    Heh

    Christian comic books. That’s a GOOD one.

    God spared the dinosaurs and they were on the ark. But OOPS! The post flood world was not conducive to dinosaur survival! So, man gets to be responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs too!

    How do they get anyone over the age of 5 to buy that crap?

    Humans lived with dinosaurs, just like the Flintstone’s. It’s nice to see creationists get their knowledge from comic books. Maybe someone ought to tell them Spiderman isn’t real either.

    Heh. Did you read about the flap in Ohio over someone backing out of a promotional deal with the “creationist museum” when they found out the “museum” had a display they called historically accurate with a dinosaur wearing a SADDLE!

    Heheheh. HAHAHAHAHAHAH

    And they are upset because a SANE group pulled out of a joint promotion?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

    I found this on Crroks and Liars. It’s from the NYT on line edition.

    Odetta Holmes was born in Birmingham, Ala., on Dec. 31, 1930, in the depths of the Depression. The music of that time and place– particularly prison songs and work songs recorded in the fields of the Deep South– shaped her life.

    “They were liberation songs,” she said in a videotaped interview with the New York Times in 2007 for its online feature “The Last Word.” “You’re walking down life’s road, society’s foot is on your throat, every which way you turn you can’t get from under that foot. And you reach a fork in the road and you can either lie down and die, or insist upon your life.”

    Rest in peace Odetta. Your work is not finished though. Until the black community recognizes they are not the ONLY group with the majority foot on their collective necks, justice will not be served.

    How anyone can read those words and NOT see that the issue of equality for gay people indeed IS a civil rights issue is beyond me.

    Odetta understood. How long will we have to wait before the rest of her people, and the nation, gain some small bit of understanding too?

    We are at the fork in the road for us. And I for one am not going to lie down and die.

    I’m going to continue to insist on my life.

    MH provided the link, it’s from Jack Chick. He’s a true Christian, he says so in his comic books. His comic books also say that if you don’t believe as he does then you are going to hell.

    What exactly is a main stream Christian? Is it the Mormons, the Catholics or the Jehovah’s Witnesses? So many varieties but I’m sure they can all be lumped together somehow but said to be all completely different.

    It’s amazing how you pagans thrive on bashing someone’s belief system. One starts it and the others jump in like wolves feasting on wild pig.

    Speaking of pigs, I your assaults remind me of the study done on the eating habits of swine. They put five or six pigs in cages and stacked them one on top the other. They liberally fed the one on top letting it defecate on the one below it. The second pig would consume the excrement and in turn pass it along the one below it and so on. After a few weeks the experimenters observed how the pigs on the bottom of the stack lost very little weight.

    I hope you all have a nice feast this holiday season.

    And there were in those days dragons. And man did make of them beasts of burden. As did man in that day employ all beasts of the Earth and fowl of the air as day to day appliances.

    trickle-down economics is cool again!

    I was listening Jason Lewis yesterday… and he said something that really fascinated me. He was arguing with some caller over the auto bailout and their insistence that subsidizing that industry would benefit us all in the future… and he made a great point about economic theory:

    how is it so many people won’t believe in trickle-down theory when you cut taxes…

    but they are the first to believe it when you subsidize something…???

    I had recently made a similar point, but Jason really brought it into the realm of economics and theory. The next time liberals support a bailout… know this, they have just unwitingly bought into trickle-down economic theory. The only difference is that when you subsidize, you can CONTROL… when you cut taxes, you let the market work better. But this shouldn’t surprise anyone, now, should it? Democrats live and breathe control over our economy.

    I believe this is a huge gift that has just been given conservatives… tax cuts can now be defended via democrat’s own actions… and we can distinguisy our policies as being oriented around FREEDOM, not control. Let’s hope our elected conservative leadership pick up on this gold mine of debate.

    A prophet, by definition, is a teacher.

    “ANTI” –

    Jack Chick has been publishing his tracts for 30 years or more.

    When I was in college the Jesus Freaks passed them out on campus.

    You don’t do what Chick has done for 30 years without it being somewhere near the mainstream of the twice-born.

    Chick’s comic books work because it’s a comic book religion, complete with the giant guy in a bathrobe who has no face being “God.”

    It’s amazing the outrage expressed by alleged “christians” in response to me simply posting a link to one of the mainstays of evangelizing.

    Even those who pollute this forum with Young Earth Creationism resist Chick’s advocacy of their cause. Because given enough rope, they hang themselves.

    I didn’t adulterate any of Jack Chick’s theology. It’s right there on his web site and you can order his tracts and pass them out to your heart’s content.

    He is you. You are he.

    Own it.

    Those who define a “prophet” as one who has a direct line from God, are the same kind as those who buy into Pat Robertson’s little word game, “word of knowledge” — It is typically called “Private” or “Special” revelation…. Most denominations see it as just crazy….

    CNN found some interesting recently declassified documents from the 1980s:

    Declassified U.S. government documents show that while Saddam Hussein was gassing Iraqi Kurds, the U.S. opposed punishing Iraq with a trade embargo because it was cultivating Iraq as an ally against Iran and as a market for U.S. farm exports.

    According to Peter Galbraith, then an idealistic Senate staffer determined to stop Hussein from committing genocide, the Reagan administration “got carried away with their own propaganda. They began to believe that Saddam Hussein could be a reliable partner.”

    Truth In Politics: Gun Sales Boom After Election

    Mike Flannery CHICAGO (CBS) ? Gun sellers say the election of Barack Obama is helping them avoid the recession. Sales of new guns are booming – up an estimated 50 percent in the suburbs.

    In Wednesday’s Truth in Politics, CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports the gun lobby spent big trying to defeat Obama this year, outraged by his promise to reinstate a ban on military-style assault weapons. On talk radio, he was denounced as a “gun grabber.” Now, as Obama heads to the White House, millions are rushing to reload.

    Electric shock as sales of green cars go into reverse
    Ben Webster
    December 4, 2008
    Sales of electric cars have fallen by more than half this year, according to figures released two days after the Government’s climate change advisory body predicted a huge increase.
    Only 156 electric cars were sold from January to October, compared with 374 for the same period last year.

    Funny and accurate comment:
    “Maybe the Brits and Germans have figured out that electicity isn’t free, that batteries don’t last forever and are expensive to replace, that electic cars run of of juice quickly, that electic cars are much more expensive than gas-powered cars, that elecric cars don’t accelerate like gas-powered cars, that electic cars take a long-time to refresh the batteries, that gasoline technology is more advanced than electic-car technology, that the price of electicity will increase with demand, that re-juicing electic cars away from home is a problem, and that generating electricity doesn’t create any fewer by-products than gasoline.

    Other than those few things, electric cars are really great. Obamy told me.”

    Box,

    It’s not about saving the planet; it’s about grabbing political power and making a buck while they do it. They won’t debate the issue because it’s “settled science” according to Algore. It’s the no debate issue that causes one to wonder.

    Their arguments are; “if you don’t believe us, then you want to destroy the planet”.

    Nobody doubts that the weather is getting warmer; some just doubt that it’s caused by CO2 emissions and if it is for whatever reason, they doubt we are powerful enough to turn it around? We can’t stop earthquakes, hurricanes or volcanoes. How can we stop something as massive as the climate? The sun provides 99.9999999% of the energy in our solar system. Man’s footprint is indistinguishable in comparison. We might have more effect if we tried to turn down the sun.

    Another argument; “you’re just buying the big oil’s lie because they want to destroy the planet just to get richer.”

    What about all these green industries that stand to make billions from carbon trading? There are billions in tax credits that companies and organizations will get by selling products that are never made on their own merits. General Electric, which owns the leftist news media NBC and MSNBC, which make bio hazard light bulbs and the wind generators. The generators take years to recoup the initial investment IF the wind blows just right. NO guarantee. We have one US Oil Company profiting from the status quo and dozens if not hundreds of green companies that stand to profit by mandated government policies.

    Socialists/liberals can’t compete in the debate of ideological ideas so they’ve come up with this scheme to scare the steeple into giving up their rights to these “saviors of the world”.

    The only good thing coming out of this scam is a movement towards energy independence and a reduction in pollution. A clean environment is good but draconian policies will only send us deeper into an economic crisis due to a misallocation of resources.

    Why isn’t the father Charles Bizilj charged? Should he be?

    SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — A police chief whose company sponsored a gun fair and two other men have been indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself in the head with an Uzi at the gun fair.

    The Westfield Sportsman’s Club also faces the manslaughter charge in the death of Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Connecticut, who lost control of the 9mm micro submachine gun as it recoiled while he was firing at a pumpkin.

    The boy’s father was 10 feet behind him and reaching for his camera when the child fired the weapon.

    Pelham Police Chief Edward Fleury owns the COP Firearms & Training, which sponsored the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo Oct. 26 at the Westfield Sportsman’s Club.

    Two other men, Carl Guiffre of Hartford, Conn., and Domenico Spano, of New Milford, Conn., also were indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges, but it was not immediately clear what role Guiffre and Spano played in the boy’s death.

    “A Micro Uzi is made by and for the Israeli Armed Forces and is intended to meet the operational needs of Israeli Special Forces,” Hampden District Attorney William Bennett said, noting the weapon has a rate of fire of 1,700 round per minute. “It is not a hunting weapon.”

    Fleury and the club also were indicted on four counts each of furnishing a machine gun to a minor.

    Fleury, Guiffre and Spano did not immediately return calls for comment. A man who answered the phone at the club said he was a member; he refused to identify himself and said no one wanted to talk.

    The machine gun shoot drew hundreds of people to the sporting club’s 375-acre compound. An advertisement said it would include machine gun demonstrations and rentals and free handgun lessons.

    “It’s all legal & fun — No permits or licenses required!!!!” reads the ad, posted on the club’s Web site.

    “You will be accompanied to the firing line with a Certified Instructor to guide you. But You Are In Control — “FULL AUTO ROCK & ROLL,” the ad said.

    The ad also said children under 16 would be admitted free, and both adults and children were offered free .22-caliber pistol and rifle shooting.

    Christopher’s father, Charles Bizilj, has said his son had experience firing handguns and rifles but the gun show was his first time with an automatic weapon. A certified instructor was with the boy at the time.

    The family did not immediately return a call for comment.

    See another video – further proof that Planned Parenthood abortion mills violate reporting laws, cover up statutory rape, shield rapists, send underage rape victims across state lines for secret abortions without parental notification or consent, and send children back to adult rapists for more criminal abuse.
    Why would Planned Parenthood exploit and abuse children who are rape victims in this way?

    A report published by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons links the disproportionately high rate of preterm births (PTB) among black babies to the high rate of abortion among the black minority.
    The article, written by Dr. Brent Rooney et. al., notes that since PTB “has a serious adverse effect on children’s health, with a disparate impact on black children,” it is “crucial to discover the cause of the disparity.” Rooney is the research director of the Reduce Preterm Risk Coalition.
    The report notes that black American women are at three times higher risk for giving birth prematurely, and four times higher risk for giving birth extremely prematurely. Infants born extremely premature suffer a 129 times higher risk of cerebral palsy than infants born full-term. PTB also increases risk of mental retardation, autism, epilepsy, visual impairment, hearing disability, gastrointestinal injury, respiratory distress, and severe infections.
    Six studies were cited to show consistent evidence that women who had undergone induced abortions displayed a significantly increased risk of PTB. As the abortion rate in the black community is 4.3 times that of non-blacks – nearly one out of every two black American children is killed in utero – abortion was pinpointed as the likely cause for PTB.

    “Without an atmosphere and the “greenhouse” effect, our Earth’s average surface temperature would be about 60 degrees F. colder.” – Science guy

    ——————-

    “Without an atmosphere” it would be a heckuvalot colder than that, Science guy!

    Heheheh. Everytime ksfarmgrrl posts this stuff it makes the case for why homosexual people should NOT be allowed to have children, much less get married.

    outlander,

    Do you not understand the word “average”?

    outlander,

    Do you not understand the word “average”?
    =======================
    No atmosphere would be like the moon, a range of -300 to +200F (depending which side faces the sun.)

    60 degrees Fahrenheit sounds like it may have come from IPCC thinking; flawed and constantly adjusted depending on funding and wild arm flailing.

    Ah crap, I missed an amusing Open Thread!

    Thanks for the Chick link, MH. I remember one of my classmates in school handing me a tract entitled “Big Daddy?,” with the obligatory idiotic-looking ape.

    I thought it was pretty funny even then. My family got a laugh out of it too.

    outlander,

    Are you going to post your credible science source(s) showing that the Earth’s average surface temperature would drop “a heckuvalot colder than” to about -18 degrees C.?

    Or not, and admit that I’m right, and you’re wrong.

    The composition of our Earth’s atmosphere is critical to our existence here.

    I just returned home from a musical performance by East High School’s bands. What a joy. FREE! I would have paid for the honor to hear those talented musicians — the Jazz Band, Concert Band and Symphonic Band.

    And, there is a pipe organ that had been allowed to become in a state of disrepair. A ‘93 East High alum took it on as a project — cleaned the pipes, took the organ apart, rebuilt it and tonight for the first time in many many years it played. Oh, the sounds, the BIG sounds that pipe organ can make. It was played tonight by Brett Valliant, Senior Organist at the First United Methodist Church. Here’s a website about the Jessie L. Clark organ:

    Interesting local history!

    Hi all. Reporting in from my observation of winger radio.

    My chosen gift for the cause until we get us back a Fairness doctrine.

    Maybe we won’t need it.

    The circular firing squad that is forming on the right extends to rant radio.

    There are rumors that Bill O’Reilly is getting out. Michael “Savage” Weiner made it his whole show this evening.

    I thought this was funny – someone stole the atheist sign at the Capitol bldg – Atheist are so stupid that they can’t come up with their own holiday – they have to attack the Christian holiday – I think we should designate April 1st as the official Atheist holiday
