Falsehood in the 'hood?

Today is National Climate Action Day! Let your voice be heard! Now is the time to demand that your elected officials take action to curb your wasteful lifestyle!

I suspect we’re nearing the peak of consternation over the planet’s temperature fluctuations. I’m already looking forward to the next Ice Age scare.

I’ve been working on a post regarding so-called “racism” for a while now. Unfortunately it’s not completed yet. I do have a question: why is discrimination based on skin color viewed so differently than discrimination based on any number of other factors? The Bible teaches clearly that we are all of one blood. So what is it that makes “racism” morally more heinous than “hairism” - or any other reason why one group of people treat another group with disrespect or condescension?

It seems to me that by treating “racism” as a specific sin in its own right, we accept the unbiblical “race” argument as it is made by those who seek to exploit it. Those who look down on less educated people aren’t guilty of “schoolism,” they are guilty of pride. Skinny kids who make fun of fat kids aren’t “weightist,” they’re just mean. There are innumerable reasons why carnal humans treat others unkindly, and ultimately, they all come down to pride and selfishness. Why don’t we identify sin by its real name?

While we’re talking about calling sin for what it is, check out this quote from Hillary’s best friend. Barack Obama told this story to a still-segregated church in Selma, Alabama:

“Yet something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, “Ripples of hope all around the world.” Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children. When men who had PhD’s decided that's enough and we’re going to stand up for our dignity. That sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.

"What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation. It worried folks in the White House who said, “You know, we're battling Communism. How are we going to win hearts and minds all across the world? If right here in our own country, John, we're not observing the ideals set fort in our Constitution, we might be accused of being hypocrites.” So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.

"This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that the world as it has been it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

The emphasis is mine, to assist those who may be unwilling to follow the plot too closely. Two facts are important to note here: Barack Obama Jr. was born in 1961. The first of the marches in Selma, Alabama took place in 1965.

Can anyone spell l – i – a - r? Seems like the fresh face Obama claims to be is just one of many faces. He stands out from the pack for one reason: the media. Personally, I believe they have selected him as their baby-doll to ensure Hillary’s election. She is so disliked by the old southern base of the Democratic Party that if someone like Sen. Edwards were permitted to appear like a viable challenge Hillary wouldn’t stand a chance. Her nomination depends on the begrudged support of the southern Democrats, and rightly or wrongly, Obama is just the man to make sure she has that support.

Finally, here's a telling bit of information from Dr. Chuck Baldwin's weekly column:

"Not only has President Bush turned a blind eye to the gigantic national security risks posed by unfettered illegal immigration, he has become the most outspoken expeditor of illegal immigration.

"For example, just recently, President Bush gave a directive to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals demanding that a convicted Mexican rapist and murderer on death row be given another hearing. In what is obviously an attempt to grovel before and appease the Mexican government, Bush used an International Court of Justice ruling to justify this presidential intrusion into the State of Texas's judicial affairs.

"The murderer's name is Jose Ernesto Medellin. He was one of six gang members convicted of brutally raping and killing two Houston teenagers Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena, who stumbled upon a violent gang initiation. But George W. Bush wants him taken off death row and given another hearing.

"Thankfully, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has no intention of being bullied by this rogue president. Judge Michael Keasler wrote that Bush "exceeded his constitutional authority by intruding into the independent powers of the judiciary." Presiding Judge Sharon Keller said that Bush's "unprecedented, unnecessary, and intrusive exercise of power over the Texas court system cannot be supported by the foreign policy authority conferred on him by the United States Constitution."

Folks, the arrogance and presumption of our President knows no limits. And President Hillary will be no different. It is long past time to wake up and smell the ... rats?
