Bravo! Bravo! Andrea Bocelli

A great pro-life testemony from Andrea Bocelli and a second video; a repeat from a couple of years ago.

The Word Is The Word, No Matter How We Distort Him

I suppose I should clarify the title of this article. Yes, "The Word" is a Him. The Word is the second person of the Trinity, that is Jesus. Here the apostle John explains in John 1:1-5 and 14-17:

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning.³Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ⁴In him was life, and that life was the light of men. ⁵The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ¹⁵John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " ¹⁶From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. ¹⁷For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Often times Christians refer to the Word of God, that is the Bible, as "The Word". This is also an acceptable use of the term "The Word" because Christians believe that the words in the Bible are a direct revelation from God.

Then I cam upon this video and I wanted to cry. She is talking to a Catholic organization, being a professing Catholic herself. Her speech is dealing with how her agenda, now the agenda of the majority in positions of power in Congress and the administration, is what Jesus would want.

I will not cast judgment for I am as guilty as she is. Just how one's thinking can be bent so far away from God, yet convince yourself it is true, is beyond me. This is a woman who supports all methods of abortion, even late term partial birth abortion. And that's only one of many. But listen to her, can you see it? Read Matthew 7:15-23, it's titled "A Tree and It's Fruit". Absolutely one of the scariest passages in the Bible, and it's aimed at all those who say they follow Christ.

The Times Square Bomber: Where Have Our Patriots Gone?

I'm finding the words hard to come by. I can't even begin to describe it! How did we get here in such a short period of time? I thought the lead up to 9/11, then the actual attack of 9/11 and the continued activities of terrorist organizations around the world would only solidify this fact:

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but to me it seems 99.99% of terrorists are Muslim.

There are those in power and in the media who either hate our country and our form of government and want to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America or are just plain stupid. President Obama mentioned that "fundamental transformation" would be the result if he became president [said just before the election].

Now, just 8+ years from 9/11, those in power and in the media seem to wish that acts of terror were perpetrated by white conservative American citizens. Even better, wouldn't it be great if they were part of that tea party movement! Everything is upside down and backwards. It's maddening and I can't stand it any longer. Don't worry, I'm going to hang in there. But it is at an unbelievable level and to be honest, a level that is beginning to scare me.

There is too much to go into, but here are just a few things to chew on.

As I write this, just this morning it was announced they've made at least one arrest in the attempted car bombing in New York's Time Square. Officials arrested Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized US citizen of Pakistani birth. It is also now known he traveled to Pakistan and went through some level of terrorist training. There have been others taken into custody, but as of now this is what I know.

Let's go back to yesterday, before anyone had any idea who was behind the attempted bombing. NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg had this to say to Katie Couric when asked who he thought might be behind the attempted bombing:




Thank you mayor Bloomberg for giving Muslim extremists a pass and instead, your 25 cent guess, that it could be anybody, like... 1) the perp acted alone, 2) the person is "home grown", 3) someone who is mentally deranged and 4) someone with a political agenda like not liking the "health care bill" [even though it is a law now, he called it a bill. Maybe the Mayor needs to watch the old School House Rock video about how a bill becomes a law].

Can you believe that?! By saying the perp probably "acted alone" he's saying that the person isn't a Muslim extremist tied to any organized terror group and probably a political activist who doesn't like the current efforts of the President and congress, like, oh I don't know...maybe one of those racist tea party people?

Then today, after the suspect was arrested, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer said it all in regards to where the media stands. And yes this is where 99% of the media stands.




Yes Contessa too bad he wasn't one of those dangerous tea party "haters" with their lawn chairs and American flags. By the way, the suspect is Muslim and he's a registered Democrat in Connecticut. He's one of yours Contessa!

And finally, now that [one of] the "alleged" perp(s) is under arrest, Mayor Bloomberg has these words to the fine citizens of New York

New York will not tolerate any bias after the arrest of a U.S. citizen from Pakistan in the Times Square car bombing attempt [which] also applies to potential backlash against Muslim New Yorkers. There are a few bad apples among any groups.

'At away to support your citizenry Mr. Mayor.

The Evil Of It All...It Comes To This

We have such an evil view of the sanctity of life....

In this story a drugged up 18 year old hit and killed an elderly woman while driving a van, but she seems to be able to see the positive in all of it:

The thing that made me not feel so bad was, she was old

From the Guardian "Let premature babies under 23 weeks die, doctors told" and this was back in 2006.

This is the latest example of deception in action perpetrated by America's abortion industry.

I Agree With.......Al Sharpton?!

Mark the date and time. It's 1:19pm CST on Monday March 22nd, the day after "Dependence" day. I was watching CSPAN last night when "reverend" Al was on Fox News, so I didn't see this until now (yes it's my late lunch hour). He is exactly right (see video below).

I have already had this same conversation with a friend today. This is our fault; we asked for it. By "our" and "we" I mean collectively as a country. It was all out there. There is no excuse for anyone not to have known exactly what Obama stood for; what camp he resides in. For those who seem to be so shocked by this revelation because A) the totality of news you get is by tuning into one of the major network evening news broadcasts for 30 minutes a couple of times a week, or B) you simply felt it was time for a black man to win the white house, or C) you got a chill up your leg when he spoke....you compromised 200+ years of blood, sweat and tears because of your shallow uninformed self interests.

The Most Dangerous Kind of Liar

Health Care Legislation - Besides all the back room deals and bribes, President Obama still couldn't get enough votes from his own party. How did he finally get the votes? He promised Bart Stupack he would issue an Executive Order which would circumvent all the pro-abortion language in the bill (which the dems claim isn't there).

Cap & Trade Legislation - The President never got the votes in congress to pass this socialist legislation, so he went around congress and issued an Executive Order charging the EPA to do it anyway.

Government Regulation of the Internet - Congress says no way. Obama issues an Executive Order charging the FCC to do it anyway.

The Debt Commission - The senate blocked it. Obama created the commission anyway by way of an Executive Order. He even had the nerve to say he would do it during the State of The Union Address.

Card Check? The President is still pushing that one through by any means even though congress has rejected it.

Where Do You Find These Angels?

Fishing Soon to be Illegal in the USA?

First you need to read two other posts I've written in the past for this to make sense:

All Hail Mother Earth: Kill The Humans!!

All Hail Mother Earth: Kill The Humans #2

And now two more articles of interest that I think piggy back nicely onto those. First, from our friends in Switzerland there are people taking other people to court over...catching fish. Yes, in these cases the fish is actually the plaintif! Scales of Justice: In Zurich, Even Fish Have a Lawyer.

But you say, "Oh those stories are from Europe, not the USA. Stop being so concerned over those cooky Spaniards, Brits and the Swiss." Oh really.....

From ESPN, Culled Out: Obama Will Accept No More Public Input For Federal Fishing Strategy

WAKE UP! This has been here for a long time and we are just now waking up to it. The progressives are making greater strides now that one of their own is in the White House. And don't think "We the People" will always prevail. The progressives have been indoctrinating the youth for years to where more and more every day things like this seem absolutely normal.

Farmers in the San Joachin valley of California are going out of business because extremist progressive environmentalists are protecting a fish! People suffer and are waiting in food lines because the animals have more rights.

It is evil.

Yes I am pro-life. All life. I loved this video!

Understanding The History: Abortion 101

I know this is a more reading than you want. Heck, my ADD prevents me from reading most anything longer than one page UNLESS I find it fascinating or very important. To me all of this fits both bills.

While on one hand I tend to think our nation has "progressed" too far to ever turn back. On the other hand I know that with God all things are possible. What I am getting at is the possibility of eliminating abortion from our country...and the world.

This issue has a long and ugly history in our country. To understand how it came about you must read the following articles:

The History of Planned Parenthood: When reading this article if you come across a term you don't understand Google it! Learn about things like eugenics and the Supreme Court case of Buck v Bell. If you thought the Nazis were the authors of ethnic cleansing you don't know your history.

Margaret Sanger's focus was not to promote birth rates among the nations educated elite, but rather eliminating births among those deemed unfit, or as she called them "slum mothers". If you think that was then, but things are different now, here are just a couple of examples:

Hillary Clinton praised Margaret Sanger when she received Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger award in April of 2009 saying, "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision ... "

Or the interview with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsberg in the New York Times, July 2009. I've linked to it and the quote I use below is found at the top of page 4, but I recommend you back up to page 3 and read a couple of questions that lead up to her giving the answer. In answering about a case that upheld the Hyde Amendment which prohibits abortion funding for Medicaid, Justice Ginsberg tells how she was surprised by the ruling because she thought that Roe v Wade was intended to be for the poor. Why did she think that (emphasis mine):

Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.

How about the fact that President Obama's advisor for Science and Technology co-wrote a book called Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment; in which he discussed the possible role of a wide variety of solutions to overpopulation including enforced population controls, like forced sterilization for women after they gave birth to a designated number of children, placing sterilants in the nations water supply or ever better, forced abortions for certain undesirables.

This only scratches the surface of the evil behind what has cleverly been branded health and reproductive rights.

It's Sundown in America

Honestly; does this sound like the America you want? Again, I appeal to common sense. Even if you do not believe in The one true God or any god, must you also take that right away from those who do? Yes, you have to take that right away because it is afforded all Americans in the US Constitution.

Following an ACLU lawsuit filed against Santa Rosa School district in Florida, Judge M. Casey Rodgers ruled to deny prayer in the counties schools. Evidently the school district decided to come to an agreement with the ACLU without fighting it, also called a consent decree. Trying to overturn the decree one of the teachers gave this testimony:

During testimony in December, Michelle Winkler broke down on the witness stand when describing how a coworker sought comfort from her after losing her two-year-old child. The two hid behind a closet door to pray because they feared the consent decree. Denise Gibson, an elementary teacher for 20 years, testified the order forces her to tell parents she cannot respond if they talk about church or their faith. She may not even respond to an email from a parent if it contains a Scripture verse or “God bless you.” Instead, the District requires her to open a separate email to respond rather than hit “reply,” in order to eliminate any trace of religious language.

Also:

• School employees are prohibited from “communication with a deity” when in their “official capacity.”
  
• They are considered to be in their “official capacity” even when not working – whenever they attend a “school event,” which includes events during the day, including breaks, after-school events on or off campus, and privately sponsored events on campus for students.
  
• Employees cannot bow their head or fold their hands and must prohibit others from praying, even in meetings such as Good News Clubs or privately sponsored baccalaureate services.

I mean come on! You may not believe in God, you may want to have all personal prayer banned from public school, but are you brave enough to say that this cannot happen because the US Constitution protects it?!

The first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Scientific Censorship

I keep writing on this theme, but that is because again and again and again I am seeing old long held scientific theories of the origins of life and of evolution fall into greater doubt. Yet another one is now falling away and that is the idea that the first life arose in tidal pools in a theory widely known as primordial soup. Here is a good article that is a quick read which gets to the heart of the issue: New Research Rejects 80-year Theory of ‘Primordial Soup’ as the Origin of Life.

I've written about the fallen long held theory of dinosaur to bird evolution. I've shown the debacle behind the hype of "Ida" and also how vested interests are the enemy of sound science. Just click on the "Science" label on the right hand menu of this blog to read what I'm talking about.

When I first saw the title of the article rejecting the primordial soup theory I was excited, but quickly I realized why a secular scientific journal would allow it to be published. The reason? Because in it's place another BS theory was introduced. The fact is the scientists have had no success in remotely replicating or proving the primordial soup theory. They continued for years and each attempt met failure. The only way they are willing to move away from it was if they could come up with another theory that not only would buy more time, but also wouldn't challenge their preconceived idea as to what they need the end result to be. And so instead of life arising in primordial tidal pools they give us the alternative theory that (drum roll) life arose from gases and that the energy for first life came from harnessing geochemical gradients created by "mother Earth" at a special kind of deep-sea hydrothermal vent.

So we go from primordial soup to primordial vents?

This science will continue to demonstrate that a theory of life coming about in the absence of a living Creator falls short of reality. This failure will not be due to the quality of the science, but rather because their goal is to discard anything the doesn't fit into the particular belief system of the scientific elite. Censorship never leads to good science.

Pro-Choice Hypocrisy

If you've been following the uproar over the not yet released Tim Tebow Superbowl ad, you've seen the hypocrisy of the pro-choice advocates; at least in their leadership and spokes persons. To me it unveils the true intentions of the so-called pro-choice lobby. They are not pro-choice at all, but rather pro-abortion. This is something I have written about time and time again.

At the time of this posting this ad has only been seen by it's producers and some of the execs at CBS. Yet, even though the pro-choice lobby hasn't seen it (and they admit they haven't seen it) they know they hate it, making claims that it aims to "deny a woman's right to choose". This is ridiculous. The ad tells the story of a woman who did choose and her choice was to give birth to the baby rather than abort it, even against the advice of her doctors. That's it!

The pro-choice movement isn't interested in choice at all. They want you to get an abortion, period. They are consumed with the "right" to control life and death and by doing so, to me, they reveal their true intentions. Complete autonomy. I see the world through spiritual eyes and it is the same lie that caused the fall of the first man and woman; the promise of being a god.

Here is a great article from the Washington Post to read and I've also linked to a video interview that shows the extent the pro-choice lobby will go to make their point. I know that there are many ordinary people who are pro-choice that have no issue with a positive story that celebrates the CHOICE of life. But there is an element within the pro-life movement that is focused on death. They err towards death at every opportunity and to them I say, may God have mercy.

Sorry I couldn't embed the video, but here is the link.

Freedom of Religion and the Constitution

In support of free speech I say you are entitled. Quoting the article on the Fox News website:

An atheist organization is blasting the U.S. Postal Service for its plan to honor Mother Teresa with a commemorative stamp, saying it violates postal regulations against honoring "individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings."

Now to exercise my free speech:

Yes, once again we hear from the imbeciles over at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Their name says it all. To think that you can rid any and all religious references, hints or appearances from life is so brainless. Not to mention this "right" to rid us from religion is not theirs! The first amendment clearly states that all citizens of the USA have the right to freedom of religion not a freedom from it. Why do they think they can force it out of lives? Oh yes, because of that silly idea of "separation of Church and state". Laughable; show me where that is in the constitution.

Those who have twisted that non-constitutional phrase into something that could or should possibly shape our society are fools. You incorrectly think it means that God should stay out of the government's business. Make it mean whatever you want it to mean, it doesn't apply because it is not in the constitution. What is in the constitution clearly states that the government must stay out of the business of how the people chose to exercise their religion. A stamp with Mother Theresa, or Moses, or Buddha or Muhammad or Jesus, I could care less. But no person or institution has the right to say no to it.

I do take exception to the Post Office having a regulation that says they won't honor individuals whose achievements are religious in nature. That is nothing more that a politically correct cop out and what fuels these complaints. I can protest that decision and do my best to convince them to reverse it. But, the Post Office can freely choose to display anything they want on their stamps and I have no right to force them to do anything, so long as the image doesn't violate any law.

Do you believe the Constitution contains timeless truths; things that are true for all people, in all times? Not if you think like the stream of so called intellectuals that have come along over the ages. One sits in the White House now. In Mr. Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope" he states:

Ultimately, though, I have to side with Justice Breyer’s view of the Constitution—that it is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.

Not me. Our founders laid down a blueprint for a government this world has never known before. It has provided it's citizens a standard of living far greater than any country has ever had in the history of the world. It must be interpreted today as the founders laid it out then. To stray away from it would mean to stray away from what and who we are as Americans.

Killing The Unborn - A Fundemental Right?

This past Friday (Jan. 22, 2010) President Obama commemorated the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision by releasing a statement:

Today we recognize the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which affirms every woman’s fundamental constitutional right to choose whether to have an abortion, as well as each American’s right to privacy from government intrusion. I have, and continue to, support these constitutional rights. I also remain committed to working with people of good will to prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant women and families, and strengthen the adoption system. Today and every day, we must strive to ensure that all women have limitless opportunities to fulfill their dreams.

A statement artfully crafted with doublespeak in order to support this evil act. He couples the right to an abortion with every American's right to privacy from Government intrusion. He say he supports more prevention of unintended pregnancies and couples that with his stance for limitless opportunities for women to fulfill their dreams.

As I write this our nation has allowed the killing of nearly 45 million unborn babies since Roe v. Wade. Abortion is the number one method of killing Blacks and Hispanics today. The President himself has said that he wouldn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" as the result of an unintended pregnancy. Supreme court justice Ruth Ginsberg admitted in a Dec. 2009 NY Times article that she voted in favor of Roe v Wade because she saw it as a method to rid the nation of certain "undesirables". Evil!

The big question I have to ask is ultimately where do rights come from? For those who believe in God the only answer you can have is that rights come from God. Our founding fathers believed this; read the Declaration of Independence. For the unbeliever rights are granted by the government and the government determines rights, not based on what the majority want, no. Rather, the government decides what rights we have based on the ideas of a few elitists who just happen to be in power at the time. When a people allow their government to supplant God, it never ends well. Refer to Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, Communist China under Mao, and the darling of today's elitist progressives, Communist Cuba and the dictatorial regime in Venezuela.

The hypocrisy of our President knows no bound. He calls himself a man of faith yet embraces the elitist power structure that brings huge government control over our lives. Didn't he say that a person's right to abortion was a victory against government intrusion into our private lives? Just asking....

All rights come from God and God never gives us the right to do that which is as inherently evil as the act of abortion.

Responding to AARP - Eddie Style!

It's my first post of the year! There has been a lot happening in the world of politics, but I'm not going to write about every little things going on out there. I focus mostly on pro-life issues, constitutional rights such as freedom of speech and religion, and creation science. But I couldn't pass up this one.

My birthday was on December 19th and I turned 49 years old. Then somewhat unexpectedly, only 16 days later, IT came in the mail. IT is the dreaded AARP membership letter. Honestly I could care less about my age and even if there was a brief wince when I saw the letter, that quickly subsided because I know AARP could care less about the age of their members. They want the membership dues and to sell seniors medicare gap insurance. It's money that drives them.

If you keep up with politics you know AARP is a very left leaning organization. I'm not going to go into all of the facts of this, you can do the research and decide for yourself. For me though, I would never join this organization. So when I received the membership letter I knew right away that this deserved more than just tearing it up and tossing it! So I thought I would document how to do it Eddie style.

Ah yes, the dreaded letter.



The contents. The membership form showing all of the sweet benefits, the coveted AARP membership card and of course the postage paid return envelop.



Here is what they will receive when they open the envelop. The AARP card meticulously cut into strips and a heart felt note from (tee-hee) moi.



And it comes back to them in the same unsuspecting way they sent it to me. Postage paid.
