How many must die before Trump is stopped? ~~~ Personally, I would pass up any pizza for a Stromboli. ~~~ Little Caesar’s is not pizza. ~~~ Jailing people for hate speech breaks up families. Checkmate liberals. ~~~ Abortion is to miscarriage as arson is to faulty wiring. ~~~ There are abundant reasons to reject the proposition that all religions are equal, but even without these, the fact that atheists hold it would be enough. ~~~ Him: "Where are you from?" Me: "Nebraska." Him: "Where’s your accent?" Me: 😑 ~~~ In order to facilitate the equal treatment of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or creed, here is a list of all the ways one must treat minorities differently. ~~~ “Conservatives” have lost the distinction b/w “should not” and “must not.” This is why their “principles” are a cypher. One shouldn’t use vulgar language. At the same time, one mustn’t allow speech to be stifled simply because it’s vulgar. TruCons think both are “must no...

Beck's The Blaze takes a lesson from MSM

Image
How awesome is THIS? In his quest to create an alternative media empire, it seems as though Glenn Beck has been adopting some of the practices of the existing one. This is far from the first time I've noticed it, but I'm in the mood to pick some low-hanging fruit, today. Today's case-study is an exposé on the atheist Reason Rally currently being held in Washington, D.C.filmed for The Blaze by one Billy Hallowell . In the video, not only does Billy attempt to highlight atheistic ire for Christianity, but to expose them as hypocrites. His production cites the Q&A section of the Reason Rally website , which states: Are we just going to use this opportunity to trash religion? No. This will be a positive experience... Indeed, in interview after interview, the atheists all uniformly mock Christianity and faith in general. I just have one problem--and this comes from the accompanying article--Billy specifically asked each of the interviewees to condense Christianity into on...

Italy’s Return to Fascism - Precursor to Mark of the Beast?

Image
I’m not normally one to go all conspiracy theory about stuff, but when I heard this story today, this connection immediately came together in my mind. The story is that in December, an unelected technocrat government was appointed in Italy to impose austerity measures on the failing Euro nation. This government has no accountability and no fixed time mandate. The new government has passed a number of astonishing edicts including: A ban on cash transactions of over €1000 (~$1270 USD) with indications that this level will be gradually reduced to as low as €300 (~$380 USD); A requirement that credit card companies report all transactions carried out by Italians, in Italy and abroad to the fiscal authorities; Delays and refusals by banks in allowing customers to withdraw  cash balances of as little as Euro 10,000; Also, the Finance Police has placed cameras at the physical borders with Switzerland to register all license plates. In addition, currency-sniffing dogs have been deployed a...

Random Thoughts

Snippets from other conversations: I want leaders who are not afraid to speak and live their faith and whose principles are grounded in reliance upon God. I do not want leaders who use their station to impose morality on others. If God will not force Himself upon anyone, how shall any man suppose to do it for Him? Consensus is nothing but a shared bias. The office of the presidency has become too big. If a successful businessman who has turned the fortunes of not one but two industry-leading corporations, has served on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank, has served as CEO of one of the largest lobbying firms in DC, has sat on the boards of some of the world's largest firms, was instrumental in the defeat of the Clinton health care plan, has hosted a syndicated political radio talk-show and has literally been a rocket scientist doesn't have enough experience to be president, who does? No one without an interest in this world ever had a standing in it. I...
