Forgetting Past Mistakes is to Repeat Them
The fundamental tenets of the Christian faith are that Jesus was God’s son and that he rose from the dead after being crucified near Jerusalem when he was about 30 years old. My wish for today is that you’d seriously consider the matter. Happy Easter!
The culture war is over? Oh, no it’s not. There’s much more to come. Some important battles have been lost; however, the will and the need to carry on is still strong in America’s Christians.
Ed Frank went to the New Way Forward rally and reports that only a dozen or so people attended the left’s answer to conservatives’ “tea parties” that have turned out tens of thousands of people protesting against Barack Obama’s massive deficit spending plan. FDL’s Jane Hamsher was there as promised, though. In a bizarre turn, she accused conservativess of being angry at not being the ones to steal now – interesting word choice, no? – and accused Fox News of organizing the real tea parties. Bizarre.
Nour Hadid beat 2-year-old niece to death over a period of 4 days after her husband accused Nour of stealing from him. Sadly the little girl’s death doesn’t seem to be what’s important to her husband, Alaeddin Hadid who is planning to sue because his wife’s picture was taken as part of being booked on murder charges.
Arizona State University is not planning to award Barack Obama an honorary doctorate degree in exchange for giving the commencement address at the school – and rightly so. At this point Mr. Obama’s resume is paper-thin, too much so for the office he already holds.
President Obama’s bow to Saudi royalty wasn’t befitting of the President of the United States. It was, however, an acknowledgement of reality. The U.S. operates on their oil, a fact that we need to change sooner rather than later.
Jane Hamsher’s busy keeping that lefty blogger no-one-wants-to-pay-us-for-our-hard-work theme going. News flash – if a customer can get your services for free then they’re going to do that. Unhappy? Try to charge them for your services. If your work is valued then they’ll meet your price. If not, well, you don’t have a sustainable business model, do you? That’s what the AP will find out if they keep going down the road they’re going.
Economist Dr. Arnold Kling made a short, sweet distinction between government taxation/wealth redistribution and charity, saying “if you want to tax me in order to give my money to charity, that does not make you generous.” This fact is lost on the editors of the NY Times, who bemoaned a cut in estate taxes for the wealthiest American families.
