Why So Extreme?

June 20, 2009

The modern Republican Party's plight can be compared, I think, to the experience of American Protestantism in the last half of the 19th century. I'll explain in a minute.
Today, many moderates, Democrats, Independents, as well as liberals, have difficulty comprehending what looks like an obvious and ongoing denial of reality by the modern Republican Party. [...]

Pride In The President, Part 2

June 7, 2009

Today I continue with Part 2 of my appraisal of President Obama's speech from Cairo, Egypt….
To those Muslims in Hamas, Hizbollah, al-Qaeda, or Iran,…Obama spoke honestly and directly about Israel…
Six million Jews were killed – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with [...]

Pride In Our President, Part 1

June 6, 2009

The Obama speech from Cairo, Egypt…
The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without [...]

Jihad For Jesus

June 3, 2009

Rachel Maddow puts Dr. George Tiller's execution by known domestic terrorist, Scott Roeder, into it's proper perspective, while Rachel's guest, Dr. Warren Hern, rightly explains why Tiller's killing was an American political assassination, not a random violent act.
Hern's comments are essential….they start at about the 5 minute mark.

Defending Domestic Terrorists

June 2, 2009

Not all Americans opposed to abortions are domestic terrorists. In the same way, not all Muslims who are opposed to America's imperialistic interventions into Arab and Muslim countries are international terrorists.
Just as there are those within Muslim lands who radicalize young, vulnerable Muslims through repetitive messages of jihad against the west….so too, there are those [...]

American Taliban

June 1, 2009

Remember this?
April 15, 2009, Foxnews.com…
The government considers you a terrorist threat if you oppose abortion, own a gun or are a returning war veteran.
That's what House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Wednesday in response to a Department of Homeland Security report warning of the rise of right-wing extremist groups.
Smith, who said the [...]

'Can't Make This Stuff Up' Tuesday

May 5, 2009

Our military's role in Afghanistan? Hunting people for Jesus.
I thought we were spreading freedom. That's what Commander Guy said.
__________
Hell no, we're not intolerant. GOP'ers pick Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to replace Arlen Specter as ranking Republican on Senate Judiciary Committee.
Commenting on Sessions' 80's fight against black Americans, former MLK adviser said this yesterday….
"We were trying to [...]

GOP Now A Cult

May 3, 2009

Update video below:
The political party known as Republican has allowed itself to morph into a cult.
Having been soundly defeated last November, and now posting approval/identification numbers similar to Richard Cheney's…..an outside observer might conclude that the GOP should be seriously considering a humble re-evaluation of what has gone so terribly wrong for them. [...]

The God Report: Israel's "Religious War"

March 23, 2009

Last week I blogged about the Pope's astonishly out-of-touch statement about AIDS. Pope Benedict said that "condoms increase the problem" of AIDS in Africa.
Here are a few international responses to what the Vicar said…
A New York Times editorial said the pope 'deserves no credence when he distorts scientific findings' about condoms.
A French foreign minister [...]

The God Report: Blasphemy in Philly

March 21, 2009

The United States is a place where silly, medieval, religious beliefs don't determine our laws. We're free from the unenlightened nonsense often witnessed in backward countries like, say, Iran, whose silly embarassment of a government includes an "Office for Promotion of Virtue and Prohibition of Vice." Can you imagine? And who could forget the barbarian [...]
