Well, I guess that would just make them blacks then, not conservatives. Did it even once cross my mind to vote for Hillary because she is a woman and I, too, am female? Nope.

My biggest disappointment? J. C. Watts. I would have never dreamed this, even in my worst nightmares that he would be this racist:

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he’s thinking of voting for Obama. Watts said he’s still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.

“And Obama highlights that even more,” Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. “Republicans often seem indifferent to those things.”

How, exactly does the DemonRat party reach out to the black community? By preaching to them that they are not as smart or capable as whites, and the only way they can achieve anything is through affirmative action? By giving them government handouts, with the message, “Because we know you can’t make it on your own.”?

Am I to apologize for being part of a party that doesn’t make distinguishments based on the color of someone’s skin?

At least some fellow conservatives still remain true to the cause versus their skin color:

Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that “come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him.” Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.

“I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack’s nomination are a little bit misguided,” he said.

Me too Mr. Steele.  :)

Atheist Soldier Claims Harassment

Do we need a don’t ask don’t tell policy for atheists in the military? Well, according to an AP article on OneNewsNow, Specialist Jeremy Hall claims harassment for being an atheist in the military:

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. - Like hundreds of young men joining the Army in recent years, Jeremy Hall professes a desire to serve his country while it fights terrorism.

But the short and soft-spoken specialist is at the center of a legal controversy. He has filed a lawsuit alleging he’s been harassed and his constitutional rights have been violated because he doesn’t believe in God. The suit names Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

I’m having a difficult time finding where this soldier’s Constitutional rights have been violated, but I’m no attorney.

I find this part of the story strange:

Hall, 23, was raised in a Protestant family in North Carolina and dropped out of school. It wasn’t until he joined the Army that he began questioning religion, eventually deciding that he couldn’t follow any faith.

But he feared how that would look to other soldiers.

“I was ashamed to say that I was an atheist,” Hall said.

It eventually came out in Iraq in 2007, when he was in a firefight. Hall was a gunner on a Humvee, which took several bullets in its protective shield. Afterward, his commander asked whether he believed in God, Hall said.

Strange wording. Which was it? Was he afraid to say he was an atheist or ashamed? There is a difference. Hall has turned to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation for support. Hmmm … strange group. I’m having difficulty understanding their purpose. Is it to ensure that citizens in the military are guaranteed freedom from religion? While the video on the intro page of the website does not load and play properly, I find it offensive and ignorant that it is comparing Christian soldiers with radical islamists.

I have found this video on YouTube. Um, yeah, Ed Asner is involved. That alone answers any questions I have regarding the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Basically, they want to expel Christianity from the US Military. Ugh! That would be a stupid move.

I think it’s fine if this man chooses to deny the existence of God. It doesn’t change or affect God. It just seems like this young man is borrowing trouble by suing the Defense Secretary. Of course, it’s not about the money or furthering a political agenda. I find it frustrating that our military is even having to deal with this with so many other real important matters on their plate.

What do you guys think?

Weekly Roundup on Sunday

I never done a weekly roundup before, but OneNewsNow is just full of good stories for the week.

Happy Birthday Israel! Turning 60?! Awesome. No nation has ever fit the bill as a miracle nation like the Israel does. Even more exciting — God told us in His Word that they would be a nation again. I’m getting ready to head to church or I’d leave references. Feel free to leave them in the comment section (Neil). :) Anyway, as frustrating as politics are right now, we are living in EXCITING times and Bible prophecy is being fulfilled each and every day.

Israeli activist, Gary Bauer, is urging the U.S. State Department to make sure former President Carter doesn’t run a muck the world meeting with and endorsing terrorists organizations:

Bauer, president of the conservative group American Values, says it is dangerous for Carter to grant legitimacy to the terrorist group. “This trip is an absolute disaster. It’s counter to the national security interest of the United States, and I want to call on the State Department to seriously consider revoking former President Carter’s visa so that this sort of trip cannot be done again. It is damaging to the interests of the United States,” Bauer contends.

I agree, but a reality check tells me this nut of an ex-President will continue in his asinine ways until he finally gets the chance to answer to God for his bone head foreign policy ideas. Ouch! I would not want to be Jimmuh on that day.

Guess what? National Right to Life is endorsing McCain! Really, what choice do they have?

National Right to Life has endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) for president. While McCain has not been considered the ideal candidate by most of the pro-life community, many consider him a much better choice than either Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) or Senator Barak Obama (D-Illinois).

And last but least, Californians had better start spanking their children while it’s still legal. I’m not saying that all children need spanked, but like it not, most do! I can pretty much guarantee you that our child would not be headed down the path of success if proper discipline had not been part of her upbringing.

The legislation is a resurrected version of Democrat Sally Lieber’s bill from last year, minus the outright spanking ban. The bill prohibits using “implements” such as wooden spoons, paddles, rolled-up newspapers, switches, belts, or brushes — essentially, allowing only the hand.

Randy Thomasson of Campaign for Children and Families warns that if the bill is approved, the penalty for their use is severe. “You’re going to be arrested, handcuffed, taken to the police station, [and be] charged,” he details. Thomasson says that once a parent is charged, then a jury will determine if it was reasonable for that parent to administer a spanking.

Not to start a parenting lesson here, but I truly believe spanking your child with your hand is wrong. Not to mention, very ineffective.

Well, I have to run to church. My apologies in advance if this post is full of typos — that’s what we get when we type with one hand and get in a hurry! :)

I’ve been extremely busy, but I know I need to post. So, I’m going to hat tip the lovely VelvetHammer and copy her post. Many of you may have already seen this at Velvet’s place, but for those of you who haven’t — is this an outrage or what?

By John Jalsevac

New Mexico, January 30, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The case of a Christian photographer who refused to photograph a same-sex “commitment ceremony”, was heard before the New Mexico Human Rights Division on Monday.

A same-sex couple asked Elaine Huguenin, co-owner with her husband of Elane Photography, to photograph a “commitment ceremony” that the two women wanted to hold. Huguenin declined because her Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony.

The same-sex couple filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Division, which is now trying Elane Photography under state antidiscrimination laws for sexual orientation discrimination.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a legal alliance that is dedicated to defending and protecting religious freedom, sanctity of life, marriage, and family, is currently defending Elane Photography. Continue Reading …

It makes me proud that Tieki Rae desires to work for an organization such as the Alliance Defense fund when she finishes school. I believe she’ll give ‘em heck. :)

Once again, thank you Velvet for these outrageous finds you dig up.

Barack O’Barf Obama Alert

MAJOR barf alert! Seriously, what do you do with someone who is this freaking stupid?!obama_11.jpg Walk in love? Not for me today, thanks.

If you are not signed up to receive daily updates from Life News, and you are interested in the politics that are played daily regarding abortion, I highly recommend it. Steve Ertelt works hard to keep us informed.

Take Obama trying to spin his votes favoring partial birth abortion for example:

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama gave a recent interview to Christianity Today magazine and said he wants to do more than previous Democratic candidates in pursuing evangelical voters. But when told his pro-abortion views are a turnoff to pro-life advocates, Obama was unapologetic in his defense of unlimited abortion. …

…”I do think that those who diminish the moral elements of the decision aren’t expressing the full reality of it,” he said. “But what I believe is that women do not make these decisions casually, and that they struggle with it fervently with their pastors, with their spouses, with their doctors.”

“Our goal should be to make abortion less common, that we should be discouraging unwanted pregnancies, that we should encourage adoption wherever possible,” Obama told the magazine. Full article

Sounds like a plan you jerk. I’m sure the babies who are being stabbed in the back of the head with scissors and then having their brains sucked out would prefer to be adopted by parents who love them.

Oh, and talk about keeping pastors busy! Over a million children murdered per year in the United States. And to think, these women are struggling fervently with their clergy coming to this decision. Wow, Obama almost spins it to make it look like the clergy are advising mothers to kill their children.  I give you DemonRATS at their best ladies and gentlemen.

My friend, Sam Pierce, has the best plan for these demonRAT fools:

Someone called into The Wilkow Majority today with a good suggestion, a plan to execute death row prisoners by piercing the base of the skull with scissors, spreading the opening, and vacuuming out the contents of the skull.

This would at least get some of the twisted anti-capitol punishment, pro-abortion people to acknowledge the brutality of this procedure!

The NY Times mentions …

Well, I can only be so famous in one day, but they do mention Fremont County GOP politics! Hat Tip again to that little Tieki Rae for giving me the heads up:

In Riverton, the Fremont County party was also scheduled to start at 8 a.m., but it did not make the target of a 9:30 a.m. vote announced by Perry Marple, the county chairman. The session was at times persnickety and at times amiable, with “Happy Birthday” sung to a Sunday school teacher who offered the opening prayer.

Delegates also spent more than an hour arguing over which alternates should replace which absent delegates. Finally, at 3 p.m., Dennis Tippets was elected a Romney delegate by one vote.

Awww… wasn’t Mr. Clymer persnickety? Obviously, President Bush and Dick Cheney don’t think of him as persnickety,clymer.jpg but as a major league ###hole. :) Did I mention in my previous post that Adam Clymer from the NY Times was there, er, I mean here in Fremont County? I have to admit, at times our Convention was a bit circus like, though Mr. Clymer fails to credit the Ron Paul moonbats for any of it.

I met Mr. Clymer, and had to chuckle at the thought of the 2000 Labor Day Weekend open mike incidence. :)

Vet lauds female guard who felled gunman

A must read from the Denver Post:

Bourbonnais, who was among those shot by a gunman Sunday at New Life Church, watched as a security guard, a woman later identified as Jeanne Assam, calmly returned fire and killed the shooter.

“She just started walking toward the gunman firing the whole way,” said Bourbonnais, who was shot in the arm. “She was just yelling ‘Surrender,’ walking and shooting the whole time.”

Wow. Amazing first hand testimony. I recommend reading the entire article. It’s not very long and quite astonishing.

UPDATE: Would the MSM try and dig up dirt on this heroine? You bet they would!  Hat tip Lucianne poster.

The president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis says police were investigating a complaint that Assam swore at a bus driver while she was handling an incident on a city bus. He says Assam denied that she swore at the driver, but her actions were caught on tape.

Ruh Roh Shaggy! She swore?! I loved what one commenter at Lucianne had to say about this travesty:

Well I guess they did not fire her for a lack of coolness under fire or inability to hit a target under fire.
How does her past problem have an impact on her current behavior. Dirt throwing clowns.

I was wondering why the MSM wasn’t covering this much. It took them a bit to dig up some dirt. Freaking morons.  :)

Guard’s hands “didn’t even shake” as she shot gunman

From the Denver Post:

The guard who saved untold lives at New Life Church gives credit to God for giving her cover, and boosting her firepower as she shot a heavily-armed gunman.

“I give credit to God. I say that very humbly,” said Jeanne Assam. “God was with me, the whole time I was behind cover. Based on the firepower he had, compared to mine.”

Assam spoke at a press conference in Colorado Springs this afternoon. She is one of about 12 armed security officers at New Life Church, according to Pastor Brady Boyd.

She responded when Matthew Murray, 24, began targeting church members in Colorado Springs, after aassam.jpg rampage hours earlier in Arvada in which two missionary training center staff members were killed and two were injured. Two teenagers at New Life were fatally shot, and three others injured before Assam could shoot Murray.

She calmly described how the incident unfolded.

“I heard shots fired, there was chaos,” she said. “There was a lot of people in the church. People were running away from shots fired.

“I saw him coming through the doors, and I took cover, and I waited for him to get closer…I identified myself, engaged him, and took him down.”

She spoke unemotionally, but the first words she said were in tribute to the victims.

“I just want you to know it’s an honor to be here and I want to extend my sympathy to the families of the victims and of the gunman. And I mean that very sincerely,” she said.

“I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me my hands weren’t even shaking.”

God bless her. She is a hero.

Teen sisters killed in Springs

Very sad news from the Denver Post:

The two victims who died after the shooting at New Life Church in Colorado Springs are teenage sisters, and the girls’ father was also shot, according to police.

Colorado Springs police released the names of shooting victims this morning.

The two killed at the church are sisters Stephanie Works, 18, and Rachael Works, 16, police said. The girls were home-schooled, according to a district spokesperson.

Also, from the same article:

The shooter was shot and killed by a volunteer security guard at the church, said Boyd.

Boyd said the security guard, a woman with a law enforcement background, whom he did not identify, encountered the gunman in a hallway at the church and fired on him, saving many lives.

“He had enough ammunition on him to cause a lot of damage,” Boyd said.

Boyd said the gunman has no ties to the church.

“It was just absolutley random,” Boyd said. “A senseless random attack.”

Praise God for that courageous lady.

My most sincere sympathy to the families who lost loved ones in this tragic ordeal.
