Jesse Jackson's Getting Old

Either that or the race baiting business must be busy this season. It took him long enough to jump on this bandwagon.

Jesse Jackson: Phil Robertson ‘More Offensive’ Than Rosa Parks Bus Driver

Jesse Jackson has decided to weigh in on the inflammatory comments that Phil Robertson made to GQ about gays and African Americans.
In an interview with Drew Magary, the “Duck Dynasty” star said the Nazis needed Jesus, that he never saw the mistreatment of African Americans while growing up in Louisiana before the civil rights era and that homosexuality was a sin.
A&E has already suspended Robertson, but Reverend Jackson, his Rainbow PUSH Coalition and GLAAD are demanding to meet with network execs, along with Cracker Barrel’s CEO, to discuss the future of all “Duck Dynasty” memorabilia or content.
“These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago,” Jackson said in a statement obtained by ABC News.
“At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’”
The release, dated Dec. 23, requests a meeting within 72 hours with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs and urges the network to uphold Robertson’s suspension.
Jackson and GLAAD said they believe it’s not right for a personality with such a large platform to benefit from such comments.~snip~

There isn't a thing Phil Robertson said that I can disagree with. I mean if Germany had more Jesus there might never had been Nazi's. I also grew up during pre-civil rights and I can honestly say I never saw anyone of color mistreated, also when I was raised we went to church and learned that homosexuality is a sin. Sin don't change with the culture.
Like I've said previously, this is more than just some silly reality show, if the American people allow this then it will be open season for any little fringe group in this country to dictate what we can think and what we can say.
If you want to support Phil then spread the word.

The "Angel Priest" Saga

Well this has finally come to an end, to the joy of religion haters everywhere, the "Angel Priest" appears to be a mere mortal.

Mystery solved: 'Angel Priest' identified

Mystery solved.
The “angel priest” who appeared at the scene of a Missouri car crash, anointed and prayed with the teenage victim, then vanished has been identified as Rev. Patrick Dowling of the Jefferson City Diocese.
A press release provided to FoxNews.com by the diocese said Father Dowling had been travelling Highway 19 between Mass assignments in northern and central Missouri when he arrived near the crash scene Aug. 4.
The arrival of the unidentified priest, who seemed to come out of nowhere, then attend to the victim before disappearing just as mysteriously, touched off nationwide speculation about the identity of the “angel” cleric.
Dowling actually identified himself in a comment posting on a story about his actions on the National Catholic Register website Friday night. The posting, one among many, appeared to go unnoticed for several days.~snip~

I honestly didn't believe that the incident was actually a heavenly manifestation but you can't deny that this priest was exactly where he was, when it mattered and when he was needed. That in itself defies coincidence.
But the truth is that for those who don't believe and despise those who do this will be just another opportunity to mock people of faith.
When you think about it though what does it matter?
Miracles don't have to present themselves as ethereal beings sent by God, they can actually be humans manipulated by events. But then again Christians know that so what the others think is pretty much moot.

The New Religion

You know I've been quiet for a while because I've been contemplating how far apart people in this country have become.
People with a liberal...or "progressive" bent in their thinking process has mystified me but I think I have come to some sort of conclusion as to why. The liberal mass media has been selling a religion for a long time while denigrating Christianity as a cult of simple minded followers.
Yet they use that very gullibility to sell  and persuade people to accept the idea of leader worship.
Chris Matthews gets a tingle, Obama's own advisers proclaim that Americans aren't "worthy" of his leadership, a media editor proclaiming that Obama is "Sort of God" and implying that to simply be in his presence is like a dream.

Pinch Myself indeed.


These are the things that low information voters have been inundated with since Obama's first election. The question that I have to try and answer now is how did we get to the place where so many Americans are more willing to trust in a mere mortal than a loving God?
No wonder so many believe we are heading towards tyranny.
