Making the news - literally.

Caught on camera - Media bias on display

The link above shows an employee of ABC News literally trying to MAKE news. I guess the line between reporting the news and manufacturing it out of whole cloth to fit your agenda has now been crossed to the point where it no longer exists.

This guy was apparently trying to gin up a fight between himself and Ground Zero victory mosque opponents so that a waiting camera man could get the action on tape and they could portray ALL Ground Zero mosque opponents as violent, hate-filled, evil people. His plan back fired and he and his employer came out looking bad.

So now it appears we have eyewitness testimony and proof of something I and many others who are paying attention have known for years, the media IS biased towards the far left. This episode has served to reveal to us the news philosophy at ABC (All Barack Channel) and I'm guessing at CNN (Communist News Network), NBC (National Barack Channel, or, Nothing But Communism), MSNBC (Mega-Socialist National Barack Channel), and CBS (Communist Broadcasting System). That philosophy being if there is no legitimate news to report or what news there is to report doesn't fit your agenda, then just go out and make up news that does.

All I can say to that is TGFFN! Thank God for Fox News!!

At least they're coming to church - sort of

Strippers protest church

Strippers wearing bikinis have been showing up outside of New Beginnings Church in Warsaw Ohio holding up signs that read "do unto others as you would have done to you". Not a verbatim quotation of scripture, but close enough and the concept is still the same.

And, the ladies do have a point. Apparently members of the church have been driving by the establishment where these ladies work and have been taking pictures of cars' license plates and asking the owners of the cars if their mothers and wives know where they are at. I guess these church members somehow overlooked the verse on the signs carried by the protesters and and also overlooked the passage that says "judge not....".

In this case, to a large extent, I actually support the protesters. Not for the lifestyles they have chosen for themselves, but in their protest against the misbehaving church members. As a Christian and a licensed minister I can tell you that if what they say these church members are doing is true, then they are doing wrong. The Bible calls us to witness, to share the gospel, and to be living examples of Christ's love and mercy, not judge and jury. When we start to act as judge and jury, then we are usurping God's authority and in effect telling Him that we know better than He does how these individuals should be dealt with. It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict of sin, not yours, not mine, and not the members of this church.

I would just like to say one thing to the ladies protesting the church. Find another church nearby, not to protest, but to attend. Find one that preaches and whose members live the TRUE gospel not the twisted version that these members appear to be living out. In God's eyes, the members of this church who are doing these things are just wrong as the strippers. Wake up people!

Ebonics translators - the regime wants you!!

So, yesterday Attorney Urinal Eric Holder announced that the Justice Department is seeking to hire ebonics translators to translate wiretapped phone calls related to narcotics investigations. Yet another example of our tax dollars at waste. This is just as ridiculous as having forms and voice mails, signs, and whatever else done in English and Spanish to cater to illegals.

In the same way that we should make those who come here from other countries learn our language, English, we should also make those ebonics speakers do the same rather than cater to their laziness and lack of education. And besides, there really is no need to hire anyone to make these translations. Why not Attorney Urinal Holder himself? After all he is black, or at least he once was. There is also the supreme leader of the regime Hussein Obama. I'm sure he could translate. What about Charlie Rangel? I am sure someone in DC has Al "not so sharp" Sharpton and/or Jesse Jackass on speed dial. I know either of them could do it. There are plenty of people either already in DC or with close ties to those who are who could handle the job without having to spend anymore taxpayer money.

Random thoughts.

Here's some tasty political irony for you. Nancy Pelosi wants those of us who oppose the building of the Mosque at ground zero investigated. Harry Reid has said he opposes putting the Mosque there. Perhaps Ms. Pelosi should begin her investigations with Sinister Reid. I wonder what that investigation would turn up.

##################################################################

They don't just want to build a Mosque at Ground Zero, but also a Muslim Super Center. What exactly in the name of Allah is a Muslim Super Center? Is it like a Wal-Mart only they sell burkas and prayer rugs? Hardback and paperback Korans? Travel packages to Mecca? Books on how to fly planes into buildings? A Muslim Super Center. Coming to a neighborhood near you.

A comment about a comment

I am not one to tolerate or put up with the use of vulgarity, especially the "f" word and the "gd" word. I usually just delete all comments that come through with one of those in it. However in the case of the comment below, I made the editorial decision to make an exception because I wanted to respond in a post, which I am doing now. Here is the quote:  "This is stupid. How the hell did I end up here? You don't like America the way it is? Then fucking leave."

Two things tell me right away that this person is Liberal and a supporter of Obama and his Socialist agenda. The first is his obvious lack of intelligence. Anyone with even a shred of intellectual acumen and minimal vocabulary could have gotten his or her point across without the use expletives. Smart people do not talk this way. Case in point, Joe Biden.

The second thing that tips me off is the assertion that if I don't like the fact that Hussein Obama's policies are destroying this country then I am the one who needs to leave. It is actually Obama and any and all of his supporters who want so badly to live in a big, lumbering, third world Socialist country who need to leave. They certainly will not turn my America into one as long as I am alive and breathing. So maybe if you want to live under tyranny, you should leave.

And, one last observation. The thing that solidly confirms to me that this individual is someone from the left, the cowardice displayed by hiding behind Anonymous. Of course, I can understand why with such a glaring lack of intelligence and deficient vocabulary he/she would be ashamed to reveal his/her true identity. If I were him or her, I would be embarrassed too.
