Friday Fundamentals: A Return To My Roots
With my bandwidth issues behind me (at present), let me get back to what I do best: irresponsible, extremist right-wing tirades:
- WMDs, Cover-Ups, Political Spin, Etc
The Hidden Blogger wrote a darn good bit about the recent announcement of the location if WMDs in Iraq. The thing is, the WMDs that were found in Iraq were kept secret for a number of valid reasons... reasons that may have saved lives:
The revelation that Coalition forces have discovered about 500 shells containing chemical weapons (mostly sarin nerve gas and mustard gas) since 2003, most of which are pre-1991 Gulf War vintage, leads to the question as to why the U.S. waited so long to reveal this. The U.S. government has taken a beating for supposed failures to find weapons of mass destruction in the press, and from political opponents...
If the United States were to have announced WMD finds right away, it could have told terrorists (including those from al-Qaeda) where to look to locate chemical weapons. This would have placed troops at risk – for a marginal gain in public relations...
In other words, the Bush administration kept their mouths shut, sucked it up, and let the press and the liberals trash them all this time with the hopes that by doing so, lives would be saved.
Once again, the futility of thoughtless liberal outrage is writ large for all who care to pay attention. - Abortion Is Racist. Period.
Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell makes a strong point:(Blackwell's) book (Rebuilding America)... says: "Statistics show that between 1882 and 1969, 3,446 blacks were lynched in the United States. That number is bypassed by the number of African-American abortions every three days." He calls it "genocide by abortion."
Another chapter says: "The politics of guilt, rage and violence have now had more than four decades of robust expression in America. Yet making white America feel guilty for the racial discrimination suffered by African-Americans has not worked."
Look around. Pay attention. Who shows up waving signs at the pro-abortion rallies? Middle-class, liberal whites. In other words, the people who enthusiastically support abortion through political action are, according to the numbers, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING ABORTIONS. Wake up, black Americans. The white liberals are trying to kill you off, one by one, in the womb.
HT: A Regular Guy. - Our Lover, Who Art In Heaven
The leadership of the Presbyterian Church in America has proposed some radical, gender-free changes to the age-old names by which we Christians refer to the Godhead. Apparently, the terms Father, Son, and Holy Spirit just don't cut it in today's oh-so sensitive world.
Strange Culture has a great list of the terms they're considering:- Mother, Child and Womb
- Rock, Redeemer and Friend
- Lover, Beloved, and Love
- Creator, Savior and Sanctifier
- King of Glory, Prince of Peace and Spirit of Love
- Rainbow, Ark, and Dove
- Speaker, Word and Breath
Oh, my rainbow. - My Favorite New Music Video And Song
First of all, you need to know that Gnarls Barkley isn't a he. Gnarls Barkley is a them. Now that you know that, check out this amazing video. The visuals are great, and the song has a catchy, Marvin-Gaye classic soul feel:
Have a good weekend. I'll wrap up with a picture that I stumbled across on the net. It made me laugh out loud.

Excellent point on the "saving lives". I'll have to remember that one on my back-and-forth with leftists.
And that is quite the shame about the Presbies. We all have to keep the message clear, and not worry about offending. Loving someone enough to not offend is less than loving someone enough to possibly save them from the fires of hell. The shame is that so many people are most likely loved all the way to damnation by wishy-washy "Christianity".

Yep. I agree 100%. One of my heroes, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, called it "cheap grace."
Check out this great quote from Bonhoeffer's memoirs, written shortly before he was executed by the Nazis:
Both modern liberal theology and secular totalitarianism hold pretty much in common that the message of the Bible has to be adapted more or less, to the requirements of a secular world. No wonder, therefore, that the process of debasing Christianity as by liberal theology led, in the long run, to a complete perversion and falsification of the essence of Christianity teaching by National Socialism.
Just for the sake of being academically clear, I want to point out that the "national socialism" that Bonhoeffer was talking about isn't the same as what most people mean by "socialism" in modern terms. He was talking about something far more evil... and, unfortunately, something for more practically implemented.

Margaret Sanger had a name for "genocide by abortion"...it's called eugenics. MLK's daughter is one of the strongest, outspoken advocates for this point. She rightly points out that abortion is a "black thing" more than it is any otehr race. And the saddest thing is that most black woman who choose abortion aren't educated very well about what abortion really is. Most haven't seen pictures of early fetuses. I don't hold them near as accountable as the young white liberal college women who rally round the pro-choice flag.

Jamie, since you don't have a link, I'm assuming that you're neither of the Jamies I know who have blogs. Do you have a blog or website? You've presented your ideas so well, so succinctly and so powerfully that I'd love to read more of your writing.
Also, it doesn't hurt that I completely agree with you. Yes, I'm always happy to sit in the choir and listen to a good preacher, if you get my drift.

Hey,
It is the Jamie you know...I didn't want to use my blog name because I would like to keep it apolitical. So I guess I need to emphasize when it's Jamie, the guy who's house you come over to.
