Is it Time to Draw Some Lines in the Sand?

First, as I mentioned a couple days ago in Free for Coming, the courts in New Jersey ruled that eHarmony, founded by a Christian, Neil Clark Warren, had to offer a system whereby homosexuals could also be matched on “29 dimensions of personality”.

The eHarmony Shakedown

Now, of course, President-Elect Obama has promised that the Freedom of Choice Act would be at the top of his priority list; this godless legislation would effectively strike down all restrictions on abortion, and compel all hospitals with obstetrics programs to perform abortions. Never mind that a significant percentage of the nation’s hospitals are run by religious groups, notably Catholics, who are determined not to allow abortions to take place in their hospitals. And thus the question is raised:

Will the Catholic Bishops Shut Down the Hospitals?

In my humble opinion, the time has come to draw a line in the sand. Neil Clark Warren? Shut down eHarmony; your dream entailed helping couples find compatible marriage partners, not contribute to the moral decline of our nation. Catholic bishops? If FOCA is passed, and it comes down to it, shut down the Catholic hospitals. Will Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem close? Will others? There are principles at stake, and if people of faith do not defend the First Amendment against the encroachment of a government intoxicated with its own power, who will?

Separating Truth from Fiction re Abortion

These four “facts” were cited by, among others, Mrs. Bill Clinton, Screamin’ Howie, Senator Lurch, and the Obamessiah.

1. Abortion rates dropped under Clinton.
2. Abortion rates dropped under Clinton because of Clinton.
3. Abortion rates rose under Bush.
4. Abortion rates rose under Bush because of Bush.

Without looking, how many of these do you think are actually true?

African-American Genocide, Right Before Our Eyes…

And Barack Obama’s positions will do nothing to stop it:

The Most Dangerous Time to be a Black Baby

Will Keith Olbermann Keep Lying?

And the New York Times, and Margaret Carlson, and Linton Weeks, and Al Hunt, and ThinkProgress…now that the truth is out about Sarah Palin and her alleged “budget cuts” regarding Alaska Special Olympics.

Only in liberal La-La Land could a 10% increase in funding equal a “cut”.

And we wonder why we’re in the spending mess we’re in…

Thanks, regular commenter Warren, for finding time in your non-life to write this piece (here’s betting Kengor did all the work…).

The Rest of the Story

Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman on Good Morning America:

If She Weren’t the Governor of Alaska…

Sarah Palin would be my choice for vice-president. Read the cool story about this awesome lady:

Welcome to the World, Trig Paxson Van Palin

Heck, she might be my choice anyway. What a wonderful face for the conservative movement.

Scary…I Think I Agree with Mrs. Bill Clinton!

Clinton Calls on Bush to Boycott Olympics Opening Ceremonies

Granted, it’s hard not to see this as typical political gamesmanship, but nonetheless, I think Mrs. Bill is on target. Of course, were I the Prez, I’d also point out China’s “one child” policy, which often leads to abortions and even genocide, and ask the Clinton and Obama-types to condemn that as well.

  • No Kool Aid Zone?

    drink the Kool-Aid - to accept an argument or philosophy blindly.

    no kool aid zoneThis phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.

    Radically Tolerant - of all people, irrespective of race, faith, circumstance. As a person, you will be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve as an individual created in the image of God.

    Radically Intolerant - of slipshod reasoning, emotion without intellectual substance, bad ideas, lazy thinking, cowardly ad hominem attacks, the preposterous notion that 9/11 is some government conspiracy (proceed directly to the Loony Bin; do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200), the designated hitter, and the Dallas Cowboys.
