Why don't Christians get outraged and riot in the streets?

Name a teddy bear Mohammed and get flogged….

Publish cartoons of Mohammed and have riots in the streets all around the globe…

Make a movie about the violent treatment of women in Islamic culture and get your throat slit on the streets of Amsterdam ….

Why is it that the Islamic world is in such a perpetual state of outrage? Why don’t Christians rise up every time Christ is mentioned or even mocked. I think I have the answer.

Maybe it because we have already seen Christ suffer the most humiliating and degrading death imaginable? I don’t think there is much left to do that can top that.

My savior has already been humiliated. He has already been mocked and insulted to the highest degree. There is nothing that anyone on this earth can say or do to degrade his image any further than what he himself allowed to transpire. Christians are not thin skineed because our leader has already dealt with humiliation and carried that burden for us

Maybe if Mohammed had been this confident in his status as a prohpet, then his followers would not be so easlily offended. Thier constant anger and outrage sure seems like a case of insecurity and fear.

Government only better...

I constantly am mis-typing the word "government" as "givernment". 

 

I have come to realize that perhaps this is an accurate term for todays socialist entitlment leanings in the American political system.

 

  

Bush Derangement Syndrome

My family owns a Nintendo Wii. I love it and the kids love it. My son also loves Start Wars and Lego’s, so we are quite excited to see what the Lego Star Wars game for the Wii is all about. It was released today.

So I Google it and come across a site with a demonstration how the controls function. It turns out that the lightsaber action is not quite as hot as the Star Wars game that will be coming out next year.

The funny part is this comment that was inserted amongst all the Wii fanboy’s and haters. This from a Wii hater.

As far as Star Wars is concerned it unfortunately will never die. I bet even Bush is a fan. If all of the star wars toys, games, and overall merchandise in the world were to suddenly vanish the earth would implode from the sudden absence of 32% of it's mass. Without all that junk though, what is going to help run global economy into the ground? Bratz dolls?

So Star Wars is Bush's fault.

Here is an article about one of the  middle school’s in my town.  Fortunately, my daughter attends a different middle school.

How Appropriate

ATLANTA - Georgia’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered the release of a young man who has been imprisoned for more than two years for having consensual oral sex with another teenager.  The court ruled 4-3 that Genarlow Wilson’s 10-year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.   Wilson’s lawyer, B.J. Bernstein, said she expected Wilson would be released Friday afternoon from the Al Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth.

The lawyer for the guy in jail for a blow job is named B.J.  If that is a cosmic fit then I don’t know what is. 

Brian De Palma Sucks

De Palma's film, "Redacted," is based on the true story of a group of U.S. soldiers who raped and killed a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and murdered members of her family. It has stunned audiences for its shocking images and rattled American conservative commentators before its U.S. opening next month.

[Ed says: WTF? This only rattles Conservative commentators.? Are Liberals unfazed by such brutality?]

The film's distributor, Magnolia Pictures, ordered the faces of dead Iraqis shown in a montage of photographs at the end of the film be blacked out.

De Palma said he expected the images in "Redacted" to stir U.S. public debate about the conduct of American soldiers. Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi was gang-raped, killed and burned by U.S. troops in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad, in March 2006. Her parents and another family member were also killed.

He said the film provided a realistic portrait of U.S. troops…

De Palma, who looked at the atrocities of conflict in the 1989 film "Casualties of War," which also centers on the rape of a young girl by U.S. soldiers…

The U.S. invasion of Iraq was "clearly a mistake," he said, that was perpetuated by "defense contractors, big corporations of America" profiting from the war.

"How many billions of dollars are those companies making? And who gets more famous than ever? The media. There is nothing like a war to fill the airwaves 24 hours a day," he said.

There is also nothing like a war to provide material to disturbed movie producers obsessed with rape. This jerk thinks it is typical of our military of our soldiers to rape innocents, and that it makes good for compelling movies.

Here is the problem. This is not typical and it is not tolerated. Here is the prosecutorial response to the incident;

Specialist James Barker was sentenced to 90 years.
Sgt. Paul Cortez was sentenced to 100 years in prison
Pfc. Spielman was sentenced to 110 years in prison
Steven Green is charged with rape and murder. Federal prosecutors announced they will be seeking the death penalty for Green.

If De Palma has an objection to war profiteering, he should make a movie critical of the Governmental big wigs, not the boots on the ground soldiers. Why make a movie about an band of criminal soldiers and claim that to be the norm?

Middle School to Dispense Birth Control Pills

Should little girls in 6^th grade be receiving birth control pills from their school?  Should parents be notified if so?  Are American public schools infringing on a parents right to raise a child according to the parents own beliefs system and moral values?    

 

The most interesting thing I see in this story is that 5 kids admitted to having sexual intercourse at King.  Is the school board’s decision a total overreaction to a very small minority of students having sex?  Is the overreaction an intentional assault on family values?

PORTLAND, Maine - After an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow one school's health center to make birth control pills available to girls as young as 11.

King Middle School will become the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available, including birth control pills, patches and condoms. There are no national figures on how many middle schools provide such services. Most middle schoolers range in age from 11 to 13.

"It's very rare that middle schools do this," said Divya Mohan, a spokeswoman for the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care.

Portland's three middle schools reported 17 pregnancies during the last four years, not counting miscarriages or terminated pregnancies that weren't reported to the school nurse.

The Portland School Committee approved the plan, offered by city health officials, on a 7-2 vote Wednesday night. Whether the prescriptions would be offered this school year or next wasn't immediately clear.

King is the only one of the three schools with a health center, primarily because it has more students who get free or reduced-price lunch, said Lisa Belanger, who oversees Portland's student health centers.

Five of the 134 students who visited King's health center during the 2006-07 school year reported having sexual intercourse, said Amanda Rowe, lead nurse in Portland's school health centers.
