Labels

Over the years, it has been my pleasure to worship with many brothers and sisters in many different locations in the United States.  If I asked someone to visit these congregations and describe them to me in two words or less, there would no doubt be a great variety of descriptive terms.  Some of these terms would likely be:  Liberal, charismatic, institutional, non-institutional, fundamental, one-cupper, mainstream, non-cooperative, Holy Roller, legalistic, anti, instrumental, non-instrumental, conservative, contemporary, traditional, unorthodox, orthodox, normal, post-modern, and I am certain a number of other monikers I have not included.  Certainly not all of these congregations are...

ABC Labels 'Pro'-Rights Liberals, Tags 'Anti,' Negative Conservatives

Liberals are "pro" and bestow rights on people. Conservatives are "anti" and negative. That's the impressions that viewers would get from watching ABC. On Tuesday, Good Morning America's Bianna Golodryga mentioned the possible presidential candidacy of George Pataki, noting the former New York governor is "pro-choice, pro-union and pro-gay rights." Yet, on June 30, 2011, World News reporter Sharyn Afonsi highlighted Michele Bachmann's "anti-abortion view." On June 07, 2011, GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos suggested to Ann Coulter, "You seem to express some kind of understanding for anti-abortion protesters who use violence.” Using slightly different wording, reporter Aaron Katersky provided a...

Number of children in San Francisco declines

SAN FRANCISCO — Despite San Francisco officials’ efforts to keep families in the city, the percentage of children among the city’s total population continues to decline, causing concern among family advocates and others. Just 13.4 percent of the city’s 805,235 residents are younger than 18, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. That’s down from 1970, when 22 percent of the city’s population was younger than 18. In 1960, children made up 25 percent of the city’s population, according to the bureau. Hans Johnson, a senior policy fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California, told the San Francisco Chronicle that...

Overkill - Our correspondent is blown away at the largest gun show in the U.S.(Barf Alert)

LAS VEGAS—My nametag revealed I was a journalist from Alaska, so I said I was researching an article on firearms for bear protection in the Last Frontier backcountry. Century International Arms salesman Steve Sanko reached into a glass display case and came up with a bulky, tricked-out handgun. “If you’re looking for a compact bear gun, this is the best we have to offer,” Sanko said. “It’s our new for 2011, Centurion AK 39, semi-automatic pistol.” I handled the gun. It looked more like Han Solo’s blaster pistol than one of the big bore revolvers—.44 magnums and .454 Casulls—that Alaskans...

Anti Semitism USA, Circa 2010

Last week I was walking in Manhattan going from one meeting to the next, when I heard a voice chanting the words "dirty Jew" at me. As I turned around to see who had said them, I was slightly surprised to see a young boy, a Caucasian, of about 11 or 12 years of age. What was even more astonishing was that his mother was standing ...I think it is safe to say that we are in big trouble. right behind him, apparently not caring what her son was saying, not rebuking him in any way or even apologizing to...

Darkest Anti Semitism in Holland

A new book by Abigal R. Esman, who has lived in Holland until now, is an eye opener. Prof. Chesler says it should be required reading at the Israeli Foreign Ministry. Holland prides itself on its religious tolerance. Indeed, it welcomed Portugese Jews and, although they forbade them to join guilds When Muslims riot in Holland or disagree with anyone, they demonize them as “Zionists.” or own shops, the Jews nevertheless flourished in Holland as publishers, physicians, and diamond dealers. Holland also prides itself on its presumably heroic role as resistance fighters against the Nazi occupation. Ah—but the truth is...

The Anti-ACLU

The Alliance Defense Fund is what the ACLU would be if it would just lay off the smack long enough to realize its a soul-sold whore protecting some of the most evil behavior humanity is capable of. Its not often I get in the role of advocacy, because that's not necessarily the purpose of this blog, but this is a good organization that is literally doing God's work in protecting the "freedom of religion" part of the first amendment. I recently spotted an article involving them on at Fox News titled Lawsuit Claims College Ordered Student to Alter Religious Views...
