I Couldn't Say It Any Better

I really like this guy. Check him out at Macho Sauce productions:

A Teency-Weency Request

A small request to Catholics (and this goes for certain Protestants too, but I only have the data on Catholics, sorry)... next election, be it Presidential, Congressional, Gubernatorial, Mayoral, Selectman on down to the dog catcher; next election PLEASE pay attention to what the candidates voting record HAS BEEN. Do your homework and discover the facts and truth about the candidates, not the tingly feeling you get when a certain candidate speaks.

Barak Obama's voting record both as a State and U.S. Senator showed him to be pro-abortion. Every opportunity to vote went the way of supporting abortion and against every opportunity to oppose legislation limiting it, which includes voting NO on banning partial birth abortion and the Infant Born Alive Act. During the Presidential campaign he said repeatedly he would reverse the Mexico City policy and said he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) as one of the first things he does as President. Yet, 2008 poll data shows between 53% to 56% of Catholics voted for Barak Obama, 13% to 16% more than John Kerry, a Catholic, got in 2004.

Now I read that the Very Rev. David O'Connell, president of the Catholic University of America said every Catholic he's spoken to in recent days has expressed disappointment in Obama for reversing the Mexico City policy, and Catholic voters wonder if FOCA will be passed into law.

I've got news for you; over the next few weeks, Obama will most likely undo several more pro-life regulations, such as the ban on the use of federal funds for embryonic-stem-cell research and the “right of conscience” ruling (which allows medical personnel to refuse to participate in practices they object to, such as abortion). In addition, when he committed to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives, Obama indicated he would curtail religious groups’ ability to hire based on religious considerations—a decision that would tear the soul and the effectiveness out of these groups.

You know the old saying, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it PROBABLY IS A DUCK!!! For crying out loud!..what does a stroke feel like?

PREDICTION: The next big "dissapointment" will come from all of those left leaning Jewish people who voted for Mr. Obama only to find out he's really anti-Israel and pro-Palestine. WHAT?! I never knew that!

Donkey Economics

I read these two stories just minutes apart. Click the title to be brought to each article

Pelosi: Contraception is Good Stimulus for the Economy US News January 26, 2009

[Japanese] Workers urged: Go home and multiply CNN International January 26, 2009

So which is the best economic policy? At the time of my writing this we are fast approaching 45 million abortions since 1973 and now the left is promoting contraception! (Check out my abortion counter on the right to see the current repulsive number).

More than just promoting contraception, they want it funded with our tax dollars! I just don't get this unabashed anti-life agenda of the liberals. It makes no sense. Even if you do not agree with my staunch pro-life stance, surely you can see the benefit of having more tax payers in the system. If you do the math there are roughly 25 million less tax payers today because those babies were aborted. And now phase II is launched; government sponsored contraception.

As I was writing this an idea dawned on me. The reason the liberals see contraception and abortion as "good" for the economy is because they all share the same socialistic economic policies. If there's less people then that equates to a savings because liberals all believe in the "ask what your government should do for you" mentality promoted by the Democratic party and famously endorsed as a fundamental "right" by Barak Obama.

Here We Go (sigh)

In just the third full day of President Obama's administration, he begins making good on his promises to push his radically liberal agenda concerning abortion. Just today:

-President Obama lifts a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush. (Note to the President: waiting until late on a Friday evening to recind the previous Presidents order really says a lot)

-First Embryonic Stem Cell Trial Gets FDA Approval (this is not directly the action of the President, but it is penultimately a result of his policies and the Democrats being placed in power)

Next up I am sure he will sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) into law. If you are not familiar with FOCA, read my post on Oct. 31, 2008 called "Obama the Abortionist". Click this link if you want to sign the Fight Against FOCA petition.

Even if you are not staunchly anti-abortion as I am; even if you are in the camp of "It's a woman's right to choose", do you really want YOUR tax dollars going to fund abortions? Why do my tax dollars need to go to ANY organisation that funds abortions anywhere? Planned Parenthood already receives about $300M dollars per year in federal grants and last year posted a reported $51M profit! I don't get it!! This is so upsetting to me!!!

The fact that many in this country CELEBRATE this supposed "right" makes me sick.

Killing Potential

Future Shock

I came across this article by Dick Moriss and thought it was right on the button:

The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism

The article, I think, hones in on exactly what we can expect based on Mr. Obama's voting record and through his campaign speeches and debates. It may not come to pass, but based on Obama's past, I think Mr. Morris takes it to it's most logical conclusion. You may be ok with this change, which is why you voted for Obama. That's ok. I personally do not like the writing on the wall.

Change We Can Believe In?

Funny how ever since the announcement that Rick Warren would give the invocation at the presidential inauguration, that the buzz was how the Obama constituency was offended by the choice. Warren, an evangelical pastor, is "guilty" of supporting traditional marriage and even has the audacity to pray in the name of Jesus! No doubt Pastor Rick would say something offensive if not offend some by his very presence.

On the other end of the spectrum was Rev. Joseph Lowery who rendered the benediction. No issues there; no buzz about anyone being offended by this choice or possibly having the Reverend say something that would be offensive, right?

My opinion:

Pastor Warren delivered a prayer and did it in Jesus name. He called for God's blessings upon the President, his family, the V.P. and all elected officials. He called for God to forgive us when we fall short and brought light on the need for us to unite even in our differences.

Rev. Lowery delivered a speech disguised as a prayer and every fair minded person in the nation should be offended by what he said, regardless of skin color. Oh, there were homily-like sentences in the speech, but the meat of the message was down right racists and anti-white. Hmmmm, sounds like the flavor of the week as delivered even more venomously by the Reverend Wright, the spiritual leader to President Obama for 20 years.

Here is the part I am talking about. It starts:

Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back,…

Sorry Reverend, those days ended long ago, and if not, it certainly ended when we elected the messiah President! (but I digress...)

…when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; …

At this point I began to think "Where is this heading, and what rhymes with 'white'?" Then it came...

… and when white will embrace what is right.

Am I mistaken or did the Reverend just go all "White-Devil" on me? I guess being white means I don’t have any moral sense. And, if I’m not mistaken, I think he just put together a construction that lines up the browns, the blacks and reds and yellows on one side and the unrighteous white man on the other.

The he finished with:

That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen.

The crowd loudly responded with a great "AMEN!" Not just once, but three Times to the call of AMEN from the Reverend.

Is this the "Change" we are to expect? Honestly I do not think President Obama thinks this way. But I do believe that many people of color see the election of a black man as an excuse to air their racist ideology. Racism is not limited to one people group.

Close Only Counts With .....

Ok, the timing on this one is so perfect, it needs a little set up. How do I decide what to write about? It could be something I experience, I heard or read. But typically I don't know what to write until I think about it for awhile. Back on Jan. 8, I was taking my after lunch walk and as I walked I started thinking about DNA and how much of a miracle it is (...it's not weird for me). The result was my posting on Jan.8, the one just before this one, so go read it, then come back and finish this one.

Then, today I read an article that proves my point. It doesn't prove my opinion, but does prove just what I'm talking about. The link to the article is below, but to give you a snap shot, here is the opening paragraph:

One of life's greatest mysteries is how it began. Scientists have pinned it down to roughly this: Some chemical reactions occurred about 4 billion years ago - perhaps in a primordial tidal soup or maybe with the help of volcanoes or possibly at the bottom of the sea or between the mica sheets - to create biology.

Here is the link to the article. Judge for yourself: Life As We Know It Nearly Created in Lab

Even though we all analyze the same data, why is that we come to different conclusions? It's called presupposition; these scientists WANT their inquiry to support what they already believe to be true. The same is true for ME! When I look at science I look at it from the point of view that there is a Creator God. Yet, in a world where we all bring our own presupposition to the table, we need to allow logic to rule. Starting with the fact that it is impossible to get something from nothing. See my other posts on this ( July 11, 2007 and July 23, 2008).

Upside-Down and Backwards

The thinking in this world really is upside down and backwards when it comes to the wisdom of God versus the wisdom of men. Take DNA; even the most basic definition of DNA screams the necessity of a pre-existent creator (aka the “Cause”). Here is a basic definition:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is like a set of blueprints since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes.

Let me summarize; DNA stores information needed to create a living organism. Meaning when conception occurs a single cell containing DNA will begin to divide. With each division the cell becomes more and more specific to its intended purpose. All of the immense intricacies that make a living organism and especially that which make a human being; organs, skin, teeth, hair, eyes, ears, blood, nerves, brain, and on and on and on are made so by the instructions contained in our DNA!

Yet, a majority of scientists; mind you scientists who know so much more about how incredible DNA is than I do and therefore should understand at an even higher level of amazement how incredible DNA is, these scientists can look at DNA and say that it is created by blind forces of chance. By cosmic accident.

Even more amazingly, other scientists can spend billions of dollars to construct super-sensitive equipment that “listens” for faint signals from the furthest reaches of the universe. When they hear some signal that goes “bzzzzz-bz-bz-bzzzzzz” they cry out “INTELLIGENCE!!”

God has made it plainly clear for all peoples, in all places, in all times to know that He is God. Yet, as we are told in scripture, man has exchanged the truth of God for a lie. To uphold that lie as scientific "fact" takes more mental gymnastics than to just admit that a Creator, a Supreme Cause to all known effects, is behind all of this.
