Colorado congressman wants ballots printed only in English

Kudos to Senator Mike Coffman for daring to go against the tyranny of political correctness in order to promote common sense.  Apparently, he wants to have voter information, ballots, and registrations in English only.  Now there’s a novel idea since being able to read and write basic English is required to be an American citizen.  But, as usual, the PC nazi’s have to kill off half the rainforest in order to appease the laziness of the minority.

Do you realize how much paper and resources are wasted every year in order to print multilingual instructions and signs?  I remember not too long ago, I bought a DIY cabinet.  The manufacturers wasted FOUR pages of paper for an instruction that took one page in English because it was multilingual.  That’s pathetic.  If I move to another country, I would be respectful and intelligent enough to learn to read and write the language.  If not, I don’t need to live in that society.  The same goes for those who refuse to learn English here in America.

This is an interesting commentary of facts showing how biased our government is towards Islam versus Christianity.

I came across a show on TV the other day titled “The Doomsday Prophets”.  It was a panel of experts discussing how they believe the fall of America (and possibly the world) would take place.  It was quite interesting.  The four scenarios that they figured would be among the most likely are these:

The apparently happened in Britain, where Islam is expanding it’s foothold.  This is an example of someone trying to use the excuse of racism to manipulate the court system.  Though wearing a burqa in public is a religiously mandated thng, but I do agree that it is important to ascertain the identity of a person involved in suspicious or illegal activity.  That may include requiring a Muslim woman to temporarily lower her burqa in order to do so.  Aside from that, it is an obvious attempt to inflict damage on a police officer’s reputation.  It is an attempt at usurping the authority of the country that this woman is living in.  If she wants a government that respects her conviction to not remove her burqa, perhaps she needs to move back to a country that agrees with that tenet.

Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Elizabeth Edwards Funeral

I have heard of Westboro’s rather unChristian-like behavior in the past, but never paid much attention to them.  I happen to be watching CNN last night (no, I don’t make a habit of watching them, or any news show.  They came on after another show that I had been watching), and some commentator named Anderson (?) began talking about Westoboro’s latest antics.  And I realized just how messed up they really are.  When a group who claims to be Christians engage in actions to the contrary, there is something wrong with their teachings.

Former Daystar Employee Sues Evangelist Over Affair

Not too long ago, Marcus Lamb, televangelist and founder of DayStar Christian Television Network, came forward and announced an affair that he had some time ago.  He did this because three people in his organization were attempting to blackmail him for $7.5 million by threatening to bring his indiscretion to the public eye.  Apparently, this didn’t set too well with Jeanette Hawkins, one of the people attempting to blackmail him.  Being denied her booty by being cut off at the pass, she decided to continue her deceitfulness by filing a lawsuit against Lamb.  My, if she’s not a persistant, and greedy, one.

To give a disclaimer, this post is coming from a solely Christian point of view.  And as you read this, you will realize why many would call me a Fundie, Conservative, “Holier-than-thou”, and even a religious extremists.  And those are the nice titles.  I have debated with many, many people on a number of subjects–some are political,  but most are of a religious nature.  And the one thing I constantly hear is “Why can’t you be more tolerant?”  This coming from people who usually end up calling me vile names and such.  Yeah, real tolerant.

So, let’s look at the idea of tolerance.  Typically, the person preaching tolerance is using this definition of it:   sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).  That’s well enough.  Unfortunately, from my experience, most people preaching tolerance are far from being tolerant themselves because they have no sympathy for my beliefs that differ from their own.  But can true tolerance be practiced by anyone?  The only way I see it is if people do not debate or come against another person’s view or belief.  Not likely.  Our country was built on intolerance.  It was intolerance that started the Revolutionary War.  It was intolerance that started the Civil War. 

But what we have today, is a bunch of eunical (I’m being “tolerant” of people’s sensitivity) humanists pushing a perverted form of tolerance on everyone.  For example, many times I have had a somewhat intense debate with someone.  After some time, they grow frustrated and say something like “You really should learn to be tolerant.”  I reply “Maybe you should be too.”  They typically respond something with something like “I am tolerant!  Just not with people who believe like you!”  Huh?  Let me repost the definition of tolerance:   sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own. (emphasis mine).  So what many people mean, when they say they’re “tolerant”, is that they are tolerant of you….as long as you don’t disagree with them. 

The other argument I get (typically from a religious person, or someone who attends church only on Easter and Christmas and don’t even know where they stashed their Bible) is this.  “Well, if you really are a Christian, you’d be tolerant like Jesus was.”  To which I respond…”I am” or, sometimes if I’m really punchy, I’ll just be blunt and say “What an ignorant thing to say.”

Now, I could get into some spiritual teaching on Jesus’ first coming and second coming, the purpose of both, and the Lamb of God vs the Judge of Humanity and yada yada yada.  But that would take some time.  Perhaps I’ll do a quick teaching on it on my other blog someday.  But, sufficeth to say that even during Jesus’ time on here, He showed His intolerance.

Jesus said “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’  But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’” (Luke 13:24-27)  “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:22)

There are many people who say “God would never send a “good” person to hell.”  Jesus’ response is “No one is good but One, that is, God.”   And Jesus also said “ I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” and “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  So, again, we see that Jesus is not very tolerant.

“But Jesus ate with the drunks, tax collectors, and prostitutes!” is another argument from people trying to proclaim that Jesus was tolerant.  Which that statement is true.  Jesus did eat with those people.  But to what end?  Not to justify, endorse, or encourage their sin.  But rather to draw them out of their sin.  Zacchaeus and Matthew are two great examples of this.  Jesus even explained why He ate with the sinners.  “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”

“But what about the prostitute that was to be stoned?  Jesus said ‘You who are without sin, cast the first stone.’”  True.  But Jesus still didn’t condone her sin.  If you recall His last words to her were “Go and sin no more.”  So, again, Jesus is not tolerant.  Not only that, but this event was an example of the difference between the first covenant and the second covenant. 

So, to wrap up up this post, let me recap.  No, God is not tolerant of immorality and neither am I.  God is, however, tolerant of people (as am I).  And, if you’re going to preach at me about being tolerant, then practice it.  And how do you tell who those are that are truly tolerant?  They’re the ones not arguing with you.

Health Care Reform: Where’s the Equal Treatment?

When it comes to Obama’s new health care plan, he’s giving an exception to the biggest contributor to his health care plan.  It seems that some of the biggest companies can’t foot the bill for ObamaCare.  Anyone else not suprised?  But isn’t it interesting that a group, like this teacher’s union, would support a bill that they can’t afford?  I don’t know.  Either this teacher’s union is completely inept at financial management, or this “exemption” was something already agreed upon by both parties previously.

Either way, Obama is playing favorites.  I just got my paycheck, with my deduction for medical insurance.  It’s gone way up, and I can’t afford it anymore.  You think Obama will give me an exemption?  Or do I need to contribute millions of dollars to his cause first?  Either way…I end up screwed.

Can’t teach religion in public schools?  No problem!  We’ll just send them on a field trip to the local mosque where we’ll give them a religion immersion experience!  ROFL.  Where’s the ACLU on this one?  Cowering in the corner, afraid that some muslim extemist is going to kill them if they protest?  Yeah, I’d like to see them try and send a class on a field trip to full pentacostal church service!  The ACLU would be there, banging down the door before you could even get to the “meet and greet” part of the service.

*Sigh*  Such ineptness and double standard from our own citizenry and local, self-appointed, anti-religion brute squad.  But, hey!  At least it wasn’t in school!  So maybe that makes it alright.  If this had happened in my kids’ school, they never would have made it to the mosque.  They wouldn’t have made it off of the school property.  I would have contacted every TV news station, news paper, city official, government officials, National Inquirer, and Redbook.

This ain’t going down in my town! 

Ok. I’m done.  Anyone got a spare Ihram?

So, now we have this doowa wanting to burn Qu’rans in protest of the mosque in New York.  He’s claiming to be a Christian, but I can tell you that Jesus would have nothing to do with this.  I’m sure his motives are admirable, and that he’s doing what he thinks is right.  But burning Qu’rans does absolutely nothing, other than incite anger and put a lot of people in harm’s way.  The muslim extremists already have enough excuses of their own as to why we should be killed without us adding to that list by our own stupidity.

Planned Parenthood (an oxymoron at best) has been the trailblazer in legalized murder and promiscuous sex for many decades.  Since Margaret Sanger, outspoken eugenics and sexual immorality supporter, began her first birth control clinic in 1916, the value of human life has dropped.  Since then, countless millions of infants have died in the name of convenience.  That’s what PP is about.  Conveniece for those who are irresponsible.  PP has, since the beginning (and true to Sanger’s own sexual views) promoted promiscuous sex.  In her own words, “[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children…”  Not withstanding the Biblical view on  this subject, that is a very irresponsible attitude; but one that has been so easily accepted by lazy people.  Thus, the assurance of continued income for PP. 

So, in honor of embyotic stem cell research being put on hold, here are some pro-death defense for their actions….

What is the purpose of the Mosque near Ground Zero.  Is it, as Imam Rauf claims it to be, a “cultural community center” for improving interfaith dialogue?  Or could it be what many believe to be a recruiting center for radical Islam?  Or maybe it will follow what the history of Islam has shown, and simply be a shrine celebrating another radical Muslim victory in it’s war against the infidels; a Western Mecca of sorts.
