Another Double Standard

In Dearborn this past summer, a Catholic priest was arrested driving drunk and naked in the city.  His defense was he claimed he was "too hot".  And the judge keeps postponing the priests hearing.  See article--

http://www.thenewsherald.com/articles/2012/10/26/news/doc508a73e82d231302103096.txt

Now, this just makes me think.  If it was a Muslim Imam who was driving around drunk and naked we would have had cult leader Terry Jones & his band of toadies here at the hearing for a media circus, Fox News would be here along with other rightwing media blasting the Imam and Islam about their immorality and "what are they trying to do to my children" blather.  It would be non-stop on the right about the horrors of the Imam and Islam.

But it is a white Catholic priest that basically has "vote for Romney/Ryan" signs in front of the church (you know the "Protect Religious Freedom" signs which really mean let us discriminate against women).  So, the only media coverage is the local newspaper.

I would suspect with all the coverage of Catholic priest pedophiles this would be another story to add onto that list.  But, it is election season and the rightwing is trying to court the Catholic vote, so it is a "non-story".

Yet, if it was an Imam, it would be on 24/7 on rightwing media because we all know how President Obama is a secret Kenyan Socialist Communist Muslim and he probably personally got the Imam into the country and bought him the alcohol while telling him in America, it is OK to drive around naked--we love it!  (at least that is how it would be presented in rightwing world).

So, anyone who tunes into rightwing media and believes it is just willingly believing a lie.  Here are some great Scripture verses on lies and liars--

Proverbs 19:9 -- A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.
Revelation 21:8-- But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
John 8:44 -- You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 
Proverbs 14:5 -- A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. 
Proverbs 26:23-28 -- Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. ...
Proverbs 13:5 -- The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace. 
Exodus 23:1 --  “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.

So, any rightwinger who claims they are a Christian may want to turn off their TV and radio and start repenting in the name of the Lord.  Better do it while you still can.

Racist Republicans

Colin Powell endorsed President Obama for a second term this week on CBS.  It is a very eloquent and intelligent endorsement for a second term.  You should be impressed that Powell looks at the issues and makes a decision instead of blindly following "the party".  It is that mentality of blindly following the party or leader that eventually turns countries into authoritarian dictatorships.  With the current Republican and Tea Party they are well on their way to create another Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/25/colin-powell-endorses-obama_n_2011162.html

For some reason when Colin Powell, who is African American, was working for the Bush White Houses--it was great to have a Black Man around.  Now, that Colin Powell endorsed Obama, well it's just because Powell is racist against white people.  Just take Mitt Romney's Campaign Chair, John Sununu's word for it--

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/10/25/1094211/romney-campaign-chair-colin-powell-endorsed-obama-because-he-is-black/?mobile=nc

From the transcript:


"SUNUNU: You have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or that he’s got a slightly different reason for President Obama.
MORGAN: What reason would that be?
SUNUNU:"Well, I think that when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being President of the United States — I applaud Colin for standing with him."

So, because Powell is black he obviously voted for Obama.  Conversely every white person voting for Romney is also racist?  No, but many are as Lawrence Wilkerson, former aide to Colin Powell points out here--

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/26/lawrence-wilkerson-colin-powell-sununu_n_2027721.html

From the transcript:

"My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable."

Finally, an honest Republican.  Maybe others will look in the mirror and realize they are racists and ask God for forgiveness and begin repenting for their ungodlike behavior.

Tea Party Lunacy

Tea Party and Republican Senatorial Candidate, Richard Mourdock, from Indiana, claimed that God wants rape pregnancies to happen.  Link here--

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/mourdock-pregnancies-from-rape-something-that-god-intended

I think God would be surprised since God gave us free will to make decisions while we are here on earth.  Mourdock obviously believes we are pre-programmed god-bots who are doing exactly everything God has programmed us to do.  Kind of strange since God has warned us since the beginning not to sin starting with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  God provided them and us with free will.  Adam and Eve made the decision to disobey God.  Cain made the decision to disobey God when God told him that "sin was crouching at your door" and "will devour you". 

If you read Scripture, you will notice and understand that God provides us with a brain to make decisions on our own.  We can go alone or we can include God.  I would like Mourdock to point to Biblical Scripture that says that God wants rape pregnancies.  Unbelievable, but that is Tea Party America for you--insane and well on its way to a new Nazi regime.

Hateful Conservatives

Paul Ryan, the Rightwing love flame of conservatives in the USA forced his way into a soup kitchen for a photo-op after the kitchen was already closed.  Ryan did it for political points.  As pointed out here--

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/10/15/charity-president-unhappy-about-paul-ryan-soup-kitchen-photo-op/

Yet, Republicans and Conservatives, I am sure many (if not all) claiming they are Christian have been lambasting Brian Antal for pointing out that what Ryan did was unacceptable and just a photo-op.  Yes, they attack the messenger and not the VP candidate who wanted a photo-op.  Maybe Ryan should have shown up to a soup kitchen to actually help, not after everyone left for a photo-op.  But, that's OK in rightwing world.  The problem is someone pointed out Ryan's hypocrisy.

Anyway, these hateful conservatives are bullying soup kitchen workers and some have stopped donating to the soup kitchen.  I am sure they are doing it all in the name of "Christian love".  Article here--

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/18/soup-kitchen-paul-ryan-photo-donor_n_1980541.html

These conservatives aren't Christian or loving, they are part of the American Taliban who rule by hatred and fear. 

Dinesh D'Souza another Rightwing "Christian" hypocrite

So, Dinesh D'Souza was having an affair while still married.  I guess I shouldn't find this surprising in rightwing world.  Whatever they do, is OK because they are "fighting the good fight"--(not really, they are just a bunch of hypocrites).  Yet, since they are rightwing and especially since they are against the Black Christian in the WHITE HOUSE, it doesn't matter how hypocritical or sinful they are.  Because IOKIYAR!

The It's OK if You are Republican (IOKIYAR) is your get out of free jail card in every and all occasions--as long as you hate and put out lies about Obama, Democrats, Liberals, etc.  The current rightwingers are modern day Nazi's--everything is OK as long as you are against "the other".

Yet, King's College decided to part ways with D'Souza due to the affair and they particularly didn't like his skills as President of the school.  http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/18/dinesh-d-souza-resigns-presidency-of-the-king-s-college.html

King's College attempts to "shape young Christian leaders in all sectors of society."  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/16/dinesh-dsouza-adultery-_n_1972172.html

Well, they certainly are teaching men how to cheat on their spouses and go after a younger woman.  But, isn't that typical in rightwing world?  Oh, wait, they go after young men, too.  Remember, Ted Haggart?  Hey, but rightwingers and alleged Christians will continue to eat up D'Souza's bullshit because he feeds them what they want to believe and it has nothing to do with God or reality.

Con Artist Jones Follow-Up

The con artist, bully and grifter known as "Pastor Terry Jones" biannual hate fundraiser in Dearborn, Michigan has come and gone.  All Jones did was make an ass out of himself, but it will be reported by his toadies (Warren Sapp) about how "courageous" Jones was to stand up for "free speech" against "Muslims and Sharia Law".  All crap.

All Jones did was the following--

1)  Come to a highschool to try to cause a disruption for the media (the media bit, but the school did not--that's one of the many reasons our media sucks--it gives lunatics, con artist, liars, cheaters and grifters, to name a few a pedestal and camera)
2)  Then Jones wanted to meet with students boarding buses--which was denied (just think about the safety issues involved here).  Do you think you or I could host a media event using teenagers as props and the local school system would allow it?  No way!  Actually, if we did it on our own we would probably be arrested.
3)  And, of course, Jones is so "courageous" he wanted to carry a handgun--which was also denied.  Add this onto #2 and anyone else would have been arrested.

But, even though Jones and his imported crew of toadies received special treatment from Dearborn and the police they are crying "free speech" because they weren't allowed to do everything they wanted with their planned spectacle in Dearborn.  I am guessing there will have to be some very creative editing of this video for Jones to fleece the idiots that keep giving him money.  Link here--

http://www.pressandguide.com/articles/2012/10/10/news/doc5075dcb2e53c6428811743.txt?viewmode=fullstory

Oh, and btw, another reason the media sucks, is they have to provide us with the false equivalency that Muslims are bullying other kids in school and it is so terrible.  Yet, kids bully kids in every school.  So, it is terrible in every school. Maybe Jones should go to mostly White West Branch, Michigan where this white girl was bullied by white students--

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120924/METRO/209240341

But, hey Jones white donors wouldn't appreciate that and it wouldn't work for Jones ripping them off.  They hate and fear Muslims, so Jones is trying to give them what the want.

Even though events in Dearborn went well, they went a lot better in Canada, where Jones was denied entry into the country.  Of course, Jones cried "free speech".  But, you know this is another thing wrong with Jones and the lunatics that support him, you are an American, that doesn't mean you can go to any country you want and spew your hatred.  Some countries, such as Canada, don't allow hate speech.  This could potentially create problems within the country.  Canada was correct in their action.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/story/2012/10/11/wdr-pastor-terry-jones-border-services.html?cmp=rss

Whatever happened to "speaking the truth in love?" or "loving your enemies?" Both Biblical principles, yet an alleged "pastor" can only be hateful with a group he disagrees with?  You know my thoughts, Terry Jones is no Christian, he is in league with Satan.  Too bad our media plays along in this game, propping up this charlatan con artist.

Focus on the Family--a bunch of grifters

I wrote earlier in the year about Focus on the Family's lies in 2008 about how Obama would destroy America.  Focus on the Family was wrong on all 34 predictions and yet will not apologize for their outright campaign of lies and fear.  Bill Maher called them grifters--which I believe to be true of Focus on the Family and many, many rightwing alleged Christian organizations.

The definition of a grifter is someone who makes money dishonestly, such as a swindler or in a confidence game.  http://www.thefreedictionary.com/grifter

Isn't that exactly what Focus on the Family is doing?  They are playing with people's hopes, but especially fears and show nothing for it but keep coming back for more cash.  They will burn in hell for their crimes.

Anyway, here is a link to Bill Maher taking Focus on the Family to task for their lies and not apologizing.  Beware there is some vulgar language in this piece.

Willfully Blind Republicans

Not only are Republicans willfully blind to all the lies their candidate, Mitt Romney and his VP candidate, Paul Ryan say--they don't care.  What makes matters even worse, when Romney set a record pace of lies during the first presidential debate--he got more support amongst the Republican Party and uncommitted voters.

As this link shows, Romney lied 27 times in 38 minutes.  http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/04/958801/at-last-nights-debate-romney-told-27-myths-in-38-minutes/?mobile=nc

More on Romney lies.  http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/10-most-shameless-romney-debate-lies-debunked

Yet, lying is a sin in the Bible, it is BAD, not good and Christians shouldn't support those who willingly lie and deceive.  Yet, most Republicans claim they are Christian and support Romney and Ryan, both who lie a lot--it is almost pathological.  This is a great link to how Christians should respond to lies--

http://www.gospelway.com/morality/lying.php

From the site--

"These are "bold-faced lies" - the one who tells them is well aware that he has told an outright falsehood. He may consider it a "big black lie" (one with serious consequences) or a "little white lie" (one he thinks will not have serious consequences), but he knows it he has told a lie. Many passages rebuke the general concept of lying. Proverbs 6:16-19 - God hates a lying tongue and a false witness who speaks lies. Exodus 20:16 - You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Ephesians 4:25 - Putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor. 1 Timothy 1:10 - Liars are listed among other sins that are contrary to sound doctrine. These are direct prohibitions against lying. Most people know that lying is morally wrong. Interestingly, people who often tell lies to others (like politicians) will often become very upset when other people lie to them and are often the quickest to accuse others of lying! Other kinds of lies and deceit may be less obvious: people may not consider these acts to be lies or deceptions when they do it. Yet they often recognize such acts to be lying when other people do it to them! [Other verses note especially Matthew 15:19; Leviticus 19:11,12; Colossians 3:9; see also Psalms 7:14; 32:2; 58:3; 59:12; Proverbs 4:24; 24:28; Isaiah 59:3,13; Hosea 4:2; Micah 6:12; Nahum 3:1; Romans 13:9; 1 Peter 2:1; 3:10; John 1:47]"

What causes lying?  Also from the site--

"In order to avoid lying and deceit, we need to know what causes people to be guilty. Ultimately all lies are conceived in the heart under the influence of Satan. John 8:44 - Jesus said regarding Satan: "there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it." Satan influences men to lie. Acts 5:1-9 - Ananias and Sapphira lied about their gift to the church. Peter asked, "Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit...?" Matthew 15:18-20 - Jesus names things that come from the heart and defile a man, including false witness. When we tell lies then we have followed the influence of Satan, but the ultimate problem is in our hearts. If we are going to change, we have to start by changing our attitudes. What specific problems lead us to tell lies? [Isaiah 59:13; Jeremiah 17:9]"

So, Satan is the father of lies and those who lie continuously are in league with Satan.  Sounds like Romney and Ryan, but these "Republican Christians" would rather vote in the liar instead of the Black Christian Man who tells the truth.  So, are they willfully blind, willfully ignorant or both?

Satan Spawn Jones protests at Dearborn High School

Demon spawn Terry Jones, alleged pastor of an alleged Christian Church (really a cult leader and media whore) held a pitiful "protest" at Edsel Ford High School in Dearborn today.  He was scheduled to promote his hatred for a full 3 hours, but left after an hour and a half in which God actually told Jones "goodbye" with a good 10 minute downpour.

He brought his toady, Warren Sapp (not the NFL player) along in his demonic endeavors.  Jones was allegedly protesting bullying at the school of Muslim students vs. non-Muslim students in which both the school and students say is a bunch of BS.  Yet, that doesn't fit well with Jones intent to fleece ignorant backers of money.

It is great that more counter protesters (20) showed up to Jones demonic toadies (12).  That is a good sign.  What isn't is the media's unbending attention to lunatics like Jones.  If there wasn't a media presence, Jones would just wither away.  Details of Satan spawn Jones debacle here--

Terry Jones "hateraiser" this week

Cult leader Terry Jones is coming to Dearborn, MI for his bi-annual "hateraiser".  Jones comes to Dearborn to get media attention and video in which he can splice and misinform donors about how Jones is "fighting Sharia Law" and "Islamic extremists" in America.  The irony, is Jones is a hatemonger towards Muslims and is the extremist.  I would think the FBI would have ferretted out most "Islamic extremists" in the Dearborn area by now.

Anyway, Dearborn is getting prepared as you can see here--

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121005/METRO01/210050428/1409/metro/Dearborn-police-We-re-ready-Jones-protest-high-school

And here--

http://dearborn.patch.com/articles/dearborn-police-we-re-prepared-for-terry-jones

To come to Dearborn and talk about Muslim "bullying" in schools is almost retarded.  There is bullying occurring in every school, even in his neighborhood in Florida.  Hey, if you want to make a point about bullying, go to your own school system or better yet, come clean on how you bullied and intimidated and fleeced your flock in Germany!  From Matthew 7:15 ""Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."  Jones is a ferocious wolf.  Maybe you should repent! 

But, hey, your false attacks on Islam is what keeps you in the media and in the money, so if this one-trick pony works, why stop doing it?
