Lazy post

Just needed to post something. 

Down for the 10 count

 3 Christians givin' it to the atheists on the chin. Go boys!

 Round 1: Mike S. Adams softens 'em up

 Round 2: Dinesh D'Souza continues the clobberin'

Round 3: Chuck Norris finishes 'em off with a roundhouse kick

Right, Left, Right, Wrong

Wow! Where did the time go? Months since I last posted. How can it be? Life, man, life.

Any which way, I've been thinking about this whole gay marriage/Prop 8 thingy. I understand the ire from the advocates, especially those really wanting to tie the knot. I know I'd be pretty hacked off if I couldn't do something that others in society can . . . hey, wait a minute, come to think of it, all of us everyday are faced with this. 

Like, not all teen-agers can drive. Only those of a certain age (which varies by state, as is proper). How fair is that!? Why that's down right discriminatory. Darned laws. Teenage-ists! Shame, shame! Why, I think under-age teens should sue for their right to drive! Ya, that's it! Let 'em all behind the wheel. Let's just redefine "legal driver." No problemo.

Oh, wait, there's more you say? Like, oh, I dunno, umm, legal drinking age?

How's about how old you have to be to by cancer sticks? 

Can I marry more than 1 person at the same time? What?! No? Not in any state? Off to Supreme Court, go I, to get my "right" to marry not just who, but how many whos, I wanna. Now, that would be good law, right there, yessiree.

I think I should be allowed to marry my cousin(s) too, while I'm at it. It just ain't "right" that I ain't got no legal "right" to marry any person of my choosing. Man, I hate this "free" society. What a joke! Keepin' me oppressed like this is just plain un-right. Somebody oughta fix it.

That's it. I'm so hacked off right now about how many rights I don't have, I have to go sleep off the frustration, depression, anger, and "poor me" attitude.

Trifecta

The 3 links below take you to really cool articles about really smart scientists who are telling us how really close to humans animals are (or is it how close to animals humans are? I forget). Italian turtles, white-coated brainiacs from Europe studying cows, and monkeys who share just for the joy of it. What a grand day for evolution!

• I feel like pasta tonight 
  
• "Go north, young cows!"
  
• Share, and share alike 
  

Night Stand

I'm currently reading "Rejoicing in the Lord Jesus in All Cases and Conditions" (Robert Asty), and thoroughly enjoying it. I started it once before, but couldn't get into it. This time, though, something's different and everytime I close it, I can't wait for the next time I can open it up. Give your spirit a lift and read this book!

The Anti-Civil Anti-Liberties Union

I think it is hugely ironic that an organization that claims to defend the civil liberties of U.S. citizens, is neither civil in its attempts to do so, nor really liberating anyone. Instead, they use threats of law suits and other bullying tactics so that weenies don't have to suck it up and learn to get along in a pluralistic society simply because they're "offended." So what. Get over it. 

Their most recent attempt at defending civil liberties is to threaten a law suit (that's the anti-civil part) against the U.S. Naval Academy to force them to stop the non-sectarian, completely optional/totally voluntary moment of prayer before each noon-time meal (that's the anti-liberties part). This is a tradition that has been in place since the founding of the Academy. (ACLJ.org has the whole deal.) What part of non-sectarian, and optional/voluntary, do they not understand? This is a joke.

I'm sure that since its founding, 1000's of ir-/non-religious cadets have gotten by without their dainty sensibilities being ruined by this 2-minute (if that) prayer time. 

The ACLU's attempt to expunge any expression of Christianity (Islamic expressions are A-OK with them, though) from the public, and now military, sector are laughable and infuriating at the same time. 

Why don't they actually spend time and money defending liberties, like the liberty of Freedom of Religious Expression? Or the liberty to not have to send a kid to school within eye-shot of a convicted pervert? Or how about the liberty to ignore or otherwise not participate in someone else's "offensive" behavior? 

Get over yourselves, ACLU.

The NEA (Non-Education Association)

Phyllis Schlafly does an excellent job of highlighting some of the more frightening resolutions passed by National Education Association delegates at this year's annual convention, which took place ironically enough over the 4th of July weekend. 

Unlike the NEA web site, I'll openly post the link to the 2008 NEA Annual Meeting Resolutions. Oddly, without doing a search on the NEA web site, you can't find the resolutions. Hmm. Guess they don't want us educated about their resolutions.

Instead of discussing meaningful ways to better teach Johnny how to read or Suzy how to write--which should take about 10 minutes, because the method really hasn't changed in millenia--our nation's "educators" are passing resolutions like this:

• statehood for the District of Columbia (H-11)
  
• single-payer health care (H-7)
  
• gun control (I-31)
  
• ratification of the International Criminal Court Treaty (I-3)
  
• fair housing for everyone in America (I-22)
  
• non-violence against woman and girls worldwide (I-25) (guess it's OK for men & boys)
  
• opposition to home schooling (B-75)
  
• no moment of silence (I-30)
  
• complete control (read "no parental notification") of physical and mental health of children (C-23)

and my favorite, "B-35. Multicultural Education," which equivocates homosexuality with race and ethnicity--basically calling it just another "culture."
