The Black Church’s Commitment to Obama
By Lloyd Marcus

Dear Black Church,

What I am about to say will probably anger you. As a black Christian, I have struggled with whether or not to address this sensitive topic. I only ask that you give my statements prayerful consideration.

Ninety-six percent of black voters, many of whom are Christians, cast their votes for Barack Obama. I question: Did your desire to see a black man in the White House trump your commitment to Christ and Christian values and principles? While I believe many white Christians also made a racist decision by voting for Obama solely because he is black, I am taking this occasion to address my fellow black Christians.

England Sucks, or Freedom Lost… Tuesday, May 4 2010

Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin

A Christian street preacher was arrested and locked in a cell for telling a passer-by that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God.
By Heidi Blake

Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.

The 42-year-old Baptist, who has preached Christianity in Wokington, Cumbria for years, said he did not mention homosexuality while delivering a sermon from the top of a stepladder, but admitted telling a passing shopper that he believed it went against the word of God.

Police officers are alleging that he made the remark in a voice loud enough to be overheard by others and have charged him with using abusive or insulting language, contrary to the Public Order Act.

Mr McAlpine, who was taken to the police station in the back of a marked van and locked in a cell for seven hours on April 20, said the incident was among the worst experiences of his life.

Happy Easter! Friday, Apr 2 2010 

This will be my last post, probably, for the weekend.

So, I would like to leave you with this…

Happy Easter!

Be blessed in Jesus’ name.

For all you that believe in the Easter bunny, I give you this (stolen from Ace):


That was hilarious and disturbing all at once.

No Sex Please, I’m Neal McDonough…
By Nikki Finke


Neal McDonough is a marvelous actor who elevates every role he plays, whether it’s in Band of Brothers or Desperate Housewives. So when he was suddenly replaced with David James Elliott 3 days into the filming on ABC’s new series Scoundrels earlier this week, there had to be a story behind the story. The move was officially explained as a casting change. But, in fact, McDonough was sacked because of his refusal to do some heated love scenes with babelicious star (and Botox pitchwoman) Virginia Madsen. The reason? He’s a family man and a Catholic, and he’s always made it clear that he won’t do sex scenes. And ABC knew that. Because he also didn’t get into action with Nicolette Sheridan on the network’s Desperate Housewives when he played her psycho husband during Season 5.

Health Care Abortion Includes Abortion… Thursday, Nov 5 2009 

And yes Virginia, the House Abortion of a Bill does have funding for abortions. It’s wrapped up in a money laundering scheme.

Obamacare Does Too Fund Abortions With Tax Dollars (and a Spiffy Money-Laundering Scheme)
Blue Collar Muse

Reprinted from Erick Erickson’s post at RedState.

I just got this from Doug over at National Right to Life. Please do read it ASAP:

Speaker Pelosi, Henry Waxman, and the White House are engaged in peddling another phony compromise. This is all theater. The “negotiations” are scripted ad phony. The language being circulated, and loosely associated with Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-In.), does not mitigate either of the abortion-subsidy provisions contained in H.R. 3962. This language is intended only to wrap the pro-abortion provisions in additional layers of concealment. The latest version of the Democrats’ abortion compromise being circulated contains a money-laundering scheme that is truly laughable. Some of the people involved in this enterprise apparently think that their constituents are simpletons.

Religion and Violence… Wednesday, Jun 10 2009 

An excellent essay on Judaism and Christianity as they relate to Islam and violence.

Too often there are Muslim apologists that insist on equating the Christian Crusades as being the pillar of Christianity and “proof” that Christianity is as violent as Islam, if not more. Along with many Bible references of an historical nature, also taken out of context by the apologists and applied incorrectly to Judaism and Christianity.

No matter how much the Islam apologists try to do it, the Crusades were anything but an example of spreading Christianity by the sword. The Crusades were defensive responses to Islamic encroachment on Christian lands. It doesn’t take a historian to figure that out. It does take a moron a huge leap in conjecture and innuendo to make the case that the Crusades are similar or worse than the spread of Islam by the sword.

Read this for a really well done essay on the topic.

Raymond Ibrahim: Are Judaism and Christianity as Violent as Islam?
by Raymond Ibrahim

My essay from the Middle East Quarterly (Summer 2009 vol.16 num.3, p. 3-12):

“There is far more violence in the Bible than in the Qur’an; the idea that Islam imposed itself by the sword is a Western fiction, fabricated during the time of the Crusades when, in fact, it was Western Christians who were fighting brutal holy wars against Islam.”[1] So announces former nun and self-professed “freelance monotheist,” Karen Armstrong. This quote sums up the single most influential argument currently serving to deflect the accusation that Islam is inherently violent and intolerant: All monotheistic religions, proponents of such an argument say, and not just Islam, have their fair share of violent and intolerant scriptures, as well as bloody histories. Thus, whenever Islam’s sacred scriptures—the Qur’an first, followed by the reports on the words and deeds of Muhammad (the Hadith)—are highlighted as demonstrative of the religion’s innate bellicosity, the immediate rejoinder is that other scriptures, specifically those of Judeo-Christianity, are as riddled with violent passages.

Anti-homo Marriage… Friday, May 1 2009 

Anti-homo marriage and proud of it. There are more of us that do NOT want homo marriage than there are those that do. It isn’t about homophobia either. It’s about what’s right in the eyes of God and those that feel that marriage is paramount to survival of the species. Either way you look at it, homo marriage ruins the society in which it is allowed. Look at Europe.

Stick to the civil union crap and get your cavorted benefits, but leave civil society the hell alone.

Gay Tail Wags Hetero Dog
By David Limbaugh

I doubt Prejean lied, especially considering what Neal admits officials did advise Prejean to say, which is egregious enough.

Why should Prejean have to apologize to anyone? And what wounds does she have an obligation to heal? She did not spontaneously volunteer her opinion on same-sex marriage; she gave it reluctantly, in response to Hilton’s loaded question. Nor did she “wound” anyone merely by voicing an opinion shared by hundreds of millions.

More on Stem Cells Monday, Mar 16 2009 

Here’s a few on the stem cell issue:

Using Embryos … Without Limit?

by Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON — Last week, the White House invited me to a signing ceremony overturning the Bush (43) executive order on stem cell research. I assume this was because I have long argued in these columns and during my five years on the President’s Council on Bioethics that, contrary to the Bush policy, federal funding should be extended to research on embryonic stem cell lines derived from discarded embryos in fertility clinics.

I declined to attend. Once you show your face at these things you become a tacit endorser of whatever they spring. My caution was vindicated.

Science Without Limits

by Ken Connor

On Monday President Obama issued an executive order, removing the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) instituted by former-President Bush.  ESCR has provoked great controversy because it necessarily involves the destruction of nascent human life.  Two alternative methods of stem cell research have seen great success and are free from ethical controversy, but Obama chose to ignore both ethics and pragmatism in his misguided commitment to support embryonic stem cell research with taxpayer money.

Obama’s Stem Cell Disgrace

by Guy Benson

With a great deal of fanfare, President Obama signed an executive order on stem cell research last week. The most controversial element of his new directive is a short, harmless-looking clause that you probably haven’t heard about. People on all sides of the stem cell controversy should call this particular decision what it is: A disgrace.

Obama’s Embryonic Stem Cell OK Can Kill
By Michael Reagan

What President Obama did when he reversed President Bush’s executive order banning embryonic stem cell research was based not on solid science, but his desire to cater to the anti-life, pro-abortion forces and their media allies who helped elect him.

In doing this, he created the potential for an outbreak of potentially fatal cancerous tumors caused by the therapeutic use of embryonic stem cells.

Moreover, he killed another Bush presidential order that funded some of the most promising research on the creation of embryonic-like stem cells from harmless but potent adult stem cells.

Stem Cell Lies Thursday, Mar 12 2009 

I am not in favor of this at all. There are several reasons why:

1. It’s government sanctioned abortion.

2. It’s immoral.

3. It doesn’t work.

4. If it was a viable science, private investors would have been all over this a long time ago.

On embryonic stem cells:

Stem Cells Are Not Just About Science

by Steve Chapman

Not many of us would want the federal government to leave military procurement to defense contractors, Medicare reimbursement to doctors or banking regulation to Citigroup. But President Obama says when it comes to allocating federal funds for scientific studies, we should defer to scientists.

That assertion came in reference to research on the use of embryonic stem cells to find treatments for various diseases. Obama announced that he was junking President Bush’s rules, which limited federal funding to research using embryonic stem cell lines that existed before August 2001.

Journey To Destruction

by Cal Thomas

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” said Confucius. But a journey of whatever length presumes one has a destination in mind. With President Obama’s executive order authorizing expanded federal funding for research using stem cells, produced from the destruction of human embryos, the destination will be left up to scientists, as will any “speed controls.” The sky, or in this case the depths, will be the limit.

In the classical style of a brilliant politician, President Obama sought to invoke an ethical standard for his decision, while simultaneously denying a standard that might restrain scientists from going too far. He said that as a “person of faith,” he believes “we are called to care for each other and work to ease human suffering. I believe we have been given the capacity and will to pursue this research — and the humanity and conscience to do so responsibly.”

Absolutely Horrific, Disgusting Images

by Alicia Colon

Did the header get your attention? If you can look at these images and feel something then congratulations-there’s hope for you. Unfortunately many Americans will turn away and refuse to consider the deaths of these human beings as anything but political propaganda.

Look carefully at image 5, 6 and 10 and and tell yourself that it’s a good thing for our society to allow the killing of perfect human beings who have become inconvenient to their mothers. Over 4000 innocents are murdered every day because America refuses to look at the truth. The truth is much more sinister than the argument that it’s a woman’s right to control the reproductive process. It comes back to that famous line uttered by Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men”.  America “can’t handle the truth.” It’s too ugly and too many Americans have lost the ability to think deeply about important issues.

I know I said I wouldn’t cuss, but sometimes there just needs to be some righteous indignation with an f-bomb, or three.

Abortion. This is the face of abortion. Look at the images and tell me that this is still a fucking choice. You people that think abortion is nothing but a woman’s choice need to pay attention. This isn’t a choice. It’s a defenseless human being that is being murdered. Murdered in the name of choice. Fuck you.

More lies from Obama Tuesday, Mar 10 2009 

More lies from Obama. There is no consensus for embryonic stem cell research. It has already been proven that adult stem cells are much better and have less risk associated with them. Plus, adult stem cells are cheaper to obtain and use. Oh, and did Obama mention the fact that embryonic stem cells cause cancer at a huge rate compared to adult stem cells, or even those from the placenta? Did he also mention that using embryonic stem cells kills babies? Whoops.

The Orwellian Presidential Bully Pulpit

by David Limbaugh

Does the following statement from Melody C. Barnes, director of President Barack Obama’s Domestic Policy Council, strike you as a) patronizing or b) Orwellian? “The president believes that it’s particularly important to sign this (presidential memorandum authorizing federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research) so that we can put science and technology back at the heart of pursuing a broad range of national goals.”

Your answer should be both a and b, especially when considered in conjunction with another presidential memorandum “aimed at insulating scientific decisions across the federal government from political influence.”

The president brazenly sermonizes against scientifically challenged conservatives while triggering federal funding of research that is scientifically controversial and preparing to impose cap and trade penalties on corporate America in deference to global warming junk science.
