A Nationwide Campaign Of Terror

Courage in the Face of Terror:

The reality is that when providers must cross state lines to work, and when they and their families are menaced in multiple states by a nationally coordinated network of criminals, a concerted federal effort is essential.

Until targeted harassment of women’s health-care professionals is redefined as domestic terrorism rather than “protest,” and until it is prosecuted as such, neither abortion providers nor women’s constitutionally protected right to abortion will be safe.

We all know that Jesus would torment elderly people in nursing homes. It must be in the Bible somewhere:

...to extremists, no place is sacred. Providers’ elderly parents have been tormented in their nursing homes.

Missionaries Of Mercy

Pope Francis is talking again. Why does anyone pay attention?

Pope to Ease Way for Forgiving 'Sin of Abortion' in Holy Year:

Pope Francis has decreed that priests may absolve women of the "sin of a procured abortion" during the Holy Year next year, The Washington Post reported.

Ordinarily, only bishops or the Pope himself can absolve people of the sin of abortion, which leads to excommunication from the Catholic Church. The move will empower priests to pardon women for having an abortion, while the Vatican will be sending out "missionaries of mercy" across the world.

"The missionaries of mercy are priests sent out by the Holy Father at the beginning of Lent. The Pope is sending them out [to dioceses and parishes] as a tangible sign of how a priest should be a man of pardon, close to everyone," Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the president of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization and the Pope's point man on the organization of Holy Year, according to The Irish Times.

Fisichella said that the absolution would be extended not only to women who had gotten an abortion, but also to doctors and health workers who had performed it.

The move would be significant given that the United Nations has previously condemned the church for excommunicating the mother and doctor of a 9-year-old girl who had an abortion in Brazil in 2009 after she was raped by her stepfather and became pregnant with twins, the Daily Mail reported.

Is this supposed to be some kind of progress? Catholics still consider abortion a sin. What has changed here? Before the pope made this statement Catholic women who considered abortion a sin probably went to confession, and they probably were surprised that their priest could not absolve them. Will there now be a run on Catholic confessionals of Catholic women thinking "Oh goodie, now I can be saved"?

If there is anything that should be considered sacred, it is the human female body. Without it the human race would cease to exist. None of us, including the pope, would be here. Yes, the pope's parents had sex! Why does the male Catholic hierarchy insist on treating women like crap?

Catholics believe some strange things. What of all the Catholic women who have had an abortion, but died before Pope Francis changed the rules of absolution? Are they in hell? What of all the women who have had an abortion and are not Catholic? Are they all going to hell?

Is a sin still a sin if you can be absolved of it? The Catholic Church has their opinion of this, and it doesn't make much sense to me. A person could be the most evil person on Earth during his lifetime and be absolved of sin just before he dies and go to heaven. Another person could live a saintly existence yet not believe in the Catholic God, and he goes to hell. I can't understand that.

Some think that Pope Francis cares about climate change. I'm with those who think that he does not. If he really cared about climate change he would support population control, which means he would support birth control and abortion. He cares more about dogma than he cares about the Earth. The Earth is often referred to as Mother Earth. Perhaps this is why the Pope doesn't think it deserves any real respect.

After the "Holy Year" do things go back to the way they were before?

Why are the missionaries of mercy all men?

Why does anyone think that an unmarried celibate man is an authority on women's reproductive health?

What Would Jesus Do?

Would Jesus go on Facebook in order to harrass and bully an elementary school teacher?

Teacher harassed on Facebook and at her school for her work as an abortion clinic escort:

Courtesy of Cosmopolitan:  

Shana Broders has been an elementary school teacher for over two decades. For the last year and a half, she has spent her downtime as a clinic escort, helping patients at a nearby North Carolina abortion provider navigate their way past the protesters and into the building for services. For that, a group of extreme anti-abortion activists wants to get her fired from her job. As a new school year begins, they have escalated their efforts, harassing her school by phone and threatening to picket. Broders tells Cosmopolitan.com how her school has responded and why no threats will make her give up supporting a person's right to a legal, safe abortion procedure.

Unfunny And Immature Ex-Presidents

Why did we ever want these guys as our supreme leader?

The National Automobile Dealers Association members who laughed at these two clowns should be ashamed of themselves.

Wolf Blitzer is an ass.

One time we thought we'd outsmarted the crowd. We sent a decoy limousine off in one direction while I snuck out the back entrance. And we rounded the corner -- I'll never forget it -- and I saw one of the ugliest and angriest women I have ever seen in my entire life. Boy, she was really bad. And she charged my car with a sign... and came up right next to the window: "Stay out of my womb!" No problem, buddy (lady?).

I won’t give my opinions on how attractive I think Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton are. Perhaps you can guess. I will say that the world would be a better place if George W. Bush had never been born.

Update:
Instead of ending with “No problem, buddy (lady?)” Bush should have said “Bar, I wish you had told me that sooner.”

God Cares About How You Vote

God wants you to vote McCain/Palin. It says so in the Bible. The Bible also tells us that anyone who votes Obama/Biden is screwed. You know the routine, eternal damnation and hell fire and all of that.

In all my years of reading the Bible I wonder why I keep missing the part that says “Vote for McCain”? I’ve found lots of parts that tell me I’m screwed.

It appears that God does not believe in democracy. I’m glad that I don’t believe in God. God is unpatriotic and Un-American. God is Unconstitutional. God is an autocratic dictator.

From You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama by Janet Porter:

To all those who name the name of Christ who plan to willfully disobey Him by voting for Obama, take warning. Not only is our nation in grave danger, according to the Word of God, so are you.

Aren’t there laws against voter intimidation in the United States? Do they pertain to God? Do they pertain to Janet Porter?

In one week, America will make a choice. And to those who call themselves "Christian" who are planning on voting for Barack Obama, put down the Obama talking points and read God's voter guide before you go to the polls:

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Somehow “choose life” becomes anti-abortion, as a political tool. Why can’t “choose life” mean a woman’s right to choose, not the government choosing for her?

It's not just about "hope" and "change." Proverbs 6:16-22 states there are some things God hates.

These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

Obama-Biden are pro-death. McCain-Palin are pro-life.

Now choose life that you and your children may live.

I wonder how many Iraqi fetuses have died because of George W. Bush? Where is the Christian outrage over their deaths? Where is Janet Porter’s outrage over this? No outrage, just the outrageous claim that God wants us to vote for someone who will carry on George’s very Un-Christian work in Iraq. What about the unborn in Iran that McCain has plans to kill? What was that talk about "hands that shed innocent blood"?

Read again those six things that God hates, I mean hates. Watch out, now they are seven abominations. (If a Christian types “Lord” instead of “LORD”, do they go to hell?) How six things that God hates become seven abominations, God only knows. The reason God does not play dice is because he doesn’t know how to count. God must not be very happy with George W. Bush right now. Isn’t Bush guilty on all seven counts?

Vote for McCain/Palin, so that if you do choose to have an abortion you will have to do it yourself with a coat-hanger. Vote for McCain/Palin, so that your children will have to go fight the 100 year war in Iraq. Vote for McCain/Palin, so that your children will grow up in a world without universal health care. (They may be sick, but god damn it, they’re alive. Unless, of course, they die because they got sick.) Vote for McCain/Palin, so that you can’t afford to buy food for your kids because the wealth should stay with the wealthy and not be spread around. (Your kids can choose life without any food.)

No, this election is not about race. It's not about the economy. It's about obeying God.

Then obey Him in the voting booth and out of it. If not, do us all a favor and quit calling yourself a Christian.

I don’t call myself a Christian. I haven’t for years. I’m voting for Obama.

Did I just hear thunder?
