This Is The US For God’s Sake!!!!

I just got an email from my mother that ended with this line; my cousin– her niece– is down in Texas on a fire.

Their camp is quarantined, none of the fire-fighter men are allowed to go anywhere in less than pairs, and the fire-fighter women must have at least two guys with them if they go anywhere. There are way more people in camp than usual, because they have a bunch of security guards.

Why?

Because they are in an area often used for illegals entering the US– and they have been shot at, since my cousin got there. We can’t even know exactly where they are– not explained why, maybe the fire fighting equipment is just too good of a target?

I can’t find a single story on this, no matter how I phrase it in google news search. A few mentions of fires in west Texas, but not much even there.

They’re fairly close to the Mexican border, risking their lives to fight fire…and on top of it all, they’re being shot at by people breaking into the country.

If anyone can find a story where the MSN caught wind of this, please, pass it on– you can be sure that when or if the out-of-state fire fighters end up having to kill some SOB that’s trying to murder them while they fight fire, it will get all over the news.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

I’m on the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) mailing list and I got a troubling letter. Somebody is trying to ban prayer in Jesus’ name in the military.

Dear John,

It’s utterly unconstitutional – the chaplains serving the men and women in our U.S. Armed Forces are being told they cannot pray ”in Jesus’ name.”

Give now to help the ACLJ oppose efforts by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and others to silence prayer!

At least three major groups – the ACLU, Americans United (AU), and the ”Military Religious Freedom Foundation” – are pushing to ban prayers in Jesus’ name by our military chaplains.

The ACLU has actually threatened a federal lawsuit against the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis – they’re insisting that the Naval Academy cut off prayer.

We need your immediate help. Your generous gift will help us fight this now. We’re dealing with military institutions, the U.S. Department of Defense, and Members of Congress.

We can’t sit silent – for if we do, the Washington decision-makers are only going to hear from the ACLU, Americans United, and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation …

… and our military chaplains could eventually be banned from speaking the name of Jesus in their ministry to our servicemen and women! We cannot let this happen.

Please give generously today – we must preserve the right to pray in the military. Our own future freedom may depend on it. Thank you in advance.

I see this as a continuation of efforts to remove Christian worship from all aspects of American society, a continuation of efforts to marginalize Christians, make Christians second-class citizens and erode our Constitutional protections. As far as I’m concerned, the ACLU is the Anti-Christian Licentious Union and needs to be actively fought.

John Hichcock Has Taken Leave Of His Senses-

and invited me to guest-blog.

I’ll try to keep my posts to the ones that are a bit more informative than say, the kitten-introduction post, fan-girling on various fandoms or my cheater “here’s a link and two lines!” posts.

So there probably won’t be a whole lot of posts from me, but I hope the at least hit the mean average of Truth before Dishonor!

Thank you, John, for the invite!

Feminist Protects Rape Cover-Up

A massive government-funded organization is caught on video, at multiple locations, aiding in covering up rape and a feminist staffer for a mainstream periodical wants the person who exposed the organization to be criminally charged. She doesn’t want the organization criminally charged, she wants the organization protected from any who would dare bring this information to the public.

Newsbusters has the story.

US News’s on-staff radical feminist Bonnie Erbe returned to attacking pro-lifers, her favorite subject of ire, in a blog entry on Monday. This time, she singled out “20-something abortion foe” Lila Rose, a junior at UCLA, for her “dishonest” and “pointless” undercover videos which she has taped at several Planned Parenthood locations. She seems to be most upset by how Rose has “created a public relations nightmare” for the abortion-mongering group, and called for the young woman’s prosecution for “trespassing, fraud, and whatever other law she violated” for impersonating a 13-year-old statutory rape victim. The blogger later told pro-lifers to just “go away,” since they will “will never succeed in banning abortion.”

Be Nice And They’ll Be Nice Back

I hear and see that line being repeated ad nauseum by the out of touch left and mainstream media (but they’re one and the same). The left would have you believe all it takes is to be nice to everyone and everyone will be nice right back. Truth is, there really is evil in this world and there really are evil people who want to do evil. And these evil people have no problem dying so long as they kill, maim, terrorize others.

These evil people want world dominion, the elimination of all Jews and Jew sympathizers and the elimination of all democratic implements. And they want everyone to play nice with them so they can achieve their goals more easily. No, they do not want to play nice. No, they do not want to share. But they are all too willing to accept the help of foolish liberals in getting rid of the people who are dangerous to the cause of world dominion.

A brief snippet from our recent past:

“Do you believe in God?” they asked Cassie Bernall. They knew full well she did. The girl who had once indulged in the occult (as the killers now did) had moved into a realm of peace when she learned to center her heart on Christ. She became a church-goer and a worker among those who needed Christ. Often she brought her Bible to school.

She was reading it in the library when the killer pointed his gun at her. Did she believe in God? “Yes, I believe in God,” she replied.

“Why?” asked the boy in the dark trench coat. Without waiting for an answer, he pulled the trigger.

You cannot make nice with some people, like terrorists. And if you have a terrorist who knows about plans to kill, maim, terrorize others but you do nothing to get the information, you are complicit in the carnage that will ensue which you could’ve prevented.

You Know It

According to reports, LeBron James came up with this spoof. And it gets air time in the Q.

Integrity Challenged Challenges Integrity

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is up to her old tricks. In a congressional hearing, Clinton returned to her defensive boxing skills, shucking and jiving in an effort to avoid the body-blows. When reminded that former Vice President Cheney has requested the rest of the memos released and asked if they would be released, Hillary questioned Cheney’s integrity. Obviously, that was not the question and the congressman did not give her a pass.

He said he was not concerned whether she trusted Cheney’s honesty but whether she would answer the congressman’s question. Would the memos be released? Her response? She would support the President’s decision. Would she advise the President to release them? She said she wasn’t going to tell the hearing what she would advise the President and she didn’t know enough.

I find it quite rich that Hillary Clinton, of all people, would have the audacity to question anyone’s integrity, considering her history.

According to the Progressive Review:

The documents, reviewed by The Washington Times, identify numerous instances in which prosecutors questioned Mrs. Clinton’s honesty. . .

For instance, the papers say prosecutors thought Mrs. Clinton first concealed her legal representation of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan Association – and the money she made doing it – during the 1992 presidential campaign when she and her husband, then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, came under fire in a questionable Arkansas real estate project known as Whitewater.

Beginning in March 1992 and continuing over the next several years, Mrs. Clinton steadfastly denied that she ever “earned a penny” in representing her Rose Law Firm clients, including the failing thrift’s owners, James and Susan McDougal – the Clintons’ partners in the Whitewater Development Corp. project.

But the newly discovered records, more than 1,100 pages in 30 separate documents, tell a different story.

A June 1998 draft indictment of Mrs. Clinton’s Rose firm partner Webster L. Hubbell, who followed the Clintons to Washington in 1993 as associate attorney general, said Mrs. Clinton did legal work for Madison “continuously” from April 1985 to July 1986. It also said she represented the thrift before the Arkansas Securities Department for approval to issue preferred stock, helped Madison obtain a questionable broker-dealer license to sell the stock and was actively involved in a failed Madison project known as Castle Grande.

I suggest reading the entire article. I also suggest reading another article from The Progressive Review in it’s entirety.

ARKANSAS ALTZHEIMER’S

Number of times that Clinton figures who testified in court or before Congress said that they didn’t remember, didn’t know, or something similar.

Bill Kennedy 116

There is an obvious difficulty with integrity where Hillary Clinton is involved.

Democrat Civil Rights History

Democrats and liberals constantly harp on how they are highly tolerant of everyone while Republicans and conservatives are intolerant of everyone. Democrats and liberals say “this is the way it is and this is the way it always has been and this is the way it always will be.” And the ever-helpful media uncritically parrot this falsehood.

Bob at Black & Right traced back through the history of the US to debunk the lies. He has given me permission to reprint his entire article on Truth Before Dishonor and Common Sense Political thought.

Nothing To See Here

An Arab man is on trial for selling land to Jews. The Palestinian Authority put an Arab man on trial for selling land to Jews. The Palestinian Authority put an Arab man on trial for selling land in Israel to Jews.

Arutz Sheva reports:

The letter, addressed to Netanyahu and the Ministers of Justice, Defense, and Public Security, states, “The Land of Israel is now the only place in the world where the law officially bans the sale of land to Jews because they are Jews. Even worse, the punishment for violators is actually death.”

The organization says that Netanyahu’s government must set an ultimatum: “No negotiations with the Palestinian Authority until this anti-Semitic law is rescinded. This demand takes precedence even over the insistence that the PA recognize Israel as a Jewish state.”

The trial of the Hevron resident in a special PA court began on Tuesday, with the defendant accused of having sold land in the Hevron area to Jews. The Yesha group asks Netanyahu and the ministers to step in to save the man, who is being charged with treason.

That’s right, folks, selling land in Israel to Jews is a treasonous act, obviously punishable by death. Tell me again, who is the troublemaker in the Middle East? And why is this news not causing a world-wide outcry?

GIVE Act Signed Into Law

On 21 APR 2009, President Barack Hussein Obama signed HR 1388, the GIVE Act, aka the mandatory volunteer act, into law. There are a lot of delicious items in the new law. Six billion dollars are allocated to build this monstrosity, with paid positions to shepherd even larger numbers of “volunteers.”

“Race Traitor” Hits Dems With Truthbat

H/T Cassandra

Many Democrats in Congress along with the openly Socialist Senator Sanders have repeated the line that Bush lied to everyone about Iraq’s WMDs in order to get involved in an illegal, unjustified war. Mainstream media piled on, uncritically advancing the story. All over the leftosphere, the same line is spread by big and small alike. This BDS nonsense continues even today, as the left has control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency.

But the facts of history still remain. And a very intelligent person has laid out much of these facts.

The Good Ol’ Days

I used to play a text-based internet roleplay game. I had a blast playing a certain hard to get along with character that was pretty much type-cast in attitude. Once I got rid of the character, I put it up in the afterlife thread so people would know it was gone and comment on it. I decided to pull that afterlife thread out and put it here so I can occasionally take a trip down memory lane as the afterlife forum cleans out old threads from time to time.

If you’re interested in that sort of thing, you can read below the fold. If not, consider yourself spared of a large piece of spamminess.

No, really. He does.

Media Attack Dog Gets Smacked Down

I agree with Patterico. Everyone needs to upload this video to YouTube and everyone needs to embed it in their blogs. Don’t let CNN’s thuggery violate “fair use” laws without a fight.

From Ben Sheffner of Copyrights and Campaigns:

CNN does own copyright in its own news footage and, as a general matter, has the right to demand its removal from YouTube. However, as to this particular video, I think Founding Bloggers has a very strong fair use defense. The purpose for Founding Bloggers’ posting of the CNN footage is crystal clear: to comment on and criticize CNN’s reporting on the “Tea Party.” Such a use is right in the heartland of the fair use doctrine; the statute specifically mentions “criticism, comment, [and] news reporting” as protected uses that are “not an infringement of copyright.” 17 U.S.C. § 107. To quickly run through the four fair use factors as they apply here: 1) the use is transformative (for critical comment); 2) the CNN footage is factual, not fictional, and was previously broadcast; 3) the amount used is small in relation to the whole CNN broadcast; and 4) any effect on the market is minuscule (and if fewer people watch CNN because this video causes them to think less of its coverage, that’s simply not cognizable harm). Many fair use cases are difficult, close calls–but, given the facts as I know them, this is an easy one.

Visit Patterico’s and Ben Sheffner’s sites and read what they have to say, then upload the video onto YouTube and embed the video into your own blogsite.
