Ah ha! I didn’t forget! (Mostly because I set an alert to remind myself with Outlook and am writing this Thursday night prior to hitting the sack.)

Yay!! It’s Friday!!! Always remember, EVERYONE is a winner that comments at Sunflower Desert (except for libtards).

Anyway, I thought it would be fun for the winner to be our favorite atheist elephant commenting on my Creflo Dollar tells Senator Grassley where he can put it post:

Sorry, the Constitution does not protect vulgarity, pornography, and the murder of children.
Ditto that. The First Amendment protects speech, not expression; a reasonable interpretation excludes porn. “Speech,” in 1790, did not include pornography.

The Constitution leaves matters of health, safety, and welfare to the States. If the people elect legislators who outlaw abortion, then you can’t whine and complain that it’s just not fair that you have to be pregnant after having unprotected sex.

My rant, by the way, extends to the estate tax. If you are smart enough to make your money, then you can decide if your kids are smart enough to spend it wisely; you can decide if your kids are fools, but hey, it’s your money and you can waste it; or you can decide if you want it to go to charity. I don’t see how the government should be involved in that.

(The worst part is, if you’ll permit an off-topic rant, that the estate tax hits really early. Imagine parents of a mentally and physically disabled kid. $2 million isn’t enough to keep that kid going for the rest of his life. Then there’s wealthy parents with a lot of kids - once you’re done splitting the pie eight or nine or ten ways, there’s not much, but hey, it’s still “a lot of money and really really unfair” so the gov’t taxes it.

The nation was founded on capitalistic principles, among others. If you don’t like it, go over to Russia or China or Romania, and enjoy the equality there - everyone is equally POOR.

Yes! Finally Friday! This week I’m giving the award to a one time only commenter. Jim Enright commented on the Thank God Chuck Hagel is resigning post:

Chuck saved us Nebraskans the trouble of chucking him out in the senate primary. He would have lost because Nebraska Republicans don’t cotton to phonies like Hagel that run as real Republicans and turn into defeatist, amnesty advocating, Bush bashing, Republican hating, Bloomberg praising RHINOS. Hagel gone? Thank you, Jesus!

I think he says that nicely. Don’t you agree?

FYI: We will be traveling to and from Denver this weekend and I don’t anticipate being able to check my blog too much tomorrow once I leave work. So, comment away and know that I am not ignoring you. I look forward to catching up on Sunday evening. Take care and everyone have a fantastic weekend!

BTW, has anyone else notice that when we have to travel oil is always at record highs? Kinda ticks me off. Continue reading ‘Comment of the Week!’

Number 1 Killer of Blacks

Well, according to a Pastor in Tennessee. From OneNewsNow:

The pastor of an African Methodist Episcopal church in Tennessee says blacks in America need to know that an enemy much more dangerous than the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups snuffs out the lives of more blacks than do violence, accidents, and all diseases combined.

Joseph Parker is pastor of Campbell Chapel AME Church in Pulaski, Tennessee, birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan. Parker says most blacks would agree that the Klan is viewed as the number-one enemy of blacks. Yet despite all the violence that group has committed over the years, the Tennessee pastor says it “pales in comparison” to the violence and killing committed by the world’s largest abortion-provider, Planned Parenthood.

“Planned Parenthood kills more black people in three days than the Klan has killed in its entire history of existence,” he states emphatically. “Yet many in the African-American community [who] don’t even see Planned Parenthood as an enemy would see them as a friend. So one of the things we’re using as a platform is explaining that ‘you may think the Klan is your enemy — let me show you the real enemy.’”

Parker says black churches need to educate their congregations on the number-one killer of blacks. “Right now the biggest killer of the African-American community is abortion,” he explains. “If you [combine] all the deaths from AIDS and high blood pressure and diabetes … it pales in comparison.”

Parker’s says his message is simple. Most blacks, he asserts, would say abortion is not a “black problem,” when it is in fact their number-one problem.

Using data compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the group BlackGenocide.org estimates that since 1973, more than 13 million black babies have been killed by abortion. According to that data, deaths among blacks attributed to AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease totaled less than five million.
