Religion of Peace Strikes Again...

Anyone who claims that the Global War On Terror (GWOT) - renamed to 'overseas contingency operations' shortly after Obama took office in 2009 - is not a religious war, has their head buried so far up their ass that they are unable to see the road ahead of us which we have been forced to drive on, unable to effectively prosecute this conflict, and therefore, unable to protect this country, its people or its freedoms. End of discussion.

Remember folks, reindeer have other uses...

Caffe Boa offering an-all-reindeer menu over Christmas
by Howard Seftel - Dec. 7, 2010 10:45 AM
Republic restaurant critic

Last Easter, chef Payton Curry and the crew at cheeky Caffe Boa in Tempe decided to get in the holiday spirit by putting together a special all-rabbit dinner. Public reaction ranged from anger to bemusement. The Easter Bunny went into hiding. Needless to say, the publicity was priceless.

Now, channeling the spirit of Christmas, and firm in the belief that there's no such thing as bad publicity, the Caffe Boa team is fashioning a multicourse tasting menu featuring - you guessed it - reindeer.

Well, not exactly Euro-Asian reindeer, but North American caribou. (The two are basically the same - the distinction is based on geography.)

Don't worry about Rudolph and the rest of the gang not being able to play any more reindeer games: Curry's caribou comes from Colorado and Idaho, not the North Pole.

The menu begins with caribou tartare gilded with pickled quail egg. That's followed by caribou tongue bruschetta with pickled watermelon radish and horseradish cream. Then there's caribou sausage with red lentils and quince mustard. Up next are two pasta courses: pappardelle with caribou Bolognese and caribou-filled tortellini in a parmesan broth. The caribou parade ends with bollito misto, a meat and vegetable stew...

*snip*

It's not that I hate them. They really are some of God's most beautiful creatures and they sure do taste good after cooking for a few hours over a hickory flame. Ten years ago, when I was working down in Westchester County, I had the pleasure of eating at a restaurant named "La Braseria" (at least I think that's what it was called). I can't find them on the internet today, assuming they have since gone out of business, but back then, they must have had a chain franchise in and around NYC. I've eaten at one in White Plains, one outside of Valhalla, and one in the Nanuet Mall. It was a Brazilian BBQ house that features an all-you-can-eat menu of animals, uncommon to typical American cuisine. Servers walked from table to table with long skewers held vertically and resting on a block of wood. Each server had healthy portions of several different BBQ'd meats on his skewer, and upon arriving at your table, would identify each the meats. If you liked something he had, he would remove it from the skewer and place it on your dish. If you didn't want what he had, you simply waited for the next server to arrive at your table with with a different selection of meats. One night, I ate the flesh of 17 different beasts. Among them were ostrich, camel, crocodile, kangaroo, tortoise, and REINDEER. Yes folks, I ate BBQ reindeer and it was damned good, but stay away from the kangaroo, it was tough as leather!

More importantly here folks, the reason for the Christmas season is not any more about Santa and reindeer than Easter is about a large furry rabbit hiding colored, hard-boiled eggs and candy around your house on a particular Sunday in early Spring. These holidays are supposed to be about the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even if a bunch of pagans or atheists try to make these holidays about anything other than what they really are, that doesn't take away from the fact that God gave us dominion over other animals for use as food and labor. You should also bear in mind that Santa's reindeer, while probably just as tasty, serve a higher purpose due to their ability to fly, and for that reason alone, have likely been able to save themselves from becoming the main course on Santa's dinner table.

Happy Hanukah to all my Jewish friends!

Can't find anything to be thankful for?

Also, if you are a citizen of the United States of America, you are better off than 95% of the rest of the world because you are an official member of the freest, most beautiful, most prosperous, most charitable, most peaceful and most powerful country in the world. Even with a socialist occupying the White House, by being in this country, you have more opportunity here to better the lives of yourself and your family than you do anywhere else on Earth.

I've lost quite a bit over the past 10 years and stand to loose even more in the near future, but even with all that loss and heartache, I still have many things to be thankful for. God blesses me each day that I'm able to rise and see the light of a new day. Every morning He gives me yet another day to try and finally get it right.


Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!

To all of you and yours...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you this Christmas and throughout the New Year!

O, Holy Night

And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people: For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying:

Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will.

-The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke: 8-14 (Douay-Rheims)

There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government
By Janet Daley
The UK Telegraph
Published: 7:24PM GMT 19 Dec 2009

There is scope for debate – and innumerable newspaper quizzes – about who was the most influential public figure of the year, or which the most significant event. But there can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective. 2009 was the year in which "global" swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were "global crises" and "global challenges", the only possible resolution to which lay in "global solutions" necessitating "global agreements". Gordon Brown actually suggested something called a "global alliance" in response to climate change. (Would this be an alliance against the Axis of Extra-Terrestrials?)

Some of this was sheer hokum: when uttered by Gordon Brown, the word "global", as in "global economic crisis", meant: "It's not my fault". To the extent that the word had intelligible meaning, it also had political ramifications that were scarcely examined by those who bandied it about with such ponderous self-importance. The mere utterance of it was assumed to sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.

The dangerous idea that the democratic accountability of national governments should simply be dispensed with in favour of "global agreements" reached after closed negotiations between world leaders never, so far as I recall, entered into the arena of public discussion. Except in the United States, where it became a very contentious talking point, the US still holding firmly to the 18th-century idea that power should lie with the will of the people.

The Apocalypse of Saint John
the Apostle [Ch 13, Vrs 1-10]

1 And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads,
names of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard: and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
a lion. And the dragon gave him his own strength and great
power.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death:
and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in
admiration after the beast.

4 And they adored the dragon which gave power to the
beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the
beast? And who shall be able to fight with him?

5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do,
two and forty months.

6 And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against
God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them
that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints
and to overcome them. And power was given him over every
tribe and people and tongue and nation.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which
was slain from the beginning of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10 He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity:
he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints...

Back in September of 2007, I was alarmed at the language coming from the Vatican on the issue of global warming. Well, today there is news of the Pontiff weighing in on the issue once again, just in time for the gathering at Copenhagen.

Rich nations must assume environmental duties: pope [sic]
Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:53am GMT
By Philip Pullella

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Industrialized nations must recognize their responsibility for the environmental crisis, shed their consumerism and embrace more sober lifestyles, Pope Benedict said on Tuesday.

The pope's call for more environmental commitments came in his message for the Roman Catholic Church's annual World Day of Peace, to be marked on Jan 1 and whose theme is "If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Protect Creation."

*snip*

"Our present crises -- be they economic, food-related, environmental or social -- are ultimately also moral crises, and all of them are interrelated."

He called on all people to "move beyond a purely consumerist mentality" so that they could "rethink the path which we are traveling together" and adapt "a lifestyle marked by sobriety and solidarity" between the haves and the have nots.

Environmental issues deserved the attention of the world community because the were [sic] human rights issues that could influence the right to life, food, health and development.

"Sad to say, it is all too evident that large numbers of people in different countries and areas of our planet are experiencing increased hardship because of the negligence or refusal of many others to exercise responsible stewardship over the environment," he said.

Once again, I am beside myself. As a conservationist, I can understand where he is coming from on the issue of squandering natural resources in the name of want and greed, but the socialism aspect of his message is causing me to pull out what little hair I have left on my head. However, due to other obligations this evening, I haven't the time or the desire to reiterate my thoughts regarding this matter, so allow me to repost what I wrote back then. For the most part, my song remains the same. For those of you who didn't get a chance to read it the first time, please read it - especially if you are a brother or sister Catholic...
_______________________________________________________________________

As a traditionalist Catholic living in America, I consider myself someone who stands apart from many others in this country who are appearing more and more as Catholics in name only or CINOs. I find it appalling, that many of them think most priests are pedophiles, priests should be allowed to marry, women should be priests, all war and capital punishment is evil, God is excepting of homosexuality, and human life doesn't really begin until childbirth. I also find it equally disturbing when I hear them rag about how Pope Benedict XVI is some right wing Nazi who is unsympathetic to progressive Catholic views. Frankly speaking, Catholicism should have never evolved into its present day format, but what liberal Catholics are failing to realize is that 40 years ago, Fr. Joseph Ratzinger was instrumental in orchestrating the progressive transformation of the Church known as the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II.

Even though Pope Benedict has said that Vatican II did not accomplish what he originally intended, he is determined to hold fast to the new dogmatic principals.

Well, it appears that "God's Rottweiler" has for some time now been espousing philosophies which leave me a bit unnerved and without proper clarification might cause an even larger rift between conservative capitalists and the socialists within the Church.

Pope to make climate action a moral obligation
The Independent
By James Macintyre
Published: 22 September 2007

The Pope is expected to use his first address to the United Nations to deliver a powerful warning over climate change in a move to adopt protection of the environment as a "moral" cause for the Catholic Church and its billion-strong following.

The New York speech is likely to contain an appeal for sustainable development, and it will follow an unprecedented Encyclical (a message to the wider church) on the subject, senior diplomatic sources have told The Independent.

It will act as the centrepiece of a US visit scheduled for next April - the first by Benedict XVI, and the first Papal visit since 1999 - and round off an environmental blitz at the Vatican, in which the Pope has personally led moves to emphasise green issues based on the belief that climate change is affecting the poorest people on the planet, and the principle that believers have a duty to "protect creation".

*snip*

What can I say? I love my Church and I am committed to following its teachings, but this latest directive from the Pope is leaving a horrible taste of sulfur in my mouth. Enviro-mental-illness is typically a leftist agenda and to hear this guy come out in defense of "green" issues in this fashion is literally scaring the bejezus out of me. I mean, WTF? Is my beloved Pope being demoniacally possessed by Algore???

Doesn't the Pope realize that capitalism is the economic powerhouse which fuels charitable contributions in the first place? Doesn't the Pope know how his directives will be used by the environmental propagandists to push their godless and socialist agendas? Doesn't the Pope realize that by working to change the hearts of men consumed by greed, he can promote compassionate capitalism which in turn can help others to help themselves instead of living the rest of their lives as slaves to welfare and entitlement systems of socialism?

Pope Benedict XVI should instead be making it clear that socialism without God at the center is nothing more than atheistic communism which seeks to enslave the human race!

I can understand if he's concerned that humans should be more charitable and I can understand if he's concerned that humans should be more conscious of conserving natural resources. As I have said in the past; I am a conservationist, not an environmentalist. The conservationist is mindful of not trashing his surroundings or squandering its resources. I believe in sound and practical environmental management. I am dead set against littering. I also believe in giving back to the earth what I take. But to suggest that I or even the largest corporation on earth can have any impact on altering global climate trends is pure folly! When you think of the levels of carbon dioxide man contributes to our atmosphere compared to that which comes from volcanoes and all the oceans around the world, how can anyone possibly think that by our efforts, we can make any significant change?

Here, allow me to share with you the show that has pissed off the enviro-mental-patients, blown away the theory that man-made CO2 has anything to do with global warming and that all this enviro-mental-madness is absolute bunk...


The Great Global Warming Swindle


Navitor69 | MySpace Video


Not surprisingly, all the nut cases who worship at the church of Algore have issued a fatwah pledging holy jihad against the scientists and the makers of this television series. The internet is full of condemnation over it and the lies being thrown out there to discredit the documentary speak volumes on the character of the people against it.

To purchase the entire DVD, go to http://www.greatglobalwarmingswindle.co.uk/dvd.html

Ultimately, what I see going on here is another misguided attempt by the Church to increase the numbers of faithful by appealing to the trend of the day. This is not unlike the attempt that was made back 40 years ago when Vatican II was instituted. By loosening the orthodox principles on which our Catechism was founded, you inevitably risk sacrificing the strength of the Church as a whole.

To the Editor: Save the Earth, get rid of trappings of Christmas
By The Post-Standard
December 02, 2009, 6:50AM

In today's Post-Standard, one reader says Christmas traditions do harm to our planet:

To the Editor:

I believe we should think about doing away with Christmas. Our planet is in big trouble, and giving up Christmas would help to save it in many ways.

Not having to do extra driving, looking for gifts, would save on gas and therefore on carbon dioxide emissions.

Millions of trees would not be cut down, allowing them to grow large and to eat up the carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.

The land normally used for Christmas tree farms could be planted with fast-growing hardwood forests to suck up even more CO2.

No Christmas lights or decorations would mean fewer utilities would be used, therefore saving on our natural resources.

There wouldn’t be so much stuff to swell our already fast-expanding landfills.

I think people would be calmer, happier and less stressed if they didn’t have to deal with the holiday. Many who live alone or have no family ties get depressed around Christmastime. There are even increased numbers of suicides. Not celebrating Christmas would mean folks could save money and not go further into debt buying presents that the recipients didn’t even want or need.

Those wishing to celebrate Christ could have their religious and/or family get-togethers and remember Him for whom Christmas was named. It seems like we’ve gotten rather far away from that.

Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is imminent
October 21, 12:27 AM
Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner
Michael Salla, Ph.D.

An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.

The impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions where approximately 30 nations secretly agreed on a new openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009. The openness policy was implemented but never publicly announced due to threats against UN diplomats not to disclose details of the secret agreement. h The secret UN agreement was based on two conditions. First, UFOs would continue to appear around the world; and second, the openness policy would not lead to social unrest in liberal democracies. Both conditions have been satisfied making it possible for the next stage to begin – official disclosure of extraterrestrial life.

*snip*

By itself, this disclosure would laughable due to the fact that Obama is such a lying MFCSCommunist looking to rape the world of it's wealth in collusion with the United Nations. However, there was this report earlier this month...

Vatican prepares for extraterrestrial disclosure
November 12, 9:26 AM
Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner
Michael Salla, Ph.D.

The Vatican has just completed a five day conference astrobiology where scientists convened to discuss the detection and implications of extraterrestrial life. A major driving force behind the conference was the Director of the Vatican Observatory, the Jesuit priest Father Jose Gabriel Funes. In May 2008, Funes gave an interview to the Vatican’s L’Osservatore Romano newspaper saying that the existence of intelligent extraterrestrials posed no problems to Catholic theology. The conference itself was officially convened by the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, chaired by its religious leader Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, and was held on private Vatican grounds from November 6-10. Together with Funes’ 2008 interview and subsequent public comments by him, the conference demonstrates a welcome openness by the Vatican on the possibility and implications of extraterrestrial life. The Vatican’s openness to discussion of extraterrestrial life is no accident. It is part of an openness policy secretly adopted by the United Nations in February 2008. In fact, the Vatican is playing a leading role in preparing the world for extraterrestrial disclosure.

*snip*

The Vatican’s new openness on extraterrestrial life is consistent with reports of secret discussions held at the United Nations that began in February 2008. The Vatican’s permanent representative to the UN, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, was reported to have attended along with a number of other prominent government officials to discuss increased UFO sightings and the implications of extraterrestrial visitation. Significantly, Migliore's position requires that he maintains close relations with the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences. At the time of the secret UN discussions, Migliore made a presentation on moral issues associated with scientific problems such as climate change. Most importantly, the UN discussions reportedly led to a new policy of openness being adopted by approximately 30 nations that would begin in 2009.

*snip*

I don't normally pay much in the way of homage to paranormal activity. Most of what is out there can be explained one way or another through scientific analysis. Like most folks, I believe in what I can see and that includes believing in God. Just look around at the absolute beauty, brilliance and complexity of what makes up the universe and the Earth that sustains our life forms. We were no accident and we didn't just jump from monkey to man overnight by chaotic circumstance.

I believe our the creation of our species is result of genetic evolutionary intervention by our Creator. I also believe that angles and demons, as mentioned in ancient texts, are what we would classify today as extraterrestrial beings and extra dimensional manifestations of spiritual energies. Regardless, how vain can we be to think that in the infinite vastness of the universe, we are the only living beings in existence.

As a Christian, I believe we were created with a soul. It is our soul that drive the vehicle of our humanly existence and it is the purity of our soul that determines our fate after we leave our mortal lives behind. God made us in the likeness of His image and after our mortal lives have ended, He wishes for our souls to return to Him. The only catch was that we were given free will and because of this we are susceptible to temptations that lead us away from God. I believe that He gave us the Commandments as a standard in which to live and maintain His good favor. And I also believe that for the salvation of our souls, he sent us his one and only son, Jesus, to show us the proper way home.

Unfortunately for us, there IS also a devil - a force of evil, if you will - and he does seek the ruin of our souls. He was given free reign to hold sway over the Earth and its inhabitants since the dawn of our time. He has perfected his wickedness over the millennia and has become the master of lies and deceit. His control over the minds of men is inherently the downfall of our civilized society. This world is gripped by insanity, which I believe is a byproduct of the devil's influence. Today, Man, in his conceit and arrogance, dismisses belief in God and declares that he can live and advance without God's divine providence. What folly!

At this point all I can firmly say is that there is some really weird things going on out there and almost nothing surprises me anymore, but this can end up being the mother of all mind-fucks. With the Vatican now girding itself for such a revelation, all indications appear that we are in for some serious social upheaval. All I can do is pray for the best, be prepared for the worst and despite any illusion the Devil may throw up in my face, I will continue to worship God as my Heavenly Father and Christ as my personal Savior.

Giving thanks is what it's all about

Irregardless of all that is wrong in the world and the problems and hardship you face in your life each day, be thankful for what you have in this world, because I can guarantee if you're reading this posting, you have it better than most of the people on earth.

Happy Thanksgiving

Meet the beast...

ATHEIST SOROS FUNDS CATHOLIC GROUPS
By Cliff Kincaid
November 13, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

The critical role of the Catholic Church in passing national health care reform legislation is coming under serious media scrutiny. But the story has taken a strange turn. It has now been revealed that George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator and well-known atheist, has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into “progressive” Catholic groups that are significant players in the national debates over health care and immigration.

On the surface, it would appear that Soros would be opposed to many positions of the Catholic Church. A major financial backer of the ACLU, Soros supports such causes as drug legalization, the rights of “sex workers” and felons, euthanasia, radical feminism, abortion rights, and homosexual rights. He does all of this in the name of promoting an “open society.”

But a review of the records of his Open Society Institute finds that a group calling itself Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) has received $200,000 from them over the last several years.

James Todd of Pewsitter.com, which represents traditional Catholics, calls such groups “CINOs,” or Catholics In Name Only. He explains, “This group and several others have sprung up recently—I suspect purposely organized and funded—to counterbalance the growing influence of the faithful Catholics AND to try to deceive and mislead the middle of the road Catholics that have determined the last 13 Presidential elections.”

An AIM investigation also finds, however, that Soros money has gone into the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC), an organization established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops back in 1988. It has received at least $530,000 from the Open Society Institute.

The two issues merge in the fact that the Catholic Bishops are demanding that national health care legislation cover illegal aliens...

*snip*

If anyone deserves the title and recognition as THE ONE AND ONLY BEAST as prophesied in the Book of Revelation, it should rightfully belong to none other than George Soros. This man is the epitome of all that is evil in this world today. He is a self-deprecating Jew, intent on the destruction of all men's souls on earth. Aside from assisting the Nazis in the murder of his own people during WWII, this man has wielded his wealth and influence across the globe in the forceful propagation of abortion, euthanasia, prostitution, homosexuality, feminism, atheism, class warfare, and communism. The more he twists this world into his version of the Devil's play land, the wealthier and more powerful he becomes.

For years he has been the bane of all that is holy to the Catholic Church. This man has dedicated his life to the demoralization of the general population within the Church as well as the decline of overall moral fortitude in civilized society at large. Pay close attention to this individual. His is the true power and influence behind Obama and his radical agenda of transforming our country into a smoldering pit of sewage. I emphatically contend that George Soros has done more in the name of true evil against humanity than the terrorist attacks of 9-11... tenfold!!!

And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Navigating with a Brokeback Compass

What the Atheist Left-Wing Media is refusing to tell you.


Every Christmas season brings a renewed conflict over the celebration of Christ's birth and Christianity in general. Every year we hear intensified caterwauling by PC liberals, atheists, agnostics, pagans and satanists seeking to eliminate any mention or symbol of Christmas from public view. Over the past decade, there also appears to have been a concentrated effort by Hollywood to trash the holiday season by releasing films that make a mockery of Christmas and denigrate the Christian faith. With the weekend release of "The Golden Compass," this year is no exception and the marketing techniques are in fact more insidious than any previous year.

For months we knew it was coming. It was being heralded as an exciting new film made in the tradition of "Lord of the Rings" and "Narnia" when in fact it was produce as an antithesis to those Christian based fictional masterpieces. "The Golden Compass" is based on Philip Pullman's children's book series called "His Dark Materials." Pullman is a militant atheist seeking to indoctrinate the masses by sneaking this film in under the radar during the Christmas season. The Catholic League found out about the movie's production and immediately sounded the alarm. In an effort to warn the unsuspecting public about the motives behind the movie, they released a booklet exposing Pullman and his works. Go HERE to read it in PDF format.

When word got out about the truth behind the movie, the producers of the film fought back by hiring a team of highly trained spinsters to promote the film and the editors made an effort to "sanitize" the film's content prior to release so as not to overtly offend religious viewers. The MSM also offered their assistance in hyping the film's release. They even went so far as to lobby for and received an endorsement from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). With the endorsement in hand, the spinsters then attempted to market the film with the USCCB seal of approval. Obviously, it wasn't enough. By the time the film opened last Friday, word reached enough people to ensure the film suffered a weak opening.

After the dust settled on Monday morning and the weekend totals came in, the MSM continued to push the hype, insisting that despite rumors to the contrary, the USCCB DID in fact endorse the film...

CORRECTION: "Golden Compass" disappoints at box office
Sun Dec 9, 2007 1:58pm EST

(Corrects paragraph 9 in Dec. 8 story to make clear that U.S. Conference of Bishops endorsed the movie, and did not oppose it)

By Dean Goodman

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Golden Compass," a costly fantasy starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, got off to a slow start at the North American box office and will likely fall short of opening-weekend expectations.

New Line Cinema's $180 million film sold an estimated $8.8 million worth of tickets during its first day in theaters on Friday, according to data issued on Saturday by tracking firm Box Office Mojo (www.boxofficemojo.com).

After Saturday and Sunday sales are factored in, the film will come in at No. 1 with about $28 million when the studios issue their weekend estimates on Sunday, said Paul Dergarabedian at Media By Numbers, another tracking firm.

New Line, a struggling Time Warner Inc unit hoping to launch another franchise along the lines of its blockbuster "Lord of the Rings" series, said last week it was hoping the film would open to between $30 million and $40 million.

"It's below expectations, but it's not an out-and-out debacle," said Dergarabedian.

Conspiring against the movie, he said, were such factors as a soft marketplace and unrealistic expectations for an epic fantasy filling the holiday void left by the "Narnia" and "Lord of the Rings" smashes.

A New Line executive did not return a call seeking comment.

Based on the first book in British author Philip Pullman's acclaimed children's series "His Dark Materials," writer/director Chris Weitz's film is set in an alternate world ruled by an oppressive religious authority. It features talking animals and a heroine played by youngster Dakota Blue Richards.

Even though the film downplays the religious aspect, it has been savaged by the Catholic League, a New York group that promotes religious and civil rights. Opponents said the book on which the movie is based gave an unflattering portrayal of the church and specifically the Catholic faith.

But the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops described the movie as "an exciting adventure story with a traditional struggle between good and evil."

For a while there even I was fooled into believing this half truth. When I dug a little deeper, I found out something very, very interesting...

US Bishops asked to Fire Chief Film Critic over Glowing Reviews for "Brokeback" and "Compass"
"Bishops horrified at what has been done in their name"

By John-Henry Westen

WASHINGTON, DC, December 3, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Bishops of the United States are being asked to fire the chief movie reviewer for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Harry Forbes, the Director of the USCCB Office for Film and Broadcasting, has reignited scandal by praising the film "The Golden Compass" which is based on an anti-Catholic novel.

Forbes caused similar controversy two years ago when he issued a glowing review in the name of the USCCB for the homosexual propaganda film "Brokeback Mountain".

Pete Vere, who has a written book on the author of The Golden Compass, spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about the USCCB review. "Several bishops have spoken to me about this review and they are horrified at what has been done in their name," Vere told LifeSiteNews.com. "Certainly the USCCB has to revisit its rules for issuing movie reviews." Vere's book co-authored by Sandra Miesel, Pied Piper of Atheism: Philip Pullman and Children's Fantasy, is to be released by Ignatius Press before Christmas.

Fr. Tom Euteneuer, the President of Human Life International, has called on the US Bishops to fire Forbes and his subordinate John Mulderig who co-authored the review of The Golden Compass. The HLI leader was incredulous that the USCCB review could recommend the film for children despite the fact that it admits the film has "occult elements" and carries a "sprit of rebellion".

"The fact that these gentlemen could recommend this movie to children is just abhorrent to me. I really do believe these guys should be fired," Fr. Eueneuer told LifeSiteNews.com. "Whatever happened to rejecting Satan and all his empty work and empty promises."

The USCCB review notes the great artistry of the film, but such is no reason to approve of it warned Fr. Euteneuer who has taken part in exorcisms. "St. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 11 that the devil comes dressed as an angel of light. And this is very clearly what is happening. They have taken an atheistic work and dressed it up as something good for kids."

Noting Forbes' former scandalous positive review of Brokeback Mountain, Fr. Euteneuer said, "The fact (the USCCB) didn't fire him at that time is what leads to this kind of thing. When you don't rebuke irresponsibility in using an office to spread errors then it leads to more irresponsibility."

In a rare move, the US Catholic League last week publicly slammed the USCCB Golden Compass review in exclusive comments to LifeSiteNews.com (see: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/nov/07113001.html)

*snip*

Although I am thoroughly disgusted with the deceit of the MSM and those marketing this atheistic crap to our children, I am equally - if not more so - appalled by the lack of action from the USCCB in addressing this outrageous apostasy within its own folds. Not surprisingly, this is just another example of the ineptitude shown by these so-called leaders of the faith; the same group responsible for the shell game that shuffled homosexual and pedophile priests around the country in order to cover up the devil's infiltration of the Catholic Church. It just goes to show that when you navigate with a Brokeback Compass, you inevitably lead others down the prim-rose path to hell.

Giving Thanks

Even those of us who don't feel we have much to be thankful for should be aware that we here in America have it much better than most people in the rest of the world. Be thankful for the ability to worship our Heavenly Creator in the way we see fit, be thankful for life and be thankful for those who are there for us in times of need. Be thankful for the blessings that God has given to us, if not for anything else, then be thankful for the freedom we have to make our own choices in life and the ability to shape our own destiny.

Below, I have assembled three historic thanksgiving proclamations from American Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and George W. Bush (November 15, 2007). These great and powerful leaders of our nation were well aware of the importance in giving thanks to Almighty God for His protection and guidance. *I'll bet that causes Michael Newdow to get his panties in a bunch!*

WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLICK THANSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"

NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed;-- for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish Constitutions of government for our sasety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted;-- for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge;-- and, in general, for all the great and various favours which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also, that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions;-- to enable us all, whether in publick or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us); and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

GIVEN under my hand, at the city of New-York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

(signed) G. Washington

Whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord:

And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisement in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people?

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!

It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness... All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessing no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace.

Abraham Lincoln - March 30, 1863

Thanksgiving Day, 2007
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

Americans are a grateful people, ever mindful of the many ways we have been blessed. On Thanksgiving Day, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy, the people we love, and the gifts of our prosperous land.

Our country was founded by men and women who realized their dependence on God and were humbled by His providence and grace. The early explorers and settlers who arrived in this land gave thanks for God's protection and for the extraordinary natural abundance they found. Since the first National Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed by President George Washington, Americans have come together to offer thanks for our many blessings. We recall the great privilege it is to live in a land where freedom is the right of every person and where all can pursue their dreams. We express our deep appreciation for the sacrifices of the honorable men and women in uniform who defend liberty. As they work to advance the cause of freedom, our Nation keeps these brave individuals and their families in our thoughts, and we pray for their safe return.

While Thanksgiving is a time to gather in a spirit of gratitude with family, friends, and neighbors, it is also an opportunity to serve others and to share our blessings with those in need. By answering the universal call to love a neighbor as we want to be loved ourselves, we make our Nation a more hopeful and caring place.

This Thanksgiving, may we reflect upon the past year with gratefulness and look toward the future with hope. Let us give thanks for all we have been given and ask God to continue to bless our families and our Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 22, 2007, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all Americans to gather together in their homes and places of worship with family, friends, and loved ones to reinforce the ties that bind us and give thanks for the freedoms and many blessings we enjoy.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-second.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Wrath of God?

First off, let me say that my prayers go out to all affected by the vicious wildfires ravaging SoCal. Fire is non-discriminatory, knows no social boundaries and one cannot help but feel great sadness for those affected by loss of property and life. My good friend and hero from the left coast, Claire (a.k.a. e-Claire from e-biscuit.com) lives in California and although I believe she lives well north of the fires, I do hope her and her family are ok. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her :(

With that said, I must say that after watching the reports on the fires sweeping through Malibu, it struck me as a little disturbing, hearing all the concern over the homes and properties of the rich and famous folks living there. I mean, the reporting by the mainstream media seems so focused on the efforts by firefighters to save these multi-million dollar estates and IMO, very little attention appears to be directed towards the average folks loosing everything they worked so hard for their entire lives. Now don't get me wrong here; I'm not looking at this situation in terms of class envy, but all I keep hearing is this litany of how it is so sad that Hollywood's most affluent are suffering at the hands of mother nature's wrath and how brave firefighters are struggling to their limits to save these pricey posh digs.

As I was hearing about the destruction laid in the wake of the fire's path and watching these reporters appearing so distraught over the possibility of these mansions being reduced to cinders, the first thing that came to mind was God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah - sorry folks, that's just what I thought of. With all the crap being sold to us these days by Hollywood liberals and wealthy know-it-all hypocrites, combined with the daily moonbattery exhibited by the socialist libtards, atheistic humanists and leftist politicians in that state (Schwarzenegger included), part of me has to wonder if the Good Lord has a hand in this. No, on second thought, I take that back. I know He has a hand in this. Once again, don't get me wrong here, bad things happen to good folks every day (I'm living proof of that), but fire has long been know as a primary form of God's purification of man for man's wickedness in society.

Regardless of who is affected by this hell on on earth, I do pray for them. Quite frankly, you would be very surprised if you knew those who I've prayed for over the years. My point in telling you all this is to make you aware that purification through fire is also a time for rebirth. I firmly believe this to be true in regard to ALL natural and even some man made disasters. Perhaps I just see it as God's way of reminding us of our mortality, how vulnerable we truly are and how we are always and continually at His mercy.

Innocence for Sale

After hearing about the pig-on-parade performance by Britney Spears last night at the MTV Music Awards, I couldn't help but feel sorrow for this obviously miserable human being. For the past several years, this girl has been the a prime target for many who just love to heap mountains of criticism on her. Don't get me wrong here, most of it has been very well deserved. It's just that if you look at her today and read about all of the self made misery she has in her life, you just can't help but wonder what drove an innocent young girl from a southern Baptist community to become the pop music industry's poster child for out of control moral depravity.

As a child, Britney was a talented gymnast in state competitions, a performer in local dance revues and a singer in her local Baptist church choir. At eight years old, she tried out for Disney's "The New Micky Mouse Club" and after studying performing arts in NYC, she eventually made it on the show. A few years later she was signed on by a record company and began her moral downward slide. Once she turned eighteen, she became instant fodder for millions of horny males spending hours on line wacking off to photos of her in numerous sexually provocative poses. If I remember correctly, she was even reported once as being the most Googled name on the internet. The racier she posed, the more attention she got. The more attention she got, the more money she and her keepers made. Quite literally, she became a multimedia whore.

This is by no means a unique story. On the contrary, this allure of rising to fame and fortune seems to be the result of typical baiting tactics used by the entertainment industry. Record companies pimp these young starlets onto the emerging generations hoping to reap millions in profits and keep fresh talent fueling their genre of perversion through music videos, teen magazines and television programing that pushes the envelope on FCC regulation on a daily basis.

Now, it must be said that by no means am I claiming to be some virgin eared, doctor of morality. Quite the opposite. When I was in high school, I got into some seriously satanic music and then I got involved in the punk rock scene. Eventually I grew up after some hard knocks but never have I ever seen so mush focus on sexuality from the entertainment industry. Where the punk scene was all about in-your-face anger, the pop scene is all about in-your-face SEX... and lots of it! As a parent of four with two being very young and impressionable girls, I am genuinely concerned and apprehensive about what kind of sleaze influences their lives - REASON #1,536 FOR HOMESCHOOLING :)

The result of years of marketing this in-your-face sex to our kids has become more and more evident as we see a sharp increase in the number of statutory rapes, child abductions, sexual assaults, and child pornography. Every time I see little school girls (not just high school kids) dressed like prostitutes, I can't help but think about where they learned to show such little respect for themselves. Yes, I blame the Britney Spears of the world, but even-more-so I blame the industry that corrupted their souls and bread them for sexual entertainment in the first place... all for the almighty dollar.

....................

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. (Matthew 18:1-6 Douay-Rheims)

What Hath Man Wraught?!?!

When I posed the picture of the abomination shown above, it was purely for the purpose of lampooning (or should I say "harpooning") Rosie-O for being the absolutely revolting moonbat pig that she is. All joking aside, I would have never imagined the predicament in which we find ourselves today.

For the past several years, Frankenstein scientists have been grooming their sociopathic egos by attempting to mimic the hand of God through genetic manipulation. First, it was experimentation on human embryos - human beings in their earliest stages of life. Next they attempted to clone animals... with little and questionable success. Then there was the ultimate horror... they tried to clone an actual human being!

After so many failed attempts at trying to play God, under the false premise of medical scientific advancement, these madmen are now creating animal-human hybrids for the presumptive purpose of farming regenerative tissues to replace damaged or diseased human organs.



...and now the British Government has now given this abominable research its stamp of approval!!!

Human-animal embryo study wins approval

Mixing cells and eggs to be allowed in search for new medical treatments

Ian Sample, science correspondent
The Guardian, Tuesday September 4 2007

Plans to allow British scientists to create human-animal embryos are expected to be approved tomorrow by the government's fertility regulator. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority published its long-awaited public consultation on the controversial research yesterday, revealing that a majority of people were "at ease" with scientists creating the hybrid embryos.

Researchers want to create hybrid embryos by merging human cells with animal eggs, in the hope they will be able to extract valuable embryonic stem cells from them. The cells form the basic building blocks of the body and are expected to pave the way for revolutionary therapies for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and even spinal cord injuries.

*snip*

To the best of my knowledge, the only proven advancements in the research of stem cells for medical cures have come from work done on umbilical cord blood and other bodily substances not derived from the outright murder and destruction of other human beings. Amazing medical advancements through ethical research are being achieved every day and given time, it may yield the cures we so desperately seek. However, the creation of life is miraculous and is a privilege intended for God alone. For us to think we have the right to create and destroy life for medical science or anything else is nothing short of evil.



How absolutely arrogant man has become!
