Why the media loves the Clinton's

I often wondered why the media is in love with the Clinton's. I think this pretty much nails it:


Top 10 Reasons Why the Media Want Clinton, Part Deux
by Monica Crowley


For all of these reasons (and myriad more!), the media want to see a third Clinton co-presidency. They can’t imagine anything more horrible than a Romney presidency. A Mormon? Boring!

The media cannot spend four years -- forget about eight! -- covering a dull guy. It would be like covering Dwight Eisenhower. They’ll curl up and die with a president who never has any scandal, doesn’t chase skirts, doesn’t eat meat, and raises money legally. The media need the Clintons. They need the outrageousness. Scandal sells. And nobody does scandal like the Clintons.

Here is another reason to Home school your children.

Knife At Lunch Gets 10-Year-Old Girl Arrested At School

OCALA, Fla. -- A 10-year old Ocala girl brought her lunch to school and a small kitchen knife to cut it. She now faces a felony charge after being arrested. The school and the sheriff's office disagree on the reason for the arrest.


How about using a little common sense!!

Gore-bal Warming Scam

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

By John Coleman

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

It always comes down to money, cash, moollah. Even scientists, the new clergy class, are corrupted by the flash of gold (greed).

Tutu, please just put a sock in it.

I realize that Bishop Tutu is admired by many in this country. Personally, I think he is suffering from the mental disorder of Liberalism.


A grand reception for Archbishop Tutu
"His message is a message of reconciliation, peace and harmony"
Friday, October 26, 2007
By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette



Nobel Peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu yesterday thanked Pittsburghers who worked to end apartheid in South Africa and received an unprecedented dual honorary doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.

He also threw down a theological challenge on a doctrine that the worldwide Anglican Communion is threatening to split over.

In his sermon, he poked fun at the belief that only those who accept Jesus as their savior can enter heaven.

I thought his message was one of reconciliation and here he is poking fun of traditional Christianity.

"Can you imagine that there are those who think God is a Christian?" he said to laughter from a mostly appreciative audience. "Can you tell us what God was before he was a Christian?"

Aaaah, yea, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

More than 1,300 people crammed into lofty Calvary Episcopal Church, East Liberty, yesterday for the interfaith prayer service, part of the archbishop's first visit here.

Jared Cohon, president of Carnegie Mellon University, noted the unusual setting for the secular universities to award their degree, but said the archbishop's role in ending brutal segregation and working for reconciliation in South Africa made extraordinary gestures easy. He awarded the degree with Mark Nordenberg, chancellor at Pitt.

They were surrounded by religious leaders, from evangelical Presbyterians to Muslims to rabbis to Catholic Bishop David Zubik of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Bishop Robert Duncan of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, a leader among theologically conservative Anglicans, also attended.

The location was significant for Bishop Duncan because Calvary is suing the diocese over Bishop Duncan's effort to change church property rules so that congregations can more easily leave the Episcopal Church. Calvary's rector, the Rev. Harold Lewis, is an old friend of Archbishop Tutu and towered over the diminutive archbishop, who was seated in a red chair near the pulpit.

The church was filled with those who supported the archbishop's social justice concerns both now and 20 years ago, when black people couldn't enter white South African neighborhoods without a "guest worker" pass. He opened his sermon with thanks to those who had prayed, marched and gone to jail to protest apartheid.

"One of the great privileges ... is to be able to come to places such as this and say to you: We asked for your help. You gave it. We are free. Thank you, thank you, thank you," he said.

He spoke of marching side by side with rabbis and imams.
"They were all inspired by their faiths. I have yet to hear of a faith that says it's OK to be unjust," he said.

How about those who have their followers straping on bombs and killing innocents.

"Injustice and oppression isn't just evil, which it is. It's not just painful, which it certainly is for the victim. It's like spitting in the face of God."

He invoked his friendship with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Buddhist leader who has been exiled from his homeland for nearly 50 years. Although others would be embittered, the Dalai Lama is filled with "bubbly joyousness," he said.

"You have to be totally, totally insensitive not to know you are in the presence of someone who is holy and good."

"There is none righteous, no not one". "Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner".

He then asked, "Can anyone say to the Dalai Lama, 'You are a good guy. What a shame you are not a Christian'?"

Yes, I can say that.

His question drew laughs, but was a direct challenge to conservative Anglicans, who have long said that their deepest concern about the Anglican Communion is not gay ordination but the rejection of classic doctrines about Jesus. One of the most important is the belief that humans can only come into the presence of God if their sins have been forgiven, and that their sins can only be forgiven because Jesus died to atone for those sins.

You got it.

After equating that with the belief that "God is a Christian," Archbishop Tutu spoke of a human family in which members must love one another even when some relatives are obnoxious. When Jesus said he would "draw all" people to himself, he meant both President Bush and the "gay, lesbian and so-called straight," he said.

That is correct. All mankind would be drawn to Him (Jesus), not the Dalai Lama or Mohammed or even Bishop Tutu.

He spoke of God having a dream -- and drew laughter when he acknowledged in an aside that Martin Luther King "might have said something like that, too."
"Please help me, says God. Help me to realize my dream," he concluded, to great applause.

Aaah, what?

Bishop Duncan was torn in his reaction to the sermon.

Part of it "was Anglicanism at its best, which is its commitment to building God's kingdom here on earth," he said.

"But it was also partly an essay on what is dividing Anglicanism. I think a perceptive listener would understand that the middle part of the archbishop's sermon was a challenge to the traditional Christian understanding of the means by which we all gain access to heaven."
He said the archbishop had misrepresented the beliefs of conservatives, particularly in the line about God being a Christian.

"What the archbishop's sermon did was twisting the classic Christian understanding in a way that took the narrowest possible reading of traditional Christianity," he said.

Few others appeared to share the bishop's theological reservations. Dr. Lewis said he was "exhilarated" by the visit.

"His message is a message of reconciliation, peace and harmony," he said.

Right, he just made fun of traditional Christianity. Tutu is a typical liberal. He wants everyone to be reconciled to his way of thinking. Peace is agreeing with him.

Disgraceful behavior by the Dems

Who knows best what is necessary to defeat our enemies?

The way this man was treated by the Dems this week was disgraceful. He was called a liar by the chief of liars, Mrs. Clinton. Oh, I forgot, it is only lying when done by a Republican.

Never forget

D-Day Remembered

A big THANK YOU to all those who participated in what happened on June 6, 1944 (D-Day) on the shores of Normandy. Thank you for making it possible for me to live in freedom.

The following is a copy of a prayer offered by FDR on this day in 1944:

Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer
June 6, 1944

My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.

And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas -- whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them--help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.

Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.

Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.

And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

Thy will be done, Almighty God.

Amen.


I wonder if our current President would get away with something like this.

Oh, the times sure have changed.

HEAVEN HELP US! MCG TO BE PRIEST
SWITCHES CHURCH ALLEGIANCE
By JEANE MacINTOSH and MARIANNE GARVEY

May 3, 2007 -- Call him Father Jim. Gay former Gov. Jim McGreevey is becoming an Episcopal priest and has been accepted to study at a seminary school in Chelsea.

The lapsed Catholic will enter a three-year master of divinity program at the General Theological Seminary in September, while undergoing the long process of ordination at St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue.

McGreevey, who sensationally announced that he was a "gay American" after former lover and aide Golan Cipel threatened to out him, went through the first step to becoming a priest on Sunday when he was received into the Episcopal church.

I would have no problem with this if he repents of his sins and attempts to live a chaste life. However, I doubt that will be required of him by those helping him in the discernment process.

Why not fast track him to be the next Bishop of NJ?

Truth is stranger than fiction!

Disgraceful Loser

Reid Offers Bleak Assessment of Iraq War

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans, who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops.

Senator Reid is a disgrace. He should resign from the Senate immediately and be brought up on charges of treason.

I would love to see him in an orange jump suit doing the perp walk.

Oh Happy Day

Finally some good news.

Glory to God.

Spring Snow Dumps on Upper Northeast

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A spring storm brought more than a foot of snow to parts of the upper Northeast, closing schools, tangling traffic and knocking out power to more than 100,000 homes and businesses on Thursday.

A major snow storm on April 5th. How can this be? If we as humans are so powerful to change the climate, why can't we prevent these things from happening. It must be George Bush's fault. Where was he when the snow started to fall? He just wants to make people buy more heating oil to pad the pockets of his friends.

Yeah right.

Childish behavior

Same-sex solidarity brings end to weddings: Grace Church stands up for homosexuals

BY Nick Grabbe Staff Writer
Published on March 12, 2007

Declaring a 'holy fast,' Grace Episcopal Church has decided to stop performing all wedding ceremonies because its bishops bar the blessing of same-sex unions.


'Gays and lesbians are the church, as much, if not more, as I am as a straight white man,' he said in his sermon. 'But this sacrament, and the grace it is meant to convey, is not available to them.'

Yes, it is available to them. They can marry anytime they want, just not to someone of the same sex.

'I am convinced that when gays and lesbians are baptized, they become full members of the body of Christ,' said Bullitt-Jonas. 'They are not partial members or conditional members or second-class members.'

They are full members. They must repent of there sins the same as everyone else.


This is pretty childish behavior. If I can't have my way, I am going to take my marbles and go home.

Aaaaaah......Nevermind

Frostbite, equipment damage end latest Bancroft-Arnesen trek

PATRICK CONDON
Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS - A North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was called off after one of the explorers got frostbite.

The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, on Saturday called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment.

You just can't make this stuff up. Sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit.

Aaaaah.......Nevermind!

Slippery Slope

Couple stand by forbidden love

By Tristana Moore
BBC News, Berlin

They share a small flat in an east German tower block on the outskirts of the city. It looks like an ordinary family scene, but Patrick is Susan's brother and they are lovers.

"Many people see it as a crime, but we've done nothing wrong," said Patrick, an unemployed locksmith.

"We are like normal lovers. We want to have a family. Our whole family broke apart when we were younger, and after that happened, Susan and I were brought closer together," he said.

Here we go. All the arguments used to support gay marriage can also be used to support this. Get out your skies. The slippery slope is getting icy.

UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister

OTTAWA (AFP) - A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

That's right. We need to ask those on the mother ship to help us save the planet because we are ALL GOING TO DIE.

Me thinks someone must have taken a hockey puck to the side of the head in his youth.

Pointy finger

Why do these people like to point their fingers at us? Do we need to be lectured to by them?

Ahhhh, NO! My momma said it is not nice to point.

Poor kid

So it is a baby, aay. Not just some tissue.

A small voice was heard from inside, "Yes, I choose to live".

The Apocalypse of Global Warming

A great article on Global Warming is here.

The article starts with this quote from Chesterton - "A man who ceases to believe in God does not believe in nothing; he believes in anything." - G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

The author hits the nail on the head.

The apocalyptic vision of global warming serves a deep need of the environmentalist credo, the dominant pseudo-religious tendency of our age in the prosperous West.

I find it interesting that many who look down their noses at people of faith are in themselves, people of faith, just in a different god. Of course, isn't that what Chesterton said.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day

President Bush Issues Proclamation For National Pro-Life Day on Sunday

by Steven ErteltLifeNews.com EditorJanuary 19, 2007
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --

President Bush issued the following proclamation on Friday, declaring Sunday as National Sanctity of Human Life Day and urging Americans to take part in pro-life activities that recognize the humanity of the unborn child:

Funny, I haven't seen anything about this in the main stream media.

Here is the declaration:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 21, 2007, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Right About the Left

Michael Medved has posted the following:

Lefty Lies and Lunacy About Iraq

The angry reaction to the President’s new policy in Iraq displays an abundance of inconsistencies on the part of the administration’s critics.

He ends with this:

In other words, the best recruiting poster of al Qaeda isn’t an image of Uncle Sam that looks warlike and angry and dangerous, but a vision of our country that shows Americans as timorous, indecisive, guilt-ridden and easily intimidated. In other words, it’s not consistency and toughness and courage that recruit terrorists, but weakness, confusion, retreat and surrender. .

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Reducing Breast Cancer

I have not seen or heard much about this in the MSM:

Housework cuts breast cancer risk

The research on more than 200,000 women from nine European countries found doing household chores was far more cancer protective than playing sport. Dusting, mopping and vacuuming was also better than having a physical job.

....

Out of all of the activities, only housework significantly reduced the risk of both pre-and post-menopausal women getting the disease. Housework cut breast cancer risk by 30% among the pre-menopausal women and 20% among the post-menopausal women.

Imagine that. I bet if women were told that chewing shoe leather would reduce their risk of breast cancer, it would be on every newscast and talk show 24/7. But this news has been kept on the QT. I can't imagine why.
