God Given Right to Own Guns Part 2

So, when Americans travel to other countries, they would like to still carry weapons--even concealed weapons.  This incident in which an American couple from Kalamazoo, Michigan were asked if they went to the "Stampede" was met with paranoia from Walt Wawra (who happens to be a Police Officer) because he "felt threatened" and wished he had a gun to protect himself from two people asking the couple if they had been to the Stampede.

The Stampede is an annual event in Calgary, a huge event.  What bothered Wawra was that the two people didn't get Wawra's "permission" to talk.  Talk about someone with a problem--it isn't the Canadiens, but it is Police Officer Wawra of Kalamazoo.  Article here--

But, it gets worse, Wawra thanks the "Lord Jesus Christ" that nothing happened.  Yes, nothing happened because you weren't armed, Wawra.  If you notice, nothing happened!!!  Jeez, what a paranoid lunatic!  And the guy is a police officer!  If  Wawra had a gun, something probably would have happened.  Please don't invoke the name of Christ in your paranoid insanity.

Great article here.

Wawra still thinks he was right and should have been armed.  But, like a typical Republican American, he can't admit he is wrong.  Wow, WWJD, pull out a Glock and start firing away?  What?  In the Bible, pride and arrogance are two huge sins (although Republicans always want to point out sexual sins--which many of them are involved in--but don't talk about greed, pride and arrogance).

From Proverbs 16:18--

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

I would hope Wawra would find humility and repent, but I am not holding my breath because people like Wawra believe they are never wrong, they just double down on their crazy.

The Callous Ticket

Serial pathological liar and Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has decided a person who may be even more callous will be his Vice Presidential candidate.  Ryan wants to take away medical coverage from the elderly and cut funding for students and the poor.

Link to Ryan Plan of cutting Food Stamps to the poor--

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/222003-catholic-bishops-criticize-ryan-budget-cuts-to-food-stamps

And Ryan's own church, the Catholic Church, has condemned his plan because it attacks the poor, the weakest members of society.

They really should just call themselves the Judas/Baal ticket.  Man, are these people some of the worst candidates the Republicans could find?  I guess not when I remember who else was running.  The Republican Party is the most anti-Christian, anti-human, pro-greed and destruction party I have ever seen.  Wow, I wonder what all there alleged followers are going to think when they meet Jesus?

It will be something like the end of these Matthew verses.  From Matthew 25:31-46--

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Here is where we get to Romney/Ryan because they want to take from those in need and have no compassion unless you are rich and white--Matthew 25: 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. ”

All those who think they are doing right by hurting and hating their neighbors and those in need, that is today's Republican Party.  So, what will happen to these minions who sow evil and destruction and try to tell us that it is good?  From Jesus in Matthew 13:36-43--

36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Yes, for all the sins they have committed against God's people here on earth, they will be cast away into hell and they will be weeping and gnashing of teeth because today, they blindly believe they are doing God's will when it is obvious they don't have a clue as to what it is.

The Callousness of Mitt Romney

Serial pathological liar and Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has another new commercial out claiming that President Obama and his surrogates are accusing Romney of murder!  Murder, I say!  In the cancer death of  Joe Soptic's wife.  Lying attack ad by Romney campaign here--

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-EEETo3Sqo&feature=player_embedded

The powerful ad about Joe Soptic, by Priorities USA is actually a really good one that shows Mitt Romney's callousness towards others and this is the fifth (I believe) in a series that has a main point about Romney--he doesn't care about you or your spouse or family, he just cares about himself and money.  Ad can be seen here--

http://www.prioritiesusaaction.org/

The Romney camps response is to attack President Obama, Priorities USA and the Soptic's by claiming that his wife had insurance (for a short time until she was laid off) and hey, she didn't die until 2006 when Romney wasn't around.  But, to actually promote these items shows what kind of uncompassionate, uncaring and callous people not only people like Romney are but the conservative "Christian" Republicans agreeing with this nonsense (and they will look you straight in the eye and tell you they are "compassionate conservatives"--tell that to Jesus when you are burning in hell).

Joe Soptic made $46,000 a year and had benefits, including health care.  When Bain, under Romney, closed the plant that was making money just to make more money for already rich people like Romney--he has to take some of the responsibility of what happens.  Also, when plants are shut down in communities, there is a trickle down effect.  So, Romney and Bain may have even been responsible for Soptic's wife for her losing her job and thus, her health insurance.

The question for Romney and all his alleged Christian (really anti-Christian supporters) is "How much is enough?"  If you are in the business of shutting down profitable businesses just to take in more cash for yourself, then I say you are responsible for what happens to people--especially in regards to their health.  What ever happened to the Christian saying "I am my brother's keeper"?


I guess that is only in regards to rich white Republican men.  Even the white alleged Christian working class that supports these leeches on society have been getting exploited and mistreated by their Republican masters--and they love it!  I am starting to believe there are two kinds of hell, the first is the one the Republicans are making here on earth and the second is the eternal hell that will be filled with mostly Republicans after death.

David Barton, "Christian" Liar

I wrote awhile ago about "Taking Christians to the Bank" and it included David Barton, who is just a liar for "Christ".  But, finally, the mainstream media--NPR--has finally outed Barton as he is--a con man and charlatan.  You can listen here--

http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=157754542&m=158448820

But,  Conservative "Christians" and the Republicans love Barton.  Why?  Because Barton's lies fill their worldviews and Barton gets rich off of it.  It is amazing the contortions Barton goes through to make his claims.  Yet, those who claim they are Conservative "Christians" and Republicans love the lies.  How are you  Christian again?  Completely believing in lies to fit your worldview?  Wow, God would not approve.

This is such a good NPR interview, I won't add too much more, but Barton does say early in the program that we won't "allow voluntary prayer in schools".  Not true, we do allow voluntary prayers in schools.  But, the catch is any religion can have them and it won't be broadcast over the intercom.  Which, if you read the Bible, Jesus wouldn't want.  From Jesus in Matthew 6:5--

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full."

Either Barton is a follower of Christ or a hypocrite.  By his words and actions he is the latter.

The Right's fake "War on Religion"

Serial pathological liar and Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has a new commercial out claiming that President Obama has a new war on religion because of the Affordable Care Act.  Romney claims a few things--one is it is an attack on religious organizations (in this case Catholicism) and that it was Pope John Paul II that should get credit for the fall of communism.

First, the United States and Western Europe spent billions if not trillions on an economic war of destruction against the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc communist countries.  So, I think all the veterans who served and died in Korea and Vietnam have been disrespected.  And all those Vets who survived are also disrespected.  But, also, Romney cuts the conservative narrative that Saint Ronald Reagan single handedly defeated the evil Russians.  Boy, Romney takes pandering to a new low.

The second and bigger lie is Romney's war on religion shtick.  Which rightwing alleged "Christian" nuts seem to flock to this term like moths to lights.  The ACA ensures that if a religious institution owns and runs a secular business, they cannot discriminate against you because of your religion or lack thereof.  So, basically Romney and his nutter base want to legalize discrimination (that is true) and use the "War on Religion" canard as a distraction.

You would think Romney's alleged "Christian base" would automatically not vote for him because he is a Mormon and already in the league with the devil.  Yet, it shows you his supporters mentality.  One, either they really are hateful racists and/or stupid (I think both myself) and two they are not Christians at all, but supporters of Lucifer--but they will shout at the top of their lungs how "THEY ARE SAVED" and "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL!"  And, to me, we are already in a hell which these rightwing nutters created.  I think about how much better the planet would be if they disappeared overnight.  But, I digress.  When I hear these same rightwing nutcases screaming this crap, it makes me think--if by "YOU" they mean themselves, they are probably correct, there is a good possibility they will go to hell.

Fatalism is not Faith

I have been told recently by some people claiming they are Christians that whatever the issue, it "is in God's hands".  Ultimately, that is true.  However, God wants us to work on the issues He gives us.  Abraham, Noah, Joseph, the Old Testament Prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus, the Apostles, Paul and people throughout the ages up to Martin Luther King, Jr. and those of today didn't just throw up their hands and claim "it is in God's hands".

When people who claim they are Christian and then respond as fatalists, not only are they lying to me, they are lying to themselves.  What they are really saying is "I don't want to do anything about the issue".  At least come clean and don't blame your inactivity or fatalism on God.

I am pretty sure God doesn't like it when you lie about Him.  You won't get a free pass on that.

Conservative Republican Men hate Women

Yesterday on August 1, 2012 a number of new regulations from the Affordable Care Act went into effect.  I believe all of them were for women's health and are as follows:

1) Annual well-woman visit: preventative care visit for women to receive necessary preventative services.
2) Gestational diabetes screening: for women 24-28 weeks pregnant or who are at high-risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Creates healthier mothers and babies.
3) HPV DNA testing: Women over 30 will have access to HPV DNA testing every three years.
4) STI counseling: reduces risky behavior in women 18-44 when conducted with a doctor or nurse.
5) HIV screening and counseling: Combating a 15% rise in contraction of the disease by women.
6) Breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling: Encourages healthier mothers and children while providing resources.
7) Contraceptive and contraception counseling: Access to FDA approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education. Does not include abortifacient drugs.
8) Interpersonal/domestic violence screening and counseling: Addressing the 25% of women who will be subjected to violence from an intimate partner.

Even with these great health care coverages for women, the Republicans in Congress not only want to repeal them, they want to go even further by defunding Planned Parenthood (in which the overwhelming majority of work this organization does is for women's health--not birth control) and also want to ensure that poorer women don't get access to family planning.  This attempted denial is from the political party that claims it is "pro-family".  I don't know how any Conservative Republican Man who supports this can claim they love and care for women--even their wives, daughters and mothers.

Their real hatred from the ACA law is free contraception and contraception counseling (heaven forbid that we get birth control and we get educated about it--much better to stay dumb and ignornant).  There is nothing Biblical about birth control.  Yet, it is alleged rightwing Christian "leaders" who happen to be men outraged about this. 

That's why Conservative Republicans are so screwed up, they have "morals" when it comes to others, but never themselves.  And even though there lack of logic is an incredible problem, most of the time these rightwing nutcases are morally outraged at others--the "others" aren't doing anything wrong or immoral--it is all fake outrage.
 
I'll make a deal with you rightwing nutters.  Once you stop beating off to all the pornography you have and start treating women in your life in a loving manner, I will work with you to get rid of birth control while you will work with me to get rid of pornography.  You know what--you'll never get rid of your porno and you'll never stop being outraged about birth control.  But you know who the sinner is in this scenario?  It's not the woman getting free birth control, but is the rightwing conservative "Christian" Red Stater watching porno.
