Those Who Forget History Will Get Their Junk Squeezed

In preparation of the upcoming vacation season means everyday citizens will be traveling by air.
The great news is that it's OPEN GROPE SEASON!

What disturbs me the most is that amidst an avalanche of world uprising and murder, getting groped by the TSA isn't even an issue anymore.I used to get a laugh by calling the leader of the free world, 'Present Jimmy O'bama', after the most inept president ever. This isn't funny anymore. In just the space of a few years we've gone from steering a progressive agenda off the cliff with Bush to kicking in the afterburner and heading straight for the bottom. The leftist glee of seeing if we can break the speed of sound before pounding straight into the desert floor of death and ruin is suicidal.Even in NY, when stupid, intrusive, laws begin to affect 'them', suddenly the proggers are all about reform. Instead, they get a good re-wording.

"Our big, loving federal government picked up the same concept - only now it upgraded it from "random" to "universal - or as they say in New York, "the whole schmear." ...
"After a few short months even the progressive New Yorkers found the practical implementation of their own ideas of fairness and redistributive justice too absurd to continue."

It was a given that after a dismal election, an avowed Marxist revolutionary was now the president elect. Everyone knew what he was. Some agreed, some in vapid denial, most were appalled. The progressives got what they told us we wanted, problem is, once they sell a pack of lies they have to constantly upgrade those lies using truth as the hook--which immediately gets discarded.

"As we can see, even the toughest proponents of utopian relativist morality still need to rely on absolute standards in order to survive and advance their careers. No one can live on junk values alone; that utopian world exists entirely at the expense of the reality-based universe. Those who claim to live solely by impossible utopian principles are only deluding themselves and the others."

Now, as the State rises in power, and more Americans find themselves in poverty and chains than anybody will dare admit, folks are too overwhelmed to even care. They are further pressed into the cognitive dissonance of accepting a utopian worldview because the alternative might mean work. Commitment and work.
The TSA has just been unionized.
We can now expect an exponential expansion in numbers and uses of 'check point searches'. Proggers will be the ones demanding it. Proggers will beg for slavery.
For those Obamaites, how does it feel to get your junk squeezed as a slave now?
For the rest of us: Love, pray, serve, and be patient. God will punish the wicked with the wicked.

Atheism is a parasite on Religion

Atheism cannot survive on it's own. It needs something to ridicule and mock for it to give itself credibility. If Atheism ever overthrows religion, then some other belief system will rush in to take its place. Tarot cards, tea leaves, or sheep guts, the void left by a positive, legitimate, and uplifting system of law and beliefs will be filled by the destructive, amoral, and degrading.

The further we stray from the ability to think clearly, the more easily venal politicians can lead the people into captivity and away from God.

Education, real education, cannot exclude the Scriptures or mention of He who gave them.

Who has been thinking lately about how far from rational thinking our politics have gone. Socialization of everything and a dismissal of God.

Our new gods are junk science and litigiousness.

...[T]he prevalence of indiscipline and disease in a community leads... to the opening of law courts and surgeries in large numbers, and law and medicine begin to give themselves airs, especially when they are taken with great seriousness even by free men...

...[W]hen not only the lower classes as manual workers, but also those who have some pretensions to a liberal education, need skilled doctors and lawyers, that is a pretty conclusive proof that the education in a state is disgracefully bad. -- The Republic, Book III, By Plato; Desmond Lee, Henry Desmond Pritchard Lee. p.102

This is a great example of just how easily poorly educated people embrace their own enslavement.

ACORN Sure knows alot about nothing

Mormons & Prop8 Facts

Dear Friends,

In the aftermath of the recent election, we may find ourselves oddly on the defensive regarding our support for the Yes on Proposition 8 cause. Our young people have been especially subject to mean spirited comments by high school friends and teachers. We have nothing to be ashamed of. We did nothing wrong. In fact, we did everything that a civic minded American can and should do. I have put together a few facts that help me to appreciate our position better. For example:

1. Mormons make up less than 2% of the population of California. There are approximately 800,000 LDS out of a total population of approximately 34 million.

2. Mormon voters were less than 5% of the yes vote. If one estimates that 250,000 LDS are registered voters (the rest being children), then LDS voters made up 4.6% of the Yes vote and 2.4% of the total Proposition 8 vote.

3. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) donated no money to the Yes on 8 campaign. Individual members of the Church were encouraged to support the Yes on 8 efforts and, exercising their constitutional right to free speech, donated whatever they felt like donating.

4. The No on 8 campaign raised more money than the Yes on 8 campaign. Unofficial estimates put No on 8 at $38 million and Yes on 8 at $32 million, making it the most expensive non-presidential election in the country.

5. Advertising messages for the Yes on 8 campaign are based on case law and real-life situations. The No on 8 supporters have insisted that the Yes on 8 messaging is based on lies. Every Yes on 8 claim is supported.

6. The majority of our friends and neighbors voted Yes on 8. Los Angeles County voted in favor of Yes on 8. Ventura County voted in favor of Yes on 8.

7. African Americans overwhelmingly supported Yes on 8. Exit polls show that 70% of Black voters chose Yes on 8. This was interesting because the majority of these voters voted for President-elect Obama. No on 8 supporters had assumed that Obama voters would vote No on 8.

8. The majority of Latino voters voted Yes on 8. Exit polls show that the majority of Latinos supported Yes on 8 and cited religious beliefs (assumed to be primarily Catholic).

9. The Yes on 8 coalition was a broad spectrum of religious organizations. Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants, Orthodox Jews, Muslims – all supported Yes on 8. It is estimated that there are 10 million Catholics and 10 million Protestants in California. Mormons were a tiny fraction of the population represented by Yes on 8 coalition members.

10. Not all Mormons voted in favor of Proposition 8. Our faith accords that each person be allowed to choose for him or her self. Church leaders have asked members to treat other members with "civility, respect and love," despite their differing views.

11. The Church did not violate the principal of separation of church and state. This principle is derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The phrase "separation of church and state", which does not appear in the Constitution itself, is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, although it has since been quoted in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court in recent years. The LDS Church is under no obligation to refrain from participating in the political process, to the extent permitted by law. U.S. election law is very clear that Churches may not endorse candidates, but may support issues. The Church as always been very careful on this matter and occasionally (not often) chooses to support causes that it feels to be of a moral nature.

12. Supporters of Proposition 8 did exactly what the Constitution provides for all citizens: they exercised their First Amendment rights to speak out on an issue that concerned them, make contributions to a cause that they support, and then vote in the regular electoral process. For the most part, this seems to have been done in an open, fair, and civil way. Opponents of 8 have accused supporters of being bigots, liars, and worse. The fact is, we simply did what Americans do – we spoke up, we campaigned, and we voted.

Church Responds to Same-Sex Marriage Votes

SALT LAKE CITY 5 November 2008 COMMENTARY

Since Proposition 8 was placed on the ballot in June of this year, the citizens of California have considered the arguments for and against same-sex marriage. After extensive debate between those of different persuasions, voters have chosen to amend the California State Constitution to state that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Continued

---

Voters in Arizona and Florida took the same course and amended their constitutions to establish that marriage will continue to be between a man and a woman.

Such an emotionally charged issue concerning the most personal and cherished aspects of life — family, identity, intimacy and equality — stirs fervent and deep feelings.

Most likely, the election results for these constitutional amendments will not mean an end to the debate over same-sex marriage in this country.

We hope that now and in the future all parties involved in this issue will be well informed and act in a spirit of mutual respect and civility toward those with a different position. No one on any side of the question should be vilified, intimidated, harassed or subject to erroneous information.

It is important to understand that this issue for the Church has always been about the sacred and divine institution of marriage — a union between a man and a woman.

Allegations of bigotry or persecution made against the Church were and are simply wrong. The Church's opposition to same-sex marriage neither constitutes nor condones any kind of hostility toward gays and lesbians. Even more, the Church does not object to rights for same-sex couples regarding hospitalization and medical care, fair housing and employment rights, or probate rights, so long as these do not infringe on the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches.

Some, however, have mistakenly asserted that churches should not ever be involved in politics when moral issues are involved. In fact, churches and religious organizations are well within their constitutional rights to speak out and be engaged in the many moral and ethical problems facing society. While the Church does not endorse candidates or platforms, it does reserve the right to speak out on important issues.

Before it accepted the invitation to join broad-based coalitions for the amendments, the Church knew that some of its members would choose not to support its position. Voting choices by Latter-day Saints, like all other people, are influenced by their own unique experiences and circumstances. As we move forward from the election, Church members need to be understanding and accepting of each other and work together for a better society.

Even though the democratic process can be demanding and difficult, Latter-day Saints are profoundly grateful for and respect the ideals of a true democracy.

The Church expresses deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the many Latter-day Saints and others who supported the coalitions in efforts regarding these amendments.

What the Opposition Was Saying on Prop8

Dragging missionaries into this is irresponsible and will likely result in violence. Libs are notorious for such acts. Of course, lies and fear is all they have. When you don't have an argument, pound the other guy.
Reprehensible.
