Take a look at this article posted at Summit Ministries (one of very few who are doing anything good for the church)...

Here's the gist - young people, i.e. everyone under 50, "don't get" what Chrisitianity is all about. I am witnessing this first hand in the students I mentor at IHS. They really don't see what the point is. As this article points out very well, they are just too overstimulated and too comfortable. The contrasts in life that tend to make moral and philosphical discussions seem important just aren't there. North Korea threatens to reign fire on us all... whatever. Iran's people flood the streets in search of a voice... snore. Terrorists crash into our tallest buildings and home to our military minds... uh huh. It's all the same. American's were not ready for the luxury that landed in our laps thanks to the very un-postmodern thinking of the GI generation. They saw a clear contrast between good and evil and proceeded to launch a costly effort to destroy the perceived threat to America. Then, they handed their disgusting offspring, the Boomers, the entire world on a silver platter. These little peter pans and power princesses thought their only job in the world was to have fun. They kept having fun while they should have been parenting their own children - the dark and notorious Generation X. As Tyler Durden said, "our great depression is our lives." And now, this rebelious, callous generation has become parents, and their kids are simply lost souls drifting along in a sea of materialism, to apathetic to notice the lighthouse sinking out of view. America's generations will soon pass into unconsciousness, and one of our enemies will simply walk up and finish us off where we sleep.

There is hope, though. It is the small hope of Yoda and Obi Wan. It is the fool's hope of Gandalph. It is the hope of the remnant. It is the hope of a very few who will tell each other stories of meaning and reason. It will be found in their seemingly backwards rejection of most of what used to be called entertainment. It will be those who question the very comfortable chains they wear. It will be a community of contentment and simplicity, it will be a community of clarity. It will be the last Christian generation.

Stay tuned for my own take on how to "get" Christianity.

More on Obama's Bad Medicine

Hear it from the doctors.

Of course, liberals will just say that doctors are greedy. Well, after 8 + years of medical school, maybe I don't mind paying somebody to be the best. We do it with pro sports players and nobody accuses them of greed. You know, if they keep ticket sales up, then why not?

Exactly, competition always improves profit and quality. Making you and I pay for the health care of someone who makes incredibly poor choices or sneaks into the country will put us all in danger.

Ahmadinejad Accuses Obama of Being Like Bush

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20090625/ML.Iran.Election/

I am gonna go ahead a say that Obama's Dictator Outreach Program isn't working. Obama is like the sheltered college kid who finds himself in a notorious biker bar. "Come on guys, violence and aggression are so primitive. Can't we evolve?"

"Of course, " they say. Remember "survival of the fittest" is not the same thing as "survival of the coolest media figure of 2009".

Think it's funny? The President is supposed to have our backs in brawls, and he is still trying to come to grips with the fact that there are perfectly sane people that just don't see the world his way and want to kill him and all the dreamy eyed girls who elected him. Not good.

Obama wants to kill you

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right...

My apologies, I have been offline raising kids, rehabing my back, and generally laying low. But, the current state of affairs compels my return to the blogosphere.


Quite simply, the political situation in America is not viable, sustainable, or acceptable. I can't help but think this is an amazing time to be alive in, though. We can safely conclude that both Republicans and Democrats are completely beholden to whatever they perceive to the source of their privileged lives. Hey George, Thomas, and Samual Adams (the founder, not the gay, pedophile, cheating mayor of P-town), it's revolution time.


Let me indulge some Eastwood and Wayne fantasy. Imagine no apathy. Imagine all the people having the guts of the Iranian protesters. Imagine a million people in every city asking for one thing - that every single currently sitting political leader and mega church pastor step down, no matter what their party affiliations, no matter their rank. Imagine the newsoids reporting reluctanly about a true grassroots revolution. Imagine day three of the protests. The governing elites would try to save themselves by asking the masses to "respect the process". To ensure that "the process" - that devolved excuse for American democracy that we now live with - they will dispatch riot police and national guard peace-keepers. It will be like Iran. The government will insist that the election was legitimate and that any opposition is illegal. Fortunately, a few "loonies" will refer us all back to binding agreements like the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc... But unlike Iran, we have the Second Ammendment. Not all of our daughters will be shot in the heart by rooftop snipers. Not all of our protesters just throw rocks.

Oh sorry, I got all "American revolution" dreamy eyed. Back to reality, ask any Iranian what is on his or her mind right this second and they will tell you "freedom". Ask any American the same question and the reply will be, "dammit, hold on, I got a text, crap Dutch brothers is closed, now what? mind? mind? I don't know. Do these jeans make me look fat?" And that's just the men.

And so for now, the clowns and jokers have nothing to worry about.
