You bastards!

 Today’s “You bastards!” letter for all your continued clamoring over Obama’s pastor:  Where is the “fair and balanced” coverage of John McSame’s spiritual advisors? Here’s a bit from a March 12 article in Mother Jones: Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a “war” against the …

Were you there?

 “Disturbing” is the understatement of this Happy Easter.  Here are a few excerpts that really jumped out at me as I read the article (see below):  He was naked, and the position he was in — his hands bound behind his back and raised higher than his shoulders, forcing him to bend forward with his …

You bastards!

 Time for another “You bastards!” letter… You bastards!  I have never seen such a hatchet job on a presidential candidate in my life!  It is clear after Obama’s speech that there is nothing he could possibly do to keep Joe Scarborough and his sycophants from endlessly harping on his relationship with his pastor.  As if a …

The shoah must go on…

 On Friday, Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai threatened a “shoah” on Gaza in response to qassam rocket fire directed at Ashkelon. “Shoah” is a Hebrew term for “big disaster” and is often used to describe the Holocaust. Vilnai’s comment to Israeli Army Radio (according to a CNIF bulletin): “The more Qassam fire intensifies and …

Obama, Oprah, and the “New Age Christ”

 Andy, Maybe I’m naive, but the “New Age” stuff doesn’t alarm me all that much.  It seems to be just another of those sleazy red flags that get waved to demonize a candidate.  This is just my take on things, but all this alarm over religions and philosophies and lifestyles that compete with organized Christianity …
