David Letterman: hypocrite, sexist, mysogynist and pervert.

I won't go into detail. Many other people have provided plenty of coverage about the twisted, vicious "humor" of this despicable cretin.

I think that Gov. Sarah Palin says it best:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took a second swipe at David Letterman on Wednesday, calling the CBS “Late Show” host’s jokes about one of her daughters “disgusting” and “sexually perverted.”

In an e-mailed statement, the Republican governor said: “Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is not only disgusting, but it reminds us some Hollywood/N.Y. entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands— that acceptance of inappropriate sexual comments about an underage girl, who could be anyone's daughter, contributes to the atrociously high rate of sexual exploitation of minors by older men who use and abuse others.”

Will Letterman be censured? Nope. Certainly not by the feel-good protest warriors of leftist "feminists" or "child advocates."

He'll get a pass because he's one of their own, and one day in the future if a conservative makes a mild crack about the teenage hijinx Obama's teenage daughters might have gotten into, the whole sanctimonious and hypocritical left will have a mass case of the vapors.

Dear LORD, sometimes I hate - completely despise - what occasionally passes for humor and political discourse in this country...

Why are you arresting a priest for protecting innocent life?!!!

May God have mercy...

Lord God Almighty, I pray Your protection on this priest and all the men and women in peaceful protest against the presence of pro-abortion - pro-infanticide! - President Obama. I pray that Your hand guides them and helps them act in accordance with Your will, and that their witness for Christ brings shame to Your enemies and the forces of death. Father, You brought this country into being and have blessed it beyond measure with protection, resources, strength, prosperity, and freedom - and we have thrown them all in Your face and made gods of ourselves.

Father, have mercy! Lay Your hand upon us, send Your Spirit to bring us life, bless us with a revival and turn our hearts toward You, lest we are brought to nothing for our grave sins and vanish from the earth. Renew this land, O Lord, give us all hearts of flesh and engrave Your commandments upon them. Convict us of our sin and bring us to our knees, so You may forgive our sin and so we may lift up Your name and be a holy nation to Your glory.

Lord... Have mercy!

The GIVE Act - opens door to slavery AND violates First Amendment! (UPDATED)

The other day, I posted about HR1388, also known as the GIVE Act, and pointed out that it opens the door to "voluntary" MANDATORY service - an oxymoron (emphasis on MORON) if I ever read one.  UPDATE: I've corrected that post; I got my links mixed up, and section 6104, while in the original referred to the House, does NOT appear in the final version sent to the Senate.

Well, now look at Section 125: {UPDATE: The link on http://thomas.loc.gov is not permanent, so you'll have to go here and then click into one of the text-of-bill links to find section 125}

(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the following activities:

     (1) Attempting to influence legislation.

     (2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes.

     (3) Assisting, promoting, or deterring union organizing.

     (4) Impairing existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements.

     (5) Engaging in partisan political activities, or other activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public office.

     (6) Participating in, or endorsing, events or activities that are likely to include advocacy for or against political parties, political platforms, political candidates, proposed legislation, or elected officials.

     (7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization.

For a refresher, here is the full text of the First Amendment (link has the full Bill of Rights):

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So, let's break it down a little, shall we:

• Prohibiting the free expression of religion? Check.
• Prohibiting the freedom of speech? Check.
• Prohibiting the right of peaceful assembly? Check and check (both for political AND religious reasons - nice double play there, you anti-constitutional buffoons!)
• Prohibiting the right to petition the government for redress of grievances? Check.

As you can see, the seventh point really burns my gut. And I know, I know, some of you anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Constitution liberal lunatics out there will say, "Oh, that's just for MANDATORY religious services!" Nope. Sorry. That word applies only to the phrase "providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship," not the rest of that paragraph.

So, programs run by Prison Fellowship and Alcoholics Anonymous, for instance, would be on the list of activities which are likely to be prohibited.

Congress is pushing this law through - not private citizens or private businesses or private organizations. CONGRESS.

So, where are the liberal moonbats and their screams of censorship and suppression?

[crickets chirping]

Yeah, I thought so.

Time to make sure we're stocked up, and to triple polish the guns, folks. We just might be getting into the Second Revolution any day now...

President Obama:

It's NOT above your pay grade...

It's not beyond anyone's pay grade!

CHOOSE LIFE!

(kittipurrs to Gribbit)

Choose ye this day: Life and blessings, or death and cursings

Gateway Pundit posts this damning video about Obama's position on abortion:

Christian, if you are faithful to your Bible, you cannot vote for Sen. Obama. If you do, you are spitting in the face of God Himself - and displaying serious evidence which would lead many to conclude that you are not truly His.

Look at the way Obama prevaricates with Pastor Warren. Listen to his strong statements in favor of abortion. Remember how he describes a baby as a punishment when referring to his daughters and a hypothetical unplanned pregnancy.

Do you know how GOD describes children? Like this:

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
        The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
        So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
        They shall not be ashamed,
        But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

The Lord has been abundantly kind to this nation, but we have fallen so terribly far from where we began! The fact that He has restrained His hand of judgment for so long both amazes and terrifies me, because America has earned His condemnation.

And if you think that I'm too single-issue about this, that's not my problem. But a true Christian recognizes and submits to God's absolute sovereignty over us all, even from before our birth - and He hates the murder of children. His holy hatred will exact a terrible retribution, and I fear for Sen. Obama's very soul when he espouses such evil while claiming the title of Christian.

At Sinai, God commanded the Israelites to choose, and to hold fast to that choice. He gives America the same choice today, with the same sober warning:

See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 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; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them. [emph. mine]

Choose wisely, America. Your fate, and the fate of your children, hangs in the balance.

"I fear for my country when I reflect that God is just."

Via NewsBusters, I see this heinous and disgusting article by Nicholas Provenzo in "The Rule of Reason" -

Like many, I am troubled by the implications of Alaska governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's decision to knowingly give birth to a child disabled with Down syndrome. Given that Palin's decision is being celebrated in some quarters, it is crucial to reaffirm the morality of aborting a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome (or by extension, any unborn fetus)—a freedom that anti-abortion advocates seek to deny. [emphasis mine]

"It is crucial to reaffirm the morality" of killing an innocent life?! I cannot believe that millions of people in this formerly godly country have been deluded by this lie, and that this person would be so obscenely brazen as to proclaim it. I am amazed that God in His forbearance has not yet judged us severely for allowing the daily murder of thousands of unborn children.

But make no mistake: God is allowing America to heap up the full measure of our sin, and He will pour out His wrath on us in due time.

And Mr. Provenzo, God has something to say to you:

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
         They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

I would suggest that this appears to be an accurate description of you and your opinion of the unborn children whose murder you endorse. It would actually be far more just and "moral" if you were to say that you should have been aborted!

God affirms that all children, born and unborn, are a blessing:

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
         The fruit of the womb is a reward.

The Psalmist rejoices that

... You formed my inward parts;
         You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
         Marvelous are Your works,
         And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
         When I was made in secret,
         And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written,
         The days fashioned for me,
         When as yet there were none of them.

God knows the end from the beginning, and He knows what is in the heart of every man.

Mr. Provenzo, though you may not believe in Him or His Word, God knows you inside and out. One day, you will stand before Him, and He will judge you. And woe unto you if He should say:

“‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels, for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Take careful heed, Mr. Provenzo, lest your pride, arrogance and callousness be your eternal downfall.

I pray that America will return to her senses and decide that the "freedom" of abortion is only another kind of slavery and will vehemently renounce it in sorrow and grief for all those already murdered.

Child rapists deserve to live... (UPDATED and BUMPED)

 ... or at least, that's what our Supreme Court decided today, in what must be one of the most disgusting rulings ever to come out of that chamber.

The nation's highest court ruled by a 5-4 vote that the death penalty for the crime of raping a child violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Writing for the court majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the Constitution barred a state from imposing the death penalty for the rape of a child when the crime did not result, and was not intended to result, in the victim's death.

Kennedy concluded that capital punishment, based on current evolving standards, should be reserved for crimes that take the life of the victim.

Now, I understand that not all cases of child abuse deserve the death penalty. It's hard to conceive, yes, but I do understand the concept. But for anyone to so use a child and exploit their innocence, their inability to fight back is beyond the pale.

Liberals are always going on about "but it's for the children!!!" Well, now you see their true colors: it's all for the children - except when a convicted child rapist's life is at stake. They would far rather pander to the poor feelings of the criminal, and ignore the cries for justice from the innocent victim.

< p>We kill them in the womb, and we deny them righteous justice.

"For the children," indeed.

God help us.

UPDATE: Leslie Carbone has further details about the rape:

An eight-year-old girl woke suddenly in the early hours of March 8, 1998. Five years later, a jury convicted her step-father, Patrick Kennedy, of her rape. According to state of Louisiana prosecutors, she awoke to the sensation of the 300-pound man atop her small body, one hand undressing her, the other covering her mouth. The bleeding and internal injuries the child sustained from the ensuing rape were so great that she required surgery. Afterwards, according to testimony, Mr. Kennedy called his workplace to say that he would not be in because the child had "become a lady"; he then ordered a cleaning service to remove blood from his carpets before calling 911 to report his step-daughter's attack and request an ambulance. [all emph. mine - but make sure you read her whole article]

This decision by the Supreme Court is a disgusting and obscene perversion of justice.

"Justice" Kennedy, when you say that, according to *spit*"evolving standards"*spit* when "the crime did not result, and was not intended to result, in the victim's death" the death penalty is un-Constitutional, you are a moron. Worse, you stab at the heart of the spirit of the Law, which is to protect and, if necessary, avenge the innocent. Sure, Patrick Kennedy may not have intended to kill his step-daughter, but his actions displayed a callousness, selfishness and depravity which truly springs from the most base elements of humanity.

He may not have intended to kill her, but any thinking person could have seen it was a definite possibility.

You, sir, and the other four "justices" who agreed with you disgust me so much for this decision, that in this case I will take a page from Misha's book and quote:

Rope. Tree. Justices.
Some assembly required.

UPDATE 2.0: Yes, I knew Misha would weigh in on this, although he doesn't use his classic phrase -

I’ve had it with those scum-cuddling, sub-retarded liberal activists.

and he links to Stop the ACLU's post, which quotes the press release from Louisiana's Governor, Bobby Jindal:

One thing is clear: the five members of the Court who issued the opinion do not share the same ‘standards of decency’ as the people of Louisiana. One Justice said that ‘the death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child.’ That is incredibly absurd. The most repugnant crimes deserve the harshest penalties, and nothing is more repugnant than the brutal rape of an eight-year-old child.

You tell 'em, Gov. Jindal!!

Offering our children to Molech

You know who Molech is? He's a demon, and back in ancient times, many deluded and twisted people would sacrifice their children to him.

Of course, these days, we're not so unsophisticated as to offer our children to a demon - oh, no! - instead we offer them up to our own selfish and sinful desires [link needs sign in ID - go to Bugmenot to get one]:

A federal appeals court panel in Richmond, Va., on Tuesday struck down a Virginia law that made it a crime for doctors to perform what the law called “partial birth infanticide.”

Both laws prohibited the procedure known medically as intact dilation and extraction. It involves removing an intact fetus and, typically, piercing or crushing its skull. The more common second-trimester abortion procedure, dilation and evacuation, involves dismembering the fetus in the uterus. [emph. mine]

The key difference between the two laws, Judge M. Blane Michael wrote for the majority, was that the federal law imposes criminal charges only when doctors intend at the outset to perform the procedure, while Virginia law also made it a crime for doctors to perform the prohibited procedure by mistake.

Seems to me that if the "procedure" is performed "by mistake," that would -at least!- be cause for a malpractice suit, yes?

, who reminded me of this story, has this .gif of what happens during a partial birth abortion:

How about a reminder of the human life involved in each abortion?

Here are two videos on YouTube which explain two common methods of abortion.

Not only have we become a lewd and depraved culture, we now actively seek ways to slaughter our babies in the womb... What's next, people? Are we going to start eating the poor, mangled bodies we abort?
