Why Don’t Christians Care?
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 2:24 am

From Powerline

In a number of places around the world, it is open season on Christians. We read of Christians burned out of their homes and slaughtered in Pakistan. Most recently, at least 500 Christians were murdered in Nigeria. The attackers in all cases are Muslims, inspired by the warlike message of their Prophet. AFP reports on the Nigerian attacks:

UN chief Ban Ki-moon and Washington led calls for restraint on Monday after the slaughter of more than 500 Christians in Nigeria, as survivors told how the killers chopped down their victims.

Funerals took place for victims of the three-hour orgy of violence on Sunday in three Christian villages close to the northern city of Jos, blamed on members of the mainly Muslim Fulani ethnic group. …

“We have over 500 killed in three villages and the survivors are busy burying their dead,” said state information commissioner Gregory Yenlong. “People were attacked with axes, daggers and cutlasses — many of them children, the aged and pregnant women.”

Do you remember the “massacre” at Jenin? Of course: Palestinians initially claimed that 500 had been killed, but it turned out that there was no massacre after all. In Nigeria, on the other hand, no one disputes that more than 500 Christians were slaughtered by Muslims. So where is the outrage? I don’t know what denomination those Nigerian Christians were, but Lutherans are the most numerous Christian denomination in Africa. I’m a Lutheran, but I have never heard a single word from any church source, local or national, about the mass murder of African Christians. No one seems to care.

No doubt readers can refer us to some Christian sources–evangelical, most likely–who have tried to draw attention to the plight of Christians in Africa, the Middle East and Asia who are being exterminated. But any such effort has wholly failed to gain traction in the “mainstream” Christian community.

Why? I can’t explain it. Maybe “mainstream” Christianity is dead, except as an appendage of secular liberal opinion. Maybe, as the world’s largest religion, Christianity has become so diffused that New World Christians don’t much relate to their co-religionists in Africa and Asia. I don’t know. What I do know is that it is much more dangerous to publish a cartoon of Mohammed than to slice apart a Christian with a machete.

Does Hollywood Make You Stupid?

It seems that way. Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood’s more respectable denizens, but that doesn’t save him from this remarkably dim-witted exchange, featured in the current issue of Time, as dissected by John Nolte at Big Hollywood. The subject is Hanks’s new HBO series on World War II in the Pacific. This is how the Time story ends:

Michael Moore is ‘Manufacturing Dissent’
Filed under: — kathy @ 11:27 pm

by Kathy

A CT reader has tipped me off to a new online documentary about Michael Moore entitled “Manufacturing Dissent”.manufacturingdissent.jpg

Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine are the creators and producers of Manufacturing Dissent. Initally, They wanted to make a positive film about Michael Moore. They were fans and like-minded politically.

After 2 years of working on the Moore documentary, they found that the truth led them in the opposite direction. Michael Moore purposely manipulates his documentaries to fit his left-wing ideology. The producers of Manufacturing Dissent provide a clear view into Michael Moore, the man and his work.

The resulting documentary is about 45-mins long and can be found here.

Sean Penn Praised by Hugo Chavez
Filed under: — kathy @ 10:09 pm

by Kathy

It is one thing to be against the war, as an American we all have that right. This however is over the line. To actively engage in dialog and trips to see a dictator, a dictator who stood in the United Nations and called President Bush Satan, is Anti-American. To those who wanted to give Sean Penn the benefit of the doubt before, can no longer, Sean Penn is a traitor. Read on..seanpenn.gif

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has praised Sean Penn for his critical stance against the war in Iraq, saying the two chatted by phone and soon plan to meet in person.

Chavez said Penn traveled to Venezuela this week wanting to learn more about the situation in the country and walked around some of Caracas’ poor barrios on his own.
“Welcome to Venezuela, Mr. Penn. What drives him is consciousness, the search for new paths,” Chavez said Wednesday in a televised speech. “He’s one of the greatest opponents of the Iraq invasion.”

Chavez read aloud from a recent open letter by Penn to President Bush in which the actor condemned the Iraq war and called for Bush to be impeached, saying the president along with Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are “villainously and criminally obscene people.”

The socialist president, who shares those views, said he and Penn talked by phone—”with my bad English but we understood each other more or less.”

Chavez said the two plan to meet Thursday. He called the actor “well- informed about what is happening in the United States and the world, in spite of being in Hollywood.”

What’s more, Chavez said, “he’s made great films.” The Venezuelan leader said he recently watched Penn’s Oscar-winning performance in the film “Mystic River.”

For his part, Penn on Wednesday toured Venezuela’s new film studios on the outskirts of Caracas. Penn, whose visit was unannounced, did not speak publicly.

Celebrity Idiots Attack Karl Rove
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 9:51 pm

from Curt at Flopping Aces

I’m sure you will be in a quandary to pick which side to believe in this story, a rabid left-wing blogger and a lefty celebrity or Karl Rove:

Against an elegant backdrop of political cocktail partying, singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow and top presidential adviser Karl Rove got into a heated exchange over global warming at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

Crow recently joined forces with Hollywood activist Laurie David in the “Stop Global Warming College Tour,” which pretty much is what it says. The duo was seen in a heated conversation with Rove, in an incident which quickly became the evening’s centerpiece of discussion.

An eye-witness recounted what they saw:

“Sheryl and Karl Rove were talking. Karl looked annoyed and she was poking him [angrily]. He started to leave and she pulled on his sleeve and pulled him back. Rove tried to walk away.”

Crow recounted her conversation with Rove to our observer, saying, “I went to talk to him about the global warming project, and he said, ‘You should look at what the Administration is doing.’ I said ‘What IS the administration doing?’ And he said, ‘I don’t need to be confronted like this.’ I said ‘you work for me,’ and he said ‘I don’t work for you, I work for the American people.’ “I said I am ‘American people!’”

Eventually the exchange ended, but clearly not amicably. A visibly stricken Crow told our eyewitness: “I’m still shaking about it. I’m not a scientist but I know a little about global warming. I couldn’t believe how combative and rude he was.”

But another witness came to Rove’s defense: “Laurie David was in his face, being very aggressive, (which was) really inappropriate for the setting. She was intentionally picking a fight so that she could get it written about. Crow came over, she was less aggressive, a little sheepish. Then David walked away. Then Crow left,” reported our source, who claimed to have no reason to side with Rove on the controversy, but considered what the women did to be, “so wrong.”

Supposedly Crow was so “stricken” by the encounter she had to leave, but David went right to blogging about the incident.

I’m sure Crow just loves it when fans tug on her, pull on her clothing, and such but she thought nothing about doing it to Karl Rove because he is so eeeeevvvviiiiiil. From the idiots blog:

Eco-Celebrities Spew Ideological Toxins
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 8:41 pm

by Frederick Meekins

One thing about the various threats conspiring to undermine human liberty is that, even if they fall out of public view for a while, it won’t be long until they resurface with a renewed ferocity to bend the people of the United States to the will of the elites. With the threats of immigration and the war on terror (both from foreign heathen fanatics as well as those within our own government out to use these efforts to protect the innocent from such violence as an excuse to implement measures that will do very little to actually protect the nation but only make it less free) it has been a while since most concerned Americans have given much thought to the subversive machinations of those claiming to make ecology their primary focus of ethical concern. However, in light of statements made by those straddling that ghoul-filled spectrum between politician and entertainer regarding their environmental visions, freedom lovers would do well to once again expose the dangers that result from those with a sense of guilt for having acquired exorbitant fortunes in a less-than productive manner wanting to control your life in an attempt to assuage their own consciences.

During the 1990’s, Al Gore carved out a niche for himself in the American political landscape as a proponent of a revolutionary environmentalism that went beyond being a good steward of the earth by taking your trash with you after a picnic at the beach so that a sea turtles don’t end up ingesting plastic bags thinking they are jelly fish but rather to embrace the notion that the entire basis of our civilization had to be reconstructed from the ground up including religious, political, and family structures as detailed in “Earth In The Balance””. Distracted by more important things such as having to invent the Internet, rehashing the 2000 election ad nauseam, and deciding whether or not to grow a beard, Gore seemed to stray from his original focus for a while.

However, this errant apostle of Mother Earth has come back to his true faith with the release of his documentary about global warming titled “An Inconvenient Truth””. In it, Gore once again ascends the pulpit warning us ignorant slobs how we must repent of our industrialized ways or face ecological judgment.

But while the rest of us are suppose to adopt entire new modes of existence simply because someone of Al Gore’s charisma and dynamism tells us to, Gore himself does not abide by the environmentally conscientious strictures he wishes to impose upon the rest of us.

For example, throughout much environmentalist propaganda it is suggested that government should place limitations on the number of children a person should be allowed to have through a number of coercive measures ranging from fines to outright forced abortions or sterilizations for those refusing to abide by the guidelines to prevent overpopulation. However, Gore has reproduced on three separate occasions.

Does the former Vice President care to admit to being a closet eugenicist as well? For to go around saying that people should only be allowed to have one or at most two children irrespective of whether or not they can provide for them and then himself sire three children basically says, “Since I am superior to you, I don’t have to abide by the same standards to be imposed upon the classes of humanity inferior to my semi-divine self.” Though the Eastern spirituality espoused by Gore is notorious for promulgating the notion of the divine spark within, it seems some of it supposedly have a bit more of it than others if some are going to be allowed to do as they please while the rest of us will be compelled to toe the line in the name of Mother Earth.

For example, while the rest of us are supposed to pearback our lifestyle by turning down the heat, eating lower on the food chain by eating less meat and more locally grown produce (how you are to avoid winter starvation by following that guidelines is conviently overlooked), and be content with smaller vehicles and living spaces, according to an August 10, 2006 USA Today titled “Gore Isn’t Quite As Green As He’s Led The World To Believe” the former Vice President has a 10,000 square-foot, 20 room, 8 bathroom (I wonder how many of them have those irritating low-flush toilets where the water level is so low in the bowl that one has to reach in with a wad of tissue and manually wipe the smears off once one has completed their business yet since Gore acts constipated half the time anyway I guess it’s not much of an issue) as well as an additional 4,000 square-foot home in the Washington Metropolitan Area where empty nesters such as Al and Tipper could easily live comfortably in a home a third of that size if they were really dedicated to conservation and the preservation of resources). It was also later revealed that Gore spends $3000 a month on electricity while the rest of us are suppose to turn the thermostat back and Congress is mulling over a proposal that will force a switch to fluorescent bulbs and then probably sit back and wonder why cataract rates will skyrocket.

It would be one thing if this eccentric behavior confined itself to a single kook such as the former Vice President as Al Gore isn’t exactly known for possessing the kind of charisma necessary to inspire revolution alone, or in other words, to get the lemmings off the cliff all by himself. Unfortunately, as an inherently egomaniacal lot, numerous entertainers have bought into a similar mindset that it is their destiny to live as lords of the dawning cosmic era by shaming the rest of us into adopting a mandatory neo-primitivism.

One of the most irritating harpies deluding the ignorant with the banshee’s wail of pending ecological catastrophe is Barbara Streisand Several years ago, to get Californians to do their part to alleviate that state’s energy shortage, Streisand suggested residents hang their wash on a clothesline while she continued to illuminate the exterior of her mansion with bright lights.

However, the environmental hypocrisy does not end there for the megastar, of whom it was pointed out on Hannity and Colmes that she forbids the staffs of the hotels where she stays from gazing upon her visage as if she was some pre-WWII Japanese monarch (but maybe then again she is so ugly maybe she’s afraid they will turn to stone if they look upon her like those looking upon Medusa in Greek mythology.

Streisand announced that she is embarking on a twenty concert tour in part to combat ““dangerous climate change”. So while you as a grubby commoner are suppose to dry your clothes on a line, Streisand plans on expending fossil fuels and expelling toxins into the atmosphere to go around telling the nation why we should be shamed if we exhibit the audacity to do the same.

This is about as dimwitted as Arianna Huffington response to an inquiry by Sean Hannity when he exposed that, while she was heading a campaign against SUV’s, she was hopping rides on private jets. She responded that “The planes were going there anyway.” At least Huffington is easier on the eyes than Streisand’s gnarled countenance. Americans should do their part for the environment by boycotting the Streisand concerts. (more…)

more proof the ACLU and many on the left are anti-christian
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 12:02 am

The Missouri House is looking at legislation to preserve and respect the Christian heritage of the State.

The media have not been honest in their reporting of this legislation, and…The left are freaking out!

Read this.
____________________________________________________________________________________
The fascists who bring down America will not be wearing brownshirts and displaying swastikas, but rather they will be carrying Bibles and displaying the cross. Radical Russ.

There is no doubt that the Religious Right, a.k.a. Christ-o-Fascists want to eliminate most, if not all of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

They want to establish America as a Christian Theocracy, in which they can kick-out the non-Christians and revert to some Dark Ages type society. It is long past time for the Christians in America who don’t wish to see their religion perverted into some sort of Fascist theocracy to stand up and be counted. The Supreme Irony

Luckily bloggers like Adam’s Blog, Gateway Pundit, Another Rovian Conspiracy, and Christians Who Think know how to do research before copy and pasting freak outs!
____________________________________________________________________________________
First of all, it is a resoultion, not a bill. It will not affect legislation.

Second: It’s obvious that the purpose of the resolution is not to establish Christianity as an official religion of the State of Missouri, rather, its purpose is to express the sentiment of the Missouri House that things like voluntary prayer in schools and religious displays on public property should be allowed.

Here is the resolution (What the lefties should have sourced)

Whereas, our forefathers of this great nation of the United States recognized a Christian God and used the principles afforded to us by Him as the founding principles of our nation; and

Whereas, as citizens of this great nation, we the majority also wish to exercise our constitutional right to acknowledge our Creator and give thanks for the many gifts provided by Him; and

Whereas, as elected officials we should protect the majority’s right to express their religious beliefs while showing respect for those who object; and

Whereas, we wish to continue the wisdom imparted in the Constitution of the United States of America by the founding fathers; and

Whereas, we as elected officials recognize that a Greater Power exists above and beyond the institutions of mankind:

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, that we stand with the majority of our constituents and exercise the common sense that voluntary prayer in public schools and religious displays on public property are not a coalition of church and state, but rather the justified recognition of the positive role that Christianity has played in this great nation of ours, the United States of America.

There is the truth of the legislation, and you can like it, or not, but at least be honest about it. Freaking out calling the right a bunch of brown shirts, and acting like a chicken little screaming that the sky is falling, and Missouri is going to haul off all the non-Christians to gas chambers, only makes the left look even more like idiots than they already do.
from Stop the ACLU.

Need more proof, well the ACLU is slient on the case of a Virginia teacher who has a picture of George Washinton praying removed but quickly accepted a GEOGRAPHY teacher who was taped giving an anti-Bush lecture. I guess his free speech does not matter, and the ACLU cares more about the seperation of Church and State. Oh, that’s right, there is no seperation of Church and State in the Constitution.

Why the attack on Christianity??

because if God is dead, all things are permissable.

ACLU fights Commandments in Tennessee
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 1:16 am

In the wake of major decisions on public display of the Ten Commandments, the American Civil Liberties Union is asking a federal court to order removal of a Tennessee courthouse exhibit.

“The posting of the Ten Commandments sends the message that only certain believers can receive justice at the courthouse,” said Hedy Weinberg, executive director of ACLU of Tennessee.

The ACLU filed the motion yesterday in U.S. District Court.

Weinberg said “residents should not be made to feel like second class citizens because they do not hold the prevailing religious beliefs promoted by the county government.”

The display in Rutherford County was approved by a 16-5 vote of the county commission in April 2002, but two months later, federal court Judge Robert Echols issued a preliminary injunction removing it.

The decision was stayed, however, pending a decision on similar cases in two Kentucky counties, McCreary and Mercer.

In each of the counties, the Ten Commandments is displayed among historical documents. The Rutherford County display includes copies of the preamble to the Tennessee Constitution, the National Motto, the National Anthem, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the United States Constitution and the Mayflower Compact.

Last June, the Supreme Court in a split 5-4 decision upheld a preliminary injunction against McCreary County because the court said the prior history of the county’s evolving display suggested a religious purpose. However, the court permitted the case to return to the trial court for a final ruling.

In the meantime, Dec. 20, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court to which the Rutherford County case will be appealed, upheld Mercer County’s identical display.

That court scolded the ACLU, rejecting its “repeated reference to ‘the separation of church and state.’”

“This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome,” the court said. “The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state.”

Florida-based Liberty Counsel, which represents all three counties, notes it also defeated the ACLU in defense of a similar display in Elkhart County, Indiana, before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I believe the tide is turning on the ACLU in the area of ten commandment cases. The “seperation of Church and State” argument has grown tiresome, and hopefully more judges will start ruling on what the Consitution really says, and not what revisionist have twisted it to say.

Mathew D. Staver, president and general counsel of Liberty Counsel believes that with Judge Samuel Alito’s expected confirmation to the Supreme Court, “the ACLU can no longer count on the High Court to further their agenda.”

I hope he is right. I’m tired of the ACLU trying to secularize our history.

Hollywood’s New War Effort: Terrorism Chic
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 7:11 pm

By Jason Apuzzo

Slow to awaken after the 9/11 attacks, Hollywood has finally come around to contributing what it can in the War on Terror: namely, glossy, star-studded movies that sympathize with the enemy.

Hard to believe? Here’s the pitch: with box-office numbers trending down, studio executives are suddenly greenlighting movies they can describe to shareholders as ‘controversial’ or ‘timely.’ Whether the films are anti-American or otherwise demoralizing to the war effort is apparently immaterial. Its appetite whetted by “Fahrenheit 9/11″‘s $222 million worldwide gross, Hollywood thinks it’s found a formula for both financial security and critical plaudits: noxious anti-American storylines, bathed in the warm glow of star power.

Here are just a few films already in the pipeline:

- “V For Vendetta.” From Warner Brothers and the creators of “The Matrix” comes this film about a futuristic Great Britain that’s become a ‘fascist state.’ A masked ‘freedom fighter’ named V uses terror tactics (including bombing the London Underground) to undermine the government – leading to a climax in which the British Parliament is blown up. Natalie Portman stars as a skinhead who turns to ‘the revolution’ after doing time as a Guantanamo-style prisoner.

- “Munich.” Steven Spielberg directs this film about the aftermath of the 1972 Olympic terror attacks that killed eleven Israeli athletes. “Munich”‘s screenplay is written by playwrite Tony Kushner (“Angels in America”), who has been quoted as saying: “I think the founding of the state of Israel was for the Jewish people a historical, moral, political calamity … I wish modern Israel hadn¹t been born.” The film focuses on the crisis of conscience undergone by Israeli commandos tasked with killing PLO terrorists – rather than on the barbarity of the terrorists themselves.

- “Untitled Oliver Stone 9/11 Project.” Paramount will distribute Oliver Stone’s new film recounting the rescue of two Port Authority officers after the 9/11 attacks. The film will star Nicholas Cage and Maggie Gyllenhaal – who recently suggested that America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

As for Stone, he had this to say only a month after 9/11: “This attack was pure chaos, and chaos is energy. All great changes have come from people or events that were initially misunderstood, and seemed frightening, like madmen.”

“Syriana.” Starring George Clooney and Matt Damon, this Warner Brothers film – set during the first Bush administration – features a plot by American oil companies and the U.S. government to redraw Middle East borders for greater oil profiteering. The film even depicts a handsome, ‘tragic’ suicide bomber driven to jihad after being fired by an American oil company! The film’s climax comes with the jihadist launching an explosive device into an oil tanker as American oil barons and Saudi officials look on.

“The Scorpion’s Gate.” Sony has optioned former terrorism-czar Richard Clarke’s novel about oil companies and Washington politicians colluding to reshape the map of the Middle East for greater oil profiteering – this time by launching a global nuclear war.

“The Chancellor Manuscript.” Paramount reworks Robert Ludlum¹s 1977 thriller into an anti-Patriot Act star vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio. Here’s the film’s screenwriter, Michael Seitzman: “We live in this crazy post-Patriot Act environment where Benjamin Franklin¹s warning that ‘those that give up essential liberties for temporary security don¹t deserve either one’ are being ignored, so the subject matter seemed ripe.”

“No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah.” Universal has attached Harrison Ford to star as real-life General Jim Mattis – in this story blaming the White House for the deaths of fifty Marines in one of the Iraq war’s deadliest battles. Based on the book of the same name by Bing West.

Hollywood’s Suicide
Filed under: — Robert Farrow @ 12:51 am

Michael Moore’s possible Oscar nod and being named one of ABC’s Most Fascinating People pretty much shows where most of Hollywood is coming from politically (no surprise). If MM wins best actor, there will be one major backlash. Also, an admission by many of the judges that they had not even seen another possible Oscar “The Passion of the Christ” gives you a clue to their devotion to religion. I am sure more on this subject will appear soon.

Hollywood fat-ass director Michael Moore had this to say regarding the passengers of flight 93, the flight that went down in the field in Somerset, PA on 9/11. -”(T)he passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes.”

George Clooney -
“What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. Even Reagan knew more about leadership than that, and he was as bad a symbol of America as I can think of, off-hand. But at least he’s been in enough cowboy movies to know he had to come out and stand on top of the rubble and be seen shaking his fist or something.” And like a true liberal who resorts to name calling and cruel attacks, Clooney also makes fun of Charlton Heston having Alzheimer’s by saying, “Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.” But that was just a slip of the tongue right? Taken out of context right? Well when asked about it he added, “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves whatever anyone says about him.”

Alec Baldwin -
“…We would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! …Then we would go into their homes and kill their wives and families

In a profile entitled “Don’t Tread On Janeane” written by Trish Deitch, Garofalo, the comedian/actress/waitress, regurgitated the following, “Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh my God, you’re insulting me.’ That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, ‘We’re here, we’re queer!’ — that’s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.”

Jane Fonda -
“I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists.”
