save the party.

Incest Joke Falls Flat In Sketch Lampooning Palin

I realize that SNL, once intelligent, biting and hilarious, has become nothing more than a sophomoric C-level attempt at bathroom humor, but this is taking things too far, and is becoming all to typical of SNL.

I'm just thankful that Chevy Chase is no longer on the show!

VERY IMPORTANT - LEFT USING BIG PR FIRM

This is a very important article thoroughly researched and written by the folks at mypetjawa.mu.nu.

Not only does the left have the Hollyweird set in their pocket, but apparently some big PR firms as well, and they are using some very underhanded and surreptitious ways of trying to get their point across.

Unfortunately for them, nothing on the web is ever really "gone" even when you try to erase your steps (a word of warning to us all).

If Fox News doesn't happen to run with this one, it's highly doubtful that any other news outlet will touch this with a 10 foot pole.

That is, Todd Palin as "First Dude."

Olmert Steps Down - Now What?

Yet another Israel Prime Minister steps down.

With all of the "warring factions" within Israel itself, they're never going to find one person who will embody what everyone wants.

That is, until the antichrist comes on the scene.

Christian Groups Invitation to Ahmadinejad

I'm shocked as well. This sounds like it might be a good thing in theory, but these groups are pacifists and anti-Israel, and believe that a good dialogue will solve all of the world's disagreements. It's the Neville Chamberlain thought process.

Unfortunately, this does not work with someone of Imademonjob's ilk. This "talk" will get them nowhere except for to add more fuel to the fire of "those stupid Americans need to be wiped off the planet."

Just having this guy on American soil is a very bad idea as well.
